The Anabat Walkabout has my 60 day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee & extra year's warranty

Hi there,

What can I say about the Anabat Walkabout?

If you're looking for a hand-held recorder with real-time sonogram display, this is the one to get unless you'd rather have a more pocketable unit to attach to your iPhone or iPad (EM Touch) or to attach via cable to your Android phone (Baton XD).

For a hand-held unit with pretty much everything you could want (except auto-ID), the Walkabout is hard to beat. If you'd like auto-ID, then maybe the Echo Meter Touch would be a better option.

You'll get a free bat calls book or voucher worth £35 with the Walkabout: either British Bat Calls by Jon Russ, Social Calls of the Bats of Britain and Ireland by Neil Middleton et al, Bats of Britain & Europe by Christian Dietz & Andreas Kiefer, Is That a Bat? by Neil Middleton or a £35 voucher.

I want you to be 100% happy with your purchase so call me on 0333 9000 927 for advice.

Warm Regards,

Martin.

The full colour five inch LCD touchscreen displays both full spectrum and zero crossing calls in real time, enabling you to monitor and review your sonograms in the field.

Anabat Walkabout directional microphone and adaptor

The Anabat Walkabout Microphone Adaptor simply clips onto the front of the Walkabout in place of the cone attachment and connects to the External Microphone jack on the side of your Walkabout.

The adapter is designed to suit the Anabat stainless steel directional microphone and can also be used with any microphone that suits the SD1/2 range of detectors. It allows the microphone to be fitted directly to the front of the detector for hand-held use, or on an extension cable.

Example applications: areas with very high insect noise (such as the tropics), recording very high frequency bats (>150kHz), remote mounted microphone requirements, driving transects or simply more directional/precise targeting

Comment from a client:

"My bat detector microphone failed during a dawn survey and knew that I had a group of dusk surveys starting in two days time. I was not in a good place as I did not have a spare, but my equipment was less than a year old.

After my survey I contacted Martin by email and he called me back on the same day, a few hours later, after a quick nap. He told me he did not have a part in stock, but had already contacted the supplier on my behalf.

The next day I received a replacement part, free of charge and express delivered from Switzerland. I thought it was amazing, and could not believe it was resolved so quickly.

Due to Martin's exceptional service I was good to go with the surveys, and I really would like to thank Martin and Wildlife Countryside Services for making the dusk surveys happen."
