ZOOM F1-SP – FIELD RECORDER + MICROFONO SHOTGUN

The Zoom F1 field recorder + shotgun mic is the ultimate solution for run-and-gun filmmakers who need to capture professional quality audio for video. The F1-SP comes with the SGH-6 shotgun mic known for capturing pro-quality, hyper directional sound and it’s aluminum body makes it extremely lightweight. Combined with the F1, you can record high-resolution audio up to 24 bit/96 kHz, providing high-impact audio for any video production, at any location. The one-touch buttons make record levels, limiter settings, volume output and filter control easily accessible. The monochromatic LCD display ensures visibility even in bright sunlight. The SMF-1 shock mount excels in eliminating noise caused by vibrations when shooting on the move.

Connect the F1 and shotgun to the included shock mount and attach it to your camera. Then connect the F1’s audio output to your camera’s input using the included 3.5mm stereo cable and you’re ready to record. 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 record hold function or the hold switch can be used to prevent your subject from accidentally hitting buttons while recording. An on-board limiter and auto-level control keep your levels safe when spikes in loud volume occurs. The F1 can be powered using 2x AAA batteries (included) or with the optional AD-17 power adapter. Transfer recordings to your computer in card reader mode or record directly to your computer or iPad using the F1 in USB audio interface mode.
