To turn the Zoom H1 and H1n into an on camera mic, you only need the following items: amzn.to/2FXAbg4 and amzn.to/2IfLIt3

thanks for the video! Could you explain how to do this with the Zoom H1.

Since you can't press play and stop on that one (There's only a play button)

@@LouiseVanAssche Ya, the H1 can't do a test tone. You'll have to experiment to find the idea level.

THANKS! this really helps me a lot because i'm a freelance videographer and i've been having trouble with bad sound quality from my on-board camera microphone, especially on weddings and corporate events.

This is on point, zero fluff and easy to understand. Thank you sir.

Oh my god. Thank you, John. you will never know how much you helped me with this great video! Keep up the great work!

Hi John, listen to your review yesterday make me bought H1n today...now I am following your instruction, connecting with my Nikon cam.

This is quite excellently explained. I'm a total noob at this just looking to understand first of all what I need and how these things work. It makes perfect sense and it's a good demo as well, thank you.

Thank you John I wish more external mic videos were this straight foward man

The safety track info was exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks.

Very helpful video 👍

I keep watching John I'm learning so much from your great video tuts 😁

Yo John, you Rock my Friend!!! Exactly what I needed to see and understand. I subscribed and set the Bell to ALL. Keep up the great work. Thanks, Geno

Thank you John for this very detailed video !

John this is exactly the setup I was looking for as I already have the Zoom Hn1 mic, very well explained I didn't know about the pass through to the camera. You saved me a lot of money, thanks! Took me about 2 mins to get everything working with my Sony A7III, the tip for the Zoom audio signal generator was awesome. This video +100.

Great video. I Just got a h1n. Thank you for the straight to the point, easy to understand video 🙏

I love your deep toned voice for reviews. Wow thank u sir

very informative video he touched on most of my questions for using the zoom as better sound quality recorder

Your video is just so so helpful, thank you. I'm learning so much. Just before I watched your video, I literally just bought the H1N and was thinking so hard if I have to spend on the Video Mic Pro Plus too. Luckily I didn't. I'll do your method first!

Thanks for the useful tips, especially with the camera and microphone settings. I found it helpful.

Thanks for making this easy to understand video. 🙏

Great video. That was an eye opener to me. Thank you so much. Andreas (from Berlin, Germany)

The test -6db function is new to me. Thanks and great video.

Thanks a lot. You saved me. I was frustrated trying to sync this to my camera until I found this video of yours, very helpful. 👍👍👏

Thank you. Tried it with my Canon T3i - works perfectly. With the "Lantern Firmware" you can also use a common Headphone. So you can control the input like a "Pro" .

Very clear & thorough, thanks a lot!

This is really clever! Great feature. I've been fighting with shotgun mics for a little while now. Affordable consumer mics just aren't that good, and there's a huge leap in quality and price between consumer shotguns and professionally oriented gear. The backup recording on top of the direct feed is a nice convenience, too! So far I've hooked up to my Panasonic HCV770. For that, I recommend turning the internal camcorder levels all the way down to -30. -27 should be okay but you'll start getting some preamp hiss at that point. This camcorder is super sensitive in that regard. For the H1n's LINE OUT level, I set it at 22, and then the gain at 8. With that I was able to get good capture from subjects nearby but also minimize the preamp hiss. Depending on your needs you should be able to use a little more gain or a little more LINE OUT volume and only take on an editable amount of hiss.

Really helpful, clear and precise thank you.

Great tips. I never knew about the test tone.

Thank you very much my friend, this was really useful for me

Learned something with the audio adjustments. Thanks!

Oh my god, this is what I want to see. good job and Thank you

Great simple practical instructions… nice

Just ordered a part through your link. Hope it helps your channel. I’m currently looking at DSLR cameras and u just made it easy to find what I needed for my Zoom H1N mic to attach to my G0Pr09. Great Video!

Just wanted to let you know that the link you attached is currently unavailable. “Valley Enterprises 3.5mm Male Right Angle to 3.5mm Male Right Angle Audio Cable, Length 6 Inches“ Not sure if selecting another link from that product still helps ur channel. Just a heads up. 🤙🏼

The blue version is so cool. Useful video!

Excellent explanation. Thank you!

Great, thanks! Exactly the information I was looking for

Thank you John! This video very informative ! Love it!!

Good video, very helpful, thanks.

You make some amazing content, unique and useful

Many thanks for this tutorial, especially the part where you explain how to calibrate to your camera using the test tone.

The TEST TONE trick is a total game changer - thanks!

Good sir. Thanks for this video.

Very cool ! Well explained ! Thank you for sharing !

Thanks for the video. Very useful tips !

This is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!😍🥰

Very helpful video. Thank you!

Don't forget the clap at the beginning of your filming, it will makes it easier at editing stage to sync as you will see a big spike in the drawing of your waveform when your hands join & clap. Beware of possible drift over a recording lasting a long long time.

Great video super informative

very very use full for audio recording

Thank you very much. Great stuff!!!

Excellent John, really good & easy to understand video. Thanks for taking the time to create & upload it 🙂I'd never thought of using my H1n like this, instead always fiddling about with external mics' & the usually poor internal amps' of cameras. Only problem, well not so much a problem, more an irritation really(!) is my Panasonic GH2 & FZ200 use silly little 2.5mm jacks! Not an issue to hook up, but I just find Panasonic's decision to use this tiny little, non-standard, size ridiculous. Anyway, achieved your suggested results (with the right cable!) & very happy, thanks, take care, A 🙂

Very good my friend, good job

very good review, thank you as i didn't know the output signal should be matched with camera.. I also find i am using the same tripod as yours:-)

thanks for this video :)

Thanks for your video congratulations I learned a lot I subscribed to your channel success

thank you!!

excellent thank you!!

Great video John! Can you please do a video using the Zoom on a iPhone X please. I’m confused on which patch cable to purchase

Perfect video!

Thank you

Thank. ...Mister. ...it is always interesting...to have the (knowleldge ) of each one..I AM terrified. .. to see all the progress

sou seu fã ....from Brazil

Thank you.so much!!!

Thx you👍

Thanks

very nice video, for short films I think we should use boom pole to bring zoom closer - what long wire has to be bought for that, and will this make his or cracking sound if boom operator / boom pole moves a bit while shooting

Great video, thanks! Parts ordered..;-))

You answered my question perfectly - can I record on the zoom and my camera at the same time. Yes I can. Thank you!

Great lesson, i own Tascam DR10l and am using it same way on my X-T3 (Tascam is connected to Røde Videomicro). Only thing is i dont know how to make -6db or-12db constant beep in order to adjust volume. Audio quality is way better that way.

Great video, very informative ! Thank you so much ! 👍🏼 I'm gonna try this on my Lumix GX8 camera (with very poor built-in microphone), so I can finally achieve decent ukulele videos, lol.

Hi, John! Thank you for the video! Very useful! I'm using the Magic Lantern, do you know if it changes something for the volume calibration? I know that Magic Lantern allows me to use the original camera mic in one channel and the output signal from external mic in other. Instead of calibration by -6db, do you know if would be a good idea to compare both sides of the signal and uses it as reference?

Thank you for the great explanation! I have a zoom HN1 iand so i dont need to buy another Mic plus getting a safety track!

thank you so much very helpfull.. the zoom is not as cumbersome and heavy on the front of the camera ..and easier to carry

I've found that adjusting the mic level to -12 db from the camera is the best option with lumix g7. Other g7 owneres: Lemme know if you found something better

Great video and now I know what that 1kHz signal was for. I calibrated my X-S10 and I'm right in the sweet spot now. Question: The H1n ships with two sets of stereo mini cables. One for Fuji Sony and Panasonic etc. and the other for Canon and Nikon. Can you explain the difference between the cables?

U r a game changer
