Software that came with it wasn't great, but other free, online software options are easy to use with it.
The remote control (with extension) makes it easy to start/stop the recorder without adding the 'handling noise' when recording. Saves me time when editing multiple recordings.
The wind screen doesn't kill all wind noise, but cuts it back substantially. A better screen or 'dead kitten' cover may be necessary in windy outdoor conditions, but light breeze and air noise from moving around indoors is cut.
The case is great, but does not fit the unit well with the windscreen attached - carrying the windscreen around separately is a drag. It has a nice detachable carry strap, though, which is nice. I also wish there were an elastic pocket inside for holding an extra memory card or the remote.
The mic stand piece is great for holding the recorder on a typical microphone stand, and can be used for simple holding of the recorder without touching it. (reduces handling noise a bit, too)
The mini tripod is pretty cheap, and the legs cannot extend far enough to support the recorder if the ball head is angled very steeply. I think I can maybe get 10 or 15 degrees pitch in any given direction, but beyond that, the tripod will tip over. It comes in handy for vertical orientation now and then, but is largely useless otherwise.
The power supply comes in handy, but most of us have these USB cables & adapters in spades at home already.
Personally, I would rather have paid less and eliminated the tripod and USB cable + power adapter, but I've used them once-or-twice, so ... eh. The primary parts of this kit are great, though, so they make it worth the price.
I'd recommend using Duracell batteries in your Zoom device, as speaking to other people who regularly use sound devices for a living, they say that Duracell batteries increase the quality of recording a fraction more.
I attach my Zoom device on the end of a monopod and use it as a boom pole. Then using the front directional recorders I just tilt the front of the Zoom H2n downward above actors or twist it either way to pick up dialogue between 2 actors talking together. When you buy a boom pole your H2n should just fit right on it. Take your H2n into the store just to check first. You can also use the monopod as a steady cam and do other neat stuff with your video camera mounted on it.
10 out of 10. Love it.
it becomes useless when someone is calling or texting
When I got home, I got an RA number from the Zoom service representative, which is Samson Tech of Hauppage NY.
The person giving me the RA number stated the MINIMUM turn-around time is 7-8 weeks. (over 2 months with shipping)
I am going to see if my credit card company has a perk to replace this broken unit. 2 months for a $180 piece of consumer gear is terrible support.
There are only two things that make this recorder deserve a 4.5 rather than 5 star rating.
First, there are only two buttons used for recording and managing recordings, namely the Menu and the Play buttons. Because these are the only buttons used for practically everything, they are "overworked" and through time they will surely wear out faster and earlier than other designs that have multiple supportive function buttons.
The other thing is the Wavelab LE7 audio editing and mastering software made by Steinberg for this particular Zoom model is probably a give-away laboratory sample. Just as Steinberg described, it is far (about 85%) from the professional software. It shows the editing basics to learn from and that's all. Use it to edit your recording and the edited record would be like you made your recordings in the middle of a bustling huge building construction site!
To edit and make a perfect recording using this almost perfect recorder, keep on recording, playing back and deleting until the record is perfect enough to your satisfaction.
-Then accessory box looks like also was packed in rush. Contents in that box was just pressed & squished. And all excitement on my face become serious. At least product was not damaged by that.
-Of course I WILL recommend your product to others, I know you, guys, can pack it accurately. That previous order was packed perfectly, I loved it.
-So, generally it was packed OKay this time. Accuracy is important for a customer.
Once you have a good level this is kind of set it and forget it.
