<p>I use a Sennheiser G3 EW100 wireless set-up which works well using either a lavalier with the body pack transmitter or an AKG D5 handheld super cardoid with the Sennheiser XLR plug-in transmitter.</p>
<p>It took a bit of setting-up to get right, but for interviews, it works well.</p>
<p>If the 5D MkII is 'Camera B / C /D' etc, then yes its started and stopped at frequent intervals, though to save the hassle of clapped hand syncronisation (which certainly can't be used everywhere anyway), I use a plug-in for Final Cut Studio called 'PluralEyes'.</p>
<p>Quite possibly it's the single most useful piece of software I've ever found and on multi-camera set-ups it saves me hours and hours of mucking about trying to syncronise tons of ad-hoc footage.</p>
<p>Go to their website and click the 'Movie' button to see what it's about.</p>
<p>The other sound recording 'surprise' is an iPhone 3G or 3GS which if used with the right application, reveals a stunning built-in mic. I use an program off the App Store called 'FourTrack'. This allows me to use the iPhone as a pocket recorder and the files can be sent easily by WiFi back to FCP for editing. (Guess what I use.. 'PluralEyes').</p>
