I've been really happy with this wireless lav mic set for some simple video work. The sound quality and range have been just fine.

We utilize this microphone with a Canon T3i camera to shoot training videos. It works very well and super easy to get going.

I used this to film small documentaries - the sound quality is great - I debated about getting cheaper models of wireless lavalier mics, but I think the price is well worth it!

The build is solid - metal casings - as a newbie to wireless mics, I still am having trouble trying to figure out how to change channels, but overall - this is a great product!

Sounds are great, high quality. You can't go wrong with using Sony. They last long too.

After an initial problem connecting the camera to the receiving unit, for some reason the angled connector needed to be plugged in to the camera, and would not work if it was connected to the receiver, it worked like a charm.

I have only used this mic a few times but it works great. I was looking into the cheaper mics and found they get cut off easily. Not the case with this unit. It functions well and sounds great. It comes with all the bells and whistles other than maybe a case to store it in.

I live in Canada and wasn't sure about what frequency range to pick as I wasn't able to find this info on the net. I decided to go with the 566 to 590MHz after some research and the transmission is great.

The audio quality is good and provides a better sound than my Rode NTG-2 Shotgun Microphone when in a loud or echo place.

I am using this with my Sony FS100 and I am getting 0 wireless issues.

Comments about Sony UWP-V1 Wireless Lavalier Microphone Package (30/32 - 566 to 590MHz):

I did a lot of research before purchasing this unit. I was leading a workshop and recording to video for future promo purposes. Many of the less expensive units were not rated well. It seemed that had I gone with a cheaper make and model, I would be spending more time fixing the audio for broadcast than actually getting the video on air.
The Sony UWP-V! really delivered well. It worked great on the camera during our testing and performed the same during the workshop. The metal casing not only provides protection, but gives the unit a solid, professional feel. The mic provided a clearer sound than other models I have used. Very good entry unit in the mid-price range. You could spend less on a different maker, but you'd end up spending more in lost productivity fixing the audio deficiencies. It is better to spend the money on a better unit the first time.

Very impressed with the sound quality and range.

Comments about Sony UWP-V1 Wireless Lavalier Microphone Package (30/32 - 566 to 590MHz):

I think the Wireless Lav from Sony is fantastic because I can use it with my Hpx 170 and my canon 7d. It is flawless and inexpensive. How can you beat that?

Comments about Sony UWP-V1 Wireless Lavalier Microphone Package (30/32 - 566 to 590MHz):

I bought this mic after researching many others in the category, but decided on this one based on the solid metal construction and the sound quality. Sony has a great reputation and has produced a fine microphone that is reasonably priced. The small unit is easy to mount on the camera and does not add too much to the overall weight.

Comments about Sony UWP-V1 Wireless Lavalier Microphone Package (30/32 - 566 to 590MHz):

The microphone worked as advertised right out of the box. When asking at a music store about a totally wireless microphone, I was told there was no such thing. The only ones they had needed 110 vAC for the receiver that connects to the camera. I was pleased to discover this one. I used it at a wedding which was held outdoors on a windy day. I had the mic pinned to the officiant's collar. Sound quality and pickup were fantastic. Only problem was the minister stepped back about 10 feet when the couple recited their vows. The mic still picked them up, but not as good as if he had stayed next to them. Biggest complaint is the little wind screens and the clip for the mike come off very easily. Also, the shoe adapter does not fit the Sony Handycam which has a smaller size shoe. I had to find an adapter on line for it.

I'm a video guy, and I know a little about audio, but am in no way a professional sound person.

So far, though I've used this on one 2 day shoot. I used this in one channel on a Zoom H4n and had the Rode Video Mic plugged into the other channel. I was doing interviews, and had the Video Mic on a boom right above the interviewee's head, and this mic was on their shirt just out of frame. There was a lot of external noise in the area; industrial fans, tractors, cows. I THOUGHT I'd be using the audio from the Video Mic since it's unidirectional, but the sound from the Sony Lav had a consistently nicer quality to it, and usually did a better job keeping the external noise to a minimum, that is when the noise was off in the distance. When the noise was right by us, the unidirectional Video Mic did a better job at ignoring it.

I didn't really get a chance to push the transmitter/receiver under any extraneous circumstances. I had the receiver about 10 feet away from the mic most of the time with nothing to really interfere with the signal.

The windscreens that come with it (x 3) are nice and tiny. I wish I had picked up some extra fuzzy wind jammers, though.

It has a nice rugged metal build. However, WATCH OUT FOR BUG SPRAY. At one point my talent applied a quick spritz of bug spray. I didn't think twice at the time, as I was working on other things, but the bug spray corroded the plastic display window on the mic, and now it is permanently foggy. There's always a lesson on every shoot...

Other note: It would be nice if the receiver was able to get a battery reading from the transmitter.
