If your still confused on what to get, try this out http://www.lafcpug.org/reviews/review_shotgun_mic.html

It should be what your looking for.

Edit: If you're looking for a cheaper alternative you could get the ATR-55

But where can we mount it?

The R0DE videomic would be awesome, but the active proprietary hotshoe makes it a problem to mount I think. Might have to make a custom plate.

If the in mic of my hc1 in a vocal concert (as far as 30 meters around 60 f) and the result are quiet good (same opinion on other forum) . Maybe an external micro is usefull for directivity for far sources ( if zooming works) .
If mic spécification of hc7 are the same as hc1 then OK.
can upload a small part of concert if iterested

The RODE is superb - and a very capable mic. Bit large for such a small camera, but will certainly deliver if sound quality is what you are after. This link should give you some ideas of how to mount a large mic - but you'll basically need a simple bracket:
