Review is 9,2 out of 10.

Practical, handy and easy to use.

Small, handy size.
The microphone can be set well on a wider sound plane or very ready at a certain point.
Sound clips will be very easy to split into several smaller clips.
The separately available wind cat is quite expensive.

You easily learn to operate the device, you can record bird sounds well and the recordings can be quickly uploaded to the computer without a separate cable.
