You won't hear the interviewer at all : ( $15/day</p> <p>2)renting TWO hard-wired omni lavs and each person gets one. $30/day</p> <p>3)Rent one G2 Sennheisser wireless and put on the subject.

However if you can, go with Audiotronics. The receivers and transmitters are smallter than Sennhesier's, they are cheaper, they sound better, and best of all they are made in the good ol' US. Chances are these are out of your budget (along with the rest of the world). But I just thought I would let you know they are pretty much top of the line right now.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-wireless-mic-for-canon-gl2#post-33694 Wed, 14 Nov 2007 14:32:57 +0000 Ryan3078 33694@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've always used Audio-Technica equipment.  Great quality, lower prices...and it helps that they are located 10 minutes away from me in case I have a problem with the equipment.(hasn't happened yet)</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-wireless-mic-for-canon-gl2#post-33653 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 09:16:05 +0000 Anonymous 33653@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Depends on your budget, of course, and whether you want lapel or hand-helds, but for wireless I use Sennheiser lav mics (EW112P-G2) as they are easy to hide and I can't fault them - when they're set up properly, the audio quality is exceptional. </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-wireless-mic-for-canon-gl2#post-33640 Sun, 11 Nov 2007 11:46:41 +0000 cc 33640@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey all-</p> <p>I just purchased a used GL2, set up a separate video editing computer, bought a basic video editing program (Pinnacle Studio 11), and now I need to buy a wireless mic, which is surprisingly confusing.</p> <p> I will be shooting mostly oputdoors, and if possible I'd like to have two mics, one for me and one for the person I'm interviewing.  I don't have a cameraperson yet as this is a public service project and they'd have to be willing to work for free so the camcorder will be on a tripod. </p> <p>Any suggestions would be appreciated.  If I can't have two mics, how would I go about interviewing people with only one mic?  Thanks.</p> <p>Chris</p>
