Fellow birders, (and with permission from the moderator), Last weekend I
sent out the following to another listserv: "I've lost interest in
recording birds to concentrate more on bird photography, so am planning on
selling my recording gear, which includes among other things a Tascam
recorder, Wildtronics parabolic mic, and Wildtronics parabolic reflector
(or parabola)." I've received a lot of interest, but the gear is still
available. Let me provide more detail, which may help.
I live in Chesapeake, VA.
The gear is basically like-new and has always been carefully stored when
not in use. It is also light, portable, and easy to carry into the field.
I have a Wildtronics Pro Mini Parabolic Kit, which among other things
includes an 11.5" clear polycarbonate (very important—so you can see your
target through it) parabolic reflector, and an omnidirectional w/built in
preamp Wildtronics Amplified Omni Microphone and windscreen. I also have
(and use with the above) a Tascam DR-05 handheld digital audio recorder, a
DigitalFoto extension pole to place the gear higher and closer when
needed, and new, professional headphones (to replace the ones you'll see in
the blog photo).
Some of you have read my bird blogs. I no longer blog but may restart. I
miss writing as well as teaching. Please take a look at this older blog post
<https://birdpartner.com/2019/03/20/meanwhile-the-wild-geese/>, as well as this
one
<https://birdpartner.com/2019/06/28/bird-photos-and-photo-tips-at-midyear/> and this one
<https://birdpartner.com/2019/07/05/more-midyear-bird-photos-and-photo-tips/>.
I bring up my gear toward the end of each. There's also a photo of me using
it and several recordings. Talk about a clear signal and one you'd be hard
pressed to get using a shotgun mic or smartphone.
Incidentally, Wildtronics LLC recommends the kit I use, and the Cornell Lab
of Ornithology has put its stamp of approval on Wildtronics gear. You'll
learn about that in one of the posts.
I'm asking $499 for everything, but the price is negotiable. As I told
someone else, I want to find the equipment a good home and in hopes that
someone else will enjoy using it to make contributions to our
knowledge about birds. Best,
Dave Gibson
