I have had evil thoughts on using one of these in place of the microphone in a parabolic reflector, but never tried it. Windjammers are very small for the built in mics, I imagine the performance differences between the ones made for this can't be that great and it may be just getting whatever you can find. I know one of the ones I own was made by a company called Gutmann.

Most shotgun mics are designed for close up work, this may sound counter intuitive, but the Olympus ones are great for dictating in a noisy office environment or getting a clear recording of someone presenting. They reject the extraneous noise around them. Bigger shotguns can be seen used by news soundmen for the same reason getting a clear recording of someone being interviewed with minimal crowd noise and again inside a 'film' studio. Businesses handling meat must have a traceability system. The exact form of the system varies, depending on the activity of the business, but it will be based on a set of continually updated records, which you can keep either manually or on computer. It may well include other documentation, such as delivery notes or receipts. The principle of a traceability system is that for each intake of beef or veal into your business, you must make a record that shows: This cookie stores user-like settings for the chat system provider, which are required for our online chat service. Trusted Shops They are set up much as a point and shoot camera, if I feel that I will spend time doing a lot of menu accessing I use something bigger.information about where you got the meat from, including the reference number or code on the label (eg the kill number of an animal at an abattoir or the batch number of a batch of meat supplied by a cutting plant) the reference number or code you put on the label, if it’s different to the supplier’s number or code (eg if you combine meat from different sources under the rules for batching) My way of using them is to clamp them on to something solid and leave them in situ. For this I use small clamps, rubber bands etc. The battery life is fine for my uses and I tend to return after two hours or so and find plenty of life left for further use, in fact I rarely worry about power with several sessions in one day.

for animals under 12 months, date of birth and/or carcase category identification letter (V for animals aged less than 8 months, Z for animals aged from 8 months to less than 12 months) Directionality and increase of faint bird calls with a parabolic dish is MUCH more efficient than with any setup I used before. The zoom feature on the LS-P4 is quite similar in performance to some office type shotguns, it excludes peripheral sound. When recording anything a long way away the sound gets fainter over distance (inverse square law anyone?), which means that less sound is there to record so ther poor old pre-amps get a bashing and generate noise. Compared to those super crisp and almost noise-free recordings known from bird song media.. I felt that I didn't choose the very best way to get there.

About a year ago I also had to choose the right gear for recording faint bird calls from a distance.

Also, if you can get a mic with a good high pass filter that can help a lot too as you can cut off under 100Hz or 80Hz. That helps get rid of wind and some automobile sounds. Most bird calls are 1kHz - 8kHz. Even if You connect it directly to your smartphone (plug-in-power plus a good recording app required) the parabolic dish delivers better bird sounds than my 3.000+ shotgun setup. Especially when I tried to get faint bird calls the results were anything but a satisfactory solution. Poor signal - too much noise. I had no idea how to improve that but getting better gear with a much better signal/noise ratio. The other information required for your traceability system will depend on the nature of your business. You could also record some or all of the following:Your traceability control systems may need to accommodate the requirements of other schemes and standards for which you are enrolled, such as those for:

Be aware that to attach them to a standard tripod screw they supply a very small plastic screw in adaptor, I am amazed that I havn't managed to lose one. The ME31 has a sensitivity of -31dB (I assume relative to 1 V/Pa), which is the same as 15 mV/Pa. Compare that to the ME66 at 50 mV/Pa. Not even close. The Rode videomic pro, for example, is -34dB sensitivity, or 8dB less sensitive, which is about 1/7th the power or 1/3 the amplitude of the ME66. Also its noise floor is 14dB, or over twice the noise power. Electric vehicles (EVs) are really starting to take off in Britain. Between 2021 and 2022, EV sales increased by 40.1%. Despite their popularity, though, electric cars are still more expensive...

You want a completely silent lens. Many lenses are quiet, but when you have the ME66 on your camera, you will hear them, even though it is not in the "direction". You need a silent lens or use an off-camera mount or a T rail from the camera to mount the mic on.
