The Zoom F1 field recorder and Shotgun Mic is the ultimate solution for run-and-gun filmmakers who need to capture professional quality audio for video.
SGH-6 Shotgun Microphone
The SGH-6 Shotgun Microphone has an aluminum body, which is lightweight yet durable, and records high-resolution audio up to 24 bit/96 kHz, providing high impact audio for any video production.
SMF-1 Shock Mount
Setup is designed to be quick and easy. The included SMF-1 shock mount connects the DSLR to the microphone and eliminates unwanted thumping sounds caused by vibrations when shooting on the move. The F1’s audio output connects to the camera’s input using the included 3.5mm stereo cable, and while recording, the F1 can also record to a microSD card, providing a separate stereo audio file that provides flexibility in post-production. The Zoom F1 recorder features a sound marker function that outputs quick tone to make syncing audio and video easy.
One-Touch Controls
Surrounding the LCD display are one-touch controls to make record levels, limiter settings, lo-cut filter and volume output easily accessible. Other features include a tone generator, sound markers, USB connectivity and more. The F1 Field Recorder can record audio in both WAV and MP3 formats, WAV files are automatically time-stamped, making them Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) compliant.
LCD Display
New to the F1 Field Recorder is a freshly designed 1.25-inch monochromatic LCD display that ensures readability even in direct sunlight. The user can monitor levels, battery life, lo-cut settings and more.
Power
The F1 is powered by two AAA Alakaline (included), Lithium or MiMH rechargeable batteries or with the optional AD-17 power adapter.
Connect
The F1 Field Recorder and Shotgun Mic is the latest addition to the Zoom mic ecosystem, using a proprietary 10-pin connector to make the F1 compatible with all of Zoom's interchangeable mic capsules providing options for any recording situation.
