Professional and semi-professional cameras are fitted with microphone inputs, often using an XLR connector. The XLR connector is the standard professional microphone interface and allows any good quality microphone to be connected and used, including radio microphones.
Domestic camcorders will not use an XLR but some have a 3.5mm audio input jack that will handle a microphone level signal. If there is an audio input on your camera, it is important to read the manual to establish the type of connection it offers. Some are single channel, others are stereo while a few will only accept certain types of audio signal. If the audio input handles microphone level signals, it is usually possible to obtain or make a cable to connect a professional microphone to the camera's mic input.
Phantom Power: Many professional microphones require a power supply to operate, known as "phantom power". It is usually a 48 volt power supply that comes from the camera. Domestic cameras are unlikely to have such a supply so if the chosen microphone requires a phantom power supply, a separate, in-line phantom power unit will be needed.
