    Doesn’t work with a Rode Smart Lav mic. Such a bummer that it doesn’t record it’s just static when the mic is plugged in. You have to use the cheapy Sony one which is way worse quality when filming fitness class audio or interviews.

    I had one just like this 1 year ago, or so I thought, meaning that much has changed. What was metal on the recorder 1 year ago is plastic on this one. I do not like the way it records much. However, it met the price point or budget so I purchased it again. I needed it because I misplaced my old one.

    Even on the low setting the file size is still too big for what I need it for.
