Frequently Asked Questions
The vacuum-sealed electronics and conformal coating provide a noticeable advantage in humid or dusty conditions, reducing the risk of internal corrosion and performance degradation.
The PG2-R is generally comfortable, but its ergonomic design may not suit everyone; consider a different grip if prolonged operation is anticipated.
The included foam and deluxe windscreens are a good start, but for windy conditions, consider a blimp-style windscreen for significantly improved performance.
