For a truly wireless experience, conveniently attach the transmitter to whatever you're wearing via the integrated back clip (or by using the clip magnet) without having to wire yourself or your talent. You can also hold the transmitter in your hand and use it as a handheld microphone. Use the transmitter as a lavalier mic (no need for a separate mic), or operate it as a traditional bodypack transmitter by plugging an external lav mic (available separately). The built-in mic features an omnidirectional pickup pattern that ensures reliable speech capture, even if mic placement is less than ideal; your subject's voice is captured with clarity, intelligibility, and consistency. One furry windscreen is provided to effectively suppress wind noise while still recording clear sound. Enjoy 6 hours of battery life on each component for 18 hours of recording in total.
