I guess you have to experiment and see what works best with your particular setup. When I made this video I used a Sony a7iii and that level produced the best result, thanks.👌

​@florinG it worked with volume 60 mic 60 😊

Hi, that may potentially add noise, but don’t think it will cause damage to it, thanks.

I’ll be honest it’s just sitting in my drawer haven’t played with it much, some complain that the preamps are no better than those of the h4n Pro, but even so it is improved over the h4n pro in other areas, so I think it’s a good buy. I’ll be making a video about it soon, cheers.

I’ll consider it, thanks.

Hi, do you mean connect to a camera that’s equipped with xlr ports?

@@florinG yeah like a H4N connect it to a MKE 600 then a 3.5mm TRS six cable to the back of the H4N then the other end of the cable to the microphone slot

@@eontiveros32yes, actually I made a video like that, follow this link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpTQhqF-gMl9r5o .

@@florinG if I were to connect some headphones to the H4N would that be the exact sound once I post it to KZbin or would it change after I post it?

In my case for voice recordings( dialogues etc) for the most part it sounds the same, but there is a compression when you render your audio and there’s a compression from KZbin as well. Rendering AAC 320kb/sec usually sounds good. I’d say experiment with a a few samples, and if you’re dissatisfied, then you could explore this topic more, as well as lossless rendering/mastering etc.

Hi, don’t think it’s designed to work like that. I’m not saying it doesn’t work, because I haven’t tried it but it’s very unlikely. If it was meant to work that way then Tascam would be the first to mention it, as far as I’m aware it can only be used as an audio interface with mobile phones/tablets or pc/mac, thanks.

No problem 😊

Thanks 👍

Thanks 👌

Hi, yes that’s the only one compatible ( second version) as far as I’m aware. It syncs with the Seconic L858 provided the L858 is equipped with a Godox module, thanks.

@@florinG thank you for your kind response ❤️ One more request 😀 Shall I keep that Legacy option in the X Pro II N, "On" or " Off" ?

@@ranjankmsphotography for regular use , I would keep it off, keeping it on disables TTL, and HSS. Now you may be wondering when should you turn it on. You may need it on for fast repetitive burst shots or with cameras that have no Multi Interface hot shoe. In other words most of the times you don't need it on, thanks.

@@florinG Well explained 👍 Now it's absolutely clear to me 😀 I will use X Pro II N with my D850 & Z9, so most if the time I will keep it off only. Thanks a lot ❤️

Thanks.

It’s pretty straight forward, nothing than can damage the camera 👌

@@florinG thank you for replying

Thanks✌️

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks 🙏

You're welcome!

Hi, the only manual available, is the one that comes with the flash I’m afraid.

@@florinG thank you 🙏🏼!

I’ve never come across one that was, all my ones are Thailand except my 135 which is made in China. It should be normal after all Sony is a Japanese company. As far as I know a great part of their products are manufactured in Thailand now as they moved production from China, but also in Japan of course.

Hi, yes, true the modifiers on the V1 are very useful, I do however have an adapter I use on the V860 and allows me to use the modifiers for the v1, it cost me only 7£, similar to this one : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265563260215?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=I-88x7ayReu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=dH95ykkhSPW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY, thanks.

Thanks✌️

Hi, yes, all the microphones that I have used and had 3.5mm TRS connection required ~5V plug in power, however I have not tried all possible mics out there and there are exceptions but for the most part they do require power. As for which of the two is the better one they’re not very different, that said the pro provides a balanced output, providing a cleaner output in situations where there may be interference, thanks.

@@florinG Thank you so much

Thanks 👍

I have used a dummy battery for years and never had an issue with it. Provided it’s a good quality one I think it should be fine. I believe Sony makes one as well. If you want to be sure your camera won’t sustain any damage from it, then perhaps you can go for the Sony one, it will however be more pricey.

@@florinGgracias saludos 🎉🎉😊

You’re welcome ✌️

CP✌️

Hi, the plug should have around 31mm(1.2 inch) in lenght and 6.35mm (1/4 inch) width. If yours is the same size and wont go all the way fully make sure there's nothing jammed in the socket, if it still doesn't go in there may be a problem with your recorder, cheers.

@@florinG i just had to push a little harder than what im usually comfortable with. Its just a really snug fit but its the right cable and it works.

Thanks ✌️

It works with both, can’t remember if it makes any difference in terms of noise, but it works with both. As a rule of thumb household electricity is ac( alternating current) and anything the comes from batteries, power banks, etc is dc( direct current). I’d be more concerned about finding something that’s around 5V-2Amp. Those cables that fit the power supply can be found on eBay/ Amazon. They are called ‘USB Type A to 4.0 x 1.7mm Barrel Jack Connector ‘ here are some links >> Amazon link: amzn.eu/d/fQCxeaT , EBay link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134953421677?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=TrmQ51h5R1u&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=dH95ykkhSPW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY. Thanks 👌

At moment the only camera I have available to test it with is zv-e1 my A7iv is not available. As far as compatibility information from the manufacturer they do not mention any Sony camera beyond a7riii/a7iii. When I tested it on my a7iv it did not work. I will update you when I find out more, thanks.

@@florinG Even better, because your ZV-E1 is the same generation as my a7R V with the same hardware (BIONZ XR and AI processor + same firmware). So if it will work with the ZV-E1 with AF-C at least, it should also work on the a7R V and most likely also other models of that generation. It's said that it will only work exclusively with phase-AF on the a7 IV. The AF-C is pure phase-AF, while AF-S is contrast and phase combined.

I have tried it on the ZV-E1 and it does work in continuous AF it's a bit slow but does work it even picks up the eye, but only in photography. when used in video it automatically turns to MF and if try to switch to other focus modes while in video it says !LENS Invalid with this lens. Hope this helps, thanks.

@@florinG Great news. I've ordered the adapter and will try it with the a7R V, so the big brother of yours. I don't care about the speed as long as it's working (I've heard only the latest firmware slows down the AF). What I'm more curious about is: Does it even focus well at the edges and corners? One general issue with Sony cameras is, that most adapters only focus well in the mid frame/center but don't work in edges and corners. I have a Techart LM-EA9 manual lens autofocus adapter that makes allmost all manual and vintage lenses become autofocus lenses (with limited focus range, so you must prefocus a bit with long (over ~50mm) and wide aperture (depends on focal lengh, Helios 44-2 works perfectly) lenses). It only works in AF-S and AF-C, only in photo mode and only focusing well in the mid frame. Another Viltrox Canon EF adapter also only focuses well in the mid frame. At least even if the Commlight would focus only in the mid frame with my Nikon 135mm F2 DC, it's still somehow usable with the full autofocus range with some limitations. But it would be great, if it works in the edges and corners as well. I really love that DC lens. For now it works almost perfect in the center and very limited focus range with the Techart adapter. Can you please confirm, if the Commlite adapter focuses objects in the corners or at least edges as well?

@@schildzilla it did glitch on one my attempts to focus in the corner(screen froze, had to turn the camera off), but yes it does seem to focus in the corners, it does it in steps so it's kind of sluggish not instant like with native lenses, probably just as slow as anywhere else in the frame. that techart LM-EA9 is cool will have to try it out one time. At the moment I'm playing with a Megadap ETZ21Pro probably one of the best adapter I have used so far, it allows Sony lenses work almost just as good as native.

Welcome!

Glad it helped

Linear is 24 Bit, float is 32 Bit. 24 bit allows a limited dynamic range audio to be recorded, which can clip and distort if an unexpectedly loud sound is being picked up by the mic, or if you go very close to mics that are sensitive. 32 bit on the other hand allows a higher dynamic range which eliminates the risk of running into such issues. I usually keep it at 24 bit in the studio for speach and have it at 32 for any other application, cheers.

It allows audio input straight to headphone output without passing it through heavy circuitry hence providing low to minimal latency, that in turn gives a better experience when monitoring your audio, thanks.

Good choice!

Hi, I haven't noticed any noise, it seems to be completely quiet, but I'll double check and let you know, thanks👍
