 Save your money September 28, 2008
When it worked this microphone was fine for a distance of about 20 feet. It faded quickly however in under an hour. I checked the battery, thinking it was chewing up batteries. The battery still registed 9Volts? I returned the item and spent an extra hundred for another lavalier that I am happy with. The only thing this has going for it is that you can't get a better price. If it stays working - you got a deal. If not you are only out $20.00 at most. I successfully returned mine for a full refund so I lost no money. I own the Pyle 100 watt portable PA system & it is a quality product - so I don't understand the lack of quality in the lavalier.
 To use with camcorder June 19, 2008
I brought this to use with my Canon HV30. The mic itself is working fine, but it does not work with my camcorder when plug in directly. I spent so much time to try to get it to work, and finally I got it to work. Here is the solutions:
1) Plug in the lav mic receiver to your pre-amp, mixer, or receiver. In my case, I use Rolls MX56C mixer for the portable reason and it work with V9 battery.
2) Connect the phone out from the pre-amp/mixer to the camcorder mic in with 1/8 jack cable. If you pre-amp or receiver does not have phone out, you can use line out. However, you need a special cable from Radio Shack to pad down the signal or whatever. The cable cost about $5 and the part# is Attenuating Cord 42-2461A.
 At least there's sound (usually) April 9, 2008

I bought this just because of the price, to see if I would even have to fork out more dough for Mics for my projects (and for this price, why not?) but to sell a Mic of this infernal quality that says "Super Professional" on the casing is just a crime against humanity.
Bear in mind that it DOES usually work (from no more than about 12 feet away), but it sounds like 1930's radio (actually, 1930's radio had tiny amounts of bass, and was at least *remotely* clean - this has negative amounts of bass, and has a filthy quality to it), and should only be used if you ONLY care about capturing someone's words, with no regard to what those words will end up sounding like.
Now it's a Super Professional trash ornament. Looks good, too.

I was expecting lousy quality, but I thought it would at least work. The battery compartment wouldn't even close so I had to tape it shut. Then I got it to work and you could hear a loud buzzing sound underneath the audio. Then, the mic just stopped working all together. This was all in the span of one afternoon.
Wireless mic works okay, but prone to interference! January 8, 2008
I tried this wireless mic system four times in three months, before I switched to a 900 Mhz wireless mic system. I noticed two major problems. The batteries need to be replaced after two to three hours of operation. The receiver design isn't pro quality as the frequency drifts on the receiver and the signal get noisy when the battery voltage drops. You can make adjustments on the receiver, but the frequency still drifts.
The second problem is the 170 MHz frequency, where this unit operates, is prone to interference, especially in the city. I had several intermittent interference problems that interfered with the audio, while taping several speakers. That's why I switched to a 900 Mhz wireless mic system. So far, the 900 system has worked, but only had it for a month. I kept the wireless unit as I'll use it as a backup or if I need a second wireles mic. For the cheap price, it's okay, but beware of these two problems!
