Recording Features

Tally Light

Microphone

Microphone

The microphone picks up the sound during a recording. It is more sensitive to sounds coming from the direction the lens is pointed.

Flying Erase Head

A separate erase head is mounted on the spinning headwheel (hence the term “flying”).

This allows you to make clean edits without the “glitches” or “rainbow noise” that may occur.

Tally Light
