The bluetooth app with an Android phone is a must unless you want to fool around with a 1980 Casio watch type menu and multi button system. I;n waiting for an H8 update with floating point.

The more I use this thing the more I hate it. You can't do a file transfer when hooked up to the bluetooth app. So you have to turn off bluetooth and then do a file transfer and then go back and turn on bluetooth...wish I had bought a Tascam X8. This thing is only good if you need something very small.

I was debating if I want to ‘upgrade’ from the Zoom H6N to this one, and I think you saved me from doing so. It’s definitely nice to have, but it’s not a major upgrade for sure.

Thanks! For clarification, does changing the magnification of the wave files affect the volume of those WAV files for later importing into a DAW? (ie, does it help get the WAV files in the right range before messing with it in your DAW?)

Dual input sockets reach much further into the enclosure so the choice to omit them may have been made in order to minimise the device size.

Great review. I own, amongst other Zoom field recorders, the H4n Pro and, very recently, the Zoom F3. The Zoom F3 is great. The 32-bit float is great when you record sounds without knowing how they will evolve over time, as I like to use hydro, geo, and EMT microphones. When it comes to inputs the H4n Pro is an interesting option. But indeed, the slow boot is a bummer. I measured 27 seconds with a freshly formatted 16 GB card and 36 seconds when there are already recordings on it.

Absolutely love the f3. It’s a great bargain. I’m looking to add the f6 but something tells me zoom may be doing an update soon. Thanks for watching, cheers!

Seems like If Im looking for a good recorder to plug a shotgun mic on a boom pole for indie films, this should be pretty solid, thanks for the review!

I'm a beginner and when I plug a 3.5 cable from it to my camera I get this fluttering noise on the recording and don't know what's causing it. I tried two 3.5 cables but they were cables off of old shotgun mics. Don't know if that's the problem or not.

It may be the preamps on the camera.

In my case, the biggest shortfall is that when you hit Play, this thing is automatically on repeat! Please, please, PLEASE, ZOOM, make that feature OPTIONAL and just play the file once by default. Otherwise, not much to complain about.

I wish I was better at command line, but I'm not. The good news is that Linux Mint is more user friendly than Windows so at least I can manage. Obviously it won't be a problem for you so if you ever decide to try it out, let me know how it works in Mint.

It blows my mind that they didn't put dual inputs in these. Like, why? Everything else has them!
