Thanks Martyn! I'll remind you! The sounds of the Sandhill Cranes this week
wound me up to take action and get some recording equipment. The 20+ east
migration route Whooping Cranes should be coming through our area in about a
month.
As I consider a mic, the ME67 seems to be a good choice for what I perceive I
need. Most instances I find good lighting and sit by a log or tree. I will
hike as far from all "human" sounds as I can and sit. I'm thinking the ME67
will be easy to carry on my backpack with my camera gear. A MD recorder would
fit into my vest pocket while walking. I'd probably use a cheap set of ear
phones to listen to what is being recorded.
I have a way to mount the Mic on my camera tripod to point it in any direction.
If Height is a big consideration some minor modifications would make that
possible as well.
Thanks for all the information. Now to make the plunge, and more importantly
earn my wifes blessings! LOL
God Bless,
Jeff

Hi Raimund,
I'd certainly be interested in what you discover from this! Glad you shared!

Hi Jeff,
Ok, I will let you know the outcome of my trials. Currently it's still
snowing here in Berlin, Germany. So I have to wait...
I have a Telinga Universal that allows to insert the shotgun microphone from
the other (front) side. Though, it would be necessary to cut an additional
hole into the zeppelin foam.
If it works satisfying, that would be an easy way to switch from normal
shotgun operation to the parabolic setup very quickly (and would save the costs
and weight for an additional omnidirectional mic).
There is another point that makes me optimistic. The Telinga Universal is
prepared for an outward-facing mic. Now, the mic would have an inward-facing
orientation that might be even better.
Regards,
Raimund
