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.

An immediate win when I unboxed it and read the manual - it can be powered via USB! My only reservation was the crappy AAA battery requirement. Use a simple cheapo USB battery back up and you have juice to run this thing for days!

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2018
What I love the most about the DR-10 line is the unit’s ability to record locally to a micro SD card. I’ve looked a lot at the different on-camera shotgun microphones but almost all of them rely on the camera’s recording ability which is not usually up to par. This mic can output to the camera (useful for a backup track) while recording to its media at the same time. This doesn’t have to be the case however, so if you don’t want to record to the mSD card you can use it as a dedicated mic only.
It’s ability to record to the card also adds to the unit’s potential as a basic boom mic or, as I like to do, leave the mic recording even when the camera isn’t recording. In a multi camera scenario that just adds one more layer of audio redundancy to the project.
I have purchased all three DR-10 models and use each of them regularly. Be sure to check the others out too. Specifically he combination of this shotgun mic and the DR-10L (Lavalier) make for an instant and significant improvement to production quality on your projects.

明瞭度も雑音も、格段の違いがあります。お薦めです。
