Canon EOS 1200d Audio in?

Hi,

My son has the a Canon EOS 1200d, and would like to get audio in by bypassing the inbuilt microphone, there is no other external mic input visible, but I thought it would be worth asking here if there are other ways of getting audio in, via any other interface or bluetooth etc?

His reason is that he wants to record some short, average quality YouTube videos, but the internal mic is picking up a lot of ambient room noise, We have just taken the internal mic off of Auto-gain settings and will try some manual settings, but it would be good to get audio into it from something like a headset microphone, we are prepared to look at radio mic systems too.

Thanks in advance,

Jim.

The only option would be to get a separate recorder and sync the audio after. Something like this will do the job.
