Ty Ford Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I have a friend who does wedding videos and thinks one of these will help. I was concerned about drift. Has anyone used one of these enough to know how much they drift? Thanks, Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGraham045 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I used to use a R44 Pro (TC version). I didn't notice TC drift when I used it with a Lockit on Camera... As a very basic recorder for small uncomplicated shoots its fine. Not the nicest thing ever but works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Tsai Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have a R-4 Pro, and it's frames off in an hour:-P maybe the R44 has a much better clock hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Ford Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 KG, no I wouldn't expect a problem with TC. Did you ever us it w/o time code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kujbida Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Ty, I have two Tascam DR-70Ds and other than the fact that battery life is not that good, I'm very happy with them. They're less than half the cost of the Edirol that your friend is looking at. No TC but no noticeable drift either. I used it as an audio backup for convocation ceremonies last year and there was no drift after an almost 2 hr. ceremony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGraham045 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I never noticed drift. I always ran TC. But plenty of gigs never had complaints on drift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
