We shoot a pretty small-footprint travel show and deal with these sort of challenges all the time. Bottom line is we are never less than two people and could probably use a third completely dedicated to sound. We used a 633 in S1 and a MixPre 6 in S2 with G3s and Cos-11s in both cases. In S1 we were almost always one dedicated Sound Person with the 633 kit. In S2 we went from DSLRs to the Eva1 and we do a fair amount of NTG-3 into the Eva1 and sometimes the other person is shooting too. I would certainly recommend dropping the Zoom. The Eva1 sounds good. Other than that, there are no easy answers. Strongly considering a 3rd person and a boom as much as possible in S3. Obviously if I'm throwing a stripped down Eva1 under a piece of clothing over my arm to get out and about at night in Rio with some stealth I'm not going to have my other crew member kitted out in full sound regalia, but then we aren't trying to get perfect sound. Anything that rises to the level of interview or key soundbite has two of us with one very focused on sound and it still isn't as good as the full dedicated professional suggestions above.

I've had mine for about a month, and on a recent narrative shoot in the deep jungle, log canoes on rivers, etc, it performed like a champ. I got repeated CF card errors with the Delkin that B&H sold me to go with it, but it flawlessly switched to the SD card and googling that night back at base-camp realised that it was a known problem. I've since had no trouble with a Sandisk Extreme CF, and no lockups at any point. This was a big jump for me, technology wise, and I love it.
