Yep a very basic question with a very basic answer <smile>, use an
external microphone with your Dm4 which can be attached to something
perminantly as you move.
I use several different external microphones for different applications
and one of my favourites is one which can clip onto my shirt pocket,
collar or lapel.
So once the microphone is affixed I have access to the Olympus recorder
in my trouser pocket if so desired.
Another way to go is to get the DM7 and use the Audio Controller App -
naturally this will depend on whether you have an IOS or Android device
at your disposal. -
Anyway the whole idea of this App is that you control the Olympus
recorder from the mobile device using Wi-Fi, that's just part of what
the App has to offer and I won't go into the rest of it here as it
really won't help the discussion at hand.

All,
This is a rather basic question, but I haven't been able to find a
good solution. When using a digital recorder to record an environment,
sometimes I need to move around while doing so. Holding the recorder
in one hand is not always the best way to do it. Furthermore,
sometimes I need to move the recorder just slightly for various
reasons. When doing so with an internal microphone, the recorder will
catch the touch of my hand on the device; the pickup of the sound is
quite noticeable. Unfortunately the recorder i am using (Olympus DM-4)
has a tiny carrying case, but it can't readily be attached to anything
and it obscures all of the buttons.
Any suggestions anyone has would be much appreciated.
