The KSF3 Stingray Action Belt from K-Tek provides sound recordists, musicians, and videographers with a versatile and comfortable way to wear the Zoom F3 field recorder and two wireless receivers or transmitters. The bag's adjustable belt allows it to be worn as a waist belt or as a slinger belt, and it also features a fold-out kickstand that positions the recorder at a perfect angle for tabletop use.

Two durable straps sized specifically for the F3 securely hold the recorder while providing quick and easy access to the screen and controls. The two roomy neoprene front pockets with hook-and-loop cable pass-through enclosures can accommodate a wide variety of receivers, transmitters, and other accessories. A clear integrated rain cover neatly rolls up when not needed and is easily deployed on set when inclement weather strikes. Extra AA batteries are quickly accessed via two front-panel slots, allowing you to quickly replace them on set without having to dig crowded pockets. A pair of D-rings are provided to accommodate your preferred shoulder strap (available separately).

Q: 1. How do I turn off phantom power?

A: Instructions for turning the Zoom F3's phantom power on or off can be found on page 33 of the manual here: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/817196.pdf

Q: 2. I've heard that the neutrik connectors may have issues with some XLR cables. I know someone who almost got the connector broken because the XLR wouldnt come off so I'm afraid of using microphones with non-neutrik connectos such as the sennheizer ew series that come with a 1/4 TRS to a male XLR. Should I be worried?

A: The Zoom F3 2-Input / 2-Track Portable Field Recorder features standard, locking female XLR inputs that should be compatible with a wide range of male XLR connectors, including those from brands other than Neutrik. The issue described may have been an isolated issue with the locking mechanism of that particular unit, but in general, the Zoom F3 should have no issue connecting and disconnecting to and from its XLR inputs.

Q: 3. Is there a compact mic add-on solution like the h5 for ambient sound or is it jerry-rigs only?

A: The Zoom F3 is not compatible with any proprietary mic modules like the H6 and H8.

Q: 4. How does this belt feel compared to the Orca waist belt?

A: The two waist belts are very comparable. Both are lightweight, padded, and offer a set of 4 Carabiners. The Ktek KSWB1 has one additional benefit; molle straps and D-Rings along the back offer plenty of rigging points for additional accessories.

Q: 5. What cables are needed to connect F3 Nikon Z8 camera and to Sennheiser MKE 600 microphone?

A: You can use a standard XLR cable like the Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series Neutrik XLR Male to XLR Female Microphone Cable - 5' (B&H # KOM3005) in any length you prefer to connect the Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone to an input on the Zoom F3 Portable Field Recorder. To connect the line output from the F3 to the mic input on the Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera, use a line-to-mic attenuating cable like the Sescom LN2MIC-35DB-3 Attenuator Cable (B&H # SELN2MIC35D3).

Q: 6. If the recorder turns off during a recording (in progress), can the whole audio file be found intact?

Q: 9. Any way to PAUSE while recording?

A: Yes, the Zoom F3 2-Input / 2-Track Portable Field Recorder can be paused while recording.

Q: 10. Any M/S support? It would be good if it could decode M/S mics at the headphone output - no real need to convert M/S in the actual recording.

A: At this time there is no information from Zoom about M/S support on the F3 Field Recorder.
