One of the most versatile pieces of equipment is the ZOOM Handy Recorder, and it’s available for checkout to K-Staters. It can record audio and video, but can be set for just audio. It runs on two AA batteries and fits in your hand, so it’s also portable.
To record, pop an SD card in the side and push the Record button. Buttons are under the viewing screen, so you can play back your media as well as delete content you don’t want.
If you want to upload from the recorder to a computer, just plug the attached USB cord into a USB drive. The only hard part about using this is providing your own batteries.
