Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

I bought it at the price of zoom h2n and if it were not for the price of 13k instead of 18,000 at that time I would not have dared. I’m thinking for now which capsule to take for it. 360, a gun or XY from H6
So far, I remembered to throw. below there is a picture there are a few more notes from the margins

I found my video of 2022 reuploaded on youtube.

The recorder was sold because it turned out to be redundant for me.

Pros

The sound is better compared to the zoom h2. that through the capsule, that through the buttonholes 3.5 Autonomy - 13 hours keeps exactly (XLR working, but there is nothing to check it yourself) Only 2 batteries (GP 2 700 mAh and Apple battery 1 900) . so Weight - much lighter than the H6 . how much does the weight of the six with a capsule and with 4 AAA? "Eternal" work from a power bank (it's better to insert charged batteries just in case) Comfortable and pleasant to the touch body . as a glove lies in the hands. Screen thank God b / w, does not glare in the sun, on top of the case Separate line out output and headphone output (that's why I didn't take Zoom h4n / pro) - separately 1 wire to the camera and 1 wire to the headphones separately. The protection of the "twists" on the case and the complete capsule is a bomb! You hang a recorder around your neck and nothing changes (I know about Hold)

Cons

I recommend immediately sealing the screen with a protective film => scratches like the back of an iPod Classic. They immediately bought it, immediately pasted it on the screen of the khan. The supplied capsule is "quiet" and only has a 90 degree fixed angle. Plus, I can’t check its “vibration protection” in any way . there are no other capsules, and the zoom h2 is broken The built-in speaker is practically useless outdoors => quiet as flooded water The built-in compressor puts a lot of pressure on the sound. I don’t know anything about the frequency response and other terrible words, but there is a difference “on the ears” with the previous Zoom h2 . The side buttons and latches play and walk like a piece of Chinese => I feel like the old Zoom H4n will look like ebay - the part will break off When working from a power bank, it is better to leave the batteries in the case. Otherwise, during a power surge or discharge of an external battery, you may lose the device. It happened to me and the device "came to life" only after 3 days - I thought I would have to drag it to the service The type of batteries (batteries or alkaline) is better to set immediately
