Does anyone have a suggestion for monitoring a tascam dr100 in the field? I usually put it on a table in doors. Is there a way to attach it to a belt or strap it on? It seems awkward. Thanks, Adam

Hey folks, I've been ingesting my GH13 footage using log and transfer. However, I see many tutorials where people use MPEG Streamclip. What's the difference?

Hey folks, I'm nearing the end of my search for audio gear for my dslr. Here's what I'm thinking... The Audio Technica at875r Basic Kit at B&H (Link). However, I'm thinking of leaving out the pistol grip and the bag to save a little $$. Along the same lines, I'm also wondering if folks have...

Hello, I'm looking to pair the Audio Technica 875 or 897 with a Tascam dr100 mark II. It seems that the big difference between these two mics is that the 897 can run on battery and phantom power whereas the 875 is phantom power only. However, I've read that the 897 puts out a signal that is a...

Hello, I've got a question and am looking for some advice about audio gear to match my GH13 1. Question. I've read that when an extermal mic is plugged into the mic jack on the GH1 that the internal mic is NOT disabled. Is this correct? Does the camera record both the external mic AND the on...

Hello, I'm looking at getting a dr100 or possibly the MarkII. I've read hear and there, that the HTDZ HT-81 shotgun has a hot enough output to compensate for the less than stellar pre-amps of the dr100. Now, I know this is a super cheap mic. That being said, does anyone have any experience...

I'm thinking of ordering a GH1 from B&H. I want to make sure it's one of the newer (2011) models. I called, and the person I spoke to wasn't sure. Is there anyone out there who's ordered one recently that might know if the stock that they have are the 2011 models? Thanks.

Hello DVX100 users, Remember when you were doing all your research that led you to buying your DVX? What if you were doing that research today, now that HD has come along and ruined (lol) everything? What would be your choice for the modern equivalent?
