Schoeps CCM 41 for doco/ENG paired with CCM 8 for M/S gigs if necessary. My first choice for everyday jobs.

Sennheiser MKH 8060 for hot news gigs.

Audio LTD wireless with sanken for doco work with hidden mic, DPA 4060 for quiet TV shows and sometimes TRAM if I need a "EQed " sound for TV.

Neumann KM 150 or KM 140 for plant mic or record journalist questions in ITW set up.

1 - Neumann KMR82 (hardly use anymore because of CS3-e)

2 - Sanken CS3-e

9 - COS - 11 (different configurations)

7 - Countryman EMW (hardly use anymore)

2 - Neumann KM150 with colettes

2 - Neuamnn KM140 with colettes

I am also considering adding 2 of those Peter Engh mini gooseneck mics for pluging on to Lectros

 

I think that about covers it.

Much of this is legacy from when I was doing a doc Law and Order show where we had to plant a LOT of mics.

All you need is 1 good mic in a good place.

I'm pretty new to the game, but I bring:

 

- Sennheiser 416

- Sennheiser MKH-50

 

For backup, I also bring:

 

- Oktava 012

- Sennheiser ME66/K6 (which I hate).

 

On the wireless I have a pair of COS-11Ds for my SMQVs, and a pair or EMWs for my G3s.  I also have a B6 wired for Lectro.  That's it!

Usually for 90% of my gigs it's:

Sanken cs3e

Sennheiser mkh50

Sanken cos11's(1-2 extra)

Countryman b6's(1 extra)

Peter engh mini gooseneck

I've got other mics but those are my go-to's that I keep in my main pelican case.

I have a mic pelican case that I keep all my other mics(majority of what everyone else listed) and that's usually in the vehicle.
