Handy compact recorder
damondimento78 19.01.2021
This is my second one, I bought the other kit also-which includes the shotgun mic.

There is no material difference between the two. The other kit includes a shockmount (which doesn't do much tbh). This one has a belt clip.

The good: Compact, lightweight, pretty good sound with a little hiss and a slight tendency to pick up radio interference (modem and phone interference). Uses two AAA batteries and battery life is not bad, maybe 2-3 hours of continuous use.

The bad: Limited gain control (external mics have a manual dial for adjustment, but the lav mic uses the recorders built in gain controls)
Unwieldy menus
Really susceptible to handling noise. As mentioned, the shockmount which comes with the shotgun mic kit does very little to reduce handling noise. If you are using this recorder with the various zoom mics, I would say that fitting a handle or mini tripod is essential, and even then you will still get noise. This recorder doesn't have a tripod fitting.

Build quality- the main body is fairly solid, there are parts of metal alloy and plastic. The let down is that the battery compartment door and memory card door are flimsy and soft, and they are held in place by a tiny, flexible arm of soft plastic which doesn't inspire confidence.

Overall, it's not bad. If you are handling and using it carefully and not trying to record very quiet ambience, then you will be ok.

I expected much less noise
Kyho 23.01.2022
I needed an optional and super compact recorder for room and a lav. Since the F2 wasnt available and our of budget I went with this one, also for the exchangable capsules. The F1 is quite noisy, I dont know why the manufacturer cant make it less obviously noisy. And non of the reviews online was even slightly pointing it out. Maybe I got a faulty one. Unfortunately I had no time to send it back. I found out that at least with the limiter turned off its usable. The capsules are great. I was very disappointed thought that the minijack input for the mic is not a stereo line input. I had to buy the 2 XLR combo capsule to use the F1 how I needed it. A shame. All in all still a good device, easy to use.

In Zoom we trust!
Lomber 27.06.2021
I already own an H6. This was for an even more compact situation with lavalier mics.
I bought it to use it with the capsules from H6. Works like a charm. Nice handling. Good life battery. Great overall as expected

Amazing quality for such a small recorder
LorenzoVL 11.04.2020
I have a lot of more high end recorders, but this on blew my mind. Good sound quality for the money! It's extremely small and lightweight, so ideal for more stealthy recordings. The lav that comes with the recorder isn't the greatest, but you when you hook it up with some Sanken or Sennheiser MKE, it's an amazing tool. Would certainly recommend!
