YOUSHARES Zoom H1n Handy Recorder Windshield with Foam Cover - Pop Shield for Zoom H1 Portable Digital Recorder, Microphone Wind Screen Muff Indoor/Outdoor

I have quite a few Zoom devices including their high end L-12 mixer/multitrack recorder and a H2n. For what this is you can't really go wrong. Battery life is ok. I turned it on after a month of disuse and it was still fully charged. No surprises there perhaps, but it's when you are using it that is the test. Well, I wrote a song and had the thing on for about 3 hours and it only went down a notch, so that's not bad. No idea how much quicker it might have drained after that, but for me that was acceptable. It certainly doesn't seem to be the energy guzzling monster some people make it out to be. The recording quality is excellent. Both in the microphone department and through the line-in. It's nice that it has a line-out as well so you can quickly plug it in to your mixer to play through your speakers. The unit is lightweight and does not scream high quality build at you, but it's decent enough - just don't go dropping it! I'm not sure it would survive a fall of a few foot or more at all. I reviewed the wrong item by mistake, but thought I'd leave the review up anyway, fwiw. I am yet to receive the wind shield for this device, but I can say that it is good value for money because this exact same item goes for about £25 at other electronic music store departments.

Impressive mic. I am surprised how good and clean audio I could record with it. Very small, batteries lasts forever it seems. Easy to use, I just don't like the power button, not really intuitive and you can turn it of by mistake. Works well with cameras, it's just annoying to set up (on camera end).

I have had a Zoom H1 for years and had some great results with it indoors but now want for have a shot at recording ambient sounds in the field, as it were. If you are doing any sound recording outside with a microphone, hand held, on a stand or built in to a camera - there is always the problem of wind noise ruining the recording. A 'pop filter' and a 'wind muff' are essential items and this is the solution is the best solution to the problem. This is a great purchase at an affordable price - highly recommended.

I ordered the Zoom WSU-1 and this one for testing as was unsure if the zoom one was three times better (its nearly three times the price!) suffice to say I returned the zoom version. It is designed for all of their recorders so would probably fit the H4 well but is far too big for the h1n. It completely covers the screen and if you push it up it is baggy and rubs on the h1n case - not right! I’ve tested both furry windscreens and they seem to perform pretty equally from what I can tell, the zoom is slightly better quality and has a liner but the fur looks almost identical. As an added bonus I get a spare foam shield with it but really I was after the furry shield. So all in all a pleasant surprise of quality and function at a bargain price!

Excellent item, great quality and easy to fit. It works very well in windy conditions.

overall a great product, does what you want, but has pretty bad handling noise if not using a boom arm or something. the volume buttons rattle is what I think causes some of it. You can tape them down but like... You shouldn't really have to. It IS a good product though, if you're not moving around too much

This review is factual and objective with no personal opinion unless where stated. I have poor hand - eye coordination and limited articulation in my fingers, and I found this product really easy to pull over the Zoom H1n's cradle around the microphones. The opening diameter for this product is very large and covers the Zooms recording dial (and the input and output 3.5 mm sockets) and in addition, the draw cord is very strong and has a locking clip on it to keep it secure. This means that the Zooms recording dial has no elastic pressing down on it and accidentally alter your recording level. Personal opinion: I have done wind test recordings with this product and analysed them in Audacity, and found this product performed extremely well. The whole purpose of foam 'Pop shields' and 'Dead Cat' wind shields is to create a pocket of 'still' (unmoving) air are around the microphones. This can only be achieved if there is a very good seal between the wind shield and the body of the recorder. This product has a non-slip leatherette-type material that holds the draw cord and adheres to the recorders body very effectively. I own several digital recorders and have found that this product fits and performs extremely well with them all. REMEMBER - furry wind muffs or 'Dead Cats' only REDUCE wind noise and not ELIMINATE it. Would recommend this product. ps - Both products are machine washable on a synthetic setting. Both are also OK with fabric conditioner. Allow to dry thoroughly before attaching to the Zoom H1n.

Good product. Cheap option without compromising quality. The sound from my recorder turned up clear and crisp.

Awesome, does cover the gain controls abit though

Los he recibido hoy y he hecho ya un par de pruebas, a priori, muy satisfactorias. El 'deadcat' atenúa bastante el sonido (lógico, por otro lado) y, aunque elimine el ruído del viento, no quiere decir que vayamos a poder usar el micro en mitad de un huracán. Hace lo suyo, que es permitir la grabación en exteriores. Además no es tan fácil de poner como la espuma, cuesta un poco colocarla en el sitio y luego hay que ajustar la goma. La espuma, recién sacada del paquete tenía arrugas y estaba algo fea, pero tras un par de horas está como nueva. De sonido muy bien. En mi opinión, la espuma le confiere a los micros esa pátina de sonido profesional tan propia de aquellos que cuidan su captación. No exime esto de postproducir el sonido, evidentemente, pero en el momento de hacerlo estaremos ante un mejor punto de partida. Y poco más. Buen material y bien empaquetado, sin florituras. Y diría que no es caro, 15 € no deberían ser la ruina de nadie por algo tan necesario.

Le plastique du boitier ne donne pas une impression de grande solidité …
