MICROPHONE HAT -- hands-free recording

Step 2Layout

I started out with a scrap piece of square PVC rain gutter material. I planned to somehow mount the dictation recorder to the flat surface and make the bottom contour itself to my head.

I decided to fold up tabs at either end, which would prevent the recorder from moving lengthwise. The tabs could be used to hold it all down with a rubber band.

I had already modified some of the molded clear plastic packaging material that the recorder came in. I made it so that I could hang it around my neck. I kept the record button pushed by means of a sliding nut on a stick held down by a rubber band.

At this point, I was still trying to keep all of my options open, so the necklace string is still attached. Later, I cut it off and replaced it with a short loop of string, for hanging the microphone overhead.
