What's out there in the way of in camera microphone mounts
 
Although I'm using my ME66 mainly on boom, I would like to mount it onto my XM2 as well for when I can't get an operator. What do you all recommend in the way of mounts and is shockmounting really needed on an oncamera mic?

Cheers

Try Lightwave Systems
 
Lightwave makes some excellent shock mounts and accessories. Try http://www.lightwavesystems.com

I use a beyerdynamic shockmount (the EA86). To be able to use the top-handle I use a so called "extension arm" from a Sony microphone (the MS908c).
This moves the microphone away from the camcorderbody just enough, and raises the ME66 a bit which keeps it out of the frame.

I have posted two pics of my setup :

Richard, Is that a beachteck adapter you are using? also, What type of lens cover are you using?
Thanks Joe

Yeah it's a DXA-4P, which is a beachtek.

I second the Lightwave Systems endorsement. Worth checking out.
