So I've owned a TASCAM DR-60 for a while and MAN does it chew through the batteries, I decided to get my homemade VLock power plate sorted out so I could power my 600d and Tascam both from the same source....
I had an epic failure when I realized there was a terrible ground hum accross EVERTHING I rolled that day....
I did a search on a few fourms and realized that this is a known issue when powering from the same battery, for lots of people using Lanparte or really any Vlock system....
I couldn't really find anyone with a clear solve on this.... but I've found a product, a passive inline 3.5mm ground loop emilinator...I tried it out and it has reduced it WELL below acceptable noise floor.
Power Path:
Vlock > DC to DC 5.4v > Canon 600d
Vlock DTap > Dtap to USB 5v > Tascam
Audio Path:
Tascam Line Out > GroundLoop Eliminator > Canon 600d (Set to 1 Click above Zero)
The product in NZ is called Response AA3086:

I've included some pics, it this is helpful for anyone
