I don't remember if the PC9 comes with the M30 or M50,
but the M50 will record for more than an hour, and the
M70 for more than two (the M70 is the best compromise
for long run time vs. size, and the M50 is the best
for fairly long run times with small size [same size
as the M30]). The M91 is overkill, unless you are away
from power sources for long periods...
