Hi All

Would this work:-

Kodak zi8, Juiced link CX231 and a minidisc recorder. Bear with me here, the zi8 has audio in but no headphone socket to monitor sound if I took a 3.5mm Y jack splitter from the juicedlink and connected one lead to the zi8 camera mic in and one lead into the MD mic in could I then monitor the sound from the MD and record the same sound onto the zi8.
If this did work it would make a easy way to monitor sound on a digital SLR that has no headphone socket.

What do you think.
Cheers Steve.

it looks as though it should work, don't forget the 3db loss by splitting the cable.

As for the dslr your only monitoring the sound going in not coming out, so until you play it back you can never be certain.
