Wireless Backup Camera Recorder

I use this mic on a Tascam DR-05 recorder as a backup audio or when I can't use wireless. For the money it works just fine. As good as my Countrymen or Sankens? Nope but for what it is and the price, you can't go wrong.

Months later still going strong. I use as a backup recorder to my F4.

if your wireless unit fails you, this is your backup.

I can connect my audio recorder (LINE OUT) to my video camera (MIC IN) and no need to record audio unless using as a backup on the original audio recorder. Using a ZOOM H8 your able to adjust the settings and you are good to go.

This short length is very useful for on-camera mics, or wireless to recorder...etc. Good solid quality, heavy duty but flexible. Solid performer.

Makes it so easy to put my sound recorder (wireless) where I need it to connect to my camera. Would definitely to it again.

Best compact wireless recorder on the market.

I've found this recorder is much more useful than a wireless lav setup since you don't need to mess around getting a signal into your camera. On a full battery you can record all day. As a director I use a loud whistle, hanging around my neck, to signal the beginning of a scene. These spikes in volume are easy to spot in DAW or a video editing timeline.

I bought this equipment as a second wireless micro port, because I was shooting something alone and I had only one audio input on my camera. I put this recorder on the reporter and the real wireless micro port (which I could listen constantly) on the protagonist. I would recommend this tool for everyone, who needs to work quickly, doesn't have a sound person around and doesn't want additional tools, like xlr extension on the camera or an audio recorder. This is not the cheapest solution, I almost went for the smartlav, but this thing looks a way more reliable and higher quality tool.

I'm using this with a DJI Mic Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder for Camera & Smartphone. They work great together.
