Zoom H1n Review for Filmmakers: Still the Best Budget Audio Recorder?

If you're new to audio recording, the Zoom H1n is one of the best portable recorders to start with. In this video, we take the Zoom H1n to Osaka at night and record sounds that are unique to the city.

During the audio test, we provide tips for setting the gain correctly and avoiding self-noise, as well as demonstrate the recorder's features and capabilities. We'll explore a different part of Osaka that you haven't seen before and capture the sounds of the city at night.
