(More customer reviews)This wireless lapel microphone, transmitter, and receiver works well for close quarters shooting. The 9 volt batteries can last up to 8 hours.
The sound quality of this mic is very good. But there are some issues. The RF signal is weak and I have experienced interference issues when the transmitter was covered by a suit jacket with the subject located fifteen to twenty feet away from the transmitter while other RF devices are present in the immediate vicinity. So Far I have documented four events with this set and I have experienced white noise and interefernce at two of those events. I did not experience sonic interference the entire time but once in a while a bit of static would build up and then fade away over 20 to 60 seconds of time. This seemed to depend on the movement of the subject wearing the transmitter crossing the path of other RF (radio frequency) transmitting devices. For that reason I have decided to purchase a higher end unit for Business and Wedding video shoots. I am still going to use this mic for studio interviews and on location shooting where my subject will never be more then 10 feet away when I have the luxury time to work out any interference issues.
All in all, I do like this wireless mic set because it is easy to work with and fills a a particular niche for beginning Videographers. The Pro-88 came with a few extra things that helped. These include; a single ear bud that allows the camera operator to monitor the audio signal as its being recorded, two detachable belt clips for the transmitter and the receiver, a camera shoe mounting bracket for the transmitter if you would rather attach it to the camera, four strips of Velcro, and two strips of soft foam for resting the transmitter on an inclined surface.
I recommend this wireless lapel microphone system for small budget projects and as a possible back up for small events and venues. However I would suggest saving up and buying a pro series of wireless lav mics for weddings and corporate events.
