<<Another technician suggested some kind of dynamic mic (but none
specifically), which might be more sturdy than a condenser. However I
know of no dynamic mics which could be usable for ambient sound
recording.>>

The Sennheiser MD441 is a dynamic model which provides a level of
detail consistent with many condensers, although at a lower output
level, as to be expected. In the past Bernie Krause has used Beyer
M201's in situations hostile to condensers & he might have useful
comments about those.
