Excellent system! Of all the yester-year gear this is one of those gems that holds value. But would i but it again? Not with the Deity PR2 on the loose.

Excellent product for its price point. I may upgrade to a better mic later, but the recorder itself is fantastic as a primary or a back-up lavalier recorder with dual track recording for safety (main reason i got this) and an excellent system to save long recordings into multiple files.

I use the mics for everything. They have a good range of settings that perfect tailor to your needs. Great for weddings, interviews, and other vocal demanding projects. They are pretty hot, so I would suggest getting a muffle for them if you are to do anything outdoor.

If you film video, this is on of the best recorders out there. I use it for Youtube videos as well as weddings. I used to hook myself up to my DSLR or camcorder with a lav mic when I filmed videos on the water. This is way easier. You can stick it in a pocket, run the mic up your shirt, and turn it on. The sound quality is excellent and I should have bought one of these long ago. It's well worth the money.

This little recorder was fantastic for my doc shoot! It auto-adjusts levels, and I was impressed with how good the sound was even when the subject was walking around, or there were other ambient sounds. Good value.

Worked really well. Audio sounded great! Very simple to use after watching a short how to video. I would love to buy one or 2 more. I used it to mic the groom at a wedding.

These little recorders are a great alternative (or substitute) for wireless systems if you need to capture quality audio for your films.

I think the audio quality on this recorder isn't any better than what you will get from the Zoom H1. The build quality is very similar as well. But I suspect this recorder can survive a drop or two while the Zoom H1 will not considering the H1's size and those on-board microphones. I also prefer the arrangement and feedback of the buttons on this recorder over the H1. There's just the right amount of stiffness and click. With the H1, operating the buttons felt like a task in itself. On the DR-10L, it's unobtrusive except for the record button or switch or slider and that is for a good reason. On the inside this thing definitely scores a couple points more over the H1 with features like dual recording, limiter and some more. Ultimately, the only distinctive feature of the Zoom H1 is that pair of X/Y stereo mics. Maybe it's useful for you and in that case definitely go for it. But I think with a little more nominal expenses on accessories, you can plug in any mic into the DR-10L and be good to go.

I have a video review where you can hear the DR-10L vs a RODE NTG series shotgun and ZOOM audio recorder. Both professional voice and regular on this link. Overall, very nice device. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ6Gz9SRu3g

I anxiously waited for the release of the DR-10L and bought it right away when it became available. As I'd hoped, this is an almost perfect solution for capturing clean sound for videos where one cannot go directly into the camera with a microphone. However, I was a bit surprised by the not-so-crisp lav microphone. I've not worked with it enough to be able to set up the perfect equalization. But, natively, it does not measure up to my other lav microphones. It's adequate; but, could be brighter. I intend to test other microphones with the recorder, which seems to perform completely as expected,

Capture Audio where it Happens - No Cables, No Wireless, No Worries
Videographer Tested. Bride Approved
The TASCAM DR-10LW is an ultra-compact, incredibly convenient digital recorder/lavalier microphone combo. For added flexibility, the included wired lavalier microphone is affixed via a 1/8" screw-down lock connector compatible with most Sennheiser lavalier mics and mics with the same connector. Designed for both the creative filmmaker and the busy videographer, the DR-10LW is an immensely powerful problem-solving tool, delivering professional Sonics and revolutionary convenience.
Ideal for location recording, a DR-10LW can be mounted to each on camera actor, removing the need for booms, wires or expensive (an unpredictable) wireless systems. Perfect or live events, a DR-10L can be worn by each and every member of even the biggest wedding party to ensure that every last word is captured. And lastly, the combination of a portable, high quality digital recorder and a tiny, professionally spec'd microphone makes the DR-10LW an inspiring tool for the experimental audio designer.
Stealth Fighter
Building on the success of the DR-10X and the DR-10SG, the DR-10LW marries the industry standard TASCAM portable mini-recorder with a high performance lavalier mic. Easy-to-use - and easy-to-wear - the DR-10LW can become your secret weapon in the war against poor production audio.
Dual Recording Records Two Files Simultaneously at Different Levels
Film-makers and videographers often experience sudden audio volume jumps during filming. An actor could decide to scream a line and a documentary subject could do almost anything. Designed to be used as a self-contained remote recording device, the DR-10LW is well prepared to deal with these scenarios. The DR-10LW has several features to prevent distorted audio, but the most secure is Dual Recording. This feature captures a copy of your signal at a lower level, as a safety track in case of distortion.
Automatic File Closing Saves File Data Before the Battery Runs Out
You can always monitor the battery level on the easy-to-read OLED display. If the battery runs out in the middle of a recording, the unit will automatically save the file before turning off so your take isn't lost. And the case is designed so that batteries can be changed quickly, without removing the recorder from the belt clip.
Automatic Level, Limiter and Other Functions Solve Common Recording Level Problems
If the input sound level is too low or too high, an automatic level function can increase or decrease the recording volume to an appropriate level. The limiter prevents distortion caused by sudden input overloads. These functions save you from worrying about recording level settings in situations when there is no second chance.
Compact and Lightweight Body that is Only 63g, including Battery
The DR-10LW has been designed to be small, light and easy to conceal. Perfect for on-camera talent, documentary subjects or entire wedding parties, the DR-10LW can easily be hidden away and so that nothing comes between you and the perfect shot (with perfect audio!).
Operates for Up to 10 Hours Continuously on a Single Alkaline AAA Battery
One easily obtained Alkaline AAA battery powers the DR-10LW for up to 10 hours continuously. The DR-10LW can also use disposable lithium or rechargeable NiMH batteries.
