I have a couple of types but a good cost effective type is the Sennheiser G3 series. Diversity system (always a plus) and they work really well. <http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/618739-REG/ Sennheiser_EW_112P_G3_A_EW112_p_G3_Camera_Mount.html> or <http://tinyurl.com/24yw234> They use 2 AA batts in each unit - transmitter and receiver. Audio connection at receiver is XLR so you'll need an audio box for the DSLR. If you're catching 2 people talking, you can mount the lapel mic on one person, closest to the middle of the pair and both will pick up. I have 2 pairs of radio mics, one of the above and one pair a more expensive type but to be honest, there's nothing in it and if I bought again, I'd get the above. I also have a pair of plug-on transmitters for use on stick-mics, one of which lives on the industry standard Sennheiser MKH-416 shotgun mic. Also some wired lapel mics for backup. > I have a pan >and tilt head. Should have used it for the opening shot.

More is better ;-) As I say, nice interior shots - nice and steady, great framing, no aperture change or focus hunting. Looked fab. I'd hire you ;-) More please! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Producion ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
