I just picked up the LS-7 at a very reasonable price. So far I am
impressed with its timer and sound activation features, but I have
not yet tested it outside.
Does anyone know if there is a waterproof bag, like Aquapac etc, that
is acoustically transparent? Or other suggestions for a simple way to
waterproof this little recorder so it can be left in the field for
several days?
Many thanks.
