Charles thanks for your thoughts. I'm looking at a DPA hyrdophone for some elements. Since your in favor of using Sennheiser what would be a good addition to the 416s? I thought the MKH 30 would be nice for the figure 8. Though buying that and the hyrdophone might break the bank.
Stuart Provine has a rig like that and it sounds very good.... he is using the MKH70 capsules I believe- Doing M/S with a short shotgun may be limiting for certain subjects due to the frequency response and the phase cancellation properties of shotguns in general.... but I adore the 416.... If I could only have one mic, that would be the one.

The DPA Hydro is REALLY pricey.... but as far as their line goes, there is simply no better for high performance underwater recordings. I am jealous....that is an absolutely fabulous microphone.
