[QUOTE="Kiki Riki, post: 212240, member: 13132"] Hello everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster. So, I do video. For the past few months I have been borrowing my friend's Sennheiser G3 and it's awesome. I don't want to buy Sennheiser though, because there are no Sennheiser stores in my area, since I'm not from the US. Now, I decided to get myself a good set of lapel microphones. My plan was to buy all of the following in a $800 budget: [LIST] [*]Two Shure SM93 lavaliers [*]Shure FP15 kit [/LIST] The SM93's come with an XLR adapter with a voltage regulator inside so it handles phantom power, which is important for long seated interviews (think 2-3 hours) which I plan on doing. You can disconnect the XLR adapter from the SM93, effectively turning it into a WL93 lav, basically the same thing as SM93, just TA4F terminated. Now, I can plug that microphone directly into my camera with a TA4F to 3.5mm adapter, as it's specs support that, and I can also connect it to the FP15 kit, so that I have one of them working wirelessly, because I often have people talking and walking, and I'm always following them with a shotgun mic and the audio is ok, and I'd like to turn that to really good haha. Rode Filmmaker kit seems really good so far, but I don't know if I can achieve the same things I need with Rode? Basically, summed up those things would be: [LIST] [*]The lavs must be XLR-pluggable [*]The lavs should have at least some way of being connected to a 3.5mm, but this isn't a huge need, just convinient [*]The lavs should be able to operate for a long period of time (3 hours, and I'd like that wired, not wireless. More control over environment that way and cheaper. [*]The lavs MUST have one way of being wirelessly connected to my recorder/camera, so that I can mic people who walk [/LIST] There's also Sony and it's UWP-D11, but there are also no Sony stores in my area too, so it would be a bit of a hassle, but I'm open to all reccomendations. I'm hesitiating about buying the FP15, because someone said this: "My wife is a wedding videographer and I bought her a set of these. She HATED them. Constant dropouts and static." So that got me really worried. What would you guys buy? Thank you for your time :-) [/QUOTE]
