is it possible to avoid paying $300 for juicedlink xlr adaptor and get something less expensive? For eg. can i plug my mic into a mixer (which has phantom power), then from the the mixer into the hv20? I would need a something plug that goes into the mixer and the other end would have to be 3.5mm plug into the camcorder. Is this possible?

Beachtek is a popular brand.

Cables are available in many lengths with many combinations of connectors at the ends. You can educate yourself on what you need at B&H's great online catalog (bhphotovideo.com) then either buy from them or locally. But either your mixer has to have a mic level output, or you have to have an attenuator (also known as a a pad) to get the signal level down from line level to mic level. If you try to feed line level into your mic level input you will get garbage.
