Hi All,

I found the following mic set for sale:
Samson: AMCU5K Camera Mountable UHF Non-Diversity Micro Combo System with AM1 Receiver, AX1 Plug-In Transmitter, AL1 Presentation Transmitter/Microphone, Samson R-11 Handheld Dynamic and Audio-Technica MT-350 Lavalier Microphones (Channel U5/804.500 MHz)

It goes for $400.00 and will be shipped to me in South Africa. Can anyone tell me if it is a good buy?
Will it be suitable for documentary/corporate style shooting?

What I like about it is that you get two mics in this package.

Thanks Guys

Jean

Oh yeah, will I need anything else with this Samson system like batteries etc?

Thanks Again

The price (in US$) looks fine, Jean. You'll just need some AAA batteries.

I use a Samson UHF diversity 32 system and have been quite pleased with it.

Have fun!

Jean,

Did you find your Samson package online? If so, where?

Thanks.

I found it at B&H.

Jean
