Thanks for the perspective which is very refreshing. I have your company's =
parabolas and microphone and they work very well. I have other microphones =
that also have their uses and what I use depends upon what I want to record=
. No one type of mic is good for all situations as you mentioned. =0D

A parabolic rig is more directional but amplifies higher frequency sounds m=
ore than low ones. A shotgun is less directional (and so easy to point and =
to use to track birds in motion) but does not amplify the sound. Either way=
 some adjustment is needed with either choice to get the best possible reco=
rding. =0D

For air travel purposes I take a small foldable Telinga parabola & mic setu=
p, a Sennheiser shotgun mic, and a couple of small omni mics along with a r=
ecorder and a netbook. In the future I plan to add a hydrophone to the kit.
