TASCAM Micro Portable Digital Audio Recorder with Lavalier Microphone, AV recording, interview recording 24-Bit/48 kHz BWAV File Format, Black (DR-10L)

If you are running a professional video production, the Tascam DR-10L should not be your primary audio source because not monitoring your audio for the duration of an interview is highly unwise to say the least. If you are a videographer who does high end commercial type video and you want to have high quality audio, you should definitely have as many options at your disposal as possible. Namely, you should have a quality sound mixer with a boom mic. Boom audio, when engineered correctly is beneficial for so many reasons. Secondly, miking your interview subject is crucial bc you simply need crystal clear audio with little to no noise. That is why a decent wireless mic kit is crucial. All that said, let me tell you why this is such an outstanding mic option when it comes to wedding video. I have shot hundreds of weddings. It doesn’t matter how good you are, they are stressful and no one anywhere will disagree. Few aspects are as stressful when it comes to one’s audio. You are in an unfamiliar environment, you are recording audio from multiple individuals and most likely room sound/music, and you are there to shoot video so your priority is already so devoted just to that. For years, I used many wireless RF lav mic kits and varying levels of success. So many scenarios are at play. Interference from other nearby RF systems and potentially hundreds of smartphones all around you. The subject walks far enough away and the signal potentially gets lost. Perhaps worst of all, when something does go wrong, your audio is ruined bc you cannot interrupt the event to fix said issue. While most of my shoots have been successful, I can’t tell you how terrible it is scrambling and panicking that half of your shoot’s importance is in the toilet. Unexplained noise, drops in signal, it is a living nightmare. So, my recommendation for ensuring flawless audio for wedding video shoot is 2 fold: clip a DR-10L on your groom and your officiant and hit record. It is literally set and forget. Secondly, use something like a Tascam DR-40 or Zoom H6 plugged into the PA system or placed it in front of a loudspeaker. At the very least this gives you nice, clean master audio (line feed is most ideal). The nicest thing about going this route is you don’t experience any audio-related stress and you can focus entirely on your video.

This is a great unit...works well, and the sound quality is excellent. Only down side is the clip for attaching it to a belt...if that thing goes "sproing"....good luck finding it. :-)

I previously used a wireless sound set up on a film set (Saramonic Dual Wireless) and had nothing but problems. The sound would cut out with the smallest interference, the connectors had to be tweaked so that they would actually "connect," and they were bulky and heavy (each pairing requiring 4 AA batteries.) After that frustrating experience (and nightmare in post,) I decided to do some research into a much better solution. I thought about going with some Zoom H1s, but ultimately took a chance on these instead. As so many other reviewers have stated, these little units are absolutely brilliant! The sound is EXCELLENT, the battery life is phenomenal, the dual recording function is one of the main reasons I bought these, the wires on the mics are a very good length and quality, and the unit itself is so small and easy to conceal. I love everything about these mic packs. The sound quality is a huge upgrade for me, and makes everything so much easier when it comes to post-processing. I HIGHLY recommend this!

Glad I decided on getting this mic! I'm a video producer for a local production company so I work with audio for our interviews all the time. But recently I decided to create a personal documentary, and I knew I needed audio that was small, easy, dependable, and quick for on-the-fly recording. This was just that. I love its size. Very easy to slip in a pocket and carry around. The instructions and menu features are so simple, even a beginner could figure it out in minutes. I loved not having to worry about interference or switching channels. Once I check my volume settings, I can just hit record and not have to worry about anything. While I'm sure there are other mics that could do the same job, this one was perfect for any spur-of-the-moment interviews I had on the street. I've only used it a handful of times now, but so far I really am pleased.

Ya conocía este articulo, porque tenia otro igual antes de adquirir este, es muy buen producto, avalado por la marca Tascam. Es caro, pero funciona muy bien, que es lo importante, Lo recomiendo.

This little recorder is just the thing for video recording in the field when you want up-close, clear audio. I saw a YouTube video of making a gaffa-tape holder that lets you place the microphone inside your shirt or jacket, completely out of the wind. I used the technique and I got no, again - NO wind noise at all. Recording to mini-SD cards worked well. I placed the card into a standard SD card holder, which fitted perfectly into my computer’s SD card slot. The audio transferred quickly with great resolution. By using a hand-slap at the start of your recording it is easy to sync up video and remote audio tracks in your editing software. This has been a good buy indeed.

En general muy buen dispositivo, muy confiable, el sonido es de calidad. Como para grabar documental y olvidarte del tema del sonido, mientras esté bien colocado no va tener mayores problemas. El único punto en contra, es que no sé si todas o sólo la mía, la goma que protege la ranura de la memoria microSD, es muy endeble y no se asegura bien: hay de dos, o quitársela, ya que la memoria queda un 90% dentro de la ranura y parece bien asegurada; o pegarle un trocito de cinta maskin para evitar que la goma se abra en una grabación. Y si se abre en realidad no pasa nada tampoco (algunos otras radios con grabadoras no la tienen), pero si está buena la protección extra. En general muy satisfecho. Hay que entender que es una grabadora, no es un transmisor.

Très bon produit. Je les utilise très souvent. J'en ai même commandé un deuxième micro identique. Très bien pour filmer les mariages ou prestation où vous ne voulez pas vous tromper sur l'enregistrement du son. Fiable, la pile dure très longtemps, et la qualité de son est excellente.

La compre para un proyecto y la verdad que no me arrepiento, buena compra.
