How do you use your DVR?

Do you use an external mic? How would you use it without it showing? I have a dvr on order but not sure it will pick up conversasions if in my pocket. Thanks!

Guys often place it in a shirt pocket. Women find that bra stowage works fine and is more secure, lol. I never use the external mike.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.
I keep mine in my shirt pocket. I do have an external mic and, if I'm going to be in a noisy area, I'll use the external mic, clipped to the cuff of a shirt, with the cord running up inside the sleeve. I'm half Italian so talking with my hands is natural. I can point the mic in the direction I need to.

I bought one, decided it was more trouble than it was worth, and now I don't use it at all. I make notes on the shop folder right after the shop and that works well for me. Good luck with your recorder. Lots of shoppers use them successfully.

You must be blessed with the ability to remember a name for more than five seconds, unlike me. I couldn't shop at all without recording everything. smiling smiley I have a spy pen I stick in my bra, backed up by a small portable digital recorder in the cell phone pocket of the belt bag I use for a purse. Never know quite when those batteries are going to die, or you'll forget to delete the old files and the memory fills up in the middle of a shop so I try to run two recorders all the time. (Smart phone recorder app also works as a backup.)

In winter I have a vest with a breast pocket I would stick the spy pen into. But it's not winter any more so the cleavage gets to carry it. smiling smiley
