The Azden model that comes with both lavalier and
hand-held mics works well for me. It is cheap
(adout $150 at discounters). Mic sound is "smooth",
and can use some EQ'ing for voice-work. The 9-volt
batteries last more than 1/2 day in both the
transmitter and receiver. The plug size is 1/8"
mono mini. The receiver has a foot for easy
mounting in the camcorder's accessory shoe;
the transmitter has a belt-clip, though it
pops off rather easily...
