Hi is it possible to transfer files to iPad

I linked sample in description. Also here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZugY8-m2cfLeZ8.html

That is a drawback. But with 15 hour recording time for something so small, may make sense for those that need all day recording on-the-go so that nothing is missed. Makes perfect sense for cameras without microphone inputs (ahem Sony RX100 series...) - but still have to post later. Time stamps will transfer over with the Sony windows application for the recorder.

it Work with Android Also

Jimmy a Geek good to know. Thanks

Cool, thanks for confirming that!

Yup, I would expect that to be the case, and with no external microphone jack you're more limited where you can put the unit. I've had decent results on outer shirt breast / jacket breast pocket only with clip side facing out.

Its not rated for waterproof while swimming. But the size is incredible.

What I was thinking as well. Clip it on, record the whole day as main or backup. Synch where necessary.

Fair points. The issue is the remote would be syncing data from the recorder - if done via bluetooth poorly there could be some latency. They'd have to increase power consumption on the remote, requiring a li-ion instead of button cell. I think if done, the price of the combo would increase fairly substantially or the size would have to increase. Probably better to use your expensive smartphone as a remote - it has all the power, and processing power to handle all that better.

You're welcome Dennis! I think this makes a great remote audio capture solution - can't wait to see what you might use it for if you plan on adding it as part of your KZfaq kit. I thought about getting the Tascam DR-10L ( amzn.to/2M88AJp ) instead for additional audio capture, but thats quite a bit bigger and bulkier - less versatile for placement but it does have a microphone in jack.

@@MikeMu do I need a iphone to use the remote?

@@deathmagnetic12085 There is an android app. but I have not personally tried it.

@@MikeMu I ought a mini speaker for playback. You said there isn't a mic right?

I think you meant speaker. And no, not built in.

Thanks for the comment. I was planning to have the review be short and concise, whereas this first look goes into detail. Some people really want to know (someone like myself) so these end up being longer than for your average consumer.

Yes you can. But you would need to get the audio offloaded to the iPad. There are ways, but it isn’t very slick how you would do it due to Apple’s iOS restrictions. Either use external hardware, or cloud (Dropbox, iCloud, email, etc)

Mike Mu doesn’t the Sony app have the option to record and save files in the iOS app? I don’t have the microphone so I can’t try it myself ☹️

No. I’m sorry that wasn’t made more clear in my video. The App gives you a lot of remote control options. Transferring files isn’t one of the features it has - that’s usually reserved for Wifi which it does not have.

Mike Mu that’s a shame, I will look online if I can figure something out because it looks ideal for a small GoPro Vlogging set up

Yup. I plan on using a Gnarbox ( amzn.to/2KY3oa8 ) with the iPad for editing. But I'm waiting for gen 2 to use with lumafusion. That's one way, but pricey. Another alternative is the MikMe ( amzn.to/2KYtHgm ), but its not as tiny, and definitely more fragile. That does transfer audio files via bluetooth.

David, The remote cannot be used to power on the recorder itself. It can be used to 'wake' it up though. By default the recorder unit will power off after 30 minutes of inactivity. You can adjust this to a maximum 60 minutes with no activity. Or just turn this off completely so the unit stays on indefinitely. So if you are concerned about missing a moment, just keep the unit powered on (and plugged into a USB battery pack). A small battery pack should be able to keep it in standby/sleep mode for a whole day no problem. For the remote, it is up to 2 hours for the remote to power off with no activity. But you can simply just power it back on and it will connect again. In all cases, you need to physically turn on the recorder by sliding the switch FIRST. Then if you want to record later, just power on the remote... Wait for it to connect. Wake up the unit and start recording. Does that answer your question? Mike

Hi Jessica, unfortunately these is no simple way to change a made for Japan unit to English. The firmware simply doesn't have another language Luckily there are only a few main settings, so you can line up the English manual with the settings and make it workable. Or connect to it using the app which you can use in English. If you can return it, or exchange for an English version, that'd be the way to go.

I think your issue may be that you need the adapter to hear it through headphones. There are no speakers built-in.

@@MikeMu Thank you for you quick response. I have the adapter and headphones. There's no button to push to play, only to record. Must I use the remote? I know I'm missing something obvious, I just don't know what it is. Thanks for you help.

@@merlemsinger5648 Yes, you must use the remote. Or you can remote control it with an app on your smart phone.

Yes. You can slow playback all the way down to 0.25x normal rate (or 4x slower)

Yes

Yes it does.

And to send files to computer too

Do any of them do have Bluetooth headphone

It changes. Currently it is called Sony | REC Remote.

Wtf gg troll ez

You reset the entire recorder and its the first thing the unit asks. Note if you have a Japanese version, you cannot change it to English. I have a link to the manual in the description of the video where you can see how the sequence works.
