Tascam DR-V1HD

The Tascam DR-V1HD is a combination of a professional HD video recorder and a linear PCM high-quality audio recorder. This innovative recorder provides great versatility with 180-degree rotating camera and stereo microphones, ideal for filming yourself as well as others.

Its layout and controls are designed to decrease any unnecessary handling noise and produce stable filming operation. Encased in a sturdy and solid structure with an ergo dynamic design, the Tascam DR-V1HD sports rotary volume control for fine-tuned and quiet input level adjustments.

The high quality microphones of the Tascam DR-V1HD are complimented perfectly by the HD camera and the unit provides three modes of operation: Movie, Audio and Photograph. That enables you to record the audio and to take photographs so that the audio can be played to a slideshow rather than a video.

With three AA batteries, you can operate the Tascam DR-V1HD for up to five hours. In Addition, the recorder features a tripod socket hole, HDMI out and external mic and line inputs.
