first, what type of outside recording are you looking to do?
I.E, wildlife, general atmospheric, sports/action in which you are taking
part, or something else.
second, have you got any plans as to what sort of media you intend using?
I.E, analogue, digital media, (such as dat or minidisk), or digital solid
state, (such as smart phone or memory card).
when I can, I like to do wildlife recording, I generally like either my
marantz cp430 tape deck, marantz pmd650 minidisk, or hhb porterdat,
generally using a rode nt3 stereo mic, in a 20inch parabolic reflector.
the rode nt3 also has a very nice wind cover available for it, rather
distastefully called the "dead kitten" which if you are going to be using it
with out the reflector, is a good idea for outside recording.
I've also used the plextalk and Olympus recorders, which are nice for ease
of access, small size, and general convenience, but I have found lacking in
hardware controls, such as level adjustment whilst recording, and are often
limited by the size of memory card they can take, when smartphones now can
generally either take larger capacity cards, or offer more storage in
general anyway. also lately, there have been some rather nice recording
interface boxes coming out for use with iPhone or android phones, such as
the apogee duet, (iPhone only), or the iRig pro, (iPhone or android), which
offers one hardware controls, and proper xlr mic connections. another
advantage of going the smartphone rout, is that a number of the recording
apps now offer the option to upload, or share recordings as soon as they
have been made.
hope this helps.
Simon

hallo, hoping that you are having a great day.
so here we are in 2019!!
I am looking around to see about outside recording equipment, and I was
wondering if anyone on this list does outside recording, and what sort of
equipment do you use?
