5 out of 5 stars Works very well   July 27, 2010
Scott FS (Sacramento, CA United States)

I'm helping a friend with a film shoot. It's tedious work, but if something breaks or goes wrong, guess what? You've now got actors and crew and hangers-on just sitting around, stewing.

The film is being shot in high-def, but the excellent camcorder is not burdened with doing the sound. The Zoom H4n Handy Recorder is. We've got it hooked up to a boom with a shotgun mike.

This is an excellent recorder. It handles recording the actors in exemplary fashion. The display is simple enough to be pretty intuitive, with very little instruction. Now I'm not going to say that you can go out and buy this recorder and start knocking on Steven Spielberg's door. This is not a mixing board with multiple tracks one can lay down. This is a four-channel recorder, and for filming, it's great. We have a young guy who wants to be a director (who doesn't) hanging around the set. The sound director took pity on him and let him run the recorder for a while on non-critical shoots. He picked it up in a couple of minutes, and did pretty well holding the boom and running the recorder.

I've been pretty impressed with the capability of this recorder, and the sound is excellent. I can only attest to its versatility on the set; I've not tried it with recording a band, or bird calls or whatever. But I can tell you that this recorder is just about perfect for location shooting. Combined with the shotgun mike, it works really well. Now if we can just get the actors to learn their lines better...

Highly recommended. It's worth every penny of its very reasonable cost.

This is a real handy machine. Small, portable, easy to use. Well worth the dough.


5 out of 5 stars have used it for a while now   July 16, 2010
Saeed A. Siddiki (Riyadh, KSA)
i havent gone total sound pro with this yet but for all the little things i have been using it for (children's sounds, sound effects collections, office chit chats, podcast sound bytes etc.) this thing packs a PUNCH! I used it recently to record my daughters small nursery rhymes career (fingers crossed) the sound is amazingly pro. I am going to soon enough start using the device for actual live recordings. But what really amazed me was the small little stand that came with it -- which enables the entire device to be a mic. Guess what this little plastic stand works perfectly too with a small Point and Shoot camera like Canon PowerShot SD750 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Black) This little stand is perfect when your trying to chase teh kids along with teh zoom to record the voice and the sound and video!

all in all solid product

I've been using the Zoom H4N to record separate audio tracks for my Canon 7D primarily due to the auto gain control on the 7D. When compared to the onboard audio the difference is amazing. This picks up much more detail, separates the stereo channels much better than the onboard mic. The H4N allows me to monitor recording levels, move the mic away from the camera to eliminate sound from the focusing and lens stabilization and I can add a wind screeen to virtually elimiate wind noise. Sound quality is great, plenty of options for adding 4 channel sound with XLR / 1/4" combo jack. This means you can have directional mics for voice and still use stereo mics for ambient and mix and monitor them in the H4N too to reduce the amount of work in post. Line out makes it easy to use as external mic for the 7D too, especially with sturdy tripod mount.

I'm delighted with this recorder. My previous audio recorder was a Sony Minidisc recorder - it's great to be digital now. I found the recorder easy to use. I added a RedHead windscreen, which works much better than the Zoom's foam windscreen. My only complaint (easily resolved) is that when I hold the recorder in my hand, the mic is very sensitive to movements of my hand. The solution is to hold the recorder by the mic stand (the short stick that comes with it).
