Questions & Answers

Is this the same as the one for the Zoom H6 and will it work on the Zoom Why is there such a difference ?

It was developed by the African People's Forum. The H6 Accessory Pack will not work with the H5. As a result, the H6 is equipped with A different power adapter is used (albeit with the same USB plug), but the big difference is the remote control. You should know that there are no controls for audio input on the remotes for the H5 and H6.

A remote cable of how much length does it have?

According to Zoom specifications, their wired remote has a cord length of up to 2 meters. However, similar remotes from Zoom do not have this feature.

Can I use the H4n Pro with it?

Specifically designed for the Zoom H5, this accessory kit includes the following items. It is possible to use the furry wind screen and power cable. Using the remote with the H4n is not possible. Buying this will not provide you with the remote you need, so stick with the H4N kit instead.

Does the remote make it easy to adjust the gain? Does the remote really deserve the money I spent on it?

There may not be any need for it. It is possible to manage the recorder without the remote if you are holding it or standing next to it. Furthermore, if you're in close proximity and have not pretested for levels, you can't see them anyway because the display is so small. In any case, I believe the remote is worth it for these other features My objective with buying the accessory pack was to also get the AC power adapter. I bought it because I also wanted to record and stop. My preference is to always have everything readily available rather than regretting later on when I'm using the recorder and realize I could have used one of the accessories that would have made my life more convenient. I wish you the best of

There are no problems at all
5/5

I'd prefer a wireless remote, but it would also cost more, and since the cable is long enough to use it while standing comfortably then the recorder can be viewed without touching it. It works well, and you have all the buttons to operate the recorder without reaching for Purchasing this was a wise decision. It is also acceptable to cover the cover with fuzzy material There is elastic around the recorder so it can be kept in place.

This is an excellent and useful kit
5/5

Despite the windscreen's size, it's still possible to record other sounds without any muffling or anything like that and block the sound of the wind. Even though the button doesn't make any sound when you press it, you can still feel like you pushed a button so you know you pressed it. When you have the recorder on a tripod angled at an angle that makes it hard to push the record button, this feature is very useful. There is no reinforcement on the remote end, so I'm afraid the cord may come out. The cord from the remote is very thin, and I'm worried that it may fall out.

The Zoom H5 recorder gets an even better companion with this great accessory
5/5

It is an item I was interested in at first, but I am glad I purchased This game is both very handy and very good, including the remote control and the "dead cat" muddler. From Zoom, it comes in a nice package. In addition to my H5 recorder, which I am very happy with, this kit is a nice supplement.

Unlike the foam one that was included in the initial box, the wind guard provided in this kit is far superior

You are remote I'm so happy! Rest of the story I don't know
4/5

There's no need to keep the USB charger You may take this item with you. It would take your phone or tablet about 20 minutes to charge this one, and you probably have a dozen of them sitting around already. Using the cable that came with it and a PC is probably your best bet if you want USB power. When it comes to using the USB cable on location if there is no PC available, the cable may be too short. I had to brush my out a bit to remove the loose fur and straighten it out, since it had been a while since I did that. If you haven't done that, it looks professional as well as eccentric in the same way. In the end, I found that the recorder actually produces more side sound than the regular foam head that came with it. Due to the vast size difference between the fur and the foam, it is more likely that you will brush The whole reason to buy this kit is the remote control. Be cautious around it and you'll be fine. When recording with the built-in mics, this remote (and the extension cord that comes with it) is the ideal way to control all of the buttons without having to touch the H5. By doing this, the possibility of irritating sounds created when pressing buttons and fumbling is eliminated.
