Zoom F1-SP Field Recorder with Shotgun Microphone

The Perfect Solution for Run-and-Gun Filmmakers!

The new Zoom F1-SP Field Recorder with SGH-6 Shotgun Microphone is the perfect solution for all run-and-gun filmmakers—or anyone who wants to become one.

The SGH-6 Shotgun Microphone is known for its high-quality and hyper-directional recordings. Together with the F1 Field Recorder, you create high-resolution audio files up to 24 bit / 96 kHz and in the highest audio quality! The F1 Recorder also records audio files in WAV or MP3 format. The WAV files are automatically time-stamped, making the Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) compatible.

Easy Setup and Handling

The included shock mount makes attaching to the camera easy. Simply clip it on, connect the stereo cable with the F1 Field Recorder on one end and the camera on the other, and you’re ready to go! For film or music video recording, you can set the Field Recorder to simultaneously create a stereo audio file that can be edited in post-production.

Clear View in Any Weather

The newly developed 1.25-inch monochrome display shows all functions like levels and battery status during filming and is easy to read even in bright sunlight. Using the simple one-touch button control system, you can access and adjust recording level, limiter control, low-cut filter, and volume at any time.

Ready for Anything

What’s a film without a little action? The SMF-1 shock absorber was designed to prevent vibrations that can occur while shooting. So you can run, walk, jump, or do whatever else you imagine without worries.

Key Features at a Glance

• Calibrate and Synchronize: The F1’s tone generator provides a test tone to help set the correct audio level. The sound markers make aligning audio and video easier.
• No Chance of Overload: An onboard limiter ensures your levels stay safe when loud volume peaks occur.
• Simple Power Supply: The F1 can be powered by two AAA batteries or optionally with an AD-17 power adapter.
• USB Connection: Transfer recordings in card reader mode to your computer or record directly via the F1’s USB audio interface mode to your computer.

Last but Not Least

The SGH-6 sits in an extremely lightweight aluminum housing and is therefore barely noticeable. Thanks to the microphone connector integrated into the F1 Field Recorder in Zoom’s proprietary format, all the different microphone capsules Zoom offers can be connected, such as the SSH-6, XYH-6, MSH-6, XYH-5, and EXH-6.

Keep the camera rolling, the next video is waiting!
