For those cases, you'll want to either rent gear or save up the extra $200-400 for a good sennheiser kit with multiple transmitters and lav mics
I sometimes get dropouts in location situations, however, and the range is very limited because the Sennheiser portable receivers are not diversity systems.
High impact plastic but not sure they'd be quite as durable as the Sennheiser set, which are metal cased
It's an excellent moderately priced wireless lav system that's just as good as the Sennheiser or anything else we've rented

You can turn both units on and off from the receiver unit so if the talent pushes the button accidentally you can turn it back on w/o disrupting the program, or you can turn off the talents mic (bathroom break anyone), very nice feature
The included mic sounds quite good and has a nice low-end which is often missing on the built-in mic included with most wireless systems
Also the audio quality was useless, think the mic has to be broken inside
It has a pretty nice signal range and will usually cut out if you get too far away
It's not quite as immune to interference as I think a digital system should be.
Not quite as good as when I hook the Sennheiser lav up to it - the rode is a bit looser sounding compared to the sennheisers tight focused sound, but very usuable regardless
I can be in a nuclear fallout shelter with lead walls surrounded by florescent lights and still get a good signal.
Good quality sound, the wireless signal was clean, and the levels were really great!!
(Possibly it was due for a replacement, and technology has advanced, but even Senn's answer to this product is double the price)So far happy with testing it around my studio, will update it if it doesn't hold up in the field.
Other than these issues, I love the product and the price.
Amazing sound with the included lavalier mic and well worth the crazy price tag!

Had to held up the receivers usually in a shoulder bag during the whole boat trip, to have a stable range of again about 15m
The quality of the audio is amazing and the range on this thing is ridiculous.
Easy to set up, lightweight and works flawlessly with no interference (in NYC, a frequency overloaded city where Sennheiser ew 112-p were experiencing lots of static noise)
I've never gotten consistent noise, but I get little bits in the background once in a while even when at close range.
There has been no interference issues and minimal noise
Unlike other solutions below this price point, this is a *digital* transmission, which translates to a lower noise floor -- less hum, hiss, dropouts, and spurious noise than with analog transmission
