Wireless Video Mic Recomendation - Any Advice Grateful!!
Discussion
Hi Guys, got a bit of a dilemma!
I have been getting more freelance video work through, which is great. It alls comes through personal recomendations, which is even better!
BUT I have to offer very competitive prices , as otherwise I have had projects drop through, times are tough etc!!
Recently I have been getting more presentation recordings/training days etc, which brings sound problems....
I already have a Shotgun Mike: Rode NTG2, and relevant accessories, which is a great mic.
What with more presentations training days, I need a Wireless Mic set-up, so I can get good audio off the presenter doing the training!
The obvious choice seems "Sennheiser EW112P G2 Radio Mic Kit": http://www.videogear.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&... It offers everything I want, the only trouble being it is quite pricey, but I appreciate you get what you pay for!.
Another option I found is the "Sennheiser Freeport Presenter System"
http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/7066-sennhei...
Now I know this isn't specifically for video use, but it seems great value. I know the receiver will need a power supply, which limits it to indoor stationery use only, but I tend to only require radio mics for indoor use. Will the sound quality be good enough?
Part of me thinks stop being a tight arse and get the proper Sennheiser EW11Ps, but then another part of me thinks, I really need to keep outgoing costs down to a minimum, as I need to offer very competive pricing. Plus as I already have about 2-3000 grand tied up in equipment unless I am generating more revenue in 6 months time I might sell up and buy a motorbike!! (I already have another full time job)
Ive tried the ebay and second hand route, but there doesn't seem much out there on the market,
I have a Sony Z1 as a camera, which has XLR inputs as standard.
Any advice is much appreciated!
