Review on Portable recorder ZOOM H1n black by Hideo Ebara ᠌

The most suitable use case is for recording vocals, or speech. Here he is amazing. Not suitable for natural/natural recording. Some pros: 1. Very easy to operate 2. Compact and lightweight 3. Powered by USB (if you feel sorry for the batteries, he does not feel sorry for them at all) 4. Writes voice very well Its cons: 1. High self-noise! I planned to use it in a scenario when the camera records video (landscape, nature, birds there), and the microphone records sound. It turns out that at sensitivity < 5, the same birds in the background will be heard very poorly, and at sensitivity > 5, the noise will become very noticeable. As a result, I write at the level "4", and according to the level I "pull out" in the editors. Noise is the biggest negative for me. 2. Holding and writing is unrealistic, there will be a crash and noise on the recording. Use only on your own micro tripod or on the camera head 3. Very voracious in terms of power, although it is powered by powerbank via USB 4. Furry windshield (and his own) completely closes the sensitivity control 5. Power button, somehow uncomfortable. It is also necessary to hook this slider, pull it back, hold it - it's freezing . In a reportage recording, it's inconvenient. 6. When I bought it, it cost a little more than 10 thousand, for this money it could have been better.
