First Thoughts on the Tascam DR-701D Field Recorder - Sam Mallery

sam-mallery.com

Tascam's DR-701D field recorder is a solid choice for independent videographers and small crews, thanks to its high-quality preamps and innovative HDMI sync ports. These features streamline audio-video workflows, making it a practical tool for DSLR video shooters. However, its menu-heavy interface can be cumbersome, and while it offers six tracks, it only accepts four inputs, which might limit some users. The magnesium-alloy chassis is a nice upgrade, though the battery door remains a weak point. Overall, it’s a capable device, but not without its quirks. If you're not deterred by its menu navigation, it might just fit your needs.
