What does "powered microphone" mean exactly? I never had this kind of white noise with microphones powered by the 3.5 jack nor microphone with internal batteries. Does the Hoem have no internal batteries nor is powered by the 3.5 jack and need an external power supply to work? Is this the specific case that causes the noise?
By "powered microphone" I meant that the Mic (or well, a receiver in this case) would have its own source of power, rather than 3.5 TRS cable. I guessed that the reason for the nose might have been indeed that Hohem Mic needed to have its own source of power but than why would it function normally on Fujifilm XT5? I actually resolved the issue somewhat today - I went to the store and tried another ZV-E10 Mii, E10 Mi and A6700
Hello there, thanks! I thought so at first but then Hohem Mic works fine with Fujifilm XT5 through the same 3.5 TRS cable... I actually resolved the issue somewhat - I went to the store and asked to try it with a different camera: - another ZV-E10 MII had the same issue - ZV-E10 MI didn't have the issue - the signal was clear - and A6700 also didn't have any issue and I ended up returning ZV-E10 M2 and getting A6700 instead. I'll make an updated video probably tomorrow

Did you try to lower the volume in the camera settings?
Yes
I use a powered Sennheiser Mic with my ZV-E10 (original) and have absolutely no noise. Maybe it is caused by the Hohem Mic.
