Reddit mentions of Hosa MHE-125 3.5 mm TRS to 3.5 mm TRS Headphone Extension Cable, 25 Feet

/u/donkawechico - congratulations on the decision to buy the GH4 - it's the best still/video camera you can buy at this price point.

That said, I recommend you avoid that "videographer's kit". Most of the accessories in it (to include the mic) are not worth much - and the seller (Pixibytes) is [not an authorized Panasonic retailer] (http://shop.panasonic.com/view-all-camera-authorized-retailers.html) - which means the camera is probably not covered by a factory warranty.

Instead, with an $1800 budget, I recommend:

• [Panasonic GH4 with a free copy of V-LOG (from an authorized retailer) - $1197.99] (https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-GH4-Mirrorless-Recording-DMW-SFU1-VLOG/dp/B01D40CASW//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) (you want V-LOG for improved performance in low light up to ISO 5000, as seen in the crowd shots [here] (https://vimeo.com/146034870))
  
  
• [Panasonic 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 weather sealed lens - $304.99 (last one at this price)] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=252524975948&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) (slower than the 12-35, but more zoom range)
  
  
• [Rode Video Micro - $59] (https://www.amazon.com/Rode-VideoMicro-Compact-Camera-Microphone/dp/B015R0IQGW//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20)
  
  
• [Rode Micro Boompole Pro - $99] (https://www.amazon.com/Rode-Micro-Boompole-Ultra-Lightweight-Modular/dp/B015ZXVACI//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) (gets the mic off the camera and closer to your talent - even when you're shooting solo - nice introductory video from Rode [here] (https://youtu.be/dfoopvFcY1E))
  
  
• [Hosa MHE125 mic extension cable - $8.45] (https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-MHE125-Headphone-Extention-Cable/dp/B000068O3J//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20)
  
  
• [3POD V3AH Professional Fluid Head Tripod w a 65mm bowl - $79.95 (on sale)] (http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60286/51926/1036?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2Ffp3pv3ah.html) (much higher quality than the tripod in the "videographer's kit")
  
  
• [Transcend 64GB Class 10 UHS-3 SD card - $27.84] (https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Speed-UHS-3-Memory-TS64GSDU3/dp/B00J3KA814//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20)
  
  This is a higher quality setup - and will cost you a little less.
  
  Hope this is helpful, good luck with your trip to France and best of the holidays to you and yours!
