Sennheiser EW 500 G4 Film hire in Melbourne. The flagship Sennheiser 500 series camera wireless kit with the MKE2 lav, for interviews and run and gun shoots where you need range and you need it to work.

The wireless lav is where cheap kit lets you down first and this is the kit that doesn't. The SK 500 transmitter and EK 500 receiver sync over infrared in a second and gives you up to 88 MHz to pick a clean frequency from, so finding a channel in a busy city takes moments. Switchable transmit power up to 50mW reaches about 100 metres in clear air and the transmitter runs for over 8 hours on a pair of batteries. The receiver mounts on the camera with the output cable in the pouch and the MKE2 is a lav Sennheiser built its reputation on.

It's a step up from the EW 112P G3 in range and RF power and a step down in price from the Lectrosonics kits. For corporate video, presenters and documentary crews it's the sweet spot. It also pairs with a Sennheiser SKM 500 G4 handheld if the presenter wants a stick mic for vox pops.

Good for: corporate video, interviews, presenters, documentary, vox pops, real estate walkthroughs, events and location speech where the talent moves.

Good to know: Want a better lav than the MKE2? Add a DPA 4060, DPA 4061 or Sanken COS11 D when you book. Tell us the shoot location if there's a lot of RF around so we can set it before it leaves.
