yeah you should be able to get the power straight from the camera, that is if your just running the mic into the camera. Now if your useing a dat or something similar, then you will need a phantom power box. And you can buy those at any music store like guitar center or Mars Music. Or go online to, http://musiciansfriend.com You should be able to find it there. Hope this helps.
