[UndergroundMagazin]

:))

[101MovieBuff]

my in-built MBP speakers are not worthy of the quality of this audio!

[aDriveByProd]

Sounds good.. Mine will be here tomorrow. I like that song too.

[shaolin95]

I was about to get a Rode Videomic pro but this things sounds amazing so far. I dont thjink I have seen any comparable videos with the rode.

[rholownia]

good sound I used H2 (nev version) adnd H4 but this is great sound man I dont see big differences

[lalythil]

@Lyricalmovement2010 I doubt the camera uses any shutterspeed during a movieshot... perhaps you meant the fps?

[benthemiester]

The highs sound good but it lacks a little low end.

[draeath]

Damn. Close your eyes and you might even be there.

Can't say no for $100.

[tanmayerande]

this song is "Uninvited" by Alanis Morissette. (

[kraftuu]

I bought a H1 to my 550D because of this video (more audio).

[nerwin]

Wow that Zoom H1 is pretty impressive, I might just get it and mount it on my D7000

[youngmoonbeck]

holy crap that sounds pretty darn good for such a small budget product

[ipadize]

can you please use next time an optical stabilization system? thanks it looks better...

[ipadize]

i like it that it can record bass!

[nileaotw]

I am impressed with this result. could you tell me how much you bought the microphone including with accessories?

Thank you

[cyrax037]

Love this bands sound! Came here for the H1 test, but I stayed for the music! :)

[EurekaSeventy]

how do u connect them both. Do you use a 3,5mm audio cable and just press rec on the camera or both?

[BRENNANSTECHBITE]

Wow, great test video!

[ahmetkorcan44]

thanks a lot, I was just interested with the quality of the zoom h1 but (for the musıc too)

[illegalalien2]

Did you hold your Zoom H1 all the Time in your hand or did you used a stativ?

Because I would like to buy such a thing,too :)

[Zwartan]

@illegalalien2 I mounted the zoom on the hot shoe of my camera.(you need an adapter, you can find it on amazon. just Google for "Marshall-V-LCD-MT")

[illegalalien2]

@Zwartan Ah Thanks, Ok. I should buy them then. Thanks :)

[360videosTeam]

what lens did you use?

[Zwartan]

@360videosTeam The standard EF-S 18-55mm IS lens it came with.

[niels241]

great audio quality! Do you know if it's possible to mount the Zoom H1 microphone on a Nikon D5000 camera?

By the way, what song (and/or) artist is this? It sounds very familiar!

[Zwartan]

@niels241 Als je ff hier naar googled "Marshall-V-LCD-MT" vind je het verloopstukje dat je nodig hebt .

Dan pas de H1 op iedere camera. ".

De band die je ziet is "My Favorite Scar" met als gast Colette van "Good Things End"

Het is een cover van Alanis Morissette ' uninvited'

Voor Meer 'Good Things End' kun je ff op mijn ander kanaal kijken "eaglemoorehouses"

[Zwartan]

@ExitProducts I use a photo camera (Canon Rebel T2i / 550d) so I have to zoom manually and focus before I start recording. In this way camera operation sounds aren't a problem for me. Listening to my zoom recordings I actually can't remember hearing anything that looks like  operation sounds not even the mirror sound. Of course don't forget I'm talking about rock concerts !!!.

[Kaza52]

Hey there, have you tried filming any bands with the H1 mounted on your camera and used the line out from the zoom to your canon?

I'm thinking of setting one up like this for a quick set and forget type thing.

[Zwartan]

@Kaza52 I haven't tried this out yet, but I will do it in the future

The only problem I can see is that the zoom can record in a higher quality .This can be meaning full for the sound quality when you later edit the sound.

For instance when you record at a low input level( not taking any risk of clipping)The sound quality will stay better after normalizing it.I always try to see the sound as a picture , more pixels(96 Khz / 24bits in sound) means you can zoom further before it gets unsharp

[TheBoysFromTheBlue]

quick question- did you use the recording function on the mic and then put the movie and sound in sinc? or did you put the zoom mic into the camera's mic input, and recorded the sound from the zoom through the camera?

[Zwartan]

@TheBoysFromTheBlue Used the H1 to recorded the sound ( completely independent of the camera ) .

In a video editing program I synced the original camera sound with the Zoom H1 sound.

Then I deleted the camera sound .

So now you only hear the Zoom H1 sound.

[worldofgnr]

nice, so this is mounted on canon 550d, u havent placed it near band ? also did u mount external mic or its all only zoom h1

[Zwartan]

@worldofgnr It's just the zoom H1 mounted on the camera,but I have to mention that the sound-system at 'Podium Vorstin' where I recorded this, is 'State of the art'.

[Ben8472]

great audio quality for a $99 device!
