I wish I had the option to post an audio comment, that’s the only way my excitement can truly be displayed. Your video is the only one I have been waiting on and I am not at all disappointed, you gave me all the information I needed and more, so so so helpful and now I’m even happier with my purchase. Amazing detailed video. Thank you!!!!

We own the Zoom F2BT, Tascam DR10L Pro, and the Rode Wireless Pro, and got it about a month ago. The PR2 is really the very best among all of them, being able to use it with the TC-1 just makes multi-cam recording such a joy.

Hehe, Justin Porter will definitely be the first person to reach the 48 devices limit 😄
Great review btw! 👏
I love the THEOS system and can't wait for the PR-2 to also be available soon in Germany.

We need a video using this on a wedding with timecode.

[KcArmada]

Justin Porter and now you Matt. I am fully convinced to get this!

Great video!😊👍
Having standard user replaceable batteries also means that the recorder won’t die, because an internal non replaceable battery becomes faulty or is at the end of its life. I had some wireless flash triggers die on me because I wasn’t using them for a longer period of time, and then when I wanted to use them again the internal battery could no longer be charged😭😡. So an internal battery basically turns whatever it’s in into a disposable throwaway product. In my case that meant around 300 USD went down the drain.🤬

matt i would love to see a updtated video on audio sync.

I love your Justin Porter impersonation

[cisnero]

Absolutely wonderful explanation and review of the PR-2! Love the Justin comment and couldn’t agree with you more 😂

[REMY.C.]

Thanks for this review.
I've been waiting for this product since april 2023 when they first announced it.
I still have to watch practical reviews and compare it to the F3 to decide.

[RicardoZuniga]

I've been waiting this one since it was teased last year. Finally time to buy a couple of these and some TC-1s

[BrandonPeszko]

Thanks for an honest review of the monitoring features. Diety doesn’t clearly explain the inability to monitor while recording in their videos for US users. I probably would’ve bought it if it had this feature.

[dollhausenx]

Thanks for this. I like having screens on the devices and not being tied to constantly looking at my phone. And I like that their home software works on Windows unlike Tentacle. My only concern is how new it is. I should probably order one from B&H and give it a go.

[philipandrews]

you don’t need to remove the card to get the files off. Just plug it in to your computer while the pr2 is off. The drive will show up.

[MattBrandon]

Matt, can you do a video showing how to set the timecode to or from a PR-2 and a Zoom F6?

[Dano-Media]

Might be selling my Tentacle track e for this, seems like a better ecosystem to get into since it's less expensive and the Track E doesn't give you any features that the Deity doesn't already have.

[thebuhaka]

Thanks for such a detailed review! It’s really helpful!

[GeorgeGuillory]

Great video! Thanks for the information! I haven't fully committed to a system yet, and the timecode capabilities are a big win for me!

[Granfoss]

So what do you recommend for me that wants to record in 32 bit float in stereo? Im gonna record events with a stereo mic on my dslr.
