Hi! I am a videographer for a school. I was taping a governtment school debate to day and i was thnking...?

Question

...When me and my apprentice were taping, we noticed that our external shotgun mic that was mounted on the camera focused more onto the audience than the electors. We didn't have the time to mic them, i was thinking if you have a body pack connected to a shotgun mic on a tripod on the stage to mostly focus on the electors and have the receiver on the cameras as if we were field interviewing. Any one have the same idea??I WANT FEEDBACK

So... most companies don't make what you want... but Sennheiser does.

Check the upper left corner rectangular thing with the cylinder coming out of it... it plugs into any XLR-based mic (shotgun or whatever) and connects wirelessly to the base station (the body pack for the clip-on and the base station look alike). The Base station connects to the camcorder or mixer...

ENG (Electronic News Gathering) folks use this stuff all the time...
