Hi All,

I am very new to recording so forgive me if this is old territory or there =
is a fundamental flaw, but has anyone tried a mini ORTF setup using EM172 c=
apsules?  Rudimentary drawing at link below:

I would think it would be compact and portable and could be mounted on a ta=
bletop style tripod or a a stake of some kind.  Interested to hear thoughts=
 on this, be gentle I=92m a newbie ;-P

Best,

Jim
