14May Zoom h1 and Tascam DR-05 shock mount.

A few weeks back I mentioned that I was working on a design for a Zoom H1 shock mount. Now that I’ve got the 3d printer up and running I can test out my design. I must say it works very well. I added a cold shoe adapter to the bottom of the shock mount, […]

20Apr Zoom H1 shock mount design.

I’ve been working on a few more DSLR cad designs to test out when my makerbot shows up in a few more weeks. I thought a Zoom H1 shock mount would probably be very handy and it might be nice if the shock mount also used off the shelf rubber bands. I basically designed this […]

09Apr Tascam DR-05 v.s. the Zoom H1, test and review.

I was able to spend a day messing around the Tascam DR-05. It’s definitely built better then the Zoom H1. The controls deliver a satisfying click when pressed, and there are no loose parts. The Tascam DR-05 also has a number of features that the Zoom H1 is missing including power for an external mic, the ability […]

06Apr Tascam DR-05, first impressions.

The Tascam DR-05 showed up on Monday and I was planning to start doing tests earlier this week, but my schedule just didn’t work out.

05Apr New Bluetooth Combo Video test.

I’m still sick, but as promised, here is that video test of the new Bluetooth transmitter setup in action. I have to say these are the best results I’ve had. This setup is completely usable and very clean. In the test I’m simply recording audio directly into the built in mic on my zoom h1 […]

17Mar Budget cold shoe bracket from Dzone2

Sometimes it’s nice to add two or three items to the top of your camera. For $36 Juicedlink sells the VideoMic accessory bracket or for $35 you can buy the Cool-lux Light & Sound Bracket. But what if you want something a little bit cheaper? Well you’re in luck, at $12.50 the Dzone2 Hot Shoe Extension bracket will […]

19Feb Zoom H1 V.s. Zoom H4n quick head to head.

I often get questions about the quality of the built in microphone on the Zoom H1. I can safely say after running a few tests between the Zoom H4N and the zoom H1, I can barely tell the difference.  The Zoom H1 is basically just the Zoom H4N without all the features and the built in microphones preform about as […]
