All,
We're gearing up for a new project and just received a grant for some more equipment. We have around $1200 left in the budget.
I want to upgrade my sound gear but can't decide between spending the cash on two Sennheiser G2 sets with and VT500 lavs OR splurging on a new shotgun mic (I am currently using a Sennheiser ME-66 and have been pleased).
Some facts might help:
I'm pretty much a one man shop and need a shotgun that works well when camera mounted.
I'll need lavs at some point but can probably rent one.
The documentary will probably be shot mostly indoors and has a main character and his parents.
Look forward to hearing what you guys think.

In your price range, look at a Sanken CS3E or get a used Sennheiser 416 and then you may still have enough budget for a G2 and mic (though get the Countryman EMW before the VT.)
