The TASCAM DR-10L Pro audio recorder with clip-on mic comes with plenty of new features, including timecode support over Bluetooth with a special adapter, plus 32-bit float internal recording.
Audio is still everything: A great picture does no good if the audio isn’t of high quality, as well. Happily, the TASCAM DR-10L Pro audio recorder is the newest version of the DR-10L and has everything you’ll need to ensure you're getting great audio for your project. What’s really cool is that it’s recording the audio standalone, and you're not just tapping into a separate recorder/mixer or direct into the camera.
You'll be able to control up to five of the DR10L Pros remotely by using the optional TASCAM AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter (connects via USB Type-A) and your phone with the Portacapture Control app (for iOS and Android). This is ideal if you're filming a scene with several actors who are mic'd up, for example, or a major live event such as a wedding.
The timecode support over Bluetooth is a game changer (with the AK-BT1), and will ensure you’re syncing your sound and picture properly. It also supports wireless timecode with Atomos’ products.
Here’s the feature list:
The TASCAM DR-10L Pro audio recorder is a nice, compact, and affordable portable mic and recorder solution, priced at $219. You also get iZotope RX Elements free with the DR-10L Pro. If you also purchase the AK-BT1, which is a no-brainer frankly, it'll set you back $39.
The recorder does have some competition, including the RØDE Wireless GO II ($299) and the Zoom F2 ($179), but if you're looking for a reliable, quality wireless audio recorder, the TASCAM DR-10L Pro definitely looks to be an option to consider.
