Here is a better idea:

The purple path marks the Mic_GND. I think you can use wire 10, 9 and 8 simple to connect the jack.

Refer to this similar topic:
AIS to standard stero input

If You wonna use flex cable "Sony Part #183064611", you need connect two resistor "SHOE ID1 and ID2" to GND (22kohm from ID2 and 0kohm from ID1). Then camcorder recognize audio accessory, and activate AIS audio input.

Look at part of attached schematic from service manual of SONY HVR-A1.
If You have this cable, tray it to use with accessory shoe in other camcorder then HVR-A1. I'm curious about this experiment.

Alternatively, you could purchase a Pearstone Mic Adapter for the AIS. The company is based in the US, and I've just bought one off eBay for the Sony HDR-HC3E I use here.

When it turns up in the UK I'll let you know what I think about it.
