Battery Door Broke in MINUTES!!! I purchased this item new. Within an hour of opening the box and handling with absolute care I found that the very flimsily made plastic hook holding the battery door closed had broke off after I put the batteries in for initial use.I'm sure this unit will deliver the goods in recording ability but the build quality is subpar at best. It feels cheap and plasticky. For nearly $300 of my earnings I expect more.
Professional Recording on a budget I've worked with professional sound equipment and I have to admit that this is one of the best portable units out there! You can use the built in mics or connect external mics to it as well. The unit is easy to use and is very intuitive. For those that are just getting into audio recording this is a must have. I also use this as a secondary recording unit when I am recording from my Canon 5D Mark II. The 5D has this weird ticking sound when it is recording so I use this as an external mic. I then use FinalCut Pro with PluralEyes to sync the audio and video together.Pros Sounds quality is amazing light portable easy to use swappable memory.Cons Bulky and not ergonomic.Additions I would also consider getting the RedHead for Zoom. This is a cover that help with noise and wind.
AWESOME! Four channel dual stereo means you can record in surround sound if you really want to! How cool is that?! I can't beat it. I am not disappointed with this purchase because it does so many different things. I can record from the builtin mics AND have my shotgun mic attached to the XLR ports. This thing does it all 3.5mm or XLR. It has a port for headphones to hear it live.
Good Portable Recorder My son just bought one of these from a local music store. It has great functionality and he really appreciates the ability to overdub when he is writing songs. The Amazon price is slightly better than what he actually paid for it. I'd recommend this product as a good buy.
Excellent! I'm a professional classical musician and the zoom h4n is an excellent piece of equipment for self recording and transfers easily to hard drive for making audition CDs.
A neophyte can use this device I sent this with a friend to a foreign country. My friend is not technical received the unit a day or two prior to departure had no formal training on usage and was able to capture great audio.
Great product! This item was recommended to me by a friend who is a filmmaker.Great sound quality and very easy to use which is a huge plus for a novice like me.
AWESOME!
Vocalist Had No Trouble I'm a vocalist and wanted something I could use at home. The H4n works perfect for me during practice and using canned music at home I was able to set it up so it made decent recordings while I sang through the PA mic. I've fooled around with PA equipment for years but I know very little about recording other than singing. The instructions were easy and I can use this system with no problems. I just plug in the headphones and record and play it back. It's been great.
Zoom H4N. Documentary skateboarding interviews etc. I used the H4N a little before buying it. A friend borrowed one from his college and we did some interviews with it. I love the versatility of it and its sound quality compared to the 5D II's on board sound or any other my thats been plugged into the mic jack of my camera. I shoot a lot of documentary work skateboarding and on the fly interviews. It works well for getting quality files of those nat sounds for documentaries. makes skateboarding sound amazing compared to the on board mic on my 5D AGC always killed the audio. I'll list a few of the things I like and don't like. Overall I'm completely happy with the it and glad I bought it.PROS*With a shoe adapter it looks and functions well on a dslr*Great sound quality*XLR inputs are awesome to have*Easier and safer than hacking a dslr to get good audio*Worth every pennyCONS*Haven't been able to figure out how to get two channels out of one XLR input so I can get two channels from one lav mic and two channels from the H4N's mic.*Sucks the power out of batteries. 6 or so rechargeable batteries would be a good idea if you're shooting all day on the highest quality.
