The Tascam TM2X XY Dual Capsule Camera Mic – 3.5mm Termination is New Delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.
Digital camera video quality is pretty good. Unfortunately the microphones on a lot of cameras don't handle music very well. Using a separate microphone is a great option but then you either need to hold it or setup a separate mic stand and cables and possibly a preamp and…. etc etc.
The Tascam TM2X is a better choice for mobile recording, it's got two directional condenser mics which are the same mics used in the DR-series recorders. The X-Y pattern and two mic capsules are ideal for capturing your work, whether it's sound from a wide area or directly in front of the camera.
Here's what Tascam have to say about this mic
When capturing video using changeable auto-focus lenses, the sounds produced from the lens itself can disrupt and interfere with recordings. In situations where this noise is a problem, you can reduce the interruptions by using the included noise isolation arm. The noise isolation arm physically increases the distance from the noise source to reduce its capture. The structure of the arm, including its length and height, was developed through extensive testing.
