[0.545 lb] Superb mic that makes the H5 a great recording device. Only thing missing is a protective cover which could protect this device when not in use. The base recording unit H5 does have its own plastic container. 5

[0.545 lb] Essential addition for an H8 setup especially for recording music and events, adds another 4 Channels of XLR inputs bringing the total to ten. Easily add phantom power if needed with a standard USB cable. Just connect and your ready to go, instantly recognized and flawless integration. 5

[0.545 lb] TLDR - It really just does exactly what it's supposed to. The one thing I haven't checked out yet is what the deal will be with powering mics on this add on unit. I see there is another micro usb port up top, so I assume it's going to be pretty straight forward, but for the sake of keeping things clean (ten cables coming out of this thing is pretty unwieldy) I plan to keep condensers on the main body of the H8. As to the attachment, it feels very secure. Although it's light and plastic, the fabrication feels of quality. Not that I would test it, but it feels like it could take a spill off of a desk or table. For all of the insanity in our world, it is nice that we have a way to bring 10 tracks out to a location that is reliable, straightforward, and actually very reasonably priced. Kudos to Zoom for building a device like this in an era full of sneaky compromises and proprietary nonsense. 5

[0.545 lb] The H4 is great, but why not spend a little extra and get the H5 since it can accept attachments? For documentary work this is totally worth it. 5

[0.545 lb] I have been using the SGH-6 shotgun capsule on my Zoom H5N. The audio is clear and it allows me to keep all of my audio equipment on my DSLR rig. I like the mobility and versatility it provides. I would highly recommend this mic for anyone using a H5N or H6. 5
