Tascam has a reliable reputation in the audio industry so when I needed an audio recorder I favored the DR100 mk2 over other brands like say Zoom that have tended to be sort of cheapo equipment in that other industry. The 100mk2 had several major flaws: 1. It's form factor and construction - though great for a handheld audio recorder, it was super awkward to mount with camera hardware, wireless mic receivers, etc... on top of this it had sort of cheap feeling construction 2. It's gain attenuator switch applied to both recording channels instead of having individual controls which created all sorts of havoc working with microphones with radically different gain expectations 3. The inability to partial use of onboard mics along with external was annoying too. The reason I list these issues is because the DR-70D handles all of these problems and more. It's form factor could not be more perfect for working with other video gear. Even if you don't use the feature of screwing it into your camera's tripod attachment (which is genius btw), you can use that feature bolt the d70 into a camera strap or use the screen guards as a convenient attachment for other shoulder straps. Plus it's built tough! The 70D has very discreet controls for each recording channel. You can freely assign inputs and input gain. On top of all that, they've added combo connectors so quarter inch feeds off of a sound board don't need to be converted to xlr, there are 2 more connectors and corresponding tracks, and there are a bunch of other bells and whistles like safety track recording and stereo mapping. The onboard controls are very intuitive too. Finally, the fact that the device outputs 4 discreet audio files when you transfer files to your editor is a nice touch. The simplicity of being able to just drag and drop the files into an editor without splitting them or having to worry about pan settings and whatnot was a great piece of forethought on the engineers part. All this and it's a really inexpensive device! All this is to say that I am very impressed and Tascam is fully redeemed in my eyes. Review: My new best friend. - This thing rocks my world. I record a podcast on it. Each speaker gets a track, so people with bad mic technique are easy to fix in post without messing up everyone else's sound. I don't have to carry a laptop with me to make it work. I haven't really used the built-in mics, but they seem as good as anything else you find on recording devices. On a per-track basis, you can control gain with the knobs, a separate customizable gain boost in the menu, panning, phantom power, recording on or off (no wasting disk space and battery to record silence from empty mic ports like on the Zoom H4N), and probably more that I'm forgetting. Battery life is okay, mostly I use it plugged in. One weird quirk: powering it with third party cables may not work properly, but the one that comes in the box works fine. Switches to battery power if it comes unplugged (but don't let it jiggle in and out or it can shut off). Mic ports are super secure, in fact so secure that I worry I might damage the device if I'm not careful in unplugging mics. Build quality feels about medium-durable. I've read that the tripod/camera mounts aren't well built and can damage the device if used roughly, so I don't use them and I treat the whole thing with kid gloves. The little circle thing on the top rattles, which is bad, but I cut off a thin slice of foam from the packaging and stuck it under and now it's still and silent. The knobs are a little hard to control individually, but if you have small to medium hands you'll be fine (mine are dainty and womanish). The battery compartment is fiddly but okay. Date and time resets when you change the batteries, but all other settings are stable. Formatting time on a 32 gig card is faster than my H4N on an 8 gig card. Sound quality is excellent. Having a headphone port and a separate line out is really nice. The device confirms phantom power usage whenever it's switched on, which is great (easy to forget you turned it on for a track). For the price, there is no competition. Fancy mixer interfaces still need a separate computer to work. Nobody has it cheaper than desertcart, at least not right now. Treat it gently and accept the occasional little bump in the road, and you'll love it like you've never loved a gadget before. ## Features - Uniquely designed to provide multi-track recording in a compact package for filmmakers, television producers, advertisers, and documentarians - Four balanced XLR mic inputs with phantom power meet the requirements of production sound, from pro users to indie DSLR shooters - The compact format can be mounted either above or below a camera, and a pair of built-in microphones can capture sound on-set - The interface is designed for quick adjustment, with additional features to keep recording levels under control - The High-Quality HDDA Mic Preamps include 64dB of gain for quiet performances, and all four inputs have individual gain controls - Also included is Dual Recording mode, which records a safety copy of your audio at a lower level to prevent distorted takes - Tracks on the DR-70D are captured to SD card, SDHC or SDXC media – with cards up to 128GB supported ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00OY6718K | | Best Sellers Rank | #28,159 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #43 in Portable Studio Recorders | | Brand | Tascam | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 312 Reviews | | Digital Recording Time | 100 hours | | Format | WAV | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00043774031139 | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Headphones Jack | 3.5 millimeters | | Item Type Name | DR-70D | | Item Weight | 1.2 pounds | | Manufacturer | Tascam | | Memory Storage Capacity | 1 GB | | Mfr Part Number | DR-70D | | Microphone Form Factor | Built-In | | Microphone Operation Mode | Mono, Stereo | | Model Number | DR-70D | | Number of Batteries | 4 AA batteries required.

I used it on a shoot recently and it worked very well. It was a small shoot with talent of varied degrees of acting training. Some quiet some louder. I ran 48 volt phantom power to one mic at a time and recorded a safety track and used the low cut filter and had the screen light on constantly. The shoot took about all day. I bought a 14 dollar power supply and velcro'd that to the bottom of the recorder. It powered it all day long without issue. Never switched batteries inside the recorder once and only charged the power bank at lunch as a precaution. Menu is decent when you get the hang of it. I changed from mid setting to low setting in between takes for shots with screaming and audio was coming out clean in the phones. The recorder is small and light. I used an old gun sling strapped to the red rails on the recorder and kept it hanging around my neck and a shoulder pretty much all day. Holding the boom was the bulk of the work as the recorder is pretty light. USB power and a gun sling isn't the most pro rig I've heard of but certainly worked and worked well. For indie film productions you really can't beat these preamps. Only thing I've heard of is that the 3.5mm jack out is pretty noisy. I haven't used it myself but if you're looking for a small affordable option that will beat the hell out of in camera audio, You can't really beat the price and quality of this little recorder. I'll upgrade soon to a better recorder but only because I want to get paid for doing location sound. I assure you I'll keep this and use it as a backup though. ## Frequently Bought Together - TASCAM 4-Channel Portable Audio Recorder for Videographers, 4 Combo XLR/TRS Inputs, 2 Internal Mics, Limiter, HP Filter (DR-70D) - NEEWER NW-7000 Microphone Boom Arm, 3 Section Extendable Handheld Mic Arm with 3/8" & 3/8" to 5/8" Screw Adapter, 3ft to 8ft Adjustable Length,Auxiliary - Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone with Auray Universal Shock Mount and Windshield, XLR --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/9169556-4-channel-portable-audio-recorder-for-videographers-4-combo-xlr](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/9169556-4-channel-portable-audio-recorder-for-videographers-4-combo-xlr) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
