Hi John,
It would be really interesting to hear the difference between the FR2 and t=
he FR2 + X3 recording in the same location you have the time to do that :)
I've been using a batterygeek Li-Ion pack (10-14V 8000mAH and 650grams ) an=
d have found I get over 24hrs run time with my HDP2. This particular model =
is no longer sold but these type of packs are great for a weekend recording=
.
Have a good trip.
cheers
Paul
