TASCAM DR-70D - FULL DEPTH REVIEW

TASCAM DR-70D REVIEW
DSLRs and small mirror less cameras are great because of their compact nature and versatility. Unfortunately most of them suffer from sub standard internal microphones and lack of audio controls and features. In many cases you need to find an external audio solution to capture professional audio.

Tascam recently relesed the DR-70D, a 4 channel compact audio recorder. The unit features two in built microphones, 4 XLR/TRS combo jacks and the ability to output via a 3.5mm mini jack to a camera. For owners of cameras such as the Canon 5D Mark III, Panasonic GH4, BMPCC and Sony a7S the DR-70D enables you to record professional quality audio externally and internally to your camera at the same time. With the ability to provide phantom power (+24v and +48V) and choose between a line or mic source the DR-70D offers a lot of versatility for users. At $299 it should meet the needs of budget conscious shooters.
