  • CLEAR & SIMPLE... despite cheap plastic, it's a WINNER!!!
Color: Black Style: H1 (pre-2018 Model)
The media could not be loaded. PAID :: $99.99 - 1/15/16 - Did not get the Official Zoom Accessories Kit. (SEE VIDEO FOR SOUND EXAMPLES) NOTE :: 1st half is a Nikon D5300 BUILT-IN Mic, 2nd half is the ZOOM. You can hear the irritating Auto-focus noise w/Built-In :( RESULTS :: Captures Audio very well, if you use even earbuds as a monitor, it shocks you how much detail the Stereo Mics on the unit actually pick up. During a Car Show I was able to pickup "Everything" including idle chatter, birds in the distance, loud resonating bass from big block muscle cars...even to the point of being more sensitive then my own ears. CONCERNS :: My MAIN complaint is a specific minor issue. When you use it as a line-in 'ripper' the highs are washed out and the lows lack 50% or more of the frequencies below 250Hz. In other words using this as an mp3 ripper is less then ideal. I am sure I could get good results, but not without disabling every sound feature on my SoundBlaster ZX Card AND setting all EQ's to flat or disabled. NOTE:: When ripping the aforementioned steps are standard, you just need to put in extra time to rip with an H1 due to clarity, high end noise & the low end -db cut. FINAL OPINION :: Fantastic device, super easy to use & very suitable for post-production audio syncing. I don't use the line-in as a ripper, but that's completely overshadowed by the units functionality. If you need a great easy to use recording device for car shows, beach events or other busy convention-like activity the Zoom H1 Handy is the BEST vs. COST. It functions perfectly as a personal recorder and for interviews. The buttons function perfectly for me, with my only real complaint being the plastic case feels cheap & the SD Card slot & battery covers are too delicate. (Although after 6 months, I have not damaged mine...yet.) :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: UPDATES :: Make sure you download the firmware update = fixes the battery drain issue. My batteries last for MONTHS sitting in my H1 and I use Rechargeable Duracell NiMH cells. Get a FUZZY windscreen, handle (for personal recordings) & vibration isolation cage. I bought this set Movo AEK-Z1 Accessory Kit for the Zoom H1 Handy Recorder (Includes Shockmount, Camera Shoe, Furry Windsceeen & Hand Grip) it's much better then the Zoom versions (sadly). If you're not sure about this device let me say "It's a critical upgrade when compared to any built-in DSLR Mic hands down!" Just wish they sold an aluminum version with weatherproof rubberized sd card doors & battery cover, I would buy it even at $200. The larger Zoom mics are much better, but for me SIZE, WEIGHT & EASE of USE are more critical to me when used for events/shows/conventions/etc. Multi-track recorders have the edge, but the H1 gets the job done for me at a fraction of the cost & clutter. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ... show more

  • Great little recorder
Color: Black Style: H1 (pre-2018 Model)
I just got mine a few days ago, and so far I love it. Yes, as other reviews have said, it does feel very light and sort of fragile. Really though, if you take good care of your equipment, and keep it in some sort of case when you aren't using it, like I do, then I don't see why this recorder won't last a while. I bought this to replace my Tascam DR-07, and after testing the Zoom, I will be selling my old Tascam for sure. Here's why: The Zoom H1 is tiny. I've been keeping it in a PSP case very similar to this one: I can fit the recorder, headphones, and a mini tripod in this case, along with a small piece of foam to place between the Zoom and the tripod because I'm overly careful about scratches. The sound quality on the Zoom is better than the Tascam, especially with the built in mics, but also with external plug-in mics. The Tascam always seems to have a little bit of a background hiss, which I have experienced none of with the Zoom. The built-in mics on the Zoom H1 are a little bit more clear and sharp sounding than the Tascam, and their pickup pattern is much more directional. This is good and bad, depending on your usage. With the Tascam, I could pretty much place it anywhere in the middle of a group of musicians and it would pick up the whole ensemble almost evenly, with some stereo separation. With the Zoom, whatever is directly in front of the recorder is picked up louder, and centered between the left and right. Things slightly off to the sides are picked up quieter, and with much more clear stereo separation than the Tascam. So overall, I would say this is another positive for the Zoom, unless you are trying to pick up all of the sounds in all directions at once. The buttons are easy to learn the layout of, but they are a small and recessed, making them a little bit more difficult to press than I would like. The record button has a soft feel to it, as opposed to a solid click, which is kind of a set back. The buttons could be better but they are in no way a deal-killer. You are definitely going to want some sort of windscreen for this recorder, either foam, fur, or something. I sewed together a little sleeve out of nylon stockings and a hair elastic, and I can keep it on the recorder all the time because it takes up no space. It does less than a foam windscreen would, and much less than a fur one like a redhead would, but it cuts out a lot of the pops and noises of moving the recorder around or breathing near it. All together, I would say this is a great little recorder, with superb sound quality, and alright build quality, that is easily worth the low price it is currently going for. For DSLR filmmakers, musicians, or anyone else, I say go for it. ... show more
