This little device is great for most applications. Recording via the built-in microphones is easy and intuitive. Menu navigation is a bit of a nightmare, but after a bit of trial and error, most can be solved. The main problem I have is that I can't connect an external microphone to work. I've tried three mics including the one that comes with the unit, tried all of the recordings from the mic, phone and line-in settings, but whenever I try to record an external mic from them (my main reason for buying this Rekorders), I don't get what I don't get. There is no movement or recording. I get better shots from my phone which is why I bought this one. Excellent recording quality but not currently with an external mic. The size is big, the build quality has been solid so far, and while the manuals are confusing at best, the printed buttons make it easy to work with. Behind. If only he would do what I wanted. Edit: A few hours after posting this review, Evistr contacted me to help me resolve my issue. Not only did they ask me questions to solve the problem, but they also sent me a personalized troubleshooting video to get the external microphone working, as well as an image showing the type of microphone that would work with this device. It looks like there was a small user error and I used a 4-way mic jack instead of a 3-way jack. Evistr's commitment to the customer is top notch and I couldn't ask for anything better when troubleshooting doesn't work. offered to exchange the device. I'm glad I didn't have to take that step, but knowing it was offered was reassuring. Thank you Evistr for supporting your product and making my experience a positive one.
