LX Nano seems the clear feature leader in the portable IGC approved
Flight recorder market and its well priced at ~US$600 on the street.
Internal battery or external powered. Bluetooth support. Available
now. That is what I'd buy.

Many USA pilots are going to gain a IGC flight recorder via their
PowerFLARM and if they have a portable model then its obviously a
portable IGC flight recorder as well (suitable for use on all FAI
badges up to and including the 3 diamonds). So another option is to
encourage use of or rent a PowerFLARM. That $500 cost of a flight
recorder helps offset around a third of the purchase price of a
PowerFLARM so something to think about.
