What is the maximum current the DMW-XLR1 will ...
What is the maximum current the DMW-XLR1 will supply to a phantom powered microphone? I asked this during a Lumix Live youTube broadcast and neither Matt Frazier nor Sean Robinson knew. There are microphones like the Sennheiser MKH-800 that will not sound as good if not supplied with sufficient current. The manual doesn't have this number in its table of specifications.
I seem to have lost my previous response to the Panasonic Representative -
The *microphone* manufactures provides the specifications I want, but neither the manual which I downloaded for the DLW-XLR1, nor the web page here provides it.
For example - Neumann KM184 - 3.2milliamps, AKG C414 XLS - 4.5 milliamps, Sennheiser MKH 800 3.0 milliamps (but it wants 48V under load, not as measure open circuit from the supply).

The Panasonic DMW-XLR1 XLR Microphone Adapter will only work with Lumix (Panasonic) cameras. For the Nikon Z8 you will need the TASCAM CA-XLR2d-AN XLR Microphone Adapter Kit for Cameras (3.5mm Analog).

question
Does this allow audio recording during VFR mode?
Sorry, audio recording is disabled when shooting at variable frame rates. If audio actually was recorded, it would be so slow as to be unusable. The audio you hear in films during slow motion sequences is created. I can say from many slo-mo shots I have participated on the sound generated in real time is not very interesting. However, you can then take that sound and create meaningful effects in your editing.

question
So this actually receives an audio signal through the hot shoe? I don't need to plug a 1/8 cable into the camera like other mic adapters I use with the GH4?
You are correct.
