Yeah, I am hoping that I can avoid a separate audio recorder. I know it makes it better, especially if you are using multiple cameras and cutting from one to the other. But gotta crawl before I can walk.

On the other hand, there are several really good digital recorders that will take a lapel mic directly. (Zoom H1 for instance). Don't discount the possibility of recording audio off camera and then syncing it during editing, assuming you're using video editing software that makes this relatively easy. For the mic itself, just pick up an ATR-3350. For the bodypacks, I'm a big fan of sennheiser.

So, looking at wireless mics this morning. Too many choices. Lots of folks selling high end stuff on ebay that is illegal to use. Huge price range, all the way from $10 to $1000 systems. I think I want UHF. But then when I look at those there are performance reviews on amazon all over the map too. I think I want a small receiver that can fit on a camera shoe. I know I want a clip on mic. I know I need to stay under 600 MHz, not totally sure you are legal in the 500 MHz ranger unless you get a part 74 license.... Arrgh. Love to have recommendations.
