So I have some cash and gift certificates from christmas. I have lav mics for events, but I also enjoy doing shorts on the side as a hobby. I'm looking into getting a shotgun mic setup, and wondering if it would be feasible for business, or if I should just plan on using it for my shorts. Any thoughts?

its and awesome mic, u pic up stuff your ears couldt hear. scary.

ive got 200 pound and suggestions for wireless for wedding?????

Honestly from what I've read here and heard from other videographers, wireless lavs can be finnicky- especially if you're buying on a budget. I recommend a couple of decent lavs (look around this and the audio board above for brand recommendations) and a couple recorders you can stick in the groom's/officiant's pockets so you don't have to worry about signal strength, distance, etc. I use minidisc recorders I got for 25 bucks a pop off ebay and they've worked fantastically well for me thus far. Good *temporary* solution for a non-existent budget.
