Brad Hurley wrote:My solution for audio recording is to have a separate tripod with a small-but-great M/S microphone rig mounted on top (Sennheiser 8050 for the mid mic and Ambient Emesser for the side mic), which fits into a very small Rycote blimp for wind protection.

OK - So your audio solution is blowing my mind a bit as I have not seen anything like that in practice and now I have something that I need to talk to my audio buddy about next time I see him for beers... I am wondering if you happen to have (or could possibly take) a pic of your rig?

Brad Hurley wrote:The classic M/S rig for field recording is the Sennheiser MKH40 cardioid and the MKH30 figure 8, which would actually be your ideal setup for Sri Lanka as those mics don't mind high humidity environments, but that's going to be a bit bulkier and more expensive.

Thanks so much for sharing that Brad! Very interesting you have given me a lot to think about for sure. Audio has always been my most troubling blind spot in my "one man band abroad" exploits... I keep on promising myself that once I have a bit of money I will actually take a week off from life and pay a local location sound guy to get me up to speed... but that has yet to happen.
