MICROPHONES Lavelier

[Nostalgic]

I would like to get this Sony ECM-44B Livelier http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/49318-REG/Sony_ECM44B_ECM_44B_Omni_Directional_Lavalier.html
I like the fact that it has a long cable that can go straight to the zoom h4.
Do you guys think it is a good buy for the money?
Would you buy a used Sony ECM-44B Livelier or would you avoid it and get a new one?

I'd certainly buy a second hand ECM-44B lavaliere if one became available and it wasn't damaged. Price wise - they're typical. For me, they're a little big. The Sennheiser MKE-2P-C being the XLR phantom version is my favourite, but more expensive. The Shure only works on it's internal battery.

When you say a little big-... I would like to use it under clothing with Rycote Undercover http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/538907-REG/Rycote_065105_Undercover_Lavalier_Wind.html.
Do you thing it will be noticed?

Under a T-shirt of a thin man.. certainly. Depends on the clothing, the wearer's build and where you put it.

Thank you guys for the help.
I ended up getting the Shure SM93 - Omni-Directional Lavalier http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=orderHistory&A=details&Q=&sku=76169&is=REG
I am sure it will do the job.
