Can you recommend lavalier wireless mic for 1D x? Looking for some mid range mic with reasonably good sound... I know nothing about mics but trying to educate myself..
Are there any specific things to look for regarding of mics for Canon DLSR?
Thanks for the tip. I will need something like small clip on mic so person can use both hands. Is Sennheiser considered to be good brand? Price would suggest that. I did not expect mic to be that expensive..
I guess it depends what one plans on doing with it...
Fairly inuititive to set up, excellent range and very clear.
Sennheiser excellent brand, good service. They are expensive, but if you've ever messed with cheap mics you'll know that sometimes paying more the first time is better than paying twice for kit you are never entirely happy with, or lets you down.
Charles, Sennheiser is a great quality brand, but the G3 is at the lower end of the scale in the big scheme of things - it's the best of the entry level options. At this price point your only options are this one or the Sony UWP-V1.
If you really wanna go cheap you can check out some of the VHF (nowhere near as good as the UHF systems) systems from Azden and Audio-Technica but these are not very good. I have a cheap Azden in the kit as a back up for when I need to run two wireless mics at once, but would not recommend it as a primary system. It only has a range of a few meters, and even putting the transmitter in a pocket is enough to introduce interference. These systems are ok for sit down interviews, but anything where the person is moving around will require something like the Sennheiser or Sony.
Even though it is my first mic purchase I don't want to spent money on cheap hardware that I wouldn't be happy with. I have Sennheiser EW 112P G3-B omni-directional EW system on the way and I hope it will serve me well.
