The Nady 151VR is an accessory that no video enthusiast should be without. This wireless microphone system for camcorders not only vastly improves the soundtrack of home videos, but it is convenient, easy to use, and remarkably affordable.The 151VR system comes with a pocket-sized receiver and belt clip, plus a choice of the Nady WHT-15 handheld or WLT-15 lavalier microphone transmitter. Both the receiver and microphone transmitters operate on a single 9V alkaline battery, with a transmitter battery life of 16-20 hours. The beauty of the 151VR is that it allows you to place the microphone “where the action is”. No longer reliant on the microphone in your camcorder, with the Nady wireless you can record clear, reliable sound as far away as 250 feet. Being able to place the microphone anywhere in the camcorder’s field of vision means that your home videos are guaranteed to sound great, much like a professional production. Indoors and outdoors, the 151VR eliminates unwanted ambient noise from your recording, as well as extraneous sounds associated with the operation of your camcorder.The applications of the Nady 151VR wireless are many and varied. Parents can record their child’s piano recital from the back of the auditorium and hear every note as it sounds onstage. Lecture presentations, awards ceremonies, etc., can have clear, professional sounding audio without distracting ambient noise from the audience. Anywhere you use your camcorder, you can use your Nady wireless. The 151VR is an invaluable tool for videographers and is engineered to deliver outstanding sound that is indistinguishable from the best hardwired mic you can buy – without the hassle of a cord. Operating on the VHF high band for interference-free performance, the 151 VR is available on 3 different frequencies, allowing more than one system to operate simultaneously in the same location. The 151VR works with all video cameras and camcorders that have an external mic jack or audio input.
