About the Canon WM-V1
Need to shoot your show's narrator out on the school athletic field while you're on a tripod up in the stands? You've just discovered a use for Canon's WM-V1 Bluetooth® wireless microphone. With a range of up to 164 feet, you'll have audio recording options that simply aren't available when using a traditional wired mic.
The microphone and receiver modules are each powered by a "AAA" battery, and they communicate with each other. This allows the camera operator and talent to coordinate during the shoot, even in noisy circumstances.
The WM-V1's receiver module connects to your camera's "external microphone in" jack. An in-ear monitor is provided for both modules. And the microphone module comes with a jacket-style surround windscreen that minimizes overall wind noise.

The mic works very well, especially in situations where the camera has to remain stationary.
