The TASCAM DR-10SG packs problem-solving punch into a small package.The microphone does not require a cable to connect to the camera so it will work with all cameras.It fits on the shoe mount and can record to the unit for better audio.It can also be used with cameras that have a microphone jack to improve the cameras built-in audio. Combining both a purpose built shotgun microphone and a professional quality digital recorder in a single unit, the DR-10SG addresses many issues faced by today's DSLR videographer. First and foremost, the DR-10SG features an extremely directional supercardioid microphone and an integrated shock-resistant mounting foot. The dual benefits of this design include the rejection of unwanted ambient sound during filming and the avoidance of physically transmitted noise from shutter or lens mechanisms. Coupled with this is a professional quality digital recorder featuring four selectable EQ modes, audio pass-through to the camera and an on-board audio slate for synchronization during post production. As an added safeguard against unexpected volume spikes, the DR-10SG also features TASCAM's unique Dual Recording mode which automatically records a second "safety take" at a lower level. Designed to deliver excellent quality, while addressing the inherent issues of on-camera audio, the DR-10SG will prove to be a valuable tool in your audio arsenal.
