I'm gearing up for a one man band documentary shoot. I'm shooting with DSLRs and am OK with using double system sound.
I'm looking for a quality audio setup to use for interviews. I basically want one good wired lav and the smallest field recorder possible to record it.
I've used the Zoom H4n, and although that may be the best option, I hate its poor battery life.
I was thinking the Countryman B6 would be good because of its small size. I won't know the people I'm interviewing very well so the lav will definitely be on the outside of their clothes (my limited sound experience comes from narrative shoots).
Is there anything I'm overlooking?
