The clip on wireless has come along way! I got one on Amazon that also makes the studio mic I have and both are unbelievable! I got the dual version I believe for $99 and I sent back the Shure MV7B and the wireless Shure, the model number escapes me. I will eventually do a video on them. But Wow! For a third or a quarter of the price and works flawlessly with both. I’ll see if I can find the name here and let you know. It’s Chinese but I am so impressed! Great video because this stuff is important! peace
One thing to keep in mind is that this really isn't a wireless recorder. Even with the bluetooth version, you still record the audio directly to the SD card plugged into the F2 itself. Thanks as always!
Hmm...I have no need for it personally, but I think my SO could use that for her cooking videos. Already working on getting her to set up recording video streams directly to her computer, so having the video synced up out of the box would save her some time, and it would be wireless so she can still move freely. Appreciate the recommendation!
It looks cool I’ve owned 6 or 7 Zooms but for that price maybe even cheaper you could get a P4 which is a Mixer/ 4 outputs, 5 tracks, ect. But I’ll look into it they also just put out 3 small mixers too so it’s too much options these days
Keep in mind that the F2 is only a voice recorder, and isn't intended to be anything else. So while a mixer with many different tracks and outputs is awesome, the F2 will probably be a better device for someone who just needs a compact way to get high quality recordings. Thanks as always!
My normal mic is an Audio Technica AT-2035, which should definitely sound better as it's a proper studio mic running via XLR into my Zoom Livetrak L-12 mixer, and then treated a bunch in the editing process haha. The audio you were hearing from the F2 was just straight off the recorder, not bad at all for something that is barely noticeable!
@@FreeBeat Not bad at all. If the audio wasnt being compared right next to one another I wouldn't have noticed. For the price difference, the F2 is seems like a really good deal for voice. Your other setup would probably be better for recording music though.
Weeks later... What is the "episodic show" ? Could one also use the output to a wireless transmitter to the camera? -using the BT as a back up audio recording "just in case'?
And another sweet sleeper feature: it charges rechargeable batteries right in the device. plug and charge. freakin awesome. the app is pretty great too which allows you to track the exact time, battery and levels. (side use: plug into record players and record vinyl tracks).
You can control certain elements of the device (recording start/stop and some others) from your phone. I've actually never used the Bluetooth features haha.
I use the Tascan DR10,s -- when they need replacing, or I need an additional recorder, this would definitely be my choice. I really don't have any problems with the Tascams, but not having to adjust audio when out doing solo shooting is one less things to worry with. Good show!! Cheers.
Oh yeah looks like zZounds has those prices too, in fact most online retailers are matching it. $145 for the normal one and $179 for the bluetooth model, those are insanely good deals!
@@stevenblock2514 yeah the only benefit of the Bluetooth is to monitor and change settings of the recorder with the app on your phone I guess. Not sure what other features it provides. IMHO I've bought things with Bluetooth connectivity thinking it would be cool to control it but rarely used that feature. Lol
It would be great if they made a version of this you could patch stereo instruments into. It would be great to just be able to plug in something and record. h1n I would pick up but I keep holding out for a newer device that has at least USB-C, and if they can make a more compact one even better.
Honestly as small and compact as the H1n is I'd just say go for it. True, the USB port is a bit outdated, but it's just such a solid device haha. Thanks for watching!
I have had a few audio recorders and my favorite is Zoom H1. Those run on a single AA battery for 5-6 hours of recording time. Has stereo mics built in, and records to wave or mp3. I record to mp3 as it is quicker to process. I use a lossless mp3 editor called mp3directcut, this can edit out parts, set levels and label all without having to re-encode(lossless).
Yikes... lost credibility mentioning Zzounds. Zzounds could never ship me a guitar or piece of gear that was actually new and not f'd up. There's a reason they do that "poor man's" financing... you have to be desperate to buy from them. Of course they would send someone like Free Beat new gear, wait until you try it though.
I've been purchasing from zZounds for over a decade (long before they started helping the channel out, and long before the channel existed) and have never had a single issue, you're actually the first person I've come across who's had any problem with them at all.
@@FreeBeat Not trying to be a jerk about them or to you, but it's true... I tried more than once and I think I ended up sending everything back to the them with the exception of a Hartke bass cabinet. The big one was when I tried to purchase a new Jackson Pro (kind of a mid-high tier model guitar from Jackson), it arrived dinged up and obviously not new... after the third one like that I told them I give up. They were apologetic and gave me a $100 that still sits unused. I play guitar, bass and enough drums to be dangerous, so I buy a lot of gear... believe me, I was more disappointed than anything. I do like and appreciate your channel... I started watching for the PO demos and tutorials.
