Title: Range is only 15 feet
Product review: I just tested my new Sony WCS-999 wireless microphone on my Canon 60D. The transmitter and receiver are constructed using cheap lightweight plastic and are made in Malaysia. I have three comments:1. The lavalier microphone jack, and the cable that you plug into your camera's audio input are both 3.5mm mini jacks in MONO, instead of STEREO. So if you use a DSLR which records in stereo, like my Canon 60D, the system will record only on one of your two channels. To avoid copying the audio track onto both channels later on you have to go to Radio Shack and buy a mono-to-stereo adapter.2. The system has a useful range of only 15 feet, not 150 feet as Sony claims. And it will absolutely not work around a corner. It's line of sight only.3. The unit has a fair amount of background noise, (hiss).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
