problems with microphone on new video setup

I had sort of posted this question in another thread but figured I would start a new thread.

I have a new video setup with a lipstick cam, Canon camcorder, and I'm using a small microphone very similar to the ones that people here have bought from supercircuits.

Instead of using the 12 volt 8 AA battery pack that are sometimes used with these, I wired mine into my fuse panel to supply 12v power to it.

Only problem, I'm getting alot of buzzing on the microphone. Which is annoying on the video. I went to Radio Shack and bought a filter and ran the power wire for the mic through the filter. Made a slight difference I would say, but nothing significant.

Any ideas? I still have my 12 volt 8 AA battery power pack that I can wire it to, but would prefer to use the 12v supply from the car's power if possible. Then I just have to flip a toggle switch to turn on the lipstick camera and mic, and I'm good-2-go.

Any thoughts? What can I try?

Brian
