Can the Canon DM-100 microphone be boomed?
I have the Canon Dm-100 shotgun microphone for my Canon Vixia HF20 and it connects to the mini hot shoe. I didn't think about it at the time of purchase, but I want to be able to put this mic on a boom. Since it doesn't have any line-out (the sound it transmitted through the shoe), I can't do that. Is there some sort of adapter that looks like a female hot shoe with any kind of sound output (an 1/8 inch plug or a XLR cable)?
You answered your own question about the DM-100. "Since it doesn't have any line-out (the sound it transmitted through the shoe), I can't do that." There is no "hot shoe extender".
But the Canon HF20 has a built-in 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo audio-in jack.

Get a mic (like a NRG Research SA-568 or Audio-Technica ATR-6550) and use the mic jack for off-board mics. As indicated on Page 82, pretty much any mic with a 3.5mm connector will work - though levels will vary depending on the mic's characteristics/specs...
