so far it works flawlessly. it would be nice if it had a belt clip accessory for use when using the lavaliere mic. it does fit in your pocket to a degree. this unit has had so many reviews and how to videos made about it which makes learning to use it very simple. combined with wind shields, dead cat, lav mic, shock mount and other accessories its a well rounded professional grade product. I'm loving using it. it also shipped here very fast. however the additional accessories were slow in shipping and seem to be routed ridiculously out of the normal shipping path making them get here much later. I'd suggest you order it and all accessories at the same time which could speed up shipping at possibly no to low cost. I built my own shock mount and that helped the unit make even better recordings.

The recorder has two choices of recording .WAV and .MP3. Very convenient switches to toggle. Gain control option. I have been using this for music recordings for last 5 years. No issues, physical wear and tear is there but recording sound quality is amazing. Even we used for radio broadcast recordings and this H1 outperformed many expensive brand recorders.

Used this item for the last two weeks to help with our church video productions. I have Nikon 3100 and this video quality was great but the sound was horrible! I know just use a sound "clap" before I start recording. I import all sound from the Zoom and video from the Nikon into my editing program. I then align the sound from the zoom with onboard video sound from the Nikon by using the sound "clap" at the begging of the recording! Presto! Then disable the sound clip from the video recording and its replaced by the Zoom sound clip. It does take an extra step but I needed something without breaking the bank and investing in a new camera.

Very useful for conventions and business meetings. The portability with the tripod mount make recording very clear with no distraction upon review.

We use this device to record audio for video projects. It has been a great little tool for what we paid. I am always surprised at the great quality we get. This thing picks up everything so be careful when using it when there is a lot of wind. It is small and light so we get really creative with its use. It has saved us on more spare-of-the-moment changes requiring creative audio than I care to count.
