Re: Advice on hardware: zoom h2 + okm2?
Do you specifically want to work in binaural? Although I don't own the
okm, I have done extensive recordings with the sound professsional
ones -

(both the bigger ones and the stealth ones) and you may at times get
issues with noise from the wind and from your own body. Microphone
placement will have a huge impact on your stereo field. If you're
planning on doing "general" soundscape recordings or interviews, I'd
have a look at the Audio-Technica AT822 (or the AT825 if you have
phantom power), a rugged, multi-purpose stereo microphone with a good
windscreen.
Here's a site with a good variety of information about recorders:
