Great, crisp audio, even outside in somewhat breezy conditions. I also loved the flexibility of the kit \u2013 being able to use it in so many different situations.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t blown away with the useable distance however. Their website cites up to 880 feet, line of sight. I had troubles at 100 feet, outside in the park with no nearby interference.\u00a0 Also, remember that if your talent has the transmitter mounted to their belt behind them, that\u2019s not line of sight. Test for yourselves and see if your mileage varies.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, a great piece of gear for your video toolkit.
