Except for very long extension cord required, this hydrophone is truly
portable compared to the devices used for birdsong recording by Arthur
Allen and his crew.  If I recall correctly they recorded the sound on film=

with the movietone process, and the whole outfit was built into a
truck.  For the Ivory-bill recordings they moved the gear to a farm
wagon.  Ludwig Koch also used truck-mounted recording gear for some early
recordings.

We live tough lives.
