Why wouldn't all your crew want doubles? They can get in the way of a shoulder mounted cam, is this the issue? Do bear in mind that the Eartec 900 series are full duplex only for two open mics at a time. Usually this means the director has their mic on all the time, an individual crew member only switches on his/her mic when they need to speak. |

As for Push-to-talk.... are you saying that the standard setup allows for the mic to be muted without the need for PTT? |

When my dad and I do weddings, we have hand signals worked out for coverage. Can't talk into a microphone during the ceremony...don't know what your specific application is, but it works well for us. Of course, we'd love to use headset walkie-talkies...but can't make the noise during the ceremonies :(

Yes, there is a locking push-button switch on the top of the Eartec 900 for mic on/off, almost PTT but not quite, because it locks. Eartec's docs call the modes "Talk" and "Standby".

btw, when i'm doing a performance, i need my ears to monitor the audio. i couldn't see myself wanting to chat with another camera man. i would go over the game plan before to decide who's going to do the long, medium, and close-up shots. |

yeah, but stuff comes up...the bridesmaid will take step back and cover a shot...we have to let the other know that we need to switch angles as we've lost coverage or whatever. We used to wear WT's and click the talk button 3 times to signal for attention to a hand signal...but we ended up just looking over at one another alot if we had to switch angles, so the headsets went away.
