If you're thinking about purchasing the free to use sounds library, I highly recommend it after purchasing it for my own projects. Clean recordings, a lot of variety and it's good to support indie's.
Never realized how much work and passion goes into the sound design of all the media we consume till I came across your channel. It’s honestly beautiful. Love the work you’re doing here!
I’ve been to several of the locations you featured in the video and I think your sounds brought back memories of Bangkok more than seeing pictures or video. It’s wonderful what we can do now with the most ‘basic’ tools.
Hello, thank you for sharing. I recently purchased the H1n, but I'm still not familiar with adjusting the settings to capture nature sounds. Could you please share some tips on that?
Maybe my H1N is defective, but I have found it to be fairly noisy. I am generally recording quiet subjects in natural areas, such as birds in the distance or a gentle rain, but there is a noticeable preamp hiss anytime the gain gets over 5.
Mine has the same problem if it wasn't for that audible hiss the recordings would be usable. It is a very cheap unit for what it potentially can do, so it might be down to luck, getting a fully working unit.
This is amazing, thank you so much. I bought the H1 essential and trying to record things, quality is pretty decent but i'm having problems with handling noise, I'm monitoring sound through headphones and basically I need to stand completely still otherwise I can't tapping noise either from headphone cable or from the recorder's body. Any tips for that? Thank you so much again :)
I’ve had the Zoom H1 for so long. Also own the H4n which is my primary recorder. I always like audio editing and feel it so rewarding with the right audio
I like that I can take this as is as a simple setup...or since it has P.I.P power, I can plugin in some innexpensive Lom mics or EC272's for considerably higher quality recordings.
I’ve been always fascinated by nature sounds and been searching for a great affordable sound recorder until Zoom h1n seems to fit my work as a new TH-camr. Thank you for this review of H1n really helped to understand this device. Subscribed to appreciate your great creativity.
I don't have to remove noise because I don't record it but if I feel like removing some noise, I just use the Denoiser from Bertom. Its basic and good.
Was looking for examples of fieldrecordings in general, the Zoom H1N in particular. Ended up finding this awesome video with sounds from my favourite country, Thailand!
Thanks you so much for sharing this feedback about the zoom H1 performance. One question : from a pure sound quality point of view, how do you compare it with the h6 ?
Hi Marcel and Libby! I use the suspension of the rycote also on the H1n zoom even if without it it is less cumbersome (handling noises are always annoying with these hand recorders). At 11:14 you risked roasting the windjammer with the blaze. Beautiful scenarios in Bangkok
I have the same device h1n. After a couple months, it started to make random click sounds internally. And lately it started to make a lot of buzzing sounds which makes the recordings completely useless. No matter I changed the settings it never got well again.
Hi from Bangkok, the section of Chinatown is so amazing 🤩. I just found your channel and also the sound recording. Very interesting and thank you for your great works.
I’ve been following you guys travel the world for years now, overly jealous but thankful! Best foley out there.. Keep up the good work and thanks! We don’t have many releases out there that don’t include an FTU sample in some form or another.
hi there, really love your videos and been following your contents. I have a zoom h1n as well and i was wondering what settings to use to capture busy city sounds. your video sounds from h1n feels buttery smooth, but mine comes with static noise or something. thanks
Very helpful video ! Well over a year ago I've been watching videos of a guy who is hiking and camping in the wild places, his adventures was one thing but the quality of sounds of nature in his videos was something what really made me watching his work with real pleasure. Since then I became very passionate about field recording, however after finding out what equipement he is using I though... well... maybe one day... recorders, microphones and all equipement worth thousands of dollars/pounds. While doing my research I found your channel and been following since. Few days ago after watching couple times some of your latest videos I finally decided to order my first recorder - Zoom H1N, I am very excited to get into my new hobby and I have to say it wouldn't happen without your excellent content !! Thank you ! PS. Videography on your channel is now at the same high standard and quality as sound effects you are recording ;) All the best !
Hi Paul! This is correct but wait for the next video tonight. We bought the A7iv. Really beautiful camera and the details are much better in low light too. For the lens we used 16-35mm
Hi, if connect external stereo mics to the line in of zoom h1n (for example lom usi) is the preamp noise lower than using the built in XY zoom h1n mics? Thx

Shalom Hope all is well with you I have started field recordings of rain and ocean. What are the best setting to use recording thoes sounds using the h1n
Hey Marcel, I have just become interested in sound design for my nature photography videos and I just found your channel. I have the Zoom hn1 and you have given me hope in using it to enhance my videos. I no nothing about recording sound and only use a basic video program. But you have inspired me to try with what I have. I feel overwhelmed and not sure where to begin. A contract microphone looks interesting. Do you have ideas on recording insects and nature sounds? Say'in hey... Greg
Hello, just subscribed, good channel! I want to ask a simple question. Can we attach any external mic easily to Zoom H8? Like Rode NTG4? And do i need a external microphone for dialogue recording? I know filmmakers use ''shotgun'' microphones for dialogue recording. So as a wanna-be filmmaker, i need to buy two things, one shotgun mic and one zoomH8 for my audio production in general right? Thanks!
Well, that is something you can't avoid if you create it. The microphones are very sensitive and they pick up every movement. That is why I either place the recording and don't move or walk around with it. That is how you can avoid that from happening.
thanks for a great video....i was curious...is the sound quality much better if I record with the Zoom H1n separately (not connected to mirrorless camera via 3.5mm mic jack) ?
Hello, I wanted to use Zoom h1n with a gimbal but it is so sensitive gimbal passes the noise of holding and moving it in hands. I use shock mount but it still passes the noise. What can I plug between gimbal and zoom? Is there a 1/4" shock mount to place it between zoom and gimabl?
@@FreeToUseSounds I have Smooth 4, with Eachshot 4-ring cold shoe adapter on it. Then I have Zoom h1n in the Movo SMM2 Microphone Shock Mount and attached it to the Eachshot 4-ring cold show adapter.
Hmm not sure if you could balance the gimbal with that. I guess you can't use the gimbal in full swing because it would hit the H1n when attached to the camera?
@@FreeToUseSounds actually it doesn’t touch at all. The only problem with this setup is that the zoom is picking up the noise of handling/holding the gimbal, and I can’t think of anything that would prevent that.
@@FreeToUseSounds oh okay. You have a lot of experience with different products in different weather conditions, what would you recommend for recording sea waves when it’s windy? Something portable and under 1.500€. I don’t have the budget yet for the Cinela with Sennheiser microphones combo.
When you've got good sound levels, almost any set of mics will perform well. What do you think of the new TASCAM Portacapture X8 that was recently announced? Larger-diaphragm mics with 32-bit float recording seems to be a nice option for low-volume nature ambiances.
Hi Alan, that is 100 percent correct and yes I heard about the X8 and was going to purchase it but its not available in Thailand yet. Pre Order price is $620 told me a music store. Not sure when @TASCAM Official is able to ship them to Thailand.
Saw that a few days ago and looks super interesting. I'm not in USA but I did see B+H currently have a page up for it but no fixed delivery date. Their price is 499 USD. They say delivery is end of December. Can't wait to see the first hands-on reviews.
@@cryptotrader2779 You can find some reviews already on TH-cam about this recorder. The price is cheaper in the US for this recorder but that is before tax. Here in Thailand I get tax back so it might end up the same.
@@FreeToUseSounds Thanks Marcel. I'm in Switzerland and one shop also has a page for it at 489 Swiss Francs, which is only about $18 more expensive than the US. I'll check out the reviews on TH-cam. Thanks as always.

@@Sj-yf2jg I always record in 96 24 but the gain is always different depending on the situation. I do mentioned in on the bridge if you haven't noticed.
Great video, I just got the H1n today and tested it, amazing results for such a low price. I got a question, did you shoot this video with iPhone 13? if so, can you share the settings? I`m thinking of using Gopro for action scenes and iPhone 13 for all else, for simplicity`s sake.
Hi someone can answer that? It's possible to make my zoom h1n as wireless mic, so, conecting the zoom h1n on the transmiter of rode wireless go (example) and the receiver on the camera. Instead to use the little mic on the transmiter of rode wireless go I'll use all the great quality of the XY mic of zoom h1n?
@@FreeToUseSounds thank you. It a great subject to make a video about it to, because I search this on youtube and I found no one talking about. If it's possible the possibilities are endless. You will have a great audio recorder for ambience sound wireless and you we be free to flight with your cam without interfering on yhe audio quality or level as soon you are moving with your camera. Like, strategicly place the zoom h1n conected with wireless transmiter mic on the subject are you recording (People, objetcs etc) and you are free to move around with your camera without interfering on the audio level or quality. And all this will be recorded internally on the camera due the receiver will be connected on the camera, and you save time for post processing, not necessary to sinc the audio in post.
@@rafael.gazoni Hi Rafael. So the H1n is acting like a lavalier and I just tried it out and it works :)) I make a reel about it. All you need is another 3.5 to 3.5 mini jack cable:)
@@FreeToUseSounds holy shi.... thank you so much. I'll check your reel. Now I'll spent money on a wireless mic. I'm brazilian and these equipments here a so expensive. But on the aliexpress has a synco G2 A2, what can you say about it? This is the less expensive wireless mic on the market I think.
I really like watching/listening to yours videos. I watched this on TV and the footage was really nice, good job Libby(don't know whether you used new camera/lens/color grading, but for me it was like watching promo video in some shop store with tv's :)). Keep doing what you're doing.
Hi ihr beiden. I found your channel and loved it instantly. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I tried out the H1N by myself recently. I like the lightweight and small size, but unfortunately I always have very much white noise in my records of ambient sounds when recording nature sounds like birds. Especially when I plugin headphones (ATH M30x) the noise is extremely dominating over the sound I want to record. Did I just got a bad device or is this normal? Anyway love your work and purchased your sound library! 👍🙂
Hi there! Hmm not sure but don't push the gain to high. Just lower it until you don't here the noise anymore and see how it sounds. If you bought the All in One Bundle please send me an email because I can give you another coupon code to access the brand new sound collection on Gumroad. Thank you for your support!! :)
I know this is a late reply but for anyone wondering, the intrusive noise is not normal. On my first H1n I was also disappointed with a high level of self noise and sent a sample in to Zoom and the retailer who replaced the unit with one that works properly with very low noise
If you're thinking about purchasing the free to use sounds library, I highly recommend it after purchasing it for my own projects. Clean recordings, a lot of variety and it's good to support indie's.

Hi Prio! Thank you so much and these sounds are all original. I just changed the gain on a few files.
what are the record time settings? like gain,
The time was set to Bangkok time :)
@@FreeToUseSounds No no not time, i ment record bit rate, input gain level
@@Sj-yf2jg I always record in 96 24 but the gain is always different depending on the situation. I do mentioned in on the bridge if you haven't noticed.
@@FreeToUseSounds oooo, thank you for your reply bro 😊
Great video, I just got the H1n today and tested it, amazing results for such a low price. I got a question, did you shoot this video with iPhone 13? if so, can you share the settings? I`m thinking of using Gopro for action scenes and iPhone 13 for all else, for simplicity`s sake.
We did use some footage from the iPhone 13. Settings are 4K and 30 frames per second but we shot the most part on the A7iii.
You always surprise me. I have the same tripod and never realised until I saw your video that it also acts as a boom. As Homer would say "DOH!"
Schließt du den Recorder an deine Kamera an oder Syncst du das im nachhinein ?
Immer in post.
@@FreeToUseSounds immer in Post? Was soll das heißen? 😅

Hi someone can answer that? It's possible to make my zoom h1n as wireless mic, so, conecting the zoom h1n on the transmiter of rode wireless go (example) and the receiver on the camera. Instead to use the little mic on the transmiter of rode wireless go I'll use all the great quality of the XY mic of zoom h1n?
Hi Rafael! That is a great question and let me try this tomorrow morning and I let you know.
@@FreeToUseSounds thank you. It a great subject to make a video about it to, because I search this on youtube and I found no one talking about. If it's possible the possibilities are endless. You will have a great audio recorder for ambience sound wireless and you we be free to flight with your cam without interfering on yhe audio quality or level as soon you are moving with your camera. Like, strategicly place the zoom h1n conected with wireless transmiter mic on the subject are you recording (People, objetcs etc) and you are free to move around with your camera without interfering on the audio level or quality. And all this will be recorded internally on the camera due the receiver will be connected on the camera, and you save time for post processing, not necessary to sinc the audio in post.
@@rafael.gazoni Hi Rafael. So the H1n is acting like a lavalier and I just tried it out and it works :)) I make a reel about it. All you need is another 3.5 to 3.5 mini jack cable:)
@@FreeToUseSounds holy shi.... thank you so much. I'll check your reel. Now I'll spent money on a wireless mic. I'm brazilian and these equipments here a so expensive. But on the aliexpress has a synco G2 A2, what can you say about it? This is the less expensive wireless mic on the market I think.
@@FreeToUseSounds Where did you posted the reel? Instagram or TH-cam shorts? I've searched but not found.
I really like watching/listening to yours videos. I watched this on TV and the footage was really nice, good job Libby(don't know whether you used new camera/lens/color grading, but for me it was like watching promo video in some shop store with tv's :)). Keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you so much and we still use the same camera but shooting in 4K now. Since we bought the M1, editing 4K footage is at ease. :)
love this one
Thank you!
Hi ihr beiden. I found your channel and loved it instantly. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I tried out the H1N by myself recently. I like the lightweight and small size, but unfortunately I always have very much white noise in my records of ambient sounds when recording nature sounds like birds. Especially when I plugin headphones (ATH M30x) the noise is extremely dominating over the sound I want to record. Did I just got a bad device or is this normal?
Anyway love your work and purchased your sound library! 👍🙂
Hi there! Hmm not sure but don't push the gain to high. Just lower it until you don't here the noise anymore and see how it sounds. If you bought the All in One Bundle please send me an email because I can give you another coupon code to access the brand new sound collection on Gumroad. Thank you for your support!! :)
I know this is a late reply but for anyone wondering, the intrusive noise is not normal. On my first H1n I was also disappointed with a high level of self noise and sent a sample in to Zoom and the retailer who replaced the unit with one that works properly with very low noise
What do you think about wind protection that came from zoom H1n APH? Btw awesome vid. You really motivated me brah!
I’m not sure if it comes with wins protection. You mean the foam? That good indoors but for outdoors I only use Rycote.
