Alonso Velasco Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hi all, I am looking for good quality waterproof wireless sistem for an upcomig filming. Talent will be almost constantly in contact with water and because of the locations, it will be impossible to boom it. I first thought about the Lectro WM transmitter with a 400 series receiver but I' would like to know how sealed they are and if they can really take a show like this. Taking this subject, what recomendations would you have for filming in extreme water conditions? Thanks in advance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelmoote Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Have had no issues so far with water on WM or MM, as long as everything is sealed and O rings are well maintained. WMs are very large and heavy compared to MM. However, with 2 batteries, the WM could run all day on lithiums without doing a battery change and has all the remote functions of an SM series transmitter. I still prefer the size and simplicity of the MM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Feeley Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Maybe check out some dry bags from Aquapac or another company: http://store.aquapac.net/explore-product-range/waterproof-radio-microphone-cases/radio-microphone-case-158b.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
