Can we use zoom h4n for outdoor shooting directly without putting any extra mic on it••???

@rickybizzness7364 5 лет назад

Awesome! Step 5 will save me tonnes on batteries! Had no idea! Thanks for the tip!!!

@RumenVista 6 лет назад

Great video, it helped me a lot. Sound is definitely a thing that I have to improve. Can you tell me what is your sound setup. What mic do you use and what amplifier. I use Saramonic amp plus Edutige mic but I am not very pleased with the results, plus I have to think about the cable of the mic all the time and the Saramonic is draining the batteries like crazy.

@TheNootLinja 7 лет назад

Thanks for the video. Just picked up my Nikon d3400 for my channel and realized that they dropped the 3.5mm jack from the d3300 on the d3400 so i will be picking up the zoom h4n pro along with a few of these items. Thanks again!

@TechWizTime 7 лет назад

That's a shame about the dropped input jack. The H4n Pro is definitely one of the best investments I've ever made :)

@jomartinkelly1 6 лет назад

I literally shouted out loud when I saw that USB to 5A cable. LIFESAVER!

@turadavide 4 года назад

Ehy man great video. With my Zoom N4h and my phone, if I want to record me audio/video while I play at the piano is necessary just the cable 3,5mm from the lino out of the Zoom to the Audio input of the phone? Thanks.

@cabrondelasventas 6 лет назад

Great Job! Any ideas on how to capture the audio from the H4n straight into an iphone? (for videos). Cheers!

@KimYang 7 лет назад

Hi, can I ask if I can connect a XLR cable to mic and connect a 6.5mm jack to my electric guitar directly in order to record both my vocal and guitar at the same time and get two clearer sounds? or do I have to connect another mic in order to record the guitar? Thanks!

@UsefulVid 4 года назад

Great video! I am refering to 03:32: if you plug in a additinal 3,5mm mic, will it "replace" the X/Y Mic on the top or will they still be usable?

@TwoThreadsAhead 4 года назад

I recently got one of these for recording foley and things for sound design but I'm wondering whether you know If i plug the jack of an auxilary cable into the headphone output with the other end going into the microphone input of my computer and then set the device to monitor mode, Could I also use it as a microphone ??

@christineboschen2532 6 лет назад

Thanks, this is helpful! I need to plug in two external lavalier mikes for doing an interview. I want to set them both to record in stereo. How do I do that? Is there a way to set stereo for both inputs 1 and 2? I only want to use external mikes, not the mike that comes on the recorder. Also, can you recommend a mode to record in? I am feeling VERY overwhelmed by this new fancy recorder, though I know it's a must to have now that I am podcasting professionally.

@FrancescoSpingola 6 лет назад

Hi, thanks for this video! I have a question about tip nr 5. I have a 20000 mAh powerbank, the output is 5V, 3.4 A (total), it has 2 outputs. I just bought the 5V 1A USB cable that you suggested, but I am asking myself if I could use my powerbank, that has an output higher than requested for the H4n pro (3,4 A vs 1A), or it is better to don't use it to power the recorder to avoid damages? Will the USB cable you suggested "convert" the output amperage of my powerbank from 3,4 A to 1A? Thanks and sorry for length!

@fun_ghoul 5 лет назад

Voltage needs to match, but amperage does not. With current (amps), you need to ensure you have at LEAST as much current as your device demands, rather than viewing the device's rated current as an upper limit. The device _draws_ as much current as it needs (or less, if less is available), but never more. The 1A-rated cable could theoretically be insufficient for the power bank if you were powering a device that draws 3.4A...but you're not. The H4N comes with a 5V 1A adapter (Zoom AD-17), so it draws no more than that. Hope that helps.

@katialallo2321 4 года назад

Thanks TechWiz, great video. I accidentally dropped something onto my H4N Pro whilst it was in the case and it still managed to break the led screen. The recorder still works but has an ink bleed, do you know anywhere in Aus that fixes screens?

@TausifHussain 7 лет назад

Hey bud can you record using three sources at once? Such as record from an xlr input, a rode videomic pro through the 3.5mm jack on the back, and through the actual microphone on the zoom?

@fun_ghoul 5 лет назад

If you use the 1/4" input (the hole in the middle of the XLR) instead of the 3.5 on the back, you can do it for sure. Cheers.

@Noises 6 лет назад

I brought a mini battery booster/jump starter for my car that has 2 USB ports on it. Runs the field recorder and video camera for a weekend, recharges off a 240v inverter plugged into the car's 12v if I'm out any longer or using it to run an inverter for the laptop. Sits neatly under the tripod, fits in my camera bag and kicks 36 flavors of crap out of your average power bank. Oh and it'll start the car if I run the main battery flat using far too many gadgets while camping. I've also got a SmartLav+ and my first accessory for it was the TRRS to TRS adapter. Utterly awesome mic for the price, stoked to know the H4n has the 3.5mm input to get the full use out of it.

@BartholomewUpart 5 лет назад

If you use a Lavalier Mic, will you only hear what you record from that mic? Or is it also simultaneously recording from the H4N Pro itself?

@PatChat 6 лет назад

Thank you for putting this together. Just got the H4n and this is a great intro video to save me a lotta time down the road trying to figure out better ways of doing things for my videos.

@TechWizTime 6 лет назад

It's been over a year since I released this video and I still use my H4nPro every video I shoot. Currently, I use the H4n Pro as the Audio Gain between my DSLR and Rode Filmmaker Kit. The gains in the H4n Pro make this an investment that has paid for itself. I don't even use it to record! All audio is recorded via the DSLR :)

@thedangersofoxygen135 6 лет назад

@@TechWizTime how do you do that? My current dslr doesn't have a mic input, so it's not a pertinent question, but my next purchase will be a camera with mic input

@itrabos 5 лет назад

Hey man, you just killed me with your tips and links! I've been looking for EVERYTHING you showed here, and just after 5 minutes I got all bought. Thank you.

@FrenchinPlainSight 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video. Does the VXLR to 3.5mm adapter only work with Rode mics? Would the standard TRS cable work with this? I believe I only need a TRRS adapter if I'm using with a smartphone? I want to buy lav mics to work with the H4N. Thanks to anyone who can advise.

@fun_ghoul 5 лет назад

You can't use a TRS, only a TS, but yes. I'm fairly certain video dude didn't know about them this whole time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@chriss6531 4 года назад

thanks for this great video.. but do you know how to record from a Lav mic and the Zooms stero mic at the same time?

hi awesome video, for number 1: why do you need an adapter can you not plug it straight into that port? and how is that different from number 3

@enlau5234 6 лет назад

Hello I have a question; perhaps you can comment: I am planning to acquire the H4N Pro in order to 'back up' Digital Audio Tapes ( DAT ) from a DAT machine which is becoming faulty. I am planning to connect the right / left XLR analog outputs from the DAT machine to the R / L XLR inputs on the H4N Pro, and record onto an SD card. I don'y want to add any of the audio enhancements affordrd by the Zoom model. Will this work ? Thank you Louis

@Dothrak1 7 лет назад

Hey buddy I connected my h4n pro to my pc (windows 10) to use it as a interface audio and when i made a test it just sounds horrible do you know what could it be?? The mics are ok

@adamparsons9507 6 лет назад

you may have already addressed this. Is there a way to make the H4n Pro into an external mic for iPhone? I've just purchased a MEVO and would LOVE the quality of the sound to match the picture.

@TechWizTime 6 лет назад

On the side of the H4N Pro is an Output 3.5mm jack. I output all my audio from the H4n to the Canon T5i so I don't have to mix in audio from another source. The H4n Pro acts purely as the Amplifier between my camera and the Rode Filmmaker Kit Wirless Lav that I use. The gains that it provides means my audio sound 1000% better and cleaner with minimal noise. Recording with just the H4N Pro microphones will give you better audio compared to an iPhone as well :) Hope that helps.

@PoetWithPace 4 года назад

@gsprotennis 5 лет назад

What audio device do you recommend to capture audio wirelessly from 2 different people talking at the same time who are being recorded by one single DSLR?

@Energizer34 7 лет назад

Why a Rode smartLav+ Lavalier Microphone for iPhone and Smartphones? Does the H4n Pro specifically have a 4 connector jack on the back? Does this mean that a mono or stereo mic would not work? That mic is quite expensive and I would like to open up my options with a better understanding of what options are available to connect to the inputs. Also I'm interested in connecting 2 lav mics to the XLR jacks with the 3.5mm adapters you showed here and so my question applies to these jacks and connectors as well. Thanks.

@jonatanguitar 7 лет назад

Thanks for a great video! I'm looking into getting something like the H4n to record acoustic guitar, both 1 channel miked and 1 channel lined - and then mix those channels in the computer. Would the H4n work for this?

@TechWizTime 7 лет назад

It should. Bottom XLR connections can be converted so I don't see why not :) Using separate channels for each input will give you more freedom in mixing them on the computer :)

@jonatanguitar 7 лет назад

So, i put all tracks into a single wave file so that i could re-upload them to the H4n. However, now I'm having a bit of an issue because i can't seem to move them to the H4n. It won't play :(...S.0.S. NEED HELP! Thanx!

@eecook 6 лет назад

Can you record straight from a phone into the H4N Pro? I will be using my H4N to do Podcast and some of my interviews may be via phone. It would be so much easier to hook the phone straight into the recorder if possible. I believe that is what you were saying with tip 1 but am unsure. Thanks...

@denpille1909 6 лет назад

thanx for great video. I just got my h4npro. have few Questions. 1) when starting its loading a lot...more than a minute. is it failure of model or maybe bad card? card is tested and OK, good brand, worked fine with H1, but its micro now with adapter. moved to new firmware but again loading a lot. 2) yesterday I tried to record phone conversation. I was with lav-mic connected to 3.5 up where mics are, and smartphone is connected with stereo 3.5 to 2monojacks cable down on bottom. recorded 4 canals (2 for me, 2 for phone) it worked fine, but when preparing (before call started) there was lot of noise, when started it stops, also voice was not consistent, probably because of phone line? also person on the phone hardly understand my questions (like i'm in barrel)

@tylerjon12 5 лет назад

i just got the h4n pro! Your hacks are genious. Do you ever use the wired lavs tho? the shotgun mic on the device works fine but my lav's for channel one and two do not work and wondered if you had the same issue and thats why you were using the singular external mic input instead of the xlr outputs.

@soniamoloney6206 7 лет назад

those the H4n pro still have the phantom power option ? (might be a stupid question cant seem to get answer via google) if does. a real step up that you can charge it using a power bank cause phantom power does go through alot batteries very quickly

@ajschubertvideos 7 лет назад

Hey Jon, thanks so much for the tips. Question for you - I am planning on recording some interviews using my H4n and would like to monitor the audio in the process. However, I'm going to be on camera as well, so I don't want to be wearing wired headphones. Do you know of any wireless headphones that I would be able to monitor the Zoom audio with? All wireless buds I'm finding require pairing via bluetooth, and I don't believe you can do that with the Zoom. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

@davide2.07 Год назад

@tarcisosantos2610 6 лет назад

@traydahlthejugtimeragband5138 7 лет назад

I have zero tech knowledge so please bear with my question, but is your number 2 use saying that I can record a video on my iphone6 that uses the H4n as the mic for better sound? If so, do you then have to sync the audio to the video in some type of software program later or will the video and the better audio already be together? I don't have an SD card in my phone though. Without that I suppose the better sound just goes straight onto the video in the camera? I wonder if you wouldn't mind making a video showing how we could use the H4n as a basic mic for our phones. I'll understand if that's too much trouble though. Thanks for any advise you can give.

@Drb3r 7 лет назад

Hi, I have a couple of questions, first I'd like to give you somewhat of a backstory. I don't have any experience with sound recording but I'm looking for the best handheld recorder to use for filmmaking (animation) purposes, I'd like to record sound effects, ambience sound, nature recordings and voice recording. I've done research and quickly found the Zoom H2n, then found the Zoom H4n, and now the Zoom H4n pro. These are the recorders I can afford. Now I understand the main difference between the H2n and H4n are options and the H4n pro is a greatly improved version. I would like the option to be able to mount it to my DSLR so I think that means scrapping the Zoom H2n, right? The H4n and pro version have XLR inputs so you can use an external mic with it. My questions about these are: Basically how this works. What is the role of the Zoom h4n pro in this, why would you use an external mic with it? What is the purpose of using an external mic, on a Zoom h4n pro, on a DSLR? I've watched many reviews, and the H4n pro seems like the best option out of these with more options for the future.. but I would basically like a bit more information and confirmation as to how this all works, from someone with experience before I make the purchase.

@TechWizTime 7 лет назад

Okay. The H4nPro is the better choice for several reasons. The internal components are upgraded to be better in a recording sense. The GAINS (or how loud the sound can be manipulated before getting noisy feedback) are of the same quality as the models up from the H4n. Better Gains = Better sound quality. The reason for using an external XLR Microphone is better quality sound once again. The microphones on top of the H4N Pro are great quality, however, if you are looking for a low noise floor (or the amount of noise being captured when nothing is happening) and a greater range of sound (basically bass, treble, warmth etc) then an external microphone is going to bring your great sound recordings up to awesome! To be honest, if you are just recording sounds for animation, then the H4N Pro is all you would need to start. Adding a Boom Mic with a Blimp enclosure to reduce noise is something that can be purchased down the track. You don't need it now. Just make content as making the content means you improve and get better with time! Good Luck :)

@Drb3r 7 лет назад

Thank you very much for your answer! I figured the H4n pro would be better down the line because it has at least the option of using another mic with it down the line should I want to but it's always good to have a bit more information from someone who has the information & experience! Now I am definitely convinced. :)

@AndrewSnowden007 7 лет назад

Hi, I recorded a concert using hn4 pro. When I playback concert on recorder it seems clear but when I put the sd card into my laptop the audio level is very quiet. Do I need software to edit this? Are you able to help? Thanks

@TechWizTime 7 лет назад

I use Adobe Audition for all my Audio Post Production. You should be able to NORMALISE the audio to -3db quickly and get an idea on how it sounds. If you have silence recorded, you can capture that noise print after normailisation to reduce any of the unwanted hissing or static. It should dramatically boost your audio. Otherwise, try a free tool like Audacity which may just help too :)

I don't use my Zoom H4n PRO much because of my type of video (TOY R/C Model Planes) where I need someone to figure a way for my Canon XA-30 or T5i to take my H4n PRO from pause to record and back to pause as I press the Record/Pause button on the camera. I have the Wired Remote for the H4n PRO but need the H4n PRO better synced with the Record/Pause of my camera as there many shots are very short 3 to 10 seconds and as many shots as 25 to 30 or more in a single flight. and can be of different aircraft. So you can see the synchronization of audio can be very time consuming if not at all impossible. Any help out there PLZ.

@deazel215 4 года назад

yes you can but only 2 mic or 2 channels not all 4 but you can switch between the separate channels

@WilliamSaadGuitar 4 года назад

Thank you Darius...do you what DAW software on PC will read all 4 channels simultaneously? Reaper?

Hi, I’ve been getting a lot of hiss from my H4N pro. What suggestions do you recommend?

@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears 4 года назад

You have probably solved this problem or moved on but my suggestion would be a wind sock or turn down your gain (record volume). Possibly reduce the angle of the mics recording area(terminology not coming to me right now).

Does using the 3.5mm jack on the back as an INPUT remove the ability to monitor the sound through headphones?

@fun_ghoul 5 лет назад

You can only use it as an input. There's a separate 3.5mm jack on the side for 'phones.

@palaHD 7 лет назад

sorry for being a noob but if i want to record a signal coming out of my souncard straight into the H4N pro via the line-in is it possible ? the specs say it has 2 xlr/line level inputs,cheers man

@TechWizTime 7 лет назад

No question is silly or noob like ;) The H4N has a 3.5mm input on the rear of the device up the top near the built in microphones. I use this to record using a Rode SmartLav+ which is 3.5mm so this is definitely possible :)

@fun_ghoul 5 лет назад

@@TechWizTime I'm gonna drop "Tip #6" on you here, friend: The XLR jacks have a hole in the middle...that's actually a sneaky 1/4" input; Zoom calls it a "combo jack". Cheers.

@marcusfoggle 5 лет назад

I like it! Just recently found out about the H4n Pro from a fellow cinematographer and will purchase soon to use for my documentary work. Really found these tips to be very helpful and will make sure I follow up by purchasing these products to help give myself more flexibility when shooting.

@supergamer761 3 года назад

The XLR jack is also a 1/4" TRS combo jack. To connect an additional 3.5mm jack, would it be better to use an XLR to 3.5mm, or a 1/4" to 3.5mm TRS?

@nomadist_eye 6 лет назад

Hey there, I really enjoyed the vid, thanks mate ! I'm wondering about the Xlr-mini jack adaptor you mentionned, is there any reason to go for that rather than a simple mini jack-regular jack that you plug directly in the XLR port ? Some audio advantage maybe or same same ? Thanks !

@fun_ghoul 5 лет назад

No advantage, buddy just didn't know about the 1/4" jacks. Shhh...

@stevejones7028 4 года назад

Hi, great video and very useful. Question is I took your recommedation of the rode smartlav + and the SC1 and SC3 leads etc. but I am not getting any sound from the mic, does it need phantom power? or do I need to do something in the menu to get the smartLav up and running. cheers, Steve

@stevejones7028 4 года назад

Apologies, ignore my question above as I have just sorted it, I forgot to turn on the plug in power!, all good now. Thanks again for the advice in your tutorial.

@timothysexton7621 6 лет назад

So I want to motovlog. Like to use a lapel mic in the helmet for voice and record the outside sounds of the motorcycle creating 2 tracks of audio which can be adjusted individually. What extra adapters and mic’s would I need for this setup? Thanks

@fun_ghoul 5 лет назад

The H4N has the 2 mics at the top, so if you can mount the unit (securely!) somewhere behind your fairing, you don't need anything. If you don't have a fairing, there will likely be unacceptable wind noise.

@c.simonis123 2 года назад

Any idea where I can find the DC to mini USB cable for connecting Zoom H4n Pro to USB power bank ? Can't find it on Amazon

@NickNCC 3 года назад

Bro, mind blown on 2&1. Much much appreciated!

@HoundDogMech 7 лет назад

Why do U have to use an adapter cable when using the rear 3.5 mm jack on the back? Can U record from that port with just any Mono lav mic? Lastly have U ever heard how one might get the H4N pro to turn on and off synced to the record button of a video camera like the Canon XA-30? I do have the corded remote. Great Video learned a lot.

Amazing review i just made the decision to buy this from Thomann germany

@MIMCKMedia 5 лет назад

can you record audio from the integrated mics + a rode video mic at same time together (stereo)?

@fun_ghoul 5 лет назад

Yes, but you can't hook the Rode up to the 3.5 on the back. Instead, use the 1/4" plug that's hidden in the middle of the XLR port (with adapter to 3.5, if need be). Happy motoring.

@IanConnel 5 лет назад

I'm considering using the H4N with a lav mic. But if I were to use it for shoots where the subject is moving around, and must carry the H4N on them, I have two concerns. 1. The H4n is bulky - where to hide it? And 2. How to prevent the STOP button from being bumped?

@fun_ghoul 5 лет назад

Dunno what you mean by "hide", but I think both problems are solved if you mount it on your hotshoe if you use a DSLR or consumer camcorder. If it's a "real" video camera, I'd probably just use 3M two-way tape and attach it wherever seems best. This is especially good if you use the power bank, because then you don't have to remove the H4N to change the batteries. Cheers. P.S. As someone who's worked as a cook and an office cleaner, I appreciate your "Corporate Health PSA" very much.

@framefilmstudio 3 года назад

Question for you. Can you record through the back input (tip #1) and still record ambient and xlr shotgun mic all at the same time? Preferably each input saved as a separate wav file 🗃️

@framefilmstudio 3 года назад

Thank you for the video btw

@DeannaRashell 5 лет назад

Can you just use the batteries in the H4N Pro or do you have to have it connected to a power pack? Thanks

@HiddenDriveways 5 лет назад

Yes, you can just use the AA batteries in the H4n Pro.

@momohayato6126 3 года назад

do you recommend it for crowded outside places? without a separate microphone?

@SajadMalmir 4 года назад

Hey dude, great vid...I was just wondering can you activate the internal mic and both xlr channels at the same time so that you are using the recorder itself to record plus another two external mics?

@kelvinalfonso21 4 года назад

Yes you can! It's the recording mode 4CH. 4 representing left and right internal mics and inputs 1 and 2.

@AxeStudios 6 лет назад

Such a great idea about using the cable to connect to the cameras microphone input, that would save so much time in post if the quality isn't affected at all, can't wait to try that! Thank you

@edwardtamayo5526 3 года назад

wow great and very handy tips ! thanks a lot sir👍👍👍 ive got some questions though, can i apply editing like reverbs and echo to my singing vocals and directly monitoring it while recording?? thanks for your answer

@crysto44 7 лет назад

So, I'm having trouble with ALL my memory cards. I see an advertisement with one supplier of accessories the SONY 32G Class 10 (1) card. This would be nice but based on the list of cards on the Zoom H4N Pro PDF this is not one of the cards they show. All their cards seen to be old and many are not even for sale on Amazon. None of those either are sent via Prime. Just curious if you'd be kind enuf to furnish a card or two you use? Thanx!I also can't see the type power cable USB type you use on Amazon. Brand and Model please? The only ones I find are shown as being for two way radios. I'm not a film person but would like to know ideas for which of the items you mention other than the microphones could be used in recording/ looping practice with an acoustic if you know please? Thanks - CJ

@Frimpeezzy 4 года назад

I think option 2 is what I need. But how do I get the audio to be recorded straight to the camera.

@gabrielvega2072 5 лет назад

Can you explain the final hack please? I’d like to be able to use my H4N pro to take audio synced with an iPhone X but don’t know how to do it.

@Beyondabsence 6 лет назад

Thank you for your tips. I will be buying this one to record solo piano music. Is it possible to use my own mics, which might be better than the ones from the recorder? How do I connect my own omnidirectional mics?

@fun_ghoul 5 лет назад

Just plug them into the bottom. The H4N even has 24V and 48V phantom power for the XLR ports, if you need it. You could also use the 3.5mm on the back, but you'd have to have a weird cable (e.g. 2x 3.5mm female mono to 1x 3.5mm male stereo) to make it work.
