This system has done wonders for us!

This is a great little mic setup, and has excellent sound quality. If I had one gripe, it would be to have the cold shoe mount adjustable on the receiver. I can't mount the receiver on my XA10 with the antennas and power switch facing the back of the camera without the receiver hitting the shotgun mic mount. Other than that, excellent!

I use this product for my Video Production projects.
I do online videos, seminars, lectures, short film and even some TV interviews.
I like how solid this product is and very reliable.
I have used it as far as 30ft with no trouble.
The only thing I wish is that it had XLR connectors for the microphone but I guess it's fine since they provided some adapters.

I use this product to shoot weddings, YouTube videos, DVD work and more.
I love the sound and the clean signal.
I don't like the fact they it does not have an XLR connection but heck they even include the adapter cable!

I bought his to work with my DSLR rig. Th receiver mounts to the hot shoe on my Canon T2i and connects to a Zomm H4n on the rig rails. The diversity receiver locked up to the transmitter and never missed a beat. For my application the omni mike is fine but I will add a cardioid for other applications. I believe the performance will be comparable to the Sennheiser when cost almost twice as much. Of course you have to set gain and used the right mic to get the right response.

I was a bit skeptical how well this product would operate based on other reviews, but I must say that I am VERY please with it's performance so far.

I do a lot of HDSLR work and this mic is perfect for helping with that. The receiving unit mounts straight to the camera via the cameras hotshoe, then the small 3.5mm audio cable runs straight into the camera. It's very simple to leave the unit on the camera for all day filming, or to quickly switch it with a regular shotgun mic. The range is pretty good even through walls and buildings. I tested it out and was perfectly clear from 40 feet away, even while going through walls.

My favorite feature is actually how simple it is to adjust the levels on the mic. There's a small tool that is always with the pack (inside the battery area) that makes it take less than 2 seconds to adjust the levels recorded as well as the levels sent out. AWESOME!

Purchased for a wedding and they worked great. I might upgrade the mic in the future. But so far I am happy with the product.

I am a professional filmmaker and cannot recommend strongly enough that you keep away from this product. Maybe this works on consumer-grade video cameras that have automatic audio level detection and such, but in a professional environment this product has no place. To put it most simply - you get what you pay for. Look at the prices of real wireless lav systems, then look at the price of this system. Again - you get what you pay for. The construction is of plastic and feels very cheap to the touch. The output volume, even turned up to its highest, is so low from this thing that I have to turn the audio level on my camera up to its max as well just to hear the signal. However, in so doing the audio is rendered completely unusable from all the gain that is produced. Awful. Just awful.

I purchased this system 8 days ago and took it to action on July 8 and 9th 2011 on a wedding. The lavaliere captured the bride, groom and priest as well as the V-6.

I can't even tell the difference between my $1,500.00 Sony UWP-V6 and this one. I used this 310LT on the groom. he was 2 floors below in the church's basement getting ready.

That means THROUGH WALLS, very far away while I was 2 floors up in the isle in position monitoring his audio before the service starts. And still NO HISSING or DROPOUTS WHATSOEVER! That was incredible for the price it costs. I have several lavaliere mics for each system for specific applications and uses.

According to someone else's review below, he states that the mic that comes with this unit is bad and captures "every sound in the room"...He was trying to interview a person with a omnidirectional lav in a busy and loud place which to me that's pretty ignorant. he used the wrong Lav mic for the wrong App.

The lav that comes with it has a crisp sound, excellent highs and mid range and just enough "weight" on the low frequencies without sound coloration, just perfect.

OK, for the uneducated ones that know nothing about lavaliere mics, there are different types of lavaliere mics and manufacturers realize that most applications are weddings.

SO, the mics that ship with most sony, senheiser azden etc are OMNIDIRECTIONAL mics, DESIGNED to capture everything around which is what YOU WANT if you are shooting a wedding ceremony. Now, if you need a lavaliere mic for Corporate interviews and the like, you need to order a UNIDIRECTIONAL lavaliere.

You will have a great system that costs very cheap (compared to Sony and Senheiser)

For the price I paid for this system I am amazed. The range is great. Really easy to use. Better than the mic kit I replaced that cost $200 more.

Is Functional

Comments about Azden 310LT UHF On-Camera Lavalier System:

The system works as advertized. Works well at resonable distances and on moving subjects. Allows great freedom in both ENG and EFP style sessions. But, the microphone is too prone to picking up stray off axis sounds and room noises. Fortunately, the standard mini-plug will allow me to use a better mic. I use a Shure system that requires external power for the reciever but the proprietary mic is a better location device.

Very happy with the unit. Great sound, even at a long distance and threw walls

Comments about Azden 310LT UHF On-Camera Lavalier System:

There wasn't any interference, and the audio wasn't overmodulated, but it picked up almost every sound in the room.

The first time I used it, I interviewed someone in a busy restaurant, thinking that as a lavalier uni-directional mic, it would cancel out other noises (for the most part) while focusing on the interview subject.

I was dead wrong. The sound was just as noisy and busy on the wireless mic as it was on my shotgun mic mounted to my camera.

I have since returned the microphone.

Although I did love the mount on the camera. That was very handy.

Bottom line: If you want a good wireless lav system, you have to pay for it.
