I later bought the remote control and Highly recommend it as well

I like the input controls that let me change the gain to negotiate that sweet spot between achieving maximum clarity, filtering out ambient noise and keeping the sound floor low.

The controls and display are extremely intuitive, and make it easy for me to set up and use this recorder

It seems like a it will handle a little bit of punishment and certainly does have solid feeling controls

Works great, easy controls, and great battery life
