A difficult topic, but in need of airing given awful, recent events.

Certainly not being paid for this. I have to say the @Sontronics podcast pro microphones are great for mobile work. Great noice reduction, lightweight and brilliant build quality. What’s more they are a British product. This is my set up for travelling to important interviews.
