Visit a camera shot and get a shoe adapter that will allow multiple shoe mount devices. Note that SIMA has the "VideoBracket", SVB-1 for under $16. I've seen it at Best Buy, etc.

For a moderate priced shotgun mic, check out the Rode Video Mic, or possibly the Sennheiser MKE300. They can plug in to the MIC jack without the need for external adapters.
