Wireless lavalier problems

[Oleg 2]

no i didn't check the squelch unfortunately. the studio was certainly small though, like a rather large closet. a scan for available frequencies would have been helpful to me which i did not do. however, i tried so many different channels and frequencies, so i gave up and went with the studio's long shotgun mic which worked well. i have a lot of information in this post, but i also wanted to ask what might be the best audio rig for a documentary i will be doing. i'm planning on doing indoor interviews, but i also want to be able to capture good sound while going around a village interviewing people on the spot. i figured a boom pole with shotgun is too elaborate for this kind of guerilla style of documentary so i was thinking a supercardiod shotgun mounted on a pistol grip. thoughts?

for one man band there is no allot of things you can do
good wierless system amd probably good shotgun , riced above the camera is the best you can do
sanken cs-3 , cs-1 . neuman 81 or at-4073
for more opemn sound the ce-300 with hyper cardioid or my chiniz friends for cheap

well i do have a friend with me, but he is not experienced in video, much less being a boom operator. what do you suggest?

i cant sudgest anything as you want shoot gorilla style , in that pertucal case - you F......d
if you are going to shoot normaly that the shot gun or any directional mic could be fly over the action and your friend not exactly the real boom operator , i can sudgest aditional wierless set to make it wierless boom so he can go freely with the action .
then good microphone with pantom box and regullar transmitter would do more correct job then mic over the camera .
i still will stay with another directional mic on the camera for the moments you will likle to go without boom and still get some direxctional audio ( not stupid internal mics you probably have )
in that case you can make fast replacement of the reciever ( the secend reciever if you deside to work with 2 , as one sits on your subject ) be disconnected and the external camera mic would replace it in the seconds ( phantom on and then you go)
take mice from the boom and place it back on the camera sometimes mean you dont have the shot or have it with garbage sound ( even it on camera , sometimes you can live with )
that what can i sudgest - live with or leave the sound
