Hi all,<br>
These are all great suggestions. I just wanted to also add that there?s a wonderful discussion of many of these practical issues in a chapter by Gregory Kohler and Keith Murphy, ?Audio-Video Technology for and in the Field: A Primer? in Sabina Perrino and Sonya Pritzker?s edited volume Research Methods in Linguistic Anthropology; and if you are interested in some of the ethical and theoretical considerations surrounding use of and choice of recorders, I?ve got a piece in American Anthropologist (2017, vol 119 issue 1) about this, titled ?Anthropological Ethics and the Communicative Affordances of Audio-Video Recorders in Ethnographic Fieldwork: Transduction as Theory.?<br>
Take care,<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I second the backup recorder idea. I?ve had a few times when my backup recorder has saved me from that particularly horrible self-flogging grief after irretrievable loss of precious words (one time is all it took).<br>

I just wanted to chime in and say I always have a second backup device (cheap but effective Olympus recorder) which has saved me since there are interruptions you can't always account for (for instance, when you get a public safety alert on your phone).<br>

Friends,<br>
I think it depends on where you are recording and what you plan to do with the recording. I once had to record a crucial interview in a sports bar in Manhattan. If I had not used a recorder with two mics that could be pointed at a 90-degree angle and directed at the interviewee, the ambient noise would have rendered the recording useless. And there are times when pointing the mics outwards at a 180-degree angle helps (but most cell phones are, I suspect, about as useful here). So, the question for me is, what?s the soundscape?<br>
Best to all,<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I was wondering about what devices people are currently using or can recommend for audio and video recording. I have seen earlier discussions of this, but technology changes so fast. I may be recording live political speeches given outdoors. My preference is for easy to use, lightweight, and small. ( In fact, if there were a way to optimize my iPhone 13, that would almost be preferable, but I can imagine that is not quite enough?)<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
