Sony’s bluetooth lav microphone
Seth Godin asks for a bluetooth lavaliere microphone.
May I introduce you to the Sony ECM-HW1, Seth? The silvery grey piece on the left is the microphone, and the grey block on the right is the receiver. It's a little bulky, yes, but can be clipped to your lapel, strapped to an arm band, or hung around your neck with the provided neck strap. In addition, it has a small fuzzy grey cloth casing that it can be wrapped in to reduce wind noise. It runs off two triple A batteries, and has a range of 100 feet.

Thanks for the tip! Alas, this device only works with their camcorders.

Indeed. It’s fabulous with their camcorders, but I’ve been unable to get other Bluetooth receivers to recognize it.

Can the bluetooth of a laptop recognize it?
