My dad who hires me occasionally to video education projects finally got the funding ($500-$1,000) to purchase a wireless system for a Sony VX2000.
I was going to recommend the Sennheisier Eng, but since I've seen a lot of mixed reviews and I don't have any experience with wireless to base an opinion on, I left the decision up to the tech guys at b&h. On their advice he got an Audio-Technica system for around $800 which included:
- U100 wireless sys. (receiver & hand held mic transmitter) $480
- XLR adapter (look like a beach tec) $144
- AT899 Lavalier Mic $196
When it came in the mail I was surprised to discovered that there wasn't any body transmitter included in the "system". So I said to my dad just order a body pack transmitter, after he talked to b&h they said that the lav mic i got won't work with the normal body transmitter because the mic uses 3 pins and the standard pack uses 5 pins. So I'm faced with a decision of sending back the mic and getting one to match the body pack or just going with whole different system. I know audio-techica is good name but the whole package with the body transmitter is a little over $1,000. Can any give me advice on how to proceed given my price range?
