Zoom H1 Review and Test | Portable Handy Digital Audio Recorder | with DSLR and USB test

My head is spinning!!! I've owned three of this same device, all lost or 1 stolen. I really liked the quality and I really don't understand all this technical audio talk which I find very frustrating. I still liked the quality of my recording as a singer, so maybe it doesn't matter, but damn, I'm a singer, not a techie!! But thanks for the video. You do tell me many things that was totally unaware of.

Brilliant review thank you super helpful.

wow.. this review made me want to buy this aside from being the cheapest in the zoom mics.

Hi, can it function without batteries when used as a usb microphone?
Thank you so much for the review.

Can I directly boom it on top of my talent without any external mic or so?

what's the difference between black, blue and black zoom h1? Bc, black one is more expensive than the others.

Best review for the Zoom H1

The white version is so sexy

if I plug it into my sony a5000 with a 3.5 to mirco usb cable will it still start recording when I start filming, I have to use and external recorder because it doesn't have a headphone jack, someone help please

Will this work with a Rode Videomic GO? It uses plug in power, so it doesn't have a battery for itself

I produce music, and want to records vocals over instrumentals (Hip Hop), would this be a mic good enough for that?

Great info! Thanks... I decided to buy one...

Whats generally better audio, using the audio from the Zoom card, or recording with the wire into the camera, such as the camera in this example? Im currently listening on a mobile device and its difficult to tell the difference. is there much difference? Direct to camera would be more convenient in many situations.

i just buy one

This is such an excellent presentation. I agree with Kuchh Bhi - should be seen more

please help me. i want to record with my zoom h1 to my canon 70 d. please gives me the exact cable link

Does the tripod mount still Plastic tread?

Does it need a battery when being used as a USB mic?

it have a pop filter please help???

I use the H1 to micro-phoned my bride at a wedding. Well, when I want to synchronize audio in post production, the audio of the Zoom h1 is way uneven of my original audio of my camera. It delays out to two seconds. Does anyone here know what am i doing wrong?

why does it have a charger if there are batteries inside? does it charge the batteries or is there an additional powersource inside that can be charged? please help

I want to create sounds for my music recording would this be the best chose?

Please do a Zoom H4n Review like this...

can it be used for home studio instead of condenser mics?

when connecting the Zoom to a DSLR with the 3.5 cable, do i still need to push the record button on the zoom????

Very good review, to the point and no wasted time. Excellent. I'd watch your other reviews based on this. Thanks.

thank you

suppose am interviewing two guys who are standing close to each other..can this thing pick up the audio?

Very good review. One question: Can be plugged this recorder to a video camera?

very helpful and distinct review, thank you

Great review! But I have a question.. How well does the auto-level feature work? I'm going to be using it in singing lessons (where I will sing - high volume, and talk - low volume) so this is quite an important feature for me. Thanks!

Good vid. Can you please make a video on how to connect the Zoom H1 to Canon 700d t5i DSLR directly. thanls

Thanks alot

Thanks alot

Black or white version?Which looks best?Does black one looks more plasticky and cheap?Do you think Zoom will make a second model since this first model already fews year old?
Thanks!

Nice review, I own an H1 and I learnt some new things, thanks ;)

I already own a zoom h1...but i learned many new information from your review..thanks..

Is it something that you can use for recording Foley sounds like nature sounds too?

Does the cable for the usb usage come with the package? If not, can you link a cable for it? I don't think I'm buying the accessory package.

great video thanks

One of best Review of the Zoom h1. What is the frequency response of the microphone of zoom h1?

Very good and helpful video. Thanks.
Certainly more thorough than the brief instruction sheet included with the Zoom product.
Thanks again. Thumbs up!

Hi  i have a Zoom H1 and cannon 700D  but i still get the hissing noise in the background... how did you set the cannon internal level ...  please let me know the exact Zoom input level as well... tanks in advance

Maybe you should reweiw a smartwatch? For exampel the "Asus Zenwatch". :D
Nice video btw!
