Ryan posted this video comparing the Zoom H1 against the Rode VideoMic. It’s always interesting to see how the H1’s built in mics compare to dedicated microphones. But what really puts a smile on my face is that he’s using the NOOB Shock mount throughout the test. It always makes me happy to see my Shock mount out in the wild.
The he’s using is also very handy. It does a great job and is well worth the money, I have one for both the Zoom H4n and H1. As far as I know they are still the best windscreen for the price.
Coincidentally the also fits the Tascam DR-05 without covering up to much of the screen. The only downside is that $35 is a lot to spend on a windscreen when your field recorder costs less then $100.
Have you looked at FurryHead Windscreens? They’re a real quality product and less than $20 shipped http://www.furryheadwindscreens.com/5-products ? I have one for my Zoom H4 (non-n) which also fits my DR-05. I’ve just ordered the one for the DR-07 and assume it will fit the DR-05 too. $20 is still a lot for an accessory that should be included with a recorder but it’s a lot easier to stomach than $35. Keep up the good work.
