recommend a wireless lav mic?

I agree with Jeremy on the Azden thing. I bought their dual channel jobbie, and while the quality of sound is darn good, the cut-outs are, delicately put, extremely annoying. I'm in this forum today to search-and-gather info about the most recommended wireless lav setup because yesterday's wedding I shot is officially peppered with cutouts while the officient is speaking. Always backing up my audio, I had my shotgun pointed at the action also. And I was literally less than 10 feet from the transmitter. I'm going out to B&H now to get that combo pack that was recommended. I'll keep the Azden for backup (you always need backup).

On a side note, my Sennheiser shotgun (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...969&is=REG&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation) is great. For anyone searching for opinion on shotgun versus on-board mics, here's mine: Good (a.k.a "expensive") mics offer enormously better audio. Any penny spent on this mic will be worth it, guaranteed. And that's not advertising, it's opinion.
 
Please see all of the comments associated with the ME66. Your opinion of this mic is not in the majority (though you are certainly entitled to it).

Yeah, no offense because I also used that mic for quite a while on some early shoots I did, but once you go higher, you'll look back on the 66 with a sour taste in your mouth. Such is life :)
