Very compact.Insructions are very poor.The screen is tiny but ample.You really need a stand for it,but it takes a standard camera stand.A handy pouch is supplied,a wind sponge,USB lead and plug,For the price it's great.fits Easy in a gig bag.Had this a little while now.Recorded my band with it and overdubed bass and keys.Theres no way the 2 aaa batteries last 10hrs.More 2 hours.I would recomend a couple of stereo microphones if you wast a wider stereo.Somtimes I thing xy a bit tight.Also a handy feature is the delay coundown to avoid touch noise.The built in microphones work OK but the stereo width is not great.A couple of microphones are a must. Battery life is about 2 hours,if you lucky.Buttons are small and fiddley. Buy one.
