    I totally agree. I have lavs, several booms made by audio tecnica and rode. I was running them into my h4n and h1n until a few days ago. I tried them both with built in mics and was blown away. Now my h1n is mounted on my go pro for awesome results

    That was actually a very good comparison. I almost didn't watch because of your intro where you say that you are an amateur, etc. Keep in mind most people monitor youtube videos through computer monitors, so the audience is amateurs, as well. Regardless, your comp is accurate enough to reveal that the H4n Pro sounds much better than H1 in the applications you demonstrated. Well done and thanks.

    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.

With the H2N it is possible to have a 2 / 4CH surround with its integrated microphones. What do I need to do to use what advice? I register events, excursions, dialogues and film my children. Thank you

    They both have good sound (and equal white noise) not much diffrence apart from xlr inputs on h4n and some other features And the audio pre amp in h4n has more power, meaning it deliver more quiet sound from longer distance Apart from that you pretty much get the same sound from both I bought both👍 But the zoom h1n is pretty much with me all the time due to its extreme light weight

    Miles better - I read the H4n uses the H5 and H6 pre-amps, which are very low noise compared to the H1 and others presumably cheaper. I was going to buy the Rode Videomic but I just don't rate it at all after using one for a week, it's directional sure but you almost always will want something closer to the subject for dialogue, or something with less noise for ambience

    Thanks! I found a similar tripod made by Dell for one of their mini projectors. I don't think it's quite as small as yours but it looks like it will fold flat while attached to the recorder which is what I was looking for. $26.74 with tax and free 1-day shipping: www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/accessories/apd/331-3208 Here's a picture of it folded flat: i.ebayimg.com/images/g/GlkAAOSwFBRZbmB4/s-l400.jpg Thanks again!
