Customer Review: Pretty good sound, rugged and reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had a pair of PRO-88W wireless rigs for several years now. They've been dropped, kicked, and rained on -- and they still work. Sound quality is fine for 99% of all live video work, and with two channels available I can and often do wire up two people, then run the outputs either into a low-cost cam's stereo mini-jack input through a stereo adapter "Y" or into the balanced XLR inputs on my Sony A1U (with separately-purchased adapter cables).
Caveat: I've never had static or interference problems with the xmtrs within 25' of the cam. Beyond that, you take your chances. I have a $400 UHF mic for that kind of situation -- but I rarely use it.
If you regularly need much more range than 25' or so, spend the extra $$ for UHF, because all VHF units have the same interference problem. Otherwise, get two Pro88s, a spare mic or two (almost any mini-plug condenser mic works, lav or handheld), extra clips and LOTS of windscreens (Radio Shack has super-cheap lavalier windscreens), because these little parts will eventually break or get lost even if you secure them with tape (as I do).
Another thing to get = rechargeable 9V batteries & charger. These things don't chew up batteries quickly, but I like to start every shoot with everything fully charged "just in case." With fresh charges all the time, if someone leaves a unit on all day by mistake, no problem.
Even with a handheld mic, wireless is convenient *and* eliminates the possibility of your "talent" tugging a cord and knocking a tripod over. And the (somewhat arbitrary and perhaps too conservative) 25' range restriction should only rarely be a problem; almost the only times I find myself farther than 20' from subjects is at live concerts and other events, in which case I'm usually either pulling sound directly from a PA or working with a pair of heavy-duty, "music quality," phantom-powered, wired mics on stands that feed directly into my XLR inputs.
