[Jim Hilton]

I’m a professional production sound mixer. You don’t want the mic on the camera pointing forward, you want it on a fish pole with a c-stand boom
holder. Now you can position the mic a couple inches in front of talent facing down. This gets your mic close and uses his body to get rid of room sound.
This will give you the very best results in most cases. If you use a Schoeps CMC6 w / Mk41 its not as directional and the results will be less the rewarding.
If you are doing interviews with off camera interviewer, Put you lav on him and the 416 above talent. I’ve done 100’s of documenteries with this configuration
and had very happy clients.
Also I have 416’s, 816’s, Sennheiser – MKH60, Sennheiser – MKH70 , Schoeps CMC6 w / Mk41’s and booms for sale.
Don’t forget how important sound is…
Good luck
