In this vid, I don't understand where both mics are. I only see one mic on you.

@phototristan Click on the link to my blog in the description. There's a close up picture of the two mics and how they're attached to my shirt in the article on my blog.

Nice video. I could tell the difference but isnt that down to mics? The Sanken COS11D is of a much better quality when compared to ME2. Im considering the Sony UWP-V1 over the Sennheiser G3.

@JoshAlexful If you get the Sony, you have to also get a better lav mic to use with it. The one that comes with the UWP is pretty lousy sounding. The ME2 is one of the major advantages the Sennheiser has over the Sony kit. The ME2 sounds pretty darn decent for an included kit mic.

I initially though the Sennheiser G3 kit was way expensive until I started looking at Lectrosonics. Then the Sennheiser seemed like a total bargain based on the performance which is very close, IMO.

I bough the Sennheiser system.

Is that why the US Govt. needed to raise the debt ceiling; because, they bought Lectrosonics mics? I hope everyone truly understands the need to be on a budget. The next time I interview the Prez, I'll use Lectrosonics, everyone else gets the Sennheiser which works great [I can drive there and still afford to have lunch during my interview].
