Can anybody recommend a decent, inexensive ($200-$300) wireless LAV Mic for a Canon XL-2?

Thank You

Joe,

I have an Azden UDR-400. The receiver unit is made of metal--it is one of the most robust units ever built--, and it has dual antennas, balanced XLR output, signal strength indicator. It operates on UHF channels and there are lots of channels to choose from. When it is attached to the back of your Canon, it helps to counter the weight of the lens in the front, thus making the camera seem lighter on your shoulder.

I am selling it because I've sold my XL1, and I don't plan on buying another shoulder-mount camera again. Make me an offer.

Jason
