I hope to see audio recorders that will record constantly since they are on and
record button will only make new file to make editing faster.

What I would like: A significant boost in pre-amp quality. Good mounting options with rig&GH2. I don't do any narrative work but it is imporant for me to be able to work comfortably as a one man band (small documentary etc)

The options I came to now: Juiced Link RA333 and into GH2 (maybe with cheap recorder later).

Tascam DR-60D. I am not sure about preamps in comparison with Roland or Marrantz for example

Roland R26 or Marrantz.

And at wich I switched the past few hours: Fostex DC-302 Bit pricey over here (800 euro) but ordering at B&H might save me some money. And I've read a lot of good stuff about it here on PV.

So my question(s) would be: Wich solution would give me the cleanest audio? Doubting about pulling the trigger on the Fostex beacuse of it's size. Saw some mounting pictures with GH2, but not a lot. Will it be comfortable working as a one man band?

The last point is why I ruled out the (here highly regarded) tascam DR680, I feel it's too big to mount on a rig.

Am I getting in the right direction here?

I used this when I had my Gh2, but have moved to a Canon C100 these days, so don't have much of a need for it. I am tempted to keep it and feed the signal into the c100 when recording audio, but i would rather have the cash free. The preamps on this are definitely better than the c100 ones.

I am selling for $785+15 shipping to CONUS/Canada. I can ship international, but please contact me beforehand so I can get a quote of how much shipping would be.

There is a fair amount of wear on the unit, the finish seems to chip fairly easily, but it is made out of a really solid metal type finish, not plastic like a zoom h4n, so this thing can take a serious beating and never flinch.

Everything is fully functional, and works like a charm. Here are some pictures of the unit:

I am personally looking for a 8-12TB max capacity storage server which performs well for both mac and pc, preferably there should be DLNA support (television access - to display material for customers).

It would be great if there was a solution to (eventually) connect locally through thunderbolt... (for editing stations) and cloud / remote access with good function would be good to have.

Basically, in an ideal world it needs to perform so well locally that it is possible to edit (without big loss of performance) material without copying.

And most important of all - it should be easy to use!

As always, it's a relation between cost and function - I've calculated a budget around 1000 euros for solving the matter (in other words - including some, if not all 8-12tb storage space..)

However, what I need should be secondary here (although I suspect some of you have similar needs) - the real question is what you use for backing up / storing files?
