Bringing Handheld Recorders Into The Field

Handheld Recorders In The Field

We at Campbell Cameras understand how the money that you invest in good video equipment can rack up real fast. If you are looking to mic up the cameraman and the hunter that will require dual channel wireless microphones that start around $700. Not to mention that if you have wireless microphones hooked to your camcorder, it will turn off the on-board microphone (except the Canon XHA1-s), that means you will have to buy a shotgun microphone to pick up the ambient noise. We have come up with a cost-effective audio solutions for those who are looking to mic up more hunters, spot & stalk hunters, waterfowl hunters, and any other situations that separate the cameraman and hunter. The solution is Professional Quality Handheld Audio Recorders starting at $86.

So how do you transform these handheld audio recorders into something that you can use? The Gorillapod.
Gorillapod Original with the Tascam DR-05
The Gorillapod has flexible, wrappable legs allow you to secure your portable handheld recorder, compact digital camera or mini video camera to virtually any surface.


Tascam DR-05  2 Channel Price: $99.00
TASCAM’s DR-05 brings high-quality stereo recording to an easy-to-use portable powerhouse with a size and price that anyone can handle. The DR-05 records in MP3 or WAV format – including 96kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio – to microSD or microSDHC media. A pair of all-new microphones handles up to 125dB SPL with the sensitivity to capture every detail. With new recording features like Peak Reduction and Quick Menu, the DR-05 puts film-quality recording in the palm of your hand.
What You can do with the Tascam DR-05:
• Attach it to a Gorillapod and use it as a mini tripod or wrap it around a tree limb to capture audio.
• Attach it to the shoe of your video camera or DSLR
• Add another microphone via the mini plug port. This includes adding a wireless microphone.
Example: Hunter and Cameraman are in different tree stands. You can capture the audio from the video camera and cameraman via the camcorder's microphone. Set the Tascam DR-05 on a Gorillapod around a tree limb, add the external wireless microphone and you can capture the audio of the hunter without being connected to the cameraman.
