One of many advantages of this recorder is that I can mount it on my camera rig as well separate from my camera specially on interviews (with an external mic) or when recording live music events. This model in particular offers a great value for the price.

Doing full-time video and photography there are a lot of items you should have with you to make sure you're able to catch every moment, and some people tend to forget how important audio is! This has been a perfect sidekick for my Foley and other audio capturing needs. It's amazing, the quality you get from this tiny mic is insane for the price! Definitely a 10 out of 10 recommend!

Light weight to carry around. Don't think it could take a pounding due to all plastic. But recording with built in mic or attached mic works good. Menu is hard to workwith but gets the job done. The x/y microphone works well for getting two people recorded. Did well in inrerview that took place in crowded space. Although loud back ground noise it picked up our voices clearly.

I just bought this, and I suppose maybe it's made for more creative endeavors like folks who record music and then use fancy-schmancy stuff to clean the recordings up. Meanwhile, I ordered it as an alternative to using the recorder on my cell to do a bunch of focus groups. So far, based on the first two recordings, the recorder picks up more background noise than anything -- which I'm hoping can be muffled with the wind reduction item I just bought (but picking up background noise over voices indoors is not quite the same). I'm a bit surprised this is happening and haven't yet found a solution online, such as perhaps altering the sensitivity? Or, a dumb-person's guide to editing without hundreds of dollars of software? We shall see. For now, let's say it's average, when it may be anywhere from a lemon to something amazing IF you have the right supplementary software and skills.

DI recommended this product over the less expensive ones but at the bottom of the upper line models. It's perfect for my use of nursing school. The sound is great, not too difficult to use and the microSD card is a must.

I bought this recorder to record my DJ mixes rather than use the internal mix recorder function of my DJing software. It has an 1/8 inch earbud-style stereo input that I use to get sound from my DJ controller to the Zoom H1n recorder. It works great. It will take a minute to get the input levels set right. It does a fine job of recording mixes. The bonus is that it also has some nice mics on board you can use to grab samples to use in your production work.

light and easy to use - sound is respectable. Setup is a bit cryptic.

Much needed upgrade to the H1 model. A better build quality makes this feel more sturdy in your hand. The handling noise while recording is way reduced. I have the H1 also and this was always a problem when using it as a handheld mic. It is slightly bigger the the H1 but still able to fit in a pocket. I've used the H1N and the H1 with a Rode smartlav+ lavalier mic and a handheld condenser microphone both work using the correct adapter. (trrs to trs) this eliminates the handling noise.
