- How to make your own parabolic reflector for wildlife and birdsong recording! This setup uses everyday materials (a plantpot, some wood, a few screws and washers and a bungee cord) to create a parabolic reflector which can be used with your smart phone and an audio recording app. It's by no means perfect, but I have been really impressed with the results and thought I'd share a rough guide of construction process so others can give it a go too!
Blessings to all
This is wicked Ben! Love the comparisons at the end! Gonna make mine hopefully this week!
Cool build my friend. I'm looking to build one myself. Thanks for the sound comparisons.
no worries at all! thanks for the comment, and look forward to hearing how yours goes! :D
Face the mic toward the bowl
Well done, this is helpful. you’re a natural. I’ll be using a Bluetooth Mike with my phone that way it can be separated from the phone. I like your site I’m also a wildlife photographer. I’ll be following you.
That's just the inspiration I needed,now off to cobble together something,new sub 👍🏻
Thank you, I am gonna make this with a big bowl
Wow !
Simple and works
You don't have the phone at the focus point of the parabolic dish, I'm surprised this works as well as it does. I wonder how good it would work if you mount the mic at the focus.
agreed
Great build ill make one my self two
I have a eagleowl in my backyard forest so that’ll make a great song
Let me know how you get on! Be awesome to hear some recordings of an eagle owl! good luck
Hola, qué aplicación de grabación utilizaste? muchas gracias por tu video y creatividad, excelente! Saludos
Thanks with ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have a AUDIO LIMITER plugin otherwise if suddenly a loud sound comes when you are listening , it can damage one's hearing
But is it a parabola?
Maximum distance?
Hey Ben. I've made mine, but I think I've messed up. How do you listen to it in the field? There's no way to plug headphones in.?
Hello I am just wondering if you have any links to the litter pick handle. I am still yet to make a plant pot parabolic. I have had a cold. But I am still keen to make one. Any help on what to get would be great. My Dad is probably going to help me to make it. He said that we have plenty of time.
Any suggestions as to the microphone to use instead of the iPhone?
What sound recording app are you using.
use an old satellite internet dish. its a parableo
