DR-60D MkII : It's all you need as a semi-pro videomaker

I use it as a backup external audiorecorder as a videomaker. It's perfect for semi-pro / beginner cinema or videomaker.

It's a great product in that range of price. If you can afford to invest 400+ euros, then buy something better for that price. If you have no more than 200€ buy this one eyes closed.

Pros :

- What you get for the price

- Dual monio recording with "backup track" in case of peak

- Versatility

- Can be used with batteries or plugged in, even with a powerbank!

Cons

-Handle with care. It's lots of cheap plastic, it doesn't feel very well factured, but it's still solid.

- Of course for that price, preamps are just good, not great

- You need a stand tyo use it, not very handy to une without stand (although you can still put some hooks and a belt).

- 48v phantom takes a lot of power from the 8 AA batteries
