I would just go with one of the riggys, but I want that option of having someone boom for me when its not slaved to the camera.
With that being said, what really matters most to me is the signal to noise ratio. I've used one of the sound devices system before and thats great but out of my price range. What I'm really looking for is something BETTER than the H4n with signal to noise.
So how would you think the Dr-60d compares to the H4n and howay it compare to the h6 coming out, in regards to signal to noise? Or is there something else even better around the $300-$500 range?
Jim, take a look at Frank Glencairn's review today of the Juiced Link BMC366 mixer. It's not a recorder but can feed balanced audio into the BMCC. He also mentioned the Tascam recorder:
"... the Tascam DR-60d – that is a nifty tempting little device for the money – but they make a clicking sound on your recording every time you turn them [the volume knobs], and render the whole thing useless for recording on set. I was really close to buy a DR-60d as additional standalone recorder, but that clicking was a deal breaker."
