Tascam TM-2X Review - External Microphone for DSLRs and Video Cameras / Camcorders

Описание: Buy it on Amazon - http://goo.gl/uCqldS (affiliate link)

This is a great add-on for DSLR users that are looking for better audio quality when recording video. The TM-2X draws power from the camera, so it does not need batteries or an external power source.

Audio quality is good and very directional thanks to its cardiod mics. The microphones can be adjusted up and down to find the best position for picking up your subjects, and they're on a shock mount to prevent unwanted noises while moving or handling the camera. Because the mics are so directional subjects sound best directly in front of the microphone - sound from the sides and behind will be much lower.

The included mounting bracket moves the microphone further away from the camera lens, reducing the amount of autofocus motor sounds on the final video. It doesn't eliminate those noises entirely but it does make a difference over my camera's internal microphone. A fuzzy "deadcat" is also included to cut down on wind noise when out doors.

You'll want to check first to ensure that your DSLR does have a microphone input prior to purchasing. But I am quite pleased with the performance of this microphone, especially considering it doesn't require any more form of external power. It will certainly improve the stock audio quality of your DSLR or video camera without having to add additional gear.
