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

I am a wedding videographer and Im a big fan of these. They've survived many many drunk wedding guests, drops, spills and more. I was never the type to trust auto leveling features but I tried it and it has never let me down. The dual recording featuresare a must have. They can record for ages without needing more batteries or more storage. Best audio quality in my kit. I have both the newer versions and the older ones and they both just work great 100% of the time. Just surprisingly reliable.

Way smaller than I expected, which was a good thing!Makes all my audio needs a breeze!

This device is a brillant piece of gear? It is my main sound device when it comes to weddings or other events. You turn it on and leave it. thanks to the limiter and auto level, it will record all detailed sound thanks to their very good quality cavalier mic which comes along.I've got 2 of these and they are my trustee sound recorders.

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.

I bought 2 of these a little more than a year ago and have been using them every week since. The audio quality is great and the battery usage is amazing! I did a lot of research before buying (as I do with all my equipment) and I read the user manual so I know the ins-and-outs of the equipment.Since the audio data gets picked up in the mic and recorded in the mic pack, they are amazingly convenient! I have mine set up to limit, auto-adjust the levels and record an additional track at -6dB to ensure I always have a non-peaking track of usable audio. It's fantastic! So I do a sound check before recording, then I start them up and let them do their thing.The ONLY downside with these are that the audio drifts over time. It's pretty noticeable if you are using 2 at once. If you have everything sync'd up at the start of your video they will slowly drift and de-sync themselves over time. The longer the video- the worse it gets.I conducted multiple 30-minute audio/visual tests to see how bad the two devices drifted from one another and not only did they both drift from the camera body audio but one of the LAVs I bought drifts TWICE as much as the other. On average, it is about 8 minutes into a video when my on-screen-personalities begin to have a robotic echo.I tried a multitude of things to try to solve the problem including trying out multiple microSD cards in hopes that the device would be able to write data on certain cards faster and therefore negate the problem and it did help, but it did not solve the problem.After contacting Tascam, I was told the drift is because the mics are not connected to a singular external recording device that has a calibrated timer on it which would regulate both the devices- that since the 2 devices are running independently, the timers are not going to line up while recording and therefore the audio will not line up perfectly. This is due to there being "no way to calibrate the timers to match perfectly without it being connected to another device," I'm not sure how true this is but that is what I was told.To solve the problem, it basically means slating A LOT during recording so you can re-sync the piece multiple times. They really shine when the you're recording in short bursts.They are not impossible to use for longer-form content (and I'd imagine they're very convenient for weddings) but just know this will be your primary headache when using them. I still recommend them, but I never leave out the warning!

Have used for two weddings. Worked great. Almost no noise
