Here are the verified specs & features of the Sennheiser EW 122P G4 wireless lavalier system, plus what to check / beware if you see it listed on a site like “ananditstore…odoo.com.” If you want, I can try to see the specific listing’s photos / price for you to judge its safety.

⚠️ Things to watch out for / limitations
Because it's an analog UHF system, interference from other RF sources / crowds may still occur. The ability to scan and pick a clean channel helps, but no wireless is totally immune.
The specified range is line of sight; walls, crowds, interference will reduce usable distance.
Cardioid lavs (ME 4) do better at rejecting background noise than omnidirectional, but placement is still key. Clothing rustle, wind, handling noise etc. need care.
Audio out is unbalanced via 3.5mm, which may introduce noise if cable is long. For best quality, proper preamps / camera input gain settings matter.
Rental / replacement of parts (mic, windscreen, batteries) could be costly.
🔍 What to verify if you see a listing (especially non-official / smaller store)
If you find EW 122P G4 listed on a marketplace or less-known seller (especially via domains you’re not sure about), check:
Model & “Band” variant: Make sure it’s “G4” and the band (e.g. A: 516-558 MHz) is legal / usable in your area. Sometimes resent stocks of certain bands are restricted or licensed.
Included parts: Should include bodypack transmitter, ME 4 lavalier mic, camera-mount receiver, locking mic cable, shoe-mount adapter, power (batteries / battery pack), documentation. If “just mic + receiver” etc., then parts may be missing.
Warranty: Should have official Sennheiser warranty in India, or import warranty with service centre info. Serial number, box & documentation are important.
Photos: Compare product and packaging photos with official ones. Authentic G4 units have particular build, labelling, serial plates etc.
Seller reviews: Are there user reviews for that exact listing / URL? Any complaints about missing parts, fake units etc.?
Price: EW 122P G4 is a premium piece of kit. If price is much lower than what E.g. Amazon / Flipkart / pro-audio stores list, that's a red flag.
💡 Price reference in India
DesignInfo lists the EW 122P G4 (Camera-Mount, ME 4 lav mic) at about ₹6,407 (GST input) in one listing I saw. Design Info
Other pro-audio retailers / importers price it significantly higher, often tens of thousands of rupees (due to import costs, official warranty, etc.). Prices vary a lot depending on batch, band, stock.
✅ My Verdict & Advice
The EW 122P G4 is a solid, proven wireless lavalier system with good features. If you see it on “ananditstore…odoo.com”, here's how I would treat that offer:
If the listing is close to known market price (taking into account warranty, shipping, tax) and the seller can show good photos and warranty, then it might be legitimate and a decent buy.
If the price is far below typical rates, or the listing lacks detail (e.g. photos, part list, warranty info), it may be a risk (counterfeit, missing items, grey-market).
For such premium gear, even more caution is warranted: paying a bit more for verified authenticity and warranty is usually worth it.
