Hi there,

I have a 3mm jack microphone that works perfectly with my iPhone and it cost well below £5. It won’t work with my Nikon D5100; it doesn’t record ANY sound at all.

What mic will work with this camera? I don’t wanna buy a different one that won’t work again. I don’t wanna spend any more than £20 as I only speak to the mic in a quiet room. I just need for the voice to be nice and condensed, without any background noise — stuff that my current £3 delivers excellently!!

Any ideas?
