For speech, sound effects, and live music recording applications, the TASCAM DR-05XP portable handheld recorder is capable of capturing two tracks of audio at 32-bit float high-resolution with no external microphones required. Its onboard omnidirectional condenser mics are fixed in an A-B arrangement for spacious stereo imaging of your source. Equally adept as a handheld device, stand-mounted, or camera-mounted setups, the DR-05XP can handle anything from sampling sessions and recitals to interviews and podcasts.

Can this be used to provide a mic input to a digital camera, for instance when mounted to a hotshoe?
The TASCAM DR-05XP 2-Channel 32-Bit Float Portable Audio Recorder could be used to connect a microphone through it to a digital camera. However, that will defeat the purpose of capturing the audio separately using the recorder. If the purpose is to connect a microphone directly to the camera, using a dedicated DSLR audio adapter will be a better option.

Does this unit include a field kit with a deadcat/windcover?
The TASCAM DR-05XP 2-Channel 32-Bit Float Portable Audio Recorder does not include a furry windscreen (also called a deadcat or windjammer), but there are options available. I would recommend either the Rycote Mini Windjammer for Roland R-05 and Tascam DR-05 (BH #RYMWRR05) or the TASCAM AK-DR11G MKIII Field Accessory Pack for DR Series Recorders (BH #TAAKDR11GMK3).
