I often take a pair of Sony ECM55Bs with me. Thse lavalieres are
compact and light. They're also sensitive, omnis, and "relatively"
noise-free. Tie a string around a tree about the diameter of the
distance between your ears and tack the mics 180 degrees opposite.
You'll get terrific stereo recordings and even a credible binaural
result. We use this system in lieu of the more expensive "heads."
Works just fine.
