An excellent value. Important if you are not going to be holding your R09 during recording. People in the room will also be less likely to knock it over because it will be on a tripod. Sits on top of pianos, or on the floor. Rubber grips on the legs prevent accidental sliding. Very compact, a nice color as well. Easy to use. Overall, its great. It does what a case and stand should do. Also, they don't sell anything else that I'm aware of that will protect and elevate your R09.

Features
Its very easy to use, and it saves you from having to place the R09 on hard surfaces. The case does not protect the screen or allow for easy access to SD card and battery compartment, yet it doesn't adversely affect the product because it is designed for protecting the product during field recording. The stand also allows you to prop the recorder up so you can easily see how much time elapsed/time remains during recording. The set up is intuitive and very easy to use.

Ease of Use
Extremely easy to use. The manual clearly shows how to use the product. Also, it is easy collapsible, and it is very compact. The legs can be retracted for storage, and it really is nice to be able to prop the recorder on the floor with this device. You can also use it to hold the R09 like a microphone during interviews. Its very compact, and it protects most of the R09 case.… read more

Quality
Leather case is of good quality, and it fits the device well. The legs appear , to be sturdy, yet the lever used to rotate the device is a polymer, and it could break. You should exercise care with the product, yet I have had no problems, and it is better than I expected when I have used this product. You can actually use the packaging box to store the R09 and stand. Just slip the R09 into the case and put it back in the box in the slot that was used to package the case.

Value
A little pricey, but it is a must have accessory for the R09.

Manufacturer Support
I can't really say. But the product is self explanatory to use.

The Wow Factor
Very stylish and bug-like. Its extremely practical, and it keeps the R09 away from hard/rough surfaces that could potentially damage the device.
