I'm looking for a 2 channel (2 microphones, not two frequencies) lavalier mic system with a camera- mountable reciever. All of the dual recievers I've seen have been tabletop units. Anyone know of any lav systems that would fit the bill? I wanna use one for guerilla projects and possibly weddings. Thanks.

Re: Dual Lavalier, On-Camera Reciever
azden has the WR22-PRO reciever
"A VHF "discrete" non-diversity receiver, the WR22-PRO allows you to use two wireless microphones simultaneously. Unlike the WDR-PRO, each receiver inside the case is set to a different frequency, allowing you to record the sound from 2 microphones at the same time. On-board controls allow you, the videographer, to monitor the signals being received and to stop receiving from either microphone if you wish."
List Price is: $280
Body packs (lav and trans) are listed at $135 each

Re: Dual Lavalier, On-Camera Reciever
hi there,
i have this unit and its pretty good.
I have it wired with a choice of two leads.
1) stereo with one receiver channel connected to each xlr input so i can isolate the tracks.
2) Mono with both channels wired to a single xlr input so i can run my 416t in the other channel.
Occasionally it picks up a sort of static pulse that is annoying but 5 mins in soundforge and it is removed.
I havnt worked out the cause yet but will post it if i do.

[quote author=dvxorcist link=board=Links;num=1100652728;start=0#2 date=11/19/04 at 14:20:49]Thanks. I looked it up at B&H and found the reciever going for $175 and body packs for as low as $85. Not bad. I'll probably pick up a set. [/quote]
Please be forwarned that VHF picks up lots of standard transmission like TV/Air/Military interference. VHF (Very High Frequency) are not as predictable or reliable as UHF (Ultra HIgh Frequency). Ofcourse UHF costs twice as much...
Another thing about single/dual channel VHF systems: No one else can be using the same kit in the same neighborhood. If they are, it will show up as hum or interference, or static. You can't tune most VHF kits or change the frequency. If someone else is, you either have to bribe them to stop, or use something else. PS, wired lavs are cheaper and better, but then you are tethered. Hope that helps.
