Top Windows Screen Recorder

A must have for me when using this field recorder, the only thing missing is a screen! LED let you know when you're recording and what inputs you are using.

The sound you can record with this recorder at this price range is amazing, not only you can use it as a recorder but also as a microphone that you can use directly to your windows/mac pc with a cable. Microphone is very sensitive so I suggest you get a windscreen

Have lot of big windows and always had issues seen screen. …….. not now with Frame Well worth it. Wish we had brought before Will be better when can get BBC I player

Set up is quick and easy. Screen shows amazing picture in high definition. I would say that it really needs two people to open it fully. The top middle portion of the screen flips back a little bit. Not a distraction unless you need to view something at the very top middle 2 to 3 inches of the screen. Love the product.

Old desk top was struggling with running Win-10 32bt. Only had 4gb ram, when opening a few picture/ video apps it was wheezing and stumbling all over the place. I checked Dell support to see if two 2gb would work with two 8gb in my 7010 Opti, both they and Crucial said it would, and boy does it! Note that the max ram for 32bit Windows is only 4gb, if you upgrade ram over 4 gb you have to switch to the 64bit Windows version for the system to recognize/use the added ram. You Tube has tons of info on how. Was a Very Good investment!

I found the Visual Echoes Panning Plate to be well made with a dampened and very smooth panning movement. The panning plate and clamp attaches to a lens foot. Light enough that I hardly notice it is there with my 600mm lens. Works very nicely when placed on top of a bean bag for shooting out the window of a vehicle. If you are riding in the rear seat of a vehicle and have access to the windows on both sides, you can mount a bean bag on both windows and quickly move from the right side to the left side and be ready to shoot in a few moments. This is much faster than use of a pano head attached to the top of a bean bag and having to attach the lens foot to the clamp each time you move from one side of the vehicle to the other.

The installed card reader in my desk top PC quit working, Windows reported a hardware failure and attempts to repair or load a new driver would not work. I discovered this USB driven card reader and ordered it. The shipping and handling was lightning quick and costs were less than UPS or FedEx. I was easily able to load new software onto my 2 GB SD card which I use in a Garmin Marine GPS Chart Plotter. Problem solved!

I've been using this to store a PCM-D100 (just the recorder and a koozie I use for protection on top). The next size up (1060?) might work better to store the windjammer and maybe some earphones but this 1040 has been good for now.

Excellent small recorder for voice and singing. Added external Mike's for top professional recording.

The Olympus ME-52W Noise Cancellation Microphone adds further versatility to your Olympus Digital Recorder (A WS-321M in my case). The Microphone comes as part of a four piece kit that includes the microphone, a 1m long extension cable, a tie-clip style clothing clip and a foam wind screen that fits over the microphone. The microphone itself is hinged above the 'mic/input' jack on the top of the recorder where it can be adjusted horizontally by rotating it in the jack and vertically through using a hinge incorporated at the microphone's base. This external mic provides far superior clarity and range over the WS-321M built-in microphone! With the microphone inserted directly into the input jack it allows the user to hold the whole unit like a handle with the mic projected unimpeded out of the top. I found the mic very handy during news scrums and while taking personal notes as the risk of covering the recorder's built-in mic is eliminated. The tie-clip mic holder is useful mainly when recording a stationary subject or when recording yourself when you need your hands free. It's very straightforward to use and easy to remove the mic from it quickly. Lastly, the wind screen cap was also surprisingly useful. It really made a difference in sound clarity when recording in windy conditions and recording in a vehicle with the windows open or the top down. All in all this is a very inexpensive purchase considering the value and versatility it adds to your recorder. Really a 'must have' if you're serious about the recordings you make.
