Curious Birder
Ok, I admit I used the recently rediscovered black-browed babbler as bait to get a quicker response--but that's exactly what I am going to do. I am going to have fieldwork soon in the area where it was rediscovered, and I need your suggestion of a good and affordable handheld recorder+shotgun mic to rent in case I spotted the mythical babbler.
Here are the only handheld recorder option available to rent in my country with my current budget:
-Zoom H5
-Zoom H6
-Tascam DR-40x
And for the shotgun mic:
-Zoom SGH-6
-Zoom SSH-6
-Rode NTG2
I wonder what will work best in my fieldwork environment, which mostly will be done in the thick Bornean forest where bird encounter can be as close as a few meters away, but with many background noise from other birds/animal. Also considering the nature of the babbler, I think it will better to have fast power-up duration and good pre record buffer.
Thanks!
