you gatta love 7 hours on 4 AAs in a tiny little 660 that sounds FUCKING BAD ASS
love that box.
No offense intended, but I am always seeing people refer to the 660 as tiny, and maybe thats relative to your own frame of reference. But let me be a voice of reason to others who might be reading this thread and thinking about the 660 as "tiny"... I owned a 660 for 3 months and sold it because I was very unhappy with the size. The hand holding it in the promo pics (edit :not NicksPicks, which I just noticed, his is more like the actual size.) must be from a giant, because it does NOT fit in your hand that way. (I'm a big guy too, and it looked nothing like the photo in my hands). Take a look at
this photo of it from tfs7821's rig. Notice the size of it next to a cassette tape. I did not buy it for its primary function to be stealthing, I was going to use it mainly to capture sbd feeds, but I had thought about maybe using it as a stealthing deck as a bonus. Long story short, MT came out and solved all problems.
I'm not saying that it can't be stealthed, because there are a few people on this board who routinely do. As far as I know though, the shows they stealth are not of the security ass-raping flavor, just of the no patdown low key stealth kind. I'm just sayin, it would be a huge hassle to get it in a show where the ONLY available stealth space is your crotch. It would require really baggy pants and a favorable draw in who was administering your patdown. It can be done, no doubt, but more of a PITA than its worth to me.

Sorry to hijack the thread for a minute there, just had to get that off my chest ;-)
