Not able to include shop links . Look on Amazon for Professional Piezo Contact Microphone Pickup w/ Double-Sided Tape for Guitar/Violin/Banjo/Ukulele/Mandolin
Price: £2.79 + FREE UK delivery
For very cheap contact mic to see if works with camera.The pickup transducer doesn’t use any power. You can plug the other end of the jack from lead into anything. For recording I’d be tempted to use audacity on the computer if I didn’t have preamp . I’m wondering if you can warm sound up on computer rather than preamp? Before I had my excellent fishman preamp up I used a cheap guitar preamp and a dead cheap transducer to see what worked. I’ll dig out info on this and follow up. ….piezo contact Mic £3.49 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DSJY308/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And preamp (pedal) £15 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000KITQKM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1457474854&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=preamp+pedal&dpPl=1&dpID=41kTbQgY5sL&ref=plSrch
The cheap piezo contact mic came from China from niceeasyshop and took couple of weeks. No point spending money on fishman to get great sound unless it works in your camera . Good luckI use a fishman transducer harp pickup PRO-SBT-HAP plugged into a PRO-PLT-301 – FISHMAN Platinum Stage Analog, Universal Instrument Preamp. You plug a second lead into the ‘out’ of the preamp and into your recording equipment (or amp). The transducer stays on the harp and has a clip which holds the Jack. On my LH23 I have the clip just above the pedals but on my LH17 I have it higher. There are advantages to both. If I’m out, the advantage of higher clip is not bending right over! Most important thing is finding the sweet spot before attaching the transducer. Don’t stick it near any braces & keep it an inch or two away from the central string line ‘can’t remember technical term for this. If I could I’d buy the new Pilgrim pedal harp with continuous pickup made in the UK by John Hoare. He asked he to test it out and I was really impressed. You get a complete range covered for recording.
