A film maker on KZfaq that has actually made films..? Subscribed..

Was gonna like this video, but apparently I've liked it already.

A tip about the zoom h1(n) is that you can get an Y-cable splitter (1stereo to 2 mono) for you lavalier mics. since those usually deliver mono sound you can have one mic for left channel and another on the right channel . Then in post production you can mix them together. This way you get away with only one zoom h1(n) for two actors if they are "close" to eachothers in relation to the zoom mic. Its a trick I got from a podcaster.

Man the part where you showed all the ways you can use this single mic blew my mind.

I've been watching video review after video review about various audio recording and capture products for the last few hours and this is one of the best. Short, but packed with tons and tons of valuable information. Incredibly concise, yet leaving me with no questions. Really good job!

I picked up a zoom h1 for 55 bucks on ebay. One of my best purchases so far

Loving the H1N! I bought it earlier this year (thanks tax return) and I've been using it on and off for a while. I'm new to using these kinds of recorders but I must say it's easy to get around! And I must say that I'm a huge fan of the quality of sound it produces! Definitely worth the money if you're in the market of buying one!

I have the h4n. Works fine for me! Interesting fact about mine is I got it used and the sd card it came with (though it was formatted) said property of abc studios. Kinda cool owning something once used by a real studio

If you are looking into buying Zoom H1n to use with a lavalier do not buy it. Audio dial on top can't be locked (only function that can't be locked) so if you toss it into someone's pocket chances are levels will accidentally change ruining the video.

That was my first one too and yes, I'm getting the H1n too. In fact the Zoom h1 was been my mic for at least two features. I have H4n too.

Man, I love the videos you are making! So useful to the other filmmakers! THANK YOU!!!! Greatings from Bulgaria!

Had mine for a while. Use it to record other bands when I'm out clubbing. It's excellent! Recorded my band with a mic stand 3 feet in front of the stage. Great results! I couldn't be happier. The battery door fell off a while ago, but the batteries are a snug fit, so no worries.

Sir, I think I have a love for buying small bags at local thrift stores to deal with the insanity. I bought a GPS bag that works excellent for this. Thrift for the win. I've also used Zoom H1 for years now with zero issues. Their customer service also replaced broken/missing parts on my Zoom H1 AFTER it was discontinued. For the reasons you've mentioned and the customer service, I always recommend their products. Years later and I have had zero failure in the device and am looking at the H1N as secondary.

D4D, your stuff is still good here in 2022! Thanks for keeping this on air so I can happen along and benefit 3 yrs after you shared it!

I love these guys! Bought one last month. I got a Y splitter, use the 3.5mm output on it and the shotgun into the jack on the camera.... It has the tone setting to synch the external to video in post. The amount of hassle that saves is amazing :)

I run a rode video mic on the a boom pole with a 3.5mm extension down to a zoom h1n velcroed onto the boom, have my levels right in front of me and easily acessable, a fantastic bit of kit and awesome for atmos or foley as you mentioned

Thanks Darious, i have this and now i'm very happy of the quality sound.

Oh my. Reviewing a product I have that's been tucked away for so long (4yrs). I have the "H4n", a beast at recording micro sounds even from the far distance. I heard birds chirping in the far background or leaves smashing down like crushed egg shells. Makes for an extended hearing aid or ASDR for soothing sound mediation? IDK We luv you D4' ...

My beloved Zoom H1 met its demise at the teeth of a retired racing greyhound. Now, I use...no joke...a Samsung Galaxy S 3. lol I started using this, along with an app called Rec Forge 2, temporarily after my H1 became snacky time food and I like it a lot better. It's a lot smaller, it's rechargeable, and you can easily move the audio files to dropbox or whatever when you're done.

I got the Zoom H1N paired with a rode lavalier go. I honestly am really impressed with the sound coming out of this combo, so much so that i even used it to record some dope vocals, even though thats like, the exact wrong use case for this kind of setup. And you know what? I don't think people are going to be able to tell the difference.

The preamps on the original BMPCC were ABYSMAL, so I used to have my Rhode plugged into Zoom H1, into camera for reference. Beautiful! New P4K has nice preamps, so I might have to do some comparisons to see if it is still needed.

You work is sooooooooooooooo smooth! Very pleasing to hear and see.

One thing I really don't like about the H1n is how sibilant it is. Especially when you're trying to tak advantage of its proximity effect. Nothing like a quick de-esser can't fix but its something to look out for.

Awesome video, my man! Currently going to school for sound design/audio engineering and I just picked one of these up the other day. This video definitely helps..oh and you’ve a new subscriber😎

I think 3:06 and 4:23 has the same clip in case you want to make a quick edit

Had mine for a while. Brilliant recorder but so true about wind noise when outdoors - ESPECIALLY when sailing ! Love our H1n & love learning HOW from your vids Darious. Thanks mate !

I started recording audio on this recorder. in my opinion, the main disadvantage is the shaking volume button and the lack of a built-in battery. You can get acquainted with the sound quality on my channel on the latest videos.

Just started practicing with mine. I love it!

I Can watch you all day! I’ve been on the fence about which audio recorder to get but you’ve just settled it for me :-) Thanks for your input

When you actually have the gear people are talkimg about in a filmaking tutorial 😁

■ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, your exposition was very clear. I think you forgot to say that it has a 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲. I am planning to buy one to register my lessons at the university. A do not know if the microphone will do the work with the professor 5 or 10 meter away. ■ Big adventage of 𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝟭𝗡 is that it can be powered by a 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸, while 𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝟭 works only wiith batteries.

At thomann.de the new version was more expensive than the older version, but as soon as all the old ones were sold out, the price of the new one dropped below the last price of the old one. Man, it must have been a flat feeling for those who bought the last of the oldies.

I've just finished university in June, I no longer have access to any kit and don't have much money to purchase everything I need 😂😂.. haha but thank you for posting this video. I just purchased the zoom h1n, it seems like a very solid audio equipment. Can't wait to use it!👌

killed it! great review, I love the pace of the coverage, good job man!

I loved how you speak

Thanks for this vid! I have a H1 with broken and missing pieces off but I don't care. It records and it's all that matters! Btw, I listened to your podcast with Ted at Indy Mogul, Loved it! Keep ti!

Thank you for blitzing this video! Amazing delivery.

I find it crazy just how much footage and content you managed to squeeze out of the few recording sessions you did for your last short film on your equipment. Talk about making use of your time! As always, an excellent video going into quality entry-level equipment for filmmaking. I ended up picking up the lav mic you talked about in your last video; it's been amazing during the times I've used it. Might consider this in the future if I decide to start filming stuff in the field; my current mic setup (at2020 xlr microphone with audio interface) is a little cumbersome to take on the go. Keep it up D! Love you fam!

I was hesitating between the Zoom H1N and the Tascam Dr-05X and I know which I’m going to purchase. Very descriptive video by the way !

Wonderful device, I used to use it for interviews, and it’s good at picking up background noise if needed, too!

If anyone is interested B&H currently has the gray H1N for $79.99 until 6/20. If you want to get it with the Rode smartLav+ and TRRS to TRS adapter for $123.99.

This review was absolutely perfect.

Imagine I just ordered one, I close the tab and I see this video :D

As a fellow KZfaqr (with a much smaller channel,) I would like to say the obvious. You Rock my brother. Amazing work on this simple video. I will be subscribing and using your associate links to buy these products. Peace.

Thanks for showing these types of videos! Helps out us indie filmmakers!

I use this too! It's awesome! :D Great advice Darious! :)

ooh the test tone thing will be really useful. never thought about using it just for the preamps and backup recording only then into a camera. thanks!

Hey Darious! Why don't you bring back those breakdown videos like "cinematography of the iron man" or story structure analysis. Those videos are reeeealy useful and helpful. Hope you answer my comment :)

I seem to get battery life of 3 hours max with my H1n. Since I’m using it for recording ham radio contacts, I just run it off USB as I’ve given up changing batteries. And your video is excellent, but I think you already knew that :-)

Just got one of these. My first off camera audio. 😎👍

When it comes to lav mics, I got two Countryman B3s for crazy cheap secondhand online. Those combined with my Zoom H4N Pro makes for the essential two-person mic setup on a budget.

would this be a good choice for recording one on one podcast on a budget ?

You warned us about the Amazon wishlists, this is on it lol

damn u're so smooth, nice pros and cons displayed. u got subbed!

absolutely need one of these for my stay here in Montreal The Tascam and shotgun mic are compact af but this is much more messenger bag friendly, had an H1 a few years back and it was great.

Look who's back..I love ur vids u honestly give great tips in every single video you publish

Wow! Thank u for all the cool ways I could use it!

Is it possible to plug camera and headphones to zoom at once? How can i do it?

Had mine for a few months now great little kit.

My podcast is recorded using this. You wouldn't think you need one, what with daws and cellphones having built in recording software, but I dunno, this is one of the best items in my setup and I own expensive synths lol.

Great review, straight to each point, no fluff.

Straight to the point no faken... Good video bud

Awesome little recorders. They go really well with my Aputure A.lav. Thanks for the video!

Bro thanks for sharing! One of my goals for this week was learning audio for film. Appreciate all you do!

This is cool but if you have music software you don't need it. You can get bandlab for free and put it on your laptop. Then buy your wireless mike. You will have to have an audio interface but you can buy a cheap one. I would advise the behringer audio interface.

Awesome content, thanks bro!

This was super helpful!! Thank you!!!

Got the h1n, h2n and h6... zoom products rock!

Congratulations, man. Good work.

Darious you are just awesome bruhhhh... You always keep things crisp n to the point... Both means the same thou lol... Respect... Peace brother...

I was on the fence about this but B&H has the grey one on sale fairly often which makes it an even better value.

i just bought one for narrative, enjoyed, was aliitle too fast for me, but new to the the whple voice recorder, good thing i can replay...you do have have good ideas, and does sound good...thanks

Thanks...your link to B&H Photo saved me $20 on the H1n.

Thanks for the review. I’m sold.

Such great timing!! I was just thinking of buying it these days..

Right to the chase ! great review ! I own the first Gen of this and its great I am getting one or two more , the one thing i don’t like is that the Lav for this requieres a 357 303 batteries .

¡I'm a New subscribe Nice Videos!

Thanks for creating and sharing this video review. It's a lot of help for me.

I love your color grade!

Your vids are super helpful. Thanks!

I love the new gain dial but it caused my only mishap in my pocket. Your tip to fix it rocked.

Nice review! I'm into one of these for outdoor nature recording, greetings from Finland

Thanks for all the infos, that was really useful !

Great video thanks for the info dude!!!

Yes. Even still in 2020.

great tut thanks

Thank you for doing this fast.

Nice one mate. Cheers for this. 👍🏆🇬🇧

Just ordered one thanks Darious!

Excellent, such a well thought out review.

Cracking review, held my attention, gave me what I needed, succinctly. Time is precious. I am buying one right now. If you could improve it, especially protecting it from drops, and I recently dropped my DSLR, so I thought have a go with sound instead, but I’ll cry if I drop and break this on my first outing, so how can it be protected and even improve its look and feel? Thanks for the review, saved me hours, possibly days trying to decide.

Thanks, love your videos!

Awesome review! Thank you so much!

Good review concentrating on the practical.

Yoo. This video is amazing cuzz. Ligthing. Sound. Editing. Congratts. Show us how you edit it..!! Sayin holla from mexico broh
