Thanks for all the suggestions, dudes.
So, it seems that all you dudes are all on board the R09's train these days. Is the portable HD recording thing stable? I was always scared about drop-outs and stuttering sound with a HD recorder. My friend showed me his R09 last year and the build quality looked cheesy, nothing compared to the brick like quality of my beloved M1.
Is the R09 considered the gold standard for low profile applications these days? Or can I get something a bit more substantial (but still stealthable).
cheers
