I had been looking at wireless microphones to go with my Panasonic camcorder for some time, but up until recently couldn't justify the cost as most of those listed which had good reviews were expensive and beyond my budget for something that would have occasional use. I then stumbled on this item, which had a good rating and generally excellent reviews, and fell within my budget.My order arrived next day (excellent service Amazon). The product comes in a black foam lined box offering excellent protection and storage. The two units are quite small, around the size of a pack of 20 cigarettes, but slimmer. The first thing I did was to work out how to clip the hot shoe adaptor to the receiver as this wasn't clear in the enclosed instructions. It's simple to do, and clips on to the wire bracket attached to the receiver. My transmitter and receive contained AA batteries, with a plastic tab that was removed to allow contact with the terminals. This tab was removed and the two units powered up. My first test was to connect the supplied lapel microphone to the transmitter, attache the receiver to the camcorder, plug in the small 3.5mm link cable between receiver and mic-in socket on the camcorder and then do a simple test recording by walking up the garden path for around 50 feet or so. The resulting clip when played back on the PC was excellent, with a rich deep sound, with clear top end. The microphone is quite sensitive, so doesn't need to be placed too close to the mouth. I've not played with the other settings, but for a straight out of the box experience it was very good.Included in the box is a second microphone with a 3.5mm plug directly attached, so you can plug this in and use the transmitter as a standalone wireless microphone, although there is no second adaptor clip to attach the transmitter to a table top or boom stand, which would have been nice. For under £80 I'm very pleased with my purchase.
