The best you're gonna get off the camera is reference audio. That said I
use RE50s on my cameras for reference. All of this never matters anyway
as sync never works right from an audio stand point anyway due to the
differnce between the speed of light and sound. For example a camera
that is front of house and 50 yards from the stage will only match the
hand helds on stage by sight - not sound. You'll not find many editors
using audio to sync. Jam sync timecode is a far better sync option. If
you don't have that it's all sight.
