3 Mic systems for HVR-Z1U
I've been doing research on buying 3 microphones setups for my HVR-Z1U, before I take the plunge, would you recommend anything else, this is what I decided on;
1. Sennheiser ME66/K6 - Super-Cardioid Short Shotgun Condenser Microphone Kit Includes: Universal Shock Mount XLR Right Angle Cable Windscreen 2. Rode NT3 - Hypercardioid Studio Condenser Microphone 3. Sennheiser Evolution G2 100 Series - Camera Mountable UHF Wireless Lavalier and Plug-On Bundle with EK100G2 Receiver, SKP100G2 Plug-On Transmitter, SK100G2 BodyPack Transmitter and ME2 Microphone (C 740-776 MHz) |

Dear Yung,
Personally, I have been avoiding the Sennheiser "C" frequencies, 740-776 MHz, due to the uncertainty of the future use of this portion of the frequency spectrum. This applies only if you are located in the US. I would recommend a "A" or "B" version, depending on your location. The Sennheiser Frequency Finder is a very useful tool: http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite...qfinder-ew.asp |

I bought the ME66 because it's what I used in art school, but in retrospect I wish I had bought just about anything else. I liked the idea that it's modular, but I can't see myself buying another capsule for it. A good short shotgun (there are tons of recommendation threads here) will work well for certain things when you're outside, but I can't imagine it being a "must have" for weddings.
The Rode also might be a little bulky -- if you're trying to pack small and light, there are a lot of small hypercardioid condensers out there. |

AT4053a Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone instead of the NT3 |
I'll let you know in a few days -- I have one coming in the mail. :)

It isn't a Schoeps, but should be a lot easier to use and sound better than the NT3.

I don't know where the NT3 as boom mic idea got started. Maybe as a locked down boom with no one holding it. Given its weight and form I can't imagine anyone hand holding it on a boom.

Not knowing what your bugdet is...I would recommend that you try to find something better that still fits in your price range. |

What would you sugest for a shotgun mic, within reason Thanks |
My advice would be to take a long look at why you think you need a shotgun at all... If I had it to do over again, I'd save a few hundred bucks and not buy one.
