External Earpiece Mic- receiver/ transmitter brand?

fitness101 — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 21:12:37 GMT

Hi Guys,

I am using my Canon T6i to film fitness videos.

But because I am moving around a lot while I am demonstrating, I would prefer to wear an earpiece mic that transmits to a receiver that plugs into the T6i camera for sound.

I can't seem to find any straight answers with what mic or receiver to get unless its a bundle like audio- technica ...which can run up to $399.

Can anyone help me regarding this issue?

Can I get any receiver? can I pick out a skin colored microphone to use with it? HELP!

thank you!

If you are looking for a wireless lavalier type of microphone, then Audio-Technica offers models, Pro-88W, for well under $200. Of course, there are other brands that I have never heard of that sell for well under $100. I would stick with Audio-Technica.

Do a search on Amazon or eBay for "wireless lavalier microphones", there is a whole bunch of them for less than $100

Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, there are a few choices I can see on Amazon! I plan to use this:

Earset Microphone [link removed per forum guidelines]

can you pick different style earset pieces to speak into with the audio technica wireless lavalier or others?
