Re: Microphones

Just to close the loop on my question, I ended up getting an Electro-Voice RE50/B with a Sennheiser SKP100 plug-on transmitter. I think that this is a pretty standard set-up. Anyway, used it in New York City last weekend and it worked great. I discovered that a good way to find out what other people are using, apart from hanging out at B&H, is to hang out in Times Square. Ran into two other little crews. Off the subject of this thread but I am still looking for lighting suggestions. I bought a Litepanels LP-Micro, which is relatively expensive but very light in weight, which is great for indoor and/or close in stuff, but what's a good choice for a moderate cost options that is more like a spot, with a greater throw, but not a humongeous battery pack?
