Tascam DR-40 recorder mod

A couple simple modifications for a portable audio recorder Tascam DR-40 show how to make a longer foot (replacement for the included one) and how to make it stand vertically.

Nice - glad to benefit from your thought time! My new used DR-40 was missing the foot. That's a very simple replacement. I was thinking of using a bicycle brake shoe insert for the actual foot (for greater stability?) Drill a hole in that to connect to your stiffened cord section.. Slip fit seems to work fine.

I use the windscreen to elevate with. Good ideas got me thinking of a few.

Hi, I was looking for a portable digital recorder for live classical music (I'm a soprano) that is also affordable. I'm a beginner and after doing some research I narrowed down the list to these devices: Tascam DR05/07/40, Roland R05/R26, Sony PCM M10, Zoom H4n/H5. Which one would you recommend? Or are any others you would recommend? Thanks!
