Zoom F1 Field Recorder with Shotgun Microphone

The Zoom F1 Field Recorder with Shotgun Microphone allows you to capture professional audio everywhere your camera takes you. Combining a two-channel, F1 audio recorder with a directional SGH-6 shotgun microphone capsule to provide run-and-gun video makers with a flexible solution for capturing high-quality audio for video. It features a lightweight and low-profile design, and attaches to the camera via the included SMF-1 shockmount, which eliminates unwanted thumping sounds caused by vibrations when shooting on the go. 

The F1 is equipped with a stereo 1/8" mic/line input that delivers plug-in power to small microphones, and a proprietary 10-pin connector that is compatible with all Zoom microphone capsules. It records high-resolution audio up to 24 bit/96 kHz, providing high-impact audio for any video production. While recording to your camera, the F1 can also record to a microSD card, providing a stereo audio file which can be edited in post-production. The unit offers a series of one-touch buttons that give you quick access to record level, limiter control, lo-cut filter, and volume output as well as an 1/8" stereo phone/line output jack with a dedicated volume control, and a monochromatic LCD display, which is easy to read even in bright sunlight.

The recorder comes with essential features for videographers including a tone generator for setting levels, sound markers for aligning audio and video, an on-board limiter to keep your levels in check when loud spikes in volume occur, and a Rec Hold function to avoid accidental operation of buttons. A micro-USB port is available for data exchange to and from a computer, as well as for use as an audio interface with a computer or iOS device.

The F1 utilizes two standard AAA alkaline, Lithium, or NiMH rechargeable batteries, or an AD-17 AC adapter (available separately), and offers a run time of up to 6.5 hours with alkaline batteries when using the shotgun mic. The unit ships with a windshield and a stereo cable to connect the recorder to the audio input of the camera.
