	The TSG recommends the use of Ipods for general observational recording of research participants. Most people will know how to operate the camera on their smartphone, so setting up and using the iPod should be familiar and easy. Our iPods are passcode-protected, providing an extra layer of data protection in case the device gets stolen or lost.
