YOUSHARES Zoom H1n Handy Recorder Windshield with Foam Cover - Pop Shield for Zoom H1 Portable Digital Recorder, Microphone Wind Screen Muff Indoor/Outdoor

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.

Thoroughly recommend this muffler. Used it in the notoriously windy Gibraltar whilst shooting a short film. The difference between through-camera sound & my Zoom sound recorder, with muff fitted it phenomenal. It’s malting quite a bit but for the price well worth it and great value.

I ordered the Zoom WSU-1 and this one for testing as was unsure if the zoom one was three times better (its nearly three times the price!) suffice to say I returned the zoom version. It is designed for all of their recorders so would probably fit the H4 well but is far too big for the h1n. It completely covers the screen and if you push it up it is baggy and rubs on the h1n case - not right! I’ve tested both furry windscreens and they seem to perform pretty equally from what I can tell, the zoom is slightly better quality and has a liner but the fur looks almost identical. As an added bonus I get a spare foam shield with it but really I was after the furry shield. So all in all a pleasant surprise of quality and function at a bargain price!

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!

Recorded an outdoor concert on a windy day and it actually did reduce the wind noise.

work great but a little price for what they are

Excellent item, great quality and easy to fit. It works very well in windy conditions.

Quick delivery and good price.
