I would love to see a Timecode-related breakdown using these recorders! I knew going into it that it was an Atomos integration for TC, but I wasn't quite ready to implement it with my style of videos. That said, I have 4 of these (I've had 3 OG versions for about 3 years) and experimented a bit last year with a couple weddings sans timecode, using the audio primarily for sound bites (used the newer AI search stuff in post to find things) as well as mixing for speeches, ceremony, etc. I can concur that battery life is great with alkalines, but maybe not as good with rechargeable Eneloops. I forget the runtimes, but alkaline was longer, and there was still battery in the tank after about 8 hours of recording for each. The level monitoring is super handy as well as remote controlling. It was nice to have to turn off recording for, say, dinnertime, and other times where recording wasn't necessary without people knowing it or needing to make it a thing and interrupt them. Obviously, BT range can be a limiting factor for this, I just try to cut out unnecessary audio and perhaps save some battery. That's just how I've used it and it's worked fine. Form factor is excellent and you can hide it really easily on anybody. To your question, Justin, about audio quality between the mics. I find the Sanken to maybe be a tad richer, but it also sounds a bit boosted compared to the stock mic, so I don't know if those things correlate. I've used the stock mics and they've been totally fine for my use case. Anywayyyy, these are great "set it and forget it" type recorders. I've only ever used this line of product for on-person recording, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but they've been bulletproof through many weddings and I've never had any issues.
Oh thank for for the support first off. Yes I agree with everything you said. If you implement timecode from atomos, it’s worth it. It works with the atomos connect too for the ninja 5. It’s a simpler way to use timecode with limitations but nonetheless, it’s a great little recorder.
I'd love to upgrade to the pro for its timecode capabilities, but i'm turned off by having to buy the Atomos equipment. Currently deciding between the tentacle syncs and deity
Justin, I think everyone would love a break down between the Tascam, Tentacle and Rode and how they compare with each other for wedding filmmakers. PS: Deity released a similar product.
Hey Justin! I’m a solo filmmaker who mainly shot commercials and have now entered the realm of wedding films. Would you recommend the komodo-x for a solo scooter? And do you preffer it over the fx6 or C70? I’m currently using the R5C
This is one of the best technical breakdowns of this device I’ve seen. I’m comparing this to the DJI mic 2. Both do 32 bit float and I don’t really need the wireless functionality of the DJI but comparing performance and size. Do you have any experience with the DJI?
Hey Justin, do you have any videos to explain how to keep a lapel mic from falling down off a grooms shirt? My audio files from a wedding sounds very muffled.
He has an audio gear for wedding video deep dive here on the channel where he covers some kind of locking sticky onto the clothing, seemed to work well. I’d look at that video and skip ahead to the portion you need
WARNING about this mic!! I bought 2, and I used rechargeable FRESH batteries and then when I turn them off and the next day during a wedding the date and time reset and I dont have time to put the date and time again because im in a rush this can happen even when I JUST set the time again seconds before and turned it off and on again. this needs an update ASAP if they fixed this it would be perfect for me but for now I cant buy a third one
ah man, that sucks that that happened to you. I ran 4 of these last year and never had that issue; that's a bit weird. I doubt this would be a factor, but did you choose the battery type in the settings to match the battery type you used? afaik, it's just used for accuracy on the battery level indicator, but maybe there's some weird things happening related to that setting?
I have 4 of these and 3 out of the 4 do this, its so annoying! I have read that it's because the internal battery isn't holding charge but i don't get why. Brand new batteries the night before, set date and time, turn it on the next day at an event and it wants me to add the date and time which I usually don't have time at that point. The old non-pros never did this.
dude. Tell Deity to release the PR2
Pleaassseeeeeee
PLEEEEAAASSEEEEE.... Like C'mon man... That would be the one for me.

Tentacles are nice. Just got one last week and I’ve been missing out
@@JustinPorterMedia Nice! What have you been missing out on? I'm also considering the tentacles & deity's.
Now you know damn well we want a dedicated workflow video about these babies. 😂😂😂
Hahaha had to ask for confirmation 😂😂😂💀

Yes. I’m already on it. Going to be a great in depth video.
@@JustinPorterMedia can't wait👍🏽😁
Is it good for film production? I’ve seen mostly wedding filmmakers review the DR-10L Pro’s
they are good for sure. I just think timecode recorders make more sense and this one is sort of that.

I subscribed
any thoughts about the undervoltage of lavalier mics?
The “moving on” got me 😂
😂😂😂 it was all me being goofy and I just kept it in lol.
Thanks Zoom f2 vs Tasc DR10L pro?

@@gavinfulton1361 yes! I matched the battery I used! and used different brands of batteries too

@@tincus01 that’s exactly exactly my situation, this needs to be fixedddddd
I think the black wall behind you is moving but I think its just me
Man a bad mask haha. Thanks for letting me know. Not sure how I didn’t catch that. 😢
@@JustinPorterMedia happens to the best of us boss
first. does this thing record in stereo?
I believe so actually. I have to double check but I think it does.
@@JustinPorterMediadid you manage to double check ? 😂
Mono only
