Though I’ve personally never run into the issue of an accidentally disconnected cable with my H5, the security of the H4n Pro jacks could be important in environments where people and gear are constantly being moved around. but the only issue I have with it was that I use the max 32 GB sd card and it always takes forever to boot. For so many years I was just using a long cable with a solo mic attached to my camera but with this one is just so much better to have it station closer to my subject and get better audio and then just sync it on post or record straight to the video. Plus, there’s a stereo 1/8” Mic jack for external audio sources, including lavalier microphones requiring 2.

It comes with a protective plastic shell case, which is nicely sized to the device and not overly bulky.A stereo ⅛" Line/Phone Out, with dedicated volume control, allows for headphone monitoring or connection to your DSLR, while the built-in monophonic speaker allows for quick playback reference.

Five minutes before showtime, I realized the H5 wasn’t gonna cut it and forced a hard reset by pulling the batteries from the back compartment. Upon advice of a seasoned Zoom-user friend of mine, I used a pair of earbuds to monitor any wind noise as this can ruin a recording, but I found that on a fairly still day there was extremely low noise and, with the record level set at 80% there was no clipping - although it wasn't a loud environment. It also includes a headphone/line out jack to easily send high-definition stereo directly to your camera. The multitrack mixing and four‑track recording functionality — as well as the huge number of other 'bells and whistles' — make it the most versatile, too.The H4n Pro features high performance, low-noise mic preamps with recording resolutions up to 24-bit/96 kHz. It also has the ability to record four tracks of audio into a single recording, as well as be able to plug in multiple devices (guitar, mics, keyboards, ect) to different channels. Whether it’s remembering to charge them, bring spares, or the hidden monetary (and environmental) cost of the disposable kind, batteries can be a pain in the butt. With the H4n Pro, we've taken everything creators love about the H4n and brought it to the next level. If the fault occurs within the first 2 years of your ownership, we'll collect the goods and deliver them back to you free of charge.
