I wouldnt overthink it. We use a wireless lavalier when we have time to hook it up to the person. It sounds awesome even in the noisiest of places. Plus it lets the person take us on walks without losing any sound. If we cant use a lavalier, we use a shotgun mic mounted to the camera. Whatever the camera points at, the sound is excellent. As always, just jump in. Experience will give you the answers. Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://momentshowing.net http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790
