Great stuff mate and yes, the Sony ECM 55b's work great, I took a pair
with me to the tropical rainforests of Queensland and they worked great,
no hassle.

Subject: [Nature Recordists] Binaural otra vez
If one's looking for a reasonable binaural set up, just take two omni
lavaliere mics (I use Sony ECM 55Bs), tie a rope around the trunk of
a tree with the diameter equivalent to the distance between ears on a
human head, attach the mics opposite each other, and voila! No
hassle. No great expense (about $700.00 should do it). And they will
last longer under humid condition than other types.
Once, on a project, we were given an Aachen head (with Schoeps
capsules) implanted. Costs $25,000USD and comes in a 90lb. monster
Anvil case. Our client had us drag the damned thing to a Costa Rican
jungle where we set it up. The mics failed in 15 minutes (humidity).
We implanted another spare set of mics and those failed, too.
Finally, we tied the 55s to a nearby tree, recorded, and sent the
binaural stuff to our client, who swore those were the best (Aachen)
recordings he had ever heard (we never spilled the beans). Those
same recordings are currently featured in the binaural hearing room
at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida. So much for the claims of the
fancy stuff.
