ANNOUNCEMENT
On 21st February 2025 Apodemus became the exclusive commercial licensee of the pipistrelle family of bat acoustic devices and software, and took over all future hardware and software development. Apodemus' first pipistrelle family products will be the Apodemus Pipistrelle Mini - a handheld time-expanding / heterodyne bat detector - and the Apodemus Pippyg, a 384kHz static bat detector.
Both devices will be available directly from the Apodemus website or via their global distribution network, with an anticipated first delivery date of March 15th 2025 and an RRP of €65 inclusive of VAT.
Note that the purchase of pre-assembled and tested units from Apodemus supports a couple of important charities. Financial contributions are made to the ongoing development of the BTO Acoustic Pipeline - the world's most advanced automated bat call classifier - and to Friends of Friendless Churches, who work to conserve our built heritage and the bats that live there.
