Recently I chatted with an audio engineer of a local non-profit
station, which is always short on budget. Their reporters don't use
dedicated equipment, they use everybody's own smartphone with a
cardioid mike plugged in. I forgot to ask which types of mike, he did
say that most people preferred a handheld because it gives them
something to hold/hide behind.


That's fine if you're recording, but if you need a live mic, that won't
work. Watchdog hasn't told us what he's using this wireless system for,
so we don't know if recording for later playback is an option. I
suspect, however, that if he wants to use a clip-on mic rather than the
head worn mic he has (that works), recording isn't his primary application.
