ZOOM F2 - The PERFECT portable audio recorder for Weddings and Corporate?

The Zoom F2 is a small and compact field recorder, designed for use for weddings, corporate and content creation. It’s designed around 32-bit float audio and has very minimal options on the device itself. In this video I show some of the ways I use this device and who I think it’s well suited for.

Thank you so much for your honest review! I haven't been using zoom for over 10 15 years now, and yes the cheaper models do have problems with plastic, lots of them have had the problem to be careful with the plastic. Good thing though I did lose some plastic pieces on one of my zoom and they replaced the battery lid for free so cool. My main goal is to be able to have a small unit to record small short podcast for audio clips

[@MattQuattro]

Totally agree! I wish Zoom would use some stronger materials on all their products, but the F1 has been perfect as a quick recorder when I need it. I’m just always cautious of that battery door.

[@mex5341]

great review!

[@lewisaa05]

Interesting. Learnt a bit about audio in that video. Also laughed out loud... damn dogs haha. Nice job!

[@MattQuattro]

Glad to hear you got something out of it! And yep, can’t fault him for timing in this case 😂

[@earlgreybeard]

Great video. Yo8u have a very engaging style. I have managed to pick up the BT version second hand. I was wondering whether using the a Lavalier from one of my Sennheiser EK100 radio mikes might improve the audio? Any thoughts? All the best, Raymond. Nottingham UK

[@MattQuattro]

Hi Raymond, thank you for your feedback. I would say absolutely. I use mine with a Sanken COS-11 and the audio quality is excellent. Much better than my wireless system and the included lavalier in the kit. Best of luck.

[@earlgreybeard]

@@MattQuattro Thanks Matt. I'll give it whirl.

[@NicCamp]

Are you boosting the audio with Gain, or something else?

[@Boz1211111]

Unless your zoom f2 is not saving recordings due to firmware issue and you end up with an empty card after filming. very cool.

[@nicktsonis7102]

can you actually record dj with it? In another review someone mentioned that it completely peaks due to the nature of the signal coming out (being too loud)

[@MattQuattro]

In my experience it's been fine as long as the signal coming out of the DJ deck isn't already clipped.

[@Jason_MotoPhotoAdventures]

As long as the DJ can send Mic level and not Line level it'll work. If not, you'll need an attenuator cable.

[@1dgram]

Or just use a zoom f3.

[@Jason_MotoPhotoAdventures]

doesn't fit in a pocket

[@1dgram]

@@Jason_MotoPhotoAdventures Well, it does, just not comfortably.
