New2MD. I need to record audio from a skier. Which MD?

[Guest Anonymous]

Gang,

I'm making DV movies as a hobby. Mostly my friends in action, like skiing. I'd like to mike a skier and use that as an additional audio track for these movies.

I've never bought MD before.

I guess I'm looking for a less expensive model with stereo mic input. Best if it can handle a little jostling.

Thanks

James

How about the Sony MZ-R700? It's an older model but with some decent shock protection and mic input. You can probably find one cheap on eBay or on clearance at an online retailer.

Any time you involve some serious jostling, though, you also risk a bit of skipping during recording--probably not enough to worry about, but I thought I'd mention it.
