Reddit mentions of Pro JK MIC-J 044 Lavalier Lapel External Microphone Designed Compatible with Zoom TASCAM Recording Devices - Standard Stereo 35MM Connector

/u/robot_one - sadly, this setup won't give you much light; the tripod is made for still photography, not video; plus the recorder has poor frequency response and outputs to mono.

Instead, I recommend [Referral Links]:

  This setup will cost you about $100 more, but will give you more light, higher quality audio and smoother camera pans and tilts.
  
  Hope this is helpful, good luck with your exercise videos and Happy New Year to you and yours!
  
  

I swear you should buy this mic. It's a perfect companion to the H1N.

For the lapel mic, wireless would be pretty expensive. Wired lapel mics are much cheaper. Something light this Pro JK mic would work just fine for an interview setup. An extension cable to go with can be really easily found for cheap on Amazon.

The 600D is acceptable for hobby stuff like this, especially if you hack it with Magic Lantern. http://www.magiclantern.fm/

The H1 does not come with a lavaliere mic but it does pair well with them. This is a well-regarded inexpensive lav to start with: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012Z698ZE/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_2_w

There are a number of techniques used to isolate lav mics from your movement, such as looping the wire or gaff-taping it to your skin under your shirt. The clothes-brushing isn't as much a problem as you might suspect though, especially in a piece-to-camera with limited movement happening.

His head is VERY near the top of the frame. If I were shooting that, I'd have a shotgun mic on a boom just outside the top of the frame, maybe 8-10" away from his mouth. It is not likely the the mic is mounted to the camera. You could indeed rig a Zoom H1 on a boom and use it in this manner, though controlling it would be a little awkward - using the H1 with a separate mic is preferred in this case.

Don't wait on having the perfect gear and the perfect technique - it can cripple you if you let it. Make something NOW with what you have today, then build on that foundation.

I've been using it with the Aputure A.lav and have no complaints. With a JK Mic-J 044 however, I get a tremendous amount of RF interference in the signal. I think the difference may be that the Aputure is battery powered and the Mic-J is powered by the Rode transmitter. Similar thing happens in this review video as well. My advice would be to go with a lav that provides it's own power.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am currently check lav mics and has heard good things about JK MIC-J 044 mic as well.
