EDIT>>> Using the existing video jack will be tough....traces on the circuit board would have to be interrupted and I am not going down that path. However, there are some interesting things in this thread around page 8 that suggest an external mic could be made to work through the GoPro bus port. Interesting, those Euros treat these things as if they're are almost disposable.
