Comments about Shure FP Wireless Bodypack System (G4 / 470 - 494MHz):
The photo shows the antenna standing straight up and erect. Imagine trying to get a rubber band to stand erect. It's a floppy unattractive, curly,cheap mess. The point is they shouldn't lie about appearances. The photo is literally a lie . . . period !!! Also, the plastic casing is the cheapest plastic. Both feel like a kid's walkie-talkie. It's from Shure but it's made in Mexico. That's a fact. Overall . . . NO PRIDE IN THEIR PRODUCT . . . THEY HAD TO USE A DECEPTIVE PHOTO-LIE. Why ?

Comments about Shure FP Wireless Bodypack System (G4 / 470 - 494MHz):
After trying to cut corners (and costs) with audio for video, this is my new go-to lav mic. The audio is super clear, even from far away, and the wide range of frequencies gives plenty of ways to avoid interference. Despite the extra hassle and set-up time of a wireless system, I'm using this for all my interviews. Being untethered also allows me more liberties when framing interviews, giving my videos a more dynamic look.

Comments about Shure FP Wireless Bodypack System (G4 / 470 - 494MHz):
I've been using the bodypack system for interviews and miking the groom at weddings and even though I've only used it a handful of times, I'm loving it!
It's supremely easy to use and set up-and the sound is great! It gets awesome reception with only small cuts if say your subject walks into another room.
Heck, I even got great sound while recording from my 2nd floor office to my downstairs living room! I was super impressed.
I love the simplicity-that there aren't a hundred dials and options-they just WORK. Period.
