YOUSHARES Zoom H1 Recorder Short Furry Outdoor Windscreen Muff, Pop Filter/Wind Cover Shield Fits Zoom H1 Handy Portable Recorder

God

This review is factual and objective with no personal opinion unless where stated.I have poor hand - eye coordination and limited articulation in my fingers, and I found this product really easy to pull over the Zoom H1n's cradle around the microphones.The opening diameter for this product is very large and covers the Zooms recording dial (and the input and output 3.5 mm sockets) and in addition, the draw cord is very strong and has a locking clip on it to keep it secure.This means that the Zooms recording dial has no elastic pressing down on it and accidentally alter your recording level.Personal opinion:I have done wind test recordings with this product and analysed them in Audacity, and found this product performed extremely well.The whole purpose of foam 'Pop shields' and 'Dead Cat' wind shields is to create a pocket of 'still' (unmoving) air are around the microphones.This can only be achieved if there is a very good seal between the wind shield and the body of the recorder.This product has a non-slip leatherette-type material that holds the draw cord and adheres to the recorders body very effectively.I own several digital recorders and have found that this product fits and performs extremely well with them all.REMEMBER - furry wind muffs or 'Dead Cats' only REDUCE wind noise and not ELIMINATE it.Would recommend this product.ps - Both products are machine washable on a synthetic setting. Both are also OK with fabric conditioner. Allow to dry thoroughly before attaching to the Zoom H1n.

Massive reduction in wimd noise when recoding outside, admittedly I've only used the dead cat but I'm really impressed with it's performance.Only slightly issue is now my malinois wants to kill it, but it's a small price to pay for good outdoor recordings.

Apart from the free link to the software which I abandoned, the function of this little recorder is excellent. Easy to set up and we have been amazed at the clarity of the recordings outside and inside. We bought one for someone else as a gift and they have found it invaluable for recording their own music ,in a band, that they are working on, and being able to take it home to listen to and work on. The quality is sufficient for them and it is so easy to just switch on for a few minutes. Used with a power pack, it lasts for hours. I have recorded birds in the garden, leaving it running for hours with a 32GB card and not had to disturb them constantly. You can pick up clear sound from 50 metres away, but also from a couple of feet. Now I just need a brain transplant or chip to identify the bird song!

This product did everything I hoped for. Worked more effectively than a foam baffle.

Item as sold - fits the H1n well and does its job.

Used with a Zoom H1N microphone outdoors, the furry windshield muffler works very well, even quite noticeable wind I still got decent audio recordings.I did try the foam pop filter and it does a good job, but for out in the field I recommend the furry "dead cat" one.More than worth the asking price.Very recommended.

Does what it's meant to do
