Recorder Rendezvous: Special Pricing on Audio Recorders

B&H has an Audio Recorder special pricing event going December 11th and 12th they call Recorder Rendezvous. If you're in the market for a recorder, there appear to be some nice deals worth checking out:

Tascam DR-70D and RODE NTG2 package with all the accessories you'll need (SD card, XLR cable, 3.5mm cable, batteries) for $499.

The good old Zoom H1 can be had for $69. This is still a great option to use in lieu of wireless lavalier systems when you're on a tighter budget. This and the Countryman B6 made an impressive combination in my tests.

One little item that caught my eye that I'd like to try is the Tascam DR10X (in this package with a Senal Reporter's mic) for $199. This is a tiny audio recorder you plug onto the end of a mic and it records the audio to SD or microSD card. Could be interesting to create a "wireless" boom mic with this. (Yes, in the photo they show a RODE mic but the package actually includes a Senal mic).

B&H Deal Zone Express

B&H Photo Video, one of our kind sponsors who provide the gear for many of our reviews, have some pretty impressive deals coming up in the next week via Deal Zone Express. The way this works is that they have deep discount pricing on one item for a limited number of hours. Wednesday morning, for example, they'll have the X-Rite Color Checker Chart available for over $20 off its regular price from 9 to noon eastern time:

Might be worth checking in periodically to save big on something you've got on your list. They offered the boom pole I bought just a few weeks ago for $200 less than I paid. You win some, you lose some.

Deal Zone Express is a pretty sure way to win some.
