Wireless mic for working with Canon HV20

[sf_kang]

Hi all, I am new to videocams and would like to hear of anyone who has connected a wireless microphone on a presenter so that his/her voice can be capture clearly while the presentation is being video taped? Wired mic is out of questions due to the risk of participants tripping over the wire.

What is the wireless mic setup? What brand? How much $? Where can I obtain a set?
Anyone have experience with parabolic directional microphones? Anyone knows what the impedance value is for mics that can work with the HV20?

Appreciate any inputs or ideas from CSers.

The sennheiser G2 Series should be compatible. If you want to rent, you may try http://www.cinegear.biz/

works on UHF range, about $700++ (after GST) at Hung Brothers, SLS.
runs on AA batteries.

Hope this helps.

Try Expandore opposite SL Towers. Try Azden brand, they have some good stuff that's cheaper. Also the Audio Techinca ones

I think it cost at least $800 cause the camera version using the bodypack receiver cost more. Should cost more than the standard ew100G2.
