Is there a way to mount my microphone to my camera?

Hello, a while I was posting about putting together a project and I'm happy to say it's coming along smoothly. However, at the moment I am keeping my microphone on a mic stand behind my camera rather than having it mounted on top. This setup works fine as I'm conducting stationary interviews but it isn't ideal as I have to haul a mic stand around on top of the numerous other components I have. I went to best buy and they didn't have any mounts so once again I'm coming here, has anyone done something similar? If so, what would you recommend for attaching my microphone to my camera? Thank you.

 

Edit: So you don't have to click the links, the camera is a rebel t3i and the microphone is an audio technica at875r.

I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, but duct tape.

Do a Google search for the phrase "On-camera shock mount", you'll find something like this.  I'll assume you already know the power requirements for the mic and how it can be connected to the camera or some audio recording device.

Thank you everyone for your replies, I opted to go with the duct tape as it was already on hand. It was a little flimsy though so I threw in some hot glue and now it is firmly in place.

 

Thank you again!
