    How many hands does a bat worker need?

    In 2014 I bought a Ciel Micro Trio and am still pleased with this device. Even this simple set-up requires more than two hands, if I want to use a torch & record a call at the same time. Adding an Echo Meter Touch 2 seems counterintuitive at first. To quote Peter Jones from my 2014 thread...

    Mobile batting

    Hi, this is my first post at the birdforum. For my birding, I have the Canon SX50 and am happy with it (some great threads on the SX50 at this forum, by the way ;) ). Lately I took my old DSLR out for a walk, but birding with a weight of 2.5kg around your neck is no fun. My "next" hobby may...
