Thank you for your clear, concise, and easy to understand presentation. Showing the equipment such as the 3 prong cable and pointing to the inputs really makes your presentation impressive.

This was very informative, thanks for posting this!

Shout out to the birds in the background! Tweet tweet! Also really informative video! Detailed, but still too the point! :)

Best YT vid covering the Zoom mics that I've ever seen.

i am using the Audio Technica ATR2500 and i want to get the Zoom H5. Anyone can recommend if it is worth for the upgrade? will there be less noise on the Zoom H5? I have no knowledge in audio. please help.

Great video. Also really very good recording. Like the framing and naturally, the sound is very good.

Excellent video. Thank you for all the info, greatly appreciated.

Hi Shawn...Would you mind telling us what's the exact lavalier mic you're using..Thank you....Subscribed!

I didn't know Steve Buscemi did recorder reviews.

Thank You so much for the detailed review and comparisons.

Hello, i m ovi from Bangladesh, i want record hindu harinaan kirtan, is this mic. Is best for me? When kirtaniyas doing there perform in a Stage they follow a circle. They perform in all side. Centre is free for god picture / Throne,If it's good then where do I put it? please explain the backup time & sound quality? Zoom h2n is suitable for me?

Im look for a zoom H1n and this video makes my mind so clear! Thank you so much sir!

Well done video. I will be using a multiple camera shoot on a live music performance using the H6 Zoom to sync later. Do you offer any "How To" videos on setting up the H6 prior to performance? I"ll be running two tracks out of a mixer board, and using the other two tracks into external mics.

Hello , great video , which lavalier was you using In the h1?

That bird tho.

One thing to mention on the H5 and H6 is the XLR capsule dose not supply phantom power only the XLR's in the body of the recorders supply phantom power. Had an H4n Pro for a week. Startup time takes forever! So I exchanged it for the H6 instead. Very happy with it as it has analogue dials that are quicker to adjust and has 6 channels and more power 4 batteries instead of 2. If you can afford the H6 get it you won't be disappointed 👍🏻

Thank you for your review! Now I feel more comfortable buying the right zoom mic.

Is the Zoom H5 compatible with every PC or Mac digital audio interfaces? Thank You!

Fantastic review!! I am an emerging videographer with a particular interest in documentary/one-on-one interviews. I've used the H4n in the past and just recently used the H5 recorder. Loved the sound quality of them both. Looking at getting my own now. The H1 is more accessible $-wise for me at this point- would the recording quality be comparable at all to the other two, or is there a significant compromise? Wondering if it'd be worth it or not. Thanks!

Good video. I am using an H2n but hotshoe mounting it on camera and plugging output directly into camera. This gives great stereo sound and means I don't need to to sync, which seems to me the ideal option so long as the audio recorded (in my case ambient nature sounds) can be recorded on two tracks. If you need to record more tracks from others sources I can see the benefit of recording audio separately and syncing in post.

Do you know how can I use the h4n as an external mic for my Samsung phone while shooting videos?

do you think using a zoom h5 with a shot gun rode is good? i would use a xlr adapter to link each other

this was so helpful, thank you :)

Just a quick check for the H1 or now they have the H1n. Can I output the signal (using the line output) to my camera while recording audio using the XY mic to SDcard in H1? Atleast I have reference audio from XY going to my camera and a Lav audio into the H! sd card through Line-In

very helpful info. thanks!

I'm assuming you were using the H1 for the audio recorded in the video? I apologize if this was previously answered.

thanks......this video was really informative...

could any of these units be used to record audio within a college classroom? If not does zoom make and unit that can be used to record audion in a classroom setting (where the instructor might be 10 to 20 feet away)? If not zoom, which company's product might I take a look at? Thank you

Very nice explanation. Thanks

Great information, Thanks a million

Hey! Thanks for the great video! A little question: is it possible to record from both the h4n inner mic with an xlr dynamic mic simultaneously? Thanks, Anna 🙏

amazing bro thanks a lot for the explanation

Wow, I like the piano and vocal sound. wonderful! Congratulations!.

So... can you still effect the gain on the H4n Pro even though it doesn't have a dial?

That hair!! It flows

Best video I've seen on the topic. Thank you SIr.

Great video.

Nice explanation! Haircut rocks also

Swhats the mount required for a camera mount video camera

for a situation comedy/drama show (on youtube) with three people on a couch and one one a chair touching the couch, all talking for about two minutes in conversation, can we use an h5 with adapter for two more shotguns?? for clear audio?? (vs overdubs!)

Does someone know, will be the difference if I plug in Rode VideoMicPro directly in my camera or through Zoom H6. I mean Rode-Camre or Rode-Zoom-Camera, in any case all in 1 channel. Will be the difference in sound quality? If I shoot in-house videoblog. Thanks in advance.

what happened to the H2n?

I was about to buy Zoom H2n for it's five built-in mic capsules provide that could be helpful capturing ambient audio. How would you rate H2n ? Is it worth over H1?

Why no Zoom H2n? Just curious because it's what I have,

Cool I was a film maker But never used this recorders how is the h6

thanks, that was a very helpfull video v

Hi Friend, I cannot record with an external mike I got an TAKSTAR an XLR with 3.5 mil female to the mike when I press 1 the 2 also is on I follow you but not luck any IDEA? thanks ▼

is the default xy mics in all of these the same?

Must you se xlr -20bd attenuators for H4n when puging to the mixer? What do you use?

Very good job

Very informative!

Thanks that helps!

Who makes an Audio for video that can be triggered (Started) from your video or DSLR so there is not any problem of syncing.

Great video. Can one of these systems be plugged in to a computer as a USB mic? This would mainly be for online meetings where I want my audio quality better. Thank you.

Hi from England, Could you use a splitter to plug two lav mic's into the zoom H1 or would this reduce the sound quality or the impeidence of the lav mic? Great informative video. Regards, Bill.

Hi - i record small concerts with my go pro and sony cameras. Make some small movies. How do yuo think - what combination will be best for me. Inside rooms.

Very helpful! Thanks a bunch!

I am undecided between H2N / H4NPro / Shure VP83 / Azden SMX30 / RODE Stereo VideoMic shotgun. What do I need to do to use what advice? I register events, excursions, dialogues and film my children. Thank you

I like the zoom h5 and h6, but would never be using the removable microphones. It would be nice if zoom sold the recorders with a nice cover over the microphone socket, instead of the microphones. You could buy them later should the need arise.

Great video, thank You!

which recorder u had used to make this video ? its very good

thanks for he video

Surprised the keys sounded that good in mono on the H4n.

‘ye-ah, ye-ah! Dude looks like a lay-day! Ye-ah, ye-ah!’

Perfect explanation.

Glad that i watched this video just before buying Røde videomic pro plus.

For natural sound which one is the best?

ممتاز

I am super disappointed with the h1n handy. I LOVE my h4n. I mainly use these for picking up sound effects in the wild. I got the handy because I wanted something lighter for backpacking with less bells a whistles. I don't really need all the inputs and features the 4n has. However, the 4n picks things up in the distance way better than the handy. I can't hear birds or thunder at any distance with the h1. The h4 I can here everything near and far. The handy has good sound quality for close up, but it sucks for what I wanted it for, grabbing a bird song, thunder, etc. while hiking to add to my KZfaq videos.

hi, H4n pro or dr44 wl?Thanks .

Hi, great video!!! Is the H4n ok for film making? Connecting an external microphone on the H4n. I'm really looking for the best "movie sound" possible, Thank you so much for your help!! :)

Hi Many audio devices, in early days , only selling for agents. Use it as spi.

i have a zoom h4n but as a singer and acoustic player, shooting videos outside, do i need h6?

Nice explanation! I have a q tho. I have a GoPro Hero 7 camera and want to buy a mic for it ( h1 or h5). Which one fits better for time-lapses and nature film - waves and wind reduction especially.

Zoom H4n or Tascam DR-40?

H6 now only comes with the XY capsule and no case for less money but with the option not to have a rubberised plastic shell. This is good because rubberised plastic doesn’t age well. My H5 has become a sticky mess.

"What do you think you're like an authority figure? These are limits to your life man."

You should wear Herbal Essence shirt

Caution - The H1 picks up cell phone hum within 1 meter of device

This is the best review on the Zoom recorder series so far. Less techy
