On the Road: The Independent Life of a Traveling Field Recordist

Hi, I'm a beginner when it comes to field recording. I wanted to start learning how I can record nature sounds with static videos or walking sounds. What are a few microphones you would recommend for someone like me on a budget? I was looking at binaural mics like the OKM II Classic Rock Solo and Roland CS-10EM, but am open to more versatile recorders.

You are an inspiration. Thanks for work sir

Marcel you should also bring diving fins and a mask if the hydrophone gets stuck when you put it in the water next to the chains :-) Merry Christmas

I just love your stuff, it gives me so much inspiration!

BACKstreet Boys in the BACKground - thats where they belong to :)
Schöne Weihnachten euch beiden.

So, when you sit by the computer, the day is not over ;) When do you deal with recordings? Are you just collectin during the trip, and than after comeback to Iceland you handle the files?

Merry Christmas to both of you! :)

Excellent video - we love seeing you go around locations and find interesting things to record. So inspiring!!! Please make more "Day in the Life" type videos. Excellent camera and editing work, Libby!

Incredible video as always, love seeing the behind the scenes. Bought my Zoom H8 just to start out thanks to you!!

Fantastic work, thank you to you both!

Un video realmente inspirador. Gracias Marcel!

Hello there. Good to watch your videos.
I would love to watch the post production work of your recordings, like how you prepare them for online releases/sales. Please make a video on that, the basic steps or workflow. Thanks.
