Bad camera and mic combo, need solution

This the camera I have:

And this is the microphone I have:

The mic plugs into the jack of the camera but because there is not a mount on top of the camera I don't know how Im going to use the microphone without having to hold it. Is there a part I can buy to stick on top of the camera that will hold this light weight mic? Or should I try to find a mic stand that would be able to hold this mic so I can set it next to the camera? Not sure what to do, need a clever idea.

Something like this, though the stabilizing claims are pretty much nonsense.
