Zoom h1

Advantages: I use for a variety of video. The sound is three heads taller than anyone in their price range.
Small, easy, you can take everywhere with you.
It is incredibly remote.
Verified. I have already advised three friends and now I’ll buy a third one, but to compare the new version of H1n (the previous ones broke down due to the physical circumstances beyond the recorder's control).
You shouldn't ask him for the function of the voice recorder, because he is not from the office row.
By the way, black has a matte pleasant surface, and silver is just plastic.

Disadvantages: Plastic (attracted by the ears, because it is therefore cheap).
After a few falls, it starts to fail: it can record 10 seconds for some time and turn off. And after dancing with a tambourine, after some time passes. In general, take care of his protection.

Comment: The recorder can be successfully connected to the console, put a buttonhole on it or just use it as a gun. Older models are needed for multichannel recording, that is, for large production or in cases where sound plays a major role, i.e. implies a special further work with the mixing of this sound. Thus, for field conditions, in most cases this malt suffices.

Advantages: Awesome sound quality. You can record everything from heartbeat to nature.

Disadvantages: Batteries!
1. He literally eats them at work.
2. It discharges the battery during storage. If you need to write online, you should always wear a spare.
Time.
Internal settings of date and time are attached to the battery. I took out the battery, install everything again!

This problem is solved by the can. The battery always remains in the device for working hours and dates, and when recording sound to USB, Poverbank is connected.

Comment: Extremely sensitive to touch. If you record a quiet sound with a high sensitivity of the built-in microphone and hold the device in your hand, you can catch the creaking of the finger joints! Any contact of the case will be recorded, you need to use a tripod.
With all the shortcomings, this is a very high-quality and cool device, I use it for several years, I recommend it to the purchase.

Advantages: * sound recording, for me it can easily compete with the studio for the same price
* Universal, you can connect to the computer as a normal microphone, you can connect a buttonhole, you can attach to the camera, but you need to buy fasteners separately
* Also, if you connect a buttonhole, the sound is very good.
* you can connect headphones and listen to how he records, but I noticed that when you listen through headphones you can hear a little noise, but just recording a perfect clean on the computer can not hear anything

Disadvantages: Probably the only flaw is the case, on which you just walk your finger and the microphone records everything, then you need either an extra mount to touch it or buy a buttonhole that also fixes the situation

Comment: In general, very satisfied with the purchase, the price would certainly be lower, but if you need a good recording device and you are thinking about this model, take it safely

Advantages: Good sound quality, a good balance of sound recording in front of you, on the sides and behind the microphone (like this is called supercardioid)

Disadvantages: Body Soft-touch plastic tactile unpleasant, collects fingerprints, dirt from the table and so on. Worked with the model in the previous version, a glossy case with splashes. He was much nicer visually, did not collect dirt. Such a lightweight device does not need a soft touch, it will not slip out of nowhere, either from the hands or from the suspension with rubber bands. It is a pity that the new gloss is no longer to be found.
The second drawback: poor windshield of the entire hull. I advise you to find a stub for mini-usb port, if you plan to use the recorder on the street. Plus, in case of strong wind, I close the buttons with tape, the fur windscreen saves only microphone caps, and the wind blows all over the body and this affects the recording quality very much

Comment: Great model. But it is strange that they have not yet released a silicone cover-protection to it for the whole body for noise insulation.

Advantages: Small, economical, one battery lasts for the whole day. The microphones are protected by the case, you can throw it into the backpack without fear of breaking the device.

Disadvantages: When mounted on the SLR, it records all the noises from the body of itself and the SLR, the noise of the lens writes louder than the microphone built into the SLR. Therefore, fixing it on a shoe without a shock absorber is not an option at all. And with a shock absorber, all this is complicated and cumbersome, which negates the compactness of this device.

Comment: At first I bought a zoom h6, the device is excellent, but as it turned out in practice, it is very inconvenient because of the size, weight, the need to remove the microphone from the recorder to put it in the backpack, otherwise it is scary to break off the microphone during shooting and fuss. I bought a zoom h1 in addition, it sounds sound worse than h6, but small, light, durable, very convenient to carry around weddings and kindergartens. When buying, I chose black, although white ones were offered and cheaper. Why should I think white? At the very first wedding I realized that this black miracle device does not look very appropriate on the decorated table of the registrar, among pink and white laces, bows, ryushechek and glamorous lapizdronchikov. So, that the wedding attendants, take white :)

Advantages: 1. Good sound quality, you only need to use it when recording. (nuances, details, and the rest of the sound recordings that come with experience.
2. It works fine on battery, complete with 2 GB SD card (which is enough (for now and quite) + Le Cubeys and wave lab (of course, licensed): serials and online registration on the site. (Not yet tried).
3. Really surprised. An interesting device, really interesting, I'm not lying. I got the pleasure from this and quite a lot, entertaining, I advise.
4. The color is white, found only here: in a single copy. Conceptually. Perhaps a minor remark, but for connoisseurs and 'conceptualists' who are confused - the very thing ..
5. Exclusive and single copy. Only in Tula (namely h1w!). It can not but rejoice. Since h1w and the Internet is not easy to find .. And thanks for that, of course.

Disadvantages: It is possible that the price, but in our time it is possible to come to terms with it, although it is a bit difficult for the current time and dollar exchange rates. Really hard.

Comment: There were much more positive emotions than negative ones (which were not there at all), because you can get a completely studio quality at home / in the kitchen / bedroom for the money and this is a big plus. A huge plus. Realistically. Claims pah-pah-pah, I do not have.And a good alien in dns-e inspires (on the main avenue). In short, this is a review. See for yourself, but I will tell you one thing: this is a very entertaining device (gadget) ... and if you catch it, then .. you can make first-class masterpieces, and this is a matter of experience and time, well, agree .... guarantee, coupons - everything is here in the set ... And the end justifies the means: in terms of quality, and other parameters. The price certainly bites, but ... because the crisis is a delicate matter ... and independent of ordinary people. I wrote a review, and you already think it out yourself ...

Advantages: 1. Writes an incredibly high-quality sound. We recorded the rehearsals of the group, we could clearly hear all the instruments, including the drum set. Adjusting the input signal allows you to record any loud sounds without overloading.
2. Long battery life. Enough for 8-10 hours of continuous recording.

Disadvantages: A bit confusing control, but this is niggling. The device is very simple. There are no menus. The main switches are hardware parameters and are on the reverse side.

Comment: The ideal thing for high-quality voice recording, vocal parts, musical instruments and concerts without any unnecessary frills.
