I am a monitor engineer (live gigs) but a newbie in broadcasting and film recording. I want to know what is the best recorder boom operator for about 1000/1200$ like fostex fr2. If you have any tips for me i will be glad!

Thanx

I apologize for the delay in responding, and thank you for posting, Tiziano. Your live sound experience will help a lot on set. Today in that price range, compact recorders from Zoom, Tascam and Sound Devices (MixPre series) are popular with boom operators and sound mixers.

Look for good preamps, 32-bit float recording (which makes clipping much less likely), timecode if you need it, and XLR inputs. Our Sound forum is a great place to compare.
