Tascam has been making some awesome field recorders for DSLR filmmakers like the DR-60D Mark II (US$199.99) and the slimmer and more portable DR-70D (US$300). I used to own a DR-100 Mark II, which was a really nice and rugged little handy recorder with 2 x XLR inputs that served me well for quite some time until I sold it looking to upgrade to the DR-70D. Good thing I didn’t as Tascam Japan just posted about a brand new field recorder and from what it looks like a successor to the very affordable and successful DR-70D ““ the new model is called DR-701D and it includes some additional features such as HDMI in and out, as well as Timecode IN via a BNC/SDI connector, which is huge news for sound recordists and one man band filmmakers!

Tascam DR-701D Highlights:

Record 4 Channels + Stereo Mix
4x XLR/TRS Inputs with Phantom Power
Dual Built-In Omnidirectional Mics
Stereo 3.5mm EXT In For Stereo Mic
HDMI In/Out, 3.5mm Camera In/Out
Records Up to 24-Bit/192kHz
BNC In For Sync to Timecode
Mount to DSLR or Tripod
Limiter & Low-Cut Filter
Automatic Level Control Function

The DR-701D is powered by 4 x AA batteries, or an optional dedicated external battery pack (sold separately) or a Micro USB power pack. The chassis is made out of magnesium allow for light, but durable design. The slim profile of the unit has been carried over from the predecessor allowing it to sit below your camera, this providing additional stability for your rig when on a tripod or even hand held.
