 One of the useful things about the zoom h1n field recorder that one might notice is that it does have a Quarter inch head at the bottom of the camcorder that quarter inches located just above the battery compartment So this can be really useful. I'm just experimenting today capturing audio as this for location science is if I take out my trusty Yulanzi mt-34 Multifunctional tripod which has a quarter inch at the top and it's got also this really handy little thumb screw wheel So I'm holding the FEMA so it's gonna be a bit tricky to to do this all at the same time So so here we go I'm not sure if this is necessarily the best way it was a little bit tricky to get to the other way But now I've effectively mounted the zoom h1n onto the Yulanzi mt-34 The microphones are located at the top of the zoom h1n so just appear now the cool thing about this rig is that This guy extends up to something like a meter there about so If I was trying to capture audio from let's say in the bushes over here There were some like birds and I wanted to get really up close to them without frighten them away Well, probably would anyway, but I can bring this guy up here I can go up into the air with it, etc Just as if I had a camera and obviously just taking care to point those microphones in the direction of where I was trying to capture audio from So if you're doing feel I'm just new to this world of field audio Capture recording. I am planning on making a little folio Foley library for myself and of course one really nice thing about the zoom h1n is that you can pass audio through it So there's a line out on this site and there's a line in on this site So if you want to connect something like a lavalier or a shotgun microphone You can simultaneously record to the micro SD card for backup purposes And then pass that audio through through using a 3.5 mil and put that into a camcorder So that's another really useful feature of this that kind of distinguishes it from your run-of-the-mill DVR So cool piece of gear and I'm in a Tel Aviv Israel today For business but having a bit of fun with that camera gear while I'm here as well Another usage you can make of this combination of the zoom h1n field recorder and the Lanzey MT-34 Multifunctional tripod is that you can mount the quarter inch of the zoom h1n on to this and then use it kind of as a surrogate desktop microphone almost and this is definitely very untraditional use for this combination, but if you're trying to have a get a microphone at natural face level in a pinch and this could work of course if you have a Dead cat and you have a regular Micro or my phone here is a bit squishy and you can fit those on as well just to control for those plosives and Etc. And this is gonna work pretty well if you're trying to record a subject for you know something like a podcast or something like that It's fully portable. This will telescope all the way down and then you can just take it off and put it back into your camera bag
