To turn the Zoom H1 and H1n into an on camera mic, you only need the following items: amzn.to/2FXAbg4 and amzn.to/2IfLIt3
thanks for the video! Could you explain how to do this with the Zoom H1.
Since you can't press play and stop on that one (There's only a play button)
@@LouiseVanAssche The procedure is the same.
@@MotoTTZ But I can't seem to get the test tone with the H1.. Which buttons should I press then?
@@LouiseVanAssche Ya, the H1 can't do a test tone. You'll have to experiment to find the idea level.
This is on point, zero fluff and easy to understand. Thank you sir.
THANKS! this really helps me a lot because i'm a freelance videographer and i've been having trouble with bad sound quality from my on-board camera microphone, especially on weddings and corporate events.
Oh my god. Thank you, John. you will never know how much you helped me with this great video! Keep up the great work!
Don't forget the clap at the beginning of your filming, it will makes it easier at editing stage to sync as you will see a big spike in the drawing of your waveform when your hands join & clap. Beware of possible drift over a recording lasting a long long time.
Lots of programs these days syncs it for you lol
I keep watching John I'm learning so much from your great video tuts 😁
The TEST TONE trick is a total game changer - thanks!
This is really clever! Great feature. I've been fighting with shotgun mics for a little while now. Affordable consumer mics just aren't that good, and there's a huge leap in quality and price between consumer shotguns and professionally oriented gear. The backup recording on top of the direct feed is a nice convenience, too!
So far I've hooked up to my Panasonic HCV770. For that, I recommend turning the internal camcorder levels all the way down to -30. -27 should be okay but you'll start getting some preamp hiss at that point. This camcorder is super sensitive in that regard. For the H1n's LINE OUT level, I set it at 22, and then the gain at 8. With that I was able to get good capture from subjects nearby but also minimize the preamp hiss. Depending on your needs you should be able to use a little more gain or a little more LINE OUT volume and only take on an editable amount of hiss.
Hi John, listen to your review yesterday make me bought H1n today...now I am following your instruction, connecting with my Nikon cam.
wow.. thanks so much. i've been struggling with trying to get a good sound with this combination. louder on the recorder or camera and so on and i couldnt tell what was really the weak spot. it was clearly the cameras gain being up too high and not enough volume output from the zoom. look forward to this. great video thanks John!
Thank you John I wish more external mic videos were this straight foward man
Thank you. Tried it with my Canon T3i - works perfectly. With the "Lantern Firmware" you can also use a common Headphone. So you can control the input like a "Pro" .
Just ordered a part through your link. Hope it helps your channel. I’m currently looking at DSLR cameras and u just made it easy to find what I needed for my Zoom H1N mic to attach to my G0Pr09. Great Video!
Just wanted to let you know that the link you attached is currently unavailable.
“Valley Enterprises 3.5mm Male Right Angle to 3.5mm Male Right Angle Audio Cable, Length 6 Inches“
Not sure if selecting another link from that product still helps ur channel. Just a heads up. 🤙🏼
I love your deep toned voice for reviews. Wow thank u sir
Yo John, you Rock my Friend!!! Exactly what I needed to see and understand. I subscribed and set the Bell to ALL. Keep up the great work. Thanks, Geno
John this is exactly the setup I was looking for as I already have the Zoom Hn1 mic, very well explained I didn't know about the pass through to the camera. You saved me a lot of money, thanks!
Took me about 2 mins to get everything working with my Sony A7III, the tip for the Zoom audio signal generator was awesome. This video +100.
Glad I could I help!
The safety track info was exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks.
This is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!😍🥰
Very helpful video 👍
❤️
Learned something with the audio adjustments. Thanks!
This is quite excellently explained. I'm a total noob at this just looking to understand first of all what I need and how these things work. It makes perfect sense and it's a good demo as well, thank you.
very informative video he touched on most of my questions for using the zoom as better sound quality recorder
Many thanks for this tutorial, especially the part where you explain how to calibrate to your camera using the test tone.
The audio for the video was better than the sample for the H1 at the 7:00 mark. What are you using to record this video?
Thank's...! this is very really helps me a lot because i'm a freelance videographer and i've been having trouble with bad sound quality from my on-board camera microphone, Frome Indonesia..NAF Drone
Thanks for the useful tips, especially with the camera and microphone settings. I found it helpful.
You answered my question perfectly - can I record on the zoom and my camera at the same time. Yes I can. Thank you!
Great video. I Just got a h1n. Thank you for the straight to the point, easy to understand video 🙏
Thanks a lot. You saved me. I was frustrated trying to sync this to my camera until I found this video of yours, very helpful. 👍👍👏
Great tips. I never knew about the test tone.
Your video is just so so helpful, thank you. I'm learning so much. Just before I watched your video, I literally just bought the H1N and was thinking so hard if I have to spend on the Video Mic Pro Plus too. Luckily I didn't. I'll do your method first!
Thank John, its works with my action cam plug in to my zoom h1 so i dont have to get it together at post production...this is awesome!
Excellent John, really good & easy to understand video. Thanks for taking the time to create & upload it 🙂I'd never thought of using my H1n like this, instead always fiddling about with external mics' & the usually poor internal amps' of cameras.
Only problem, well not so much a problem, more an irritation really(!) is my Panasonic GH2 & FZ200 use silly little 2.5mm jacks!
Not an issue to hook up, but I just find Panasonic's decision to use this tiny little, non-standard, size ridiculous. Anyway, achieved your suggested results (with the right cable!) & very happy, thanks, take care, A 🙂
I've found that adjusting the mic level to -12 db from the camera is the best option with lumix g7.
Other g7 owneres: Lemme know if you found something better
Excellent video. I just subscribed. Now I need to go look at your RUclips channel and see what you are using to create this video. The sound is excellent!
very nice video, for short films I think we should use boom pole to bring zoom closer - what long wire has to be bought for that, and will this make his or cracking sound if boom operator / boom pole moves a bit while shooting
The test -6db function is new to me. Thanks and great video.
Great video John! Can you please do a video using the Zoom on a iPhone X please. I’m confused on which patch cable to purchase
I wonder if this will work with the zoom h1 essential. I just bought one
Great video and now I know what that 1kHz signal was for. I calibrated my X-S10 and I'm right in the sweet spot now. Question: The H1n ships with two sets of stereo mini cables. One for Fuji Sony and Panasonic etc. and the other for Canon and Nikon. Can you explain the difference between the cables?
Thanks for the amazing video regards from Sweden.
What audio setup were you using to film this video? It's noticeably better than the example of using the Zoom mounted to the camera.
I was using a GiantSqid lav mic.
@@MotoTTZ Nice. This video is super helpful.
Great video. That was an eye opener to me. Thank you so much.

Thank you John for this very detailed video !
Great lesson, i own Tascam DR10l and am using it same way on my X-T3 (Tascam is connected to Røde Videomicro). Only thing is i dont know how to make -6db or-12db constant beep in order to adjust volume. Audio quality is way better that way.
Excellent video, especially for non -tech savvy people like me.
I recently bought the Zoom H1N and I have been using a Boya BY-M1 mic with my Nikon D5300. I want to connect the mic with the Zoom H1N and then connect the Zoom H1N to my camera, so that I have 2 audio files.
1. Which cable do I need? TRS to TRRS or some other one?
2. Please give some advice regarding an inexpensive lav mic, which is similar in quality and price as Boya BY m1, because the part of Boya BY-M1 with the battery makes it really fragile.
Thank you very much for your time and effort.
I wish I could've got a blue one...Thanks for the info. Great recorder! Love mine.
The blue version is so cool. Useful video!
Thanks for making this easy to understand video. 🙏
thank you so much very helpfull.. the zoom is not as cumbersome and heavy on the front of the camera ..and easier to carry
Great simple practical instructions… nice
Thank you for the great explanation! I have a zoom HN1 iand so i dont need to buy another Mic plus getting a safety track!
Thanks for the very good audio advice. I happen to have a ZoomH6 with microphones.
Thank you for your knowledge sharing
This is a great video. But I have a question for you that the audio of this video that you uploaded, was it after post-production of audio or raw audio?
Excellent video , very much informative and understandable
The Giant Squid lav mic sounds so much better. It appears to be discontinued though using your link.
What other mic would you recommend? How did you record it and use phantom power?
You make some amazing content, unique and useful
I like the mic you are using while discussing the Zoom H1N. Its way better than the zoom.
Me too. The giantsquid lav is the best.
@@MotoTTZ what brand is this?
This was very helpful information.
Great video, very informative ! Thank you so much ! 👍🏼 I'm gonna try this on my Lumix GX8 camera (with very poor built-in microphone), so I can finally achieve decent ukulele videos, lol.
Just what I needed, Thank you!!!
Very clear & thorough, thanks a lot!
GREAT JOB thanks for the video
Brilliant. Great demo. Saving up right now :)
Would you recommend this set up for careful handheld camera work? Or I need to invest in a shock mount?
Great, thanks! Exactly the information I was looking for
Mr Chow, this is what I'm interested in, but I want to use import the sound from my H1n by a stereo cable into my GoPro Hero 7 Black. Have you done this? If so, what's the best way?
Hi John! If I had my recorder set on my camera and I turn off my camera, will I have to redo all the settings again?
Nice review and excellent video/sound quality. What is model of tripod you use with your camera?
SIRUI 3T-35 amzn.to/313Mz5Z
What patch cord are you using? You mention viewers would find it below, but I don't see it. Thanks!
Very cool ! Well explained ! Thank you for sharing !
Oh my god, this is what I want to see.
good job and Thank you
Great explanation, Can you please tell me connect to connect ZoomH1n and Boya BY M1 lav mic to my smartphone so that I can record Audio and Video in together.
very very use full for audio recording
Very good my friend, good job
I want to do this kind of setup for filming my band gigs. Is there such a feavre where you can save your custom preset settings for both audio and video that you can just reload when you are ready to film?
Excellent explanation. Thank you!
Question, will it still record audio onto camera's SD card even if the Zoom H1n has no sd card installed or it still needs a micro sd to operate as a external mic for the camera?
Yes it will still record audio to your camera's SD card even if the Zoom doesn't have a memory card installed.
Thank you John! This video very informative ! Love it!!
what is the name of the product to fit the zoom over the DSLR? the sl3 (250D) the pin is different, how is it?
Great tutorial
Thank you for the great video! Can you share the link to get your tripod you are using in this video? I think the link in your description got expired
Here you go amzn.to/2Wc0bil
Can i connect the external microphone to the recorder after connecting to the camera? Will it use the recorder pre amp?
Very useful. Will try this out.
Thank you very much. Great stuff!!!
Hi John Chow! I bought the Zoom H1n Handy Recorder to connect to my Canon Vixia HF R800. I used 3.5/3.5 patch cable to connect 2 divices then the sound meter of the camera stops responding. No movement at all. And when I record, it does now record any sound. I know it is the right cable. Do you know why this is happening?
If you have the option would you choice this over the Rode Video mic? (would this be less directional? in compare to a shotgun mic option?) Thanks in advance
You rock mate🤟
You saved me alot of work and money + better sound quality as well
Not much more to say then subbed🤝
Thanks for your review. Great details, Sir🙏
Where did you buy the Blue Model. Don't see 8t on their Website. I need it in blue, to match my equipment. Thank you. I have subscribed to your channel, for your future reviews. Bless you 🙏

Really helpful, clear and precise thank you.
Very helpful video. Thank you!
Thank you so much. This was very helpful.
Really helpful thank you
Hey John, this was really helpful. Do you think that the same approach will work with Cannon Camcorder? (Legria HFG25). Specifically will the stereo audio cable do the same job in this set up? Thanks!
Yes, the set up would be the same.
Thank. ...Mister. ...it is always interesting...to have the (knowleldge ) of each one..I AM terrified. .. to see all the progress
I have a canon VIXIA HF800. Could you explain in great detail how I can get it to work? I’m trying to record music for an audition. I’m totally new at audio stuff. And I got confused as you were saying things like “post production “ . I plug my aux cord into my camera but it sounds fuzzy n bad
very good review, thank you as i didn't know the output signal should be matched with camera.. I also find i am using the same tripod as yours:-)
Hi Sir, I love the blue casing on your Zoom H1n. May I know where I can purchase one? Thank you.
Here amzn.to/2FHsY6x
I wish my lumix tz70 had line in for microphone. Can you suggest me the most basic camera with line in for microphone?
