Thanks all for the feedback. I am going to attempt Mark’s technique this Friday. Get the tripod set up nice and early in the pew and stay stationary . I like this technique because it has sometimes been quite challenging for me shooting the ceremony in churches. I do not shoot with a shoulder mount and I’m generally on and off the tripod . The idea that it is possible to remain stationary for the length of the ceremony sounds good to me.

BTW Mark, I think you suggested the use of the iRiver devices on this site, I just wanted to say THANKYOU!
They are simply magical devices. The sound quality is excellent and syncing up in FCP has worked mint. I use a shotgun mic in combination with iRivers and I have found no need to use a UHF wireless mic system.

Thanks again,
John

Thanks Mark for the feedback. When you say that you are in the pew, is your whole tripod in the pew , out of the isle or is some of the tripod still in the isle?

Thanks
