I have one of these and they work well.  It screws onto the bottom where the tripod goes into and has a female thread so you can still put it on a tripod.  Get that and some type of adapter like the one I linked already, maybe a smaller one if you can.

I got one of these a few days ago, I removed the top hot shoe mount and drilled a large hole in it's place.  Now I'm going to use silicone caulking to pour mold a shock absorbing grommet/washer to insulate the DR-2d from the mechanical handling noises of the camcorder.  So far, so good.

Here are some pictures.  The silicone thing sounded good but didn't work out, so I went with a foam and felt gasket.  I can't hear any noises from the camcorder including handling noises.  So all is well.

Next project will be to mount my DIY preamp and AKG C1000s mic to my camcorder.  But that will be a llittle later, I'm currently expanding my preamp from mono to stereo.
