Comments about Sennheiser ew 112-p G3 Camera Mount Wireless Microphone System with ME2 Lavalier Mic - B (626-668 MHz):
This wireless lavalier system is excellent - I can't think how it could be improved. It's all metal, with an option of belt clip or hot shoe mounting for the receiver. It's very easy to setup. By the way, don't buy the pearstone quick start guide that's recommended for it, because it's for an older version (G2) that doesn't have the same exact menus. Instead, print the quick start guide from the Sennheiser website itself. It's a truly professional unit, and you won't be disappointed.

This is a really great wireless lav kit with killer sound and rock solid durability. I bought a cheaper kit and had problems with reception and build quality. I returned the cheapo mic and picked up this kit and haven't looked back.

Comments about Sennheiser ew 112-p G3 Camera Mount Wireless Microphone System with ME2 Lavalier Mic - B (626-668 MHz):
I now own two of these wireless systems and they both work very well. They certainly seem to be the industry standard for video production.
I have experienced a fair amount of issues with noise interferenece, but after contacting Sennheiser I found that these issues can be avoided with propery setup. Here are the steps that I take to setup my Sennheiser wireless system.
Setting Up The Wireless Receiver
1. Turn on the wireless receiver by holding the "On/Off" button.
2. Scan for clear frequencies by pressing "Set," selecting "Easy Setup," then "Scan New List."
3. Once the scan has finished, select a bank and channel that you'd like to use.
4. Plug the wireless transmitter into your camera and listen for interference. If you hear interference go to step 4a. If not, go to step 5.
a. Press "Set," go to "Current list," and select a new bank and channel. Go back to step 4.
Setting Up The Wireless Transmitter
5. Turn on the wireless transmitter by holding the "On/Off" button.
6. To tune the transmitter to the proper channel, press "Set" then select "Frequency Preset." Select the bank and channel that you've set the wireless receiver to.
7. If you hear interference at any point during your shoot you may want to scan for new frequencies. If not, you're in good shape!

Crystal clear, great range tough as nails, easy to use....what the heck else do you need? THis is pretty much a never fail product. I've had every generation of this mic and it keeps getting better and better. The feature they added this go around that I love? An instant synch to the receiver with the press of a button. Sure beats having to change frequencies on both mics. Nice time saver when you're crunched to shoot.
Just rock solid. Worth the investment time & again. Never have to worry about good sound again. Your search end here. Yeah....I like it.

Comments about Sennheiser ew 112-p G3 Camera Mount Wireless Microphone System with ME2 Lavalier Mic - B (626-668 MHz):
It's a well made system, and a great (lower priced) alternative to Lectrosonics brand. No detachable anntenae, so they can be prone to damage if you're slamming them into a carrying case, but if taken care of - should last a long time.
I bought a Rode ZP1 Zip Pouch to pack mine away and it works well for indie shoots and industrials. If you're filming near an airport and want something that has more frequency options you will likely need a more expensive package... but for everything short of that this package works very well.

I was recording with an Audio Technica hard lav mic for too long -- was spending money only on the visual end of production. What a difference great sound makes. Going wireless is obviously awesome but I was amazed with the sound quality. They're easy to use -- though I had do a little research on the frequency channels. I'm definitely going to buy another one soon.

The only thing I don't like about them is that all the menu controls are underneath the battery compartment, making them a bit difficult to access at times. They're a bit expensive but very reliable.
