Whats a good wireless mic system for receiving audio when filming weddings. I have 2 sony dcr-vx2100 cameras.?

Question

I am relatively new to videography and trying to get more serious into the business. I see that there are a ton of options for lavalier mic systems but I want something that is good quality and will last. I don't want to spend $100 on something and not be happy with the product. I also need to know if I can somehow have multiple mics on people that can be picked up by one receiver. Thanks a lot.

If you need to be portable,

The base station is battery powered, so you can mount it to the camcorder or your belt. This sennheiser also uses 1/8" jacks, so you don't need an XLR adapter (like a BeachTek)

If you are staying in pne place, the a base station that uses AC power is fine... Shure makes good ones. VHF is best. UHF is next best. Get diversity receivers. http://shure.com/ProAudio/Products/Wirel...

There are not too many multiple Lav, single base station systems that are any good. There are a couple of Lav + handheld mis systems that are passable. Shure and Audio Technica make some - I cannot recommend Nady or Samson. Do not get anything in the 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz frequency range - those are "shared" frequncies and you will be asking for radio interference.
