Ummm clearly I don't know the answer to that, that's what I was asking for advice here.

I am after capturing very short sound bites just a few seconds long. I'm not doing video production and my style doesn't lend itself to altering the event in anyway so radio mics are just a no go to start with. If you watch a few slideshows over at stillmotion.ca you will get the idea (they are a video production outfit so their solution is way beyond my means).

Cheers

Cris.
