Wireless setup with handheld microphone for Canon HV30?

by Ringquelle Jun 27, 2009 8:29AM PDT

Originally I wanted to buy a Juicedlink, AT8004 and a Rode NTG. I have come to the conclusion however that the wire of the AT8004 will be a problem for what I will be using it for: small newskindsitemish movies. So, I think it would be best to get a good wireless handheld microphone and a wireless transmission system for about the same amount of money and wait untill later to get the Rode.

With a budget of about 500 euros (may be expanded to 600 if needed), what would be my best option? I haven't got anything in that direction at the moment, so I can't re-use stuff I previously used.

Check for Sennheiser equipment in your area.

Their ENG stuff is good. Specifically, the EW 100ENG G2 or G3. It comes with a transmitter that will fit any XLR hand-held or shotgun mic...

If you need the lav and the handheld to work at the same time, you may need to dig deeper to understand the capabilities of the portable base station.
