Sure the build quality could be better. But for $200 a 32bit float recorder it's hard to complain.With rechargeable AAA batteries it won't cost too much to power this thing. Also nice that you can power it via usbc. Helpful that they got around the patent which allows you to monitor audio while recording. Sure, I would have liked to be able to monitor wirelessly, but hopefully that will come soon.If these break soon, I'll probably just keep getting more of them until there's the next generation either from zoom or tentacle sync.Tip: In order to open the battery door easily, just lightly press down in the middle of the battery compartment (where it says f2) and it should come off easily. Don't try to pull it off from the sides.

If Zoom made this product, but with the ability to monitor audio and battery levels remotely via app, I'd easily pay $100 more for it.Pros:This thing is tiny, super light. It's smaller and lighter once you get it in your hands than the pictures and videos show. Seriously.No level setting. It's still very strange to put the mic on a subject and not set your levels. 32 bit float audio is pure magic. When I take the audio to my computer, it just magically works, the audio is clean, I can adjust the gain in post and no issues.The audio is cleaner than my Zoom H5 and Zoom H6 at their highest quality settings when tested side by side. I could raise the gain by 20db in FCPX, and the noise level is still lower. Crazy how good this sounds for how small and cheap it ...

Sometimes when recording interviews, I admit I will take my headphones out.

I haven't gotten there yet, but I can see myself wasting a lot of AAA batteries because I fear them running out early because the meter is just a light, with no data telling me how long I have left to record.Opening the battery and Micro SD card slot. Dang, these were tough to get open, felt like the plastic would break. Thankfully, if you have a USB-C cable, once you have a Micro SD card in there, you can transfer your audio files super easy by plugging in to the easily accessible USB-C slot on the top. I can also see myself getting a set of rechargeable AAA batteries. Assuming I don't break the battery door, this will keep me sane during a long shoot, having a full battery every time.

I should start by saying that I was really, really looking forward to this product. Zoom has a fantastic reputation, and I have been very excited to have 32-bit float recording capabilities at a price-point I could afford. But, this product is sub-standard.To begin with, the battery-cover door is flimsy and does not fit well. When replacing the batteries, it takes multiple attempts to align the covering *just right* to get it back into place -- and even then, it's not a tight fit. I do have concern of the door popping open when wearing the device.Second - the software for managing settings and formatting the SD card is desktop-only. So -- if you pick up a new SD card while on assignment and want to format it -- you're out of luck. Similarly, if you want to turn ...

I have no idea why this is happening, but this is absolutely not the way an electronic device should work.So far, the sound quality is fine. But I really wish I had waited for a later model.

I have always loved Zoom products and prefer them over Tascam, but I?m not a big fan of the design of the F2. It?s technologically sound with 32bit recorder, but a lot of compromises were made on the unit itself to reduce costs.There is no screen or controls other than turning it on, recording, adjusting headphone levels and?. That?s pretty much it. No battery level details and no audio levels details. I get how the 32 bit tech takes up all the costs at the moment but I wouldn?t mind paying a little bit more for on-device controls. At the moment, the only way to get that is to get the bluetooth version.Additionally, the build quality is pretty cheap.

I've read about some problems people have had with these units, but as of late 2022 most of those bugs seem to be worked out. The build quality feels decent. The buttons and exterior seem robust enough. The belt clip is pretty tough to manage, but we've done fine with just throwing it in a pocket on lock. The bluetooth is absolutely awesome, and it's very easy to manage the entire unit from a phone.The microphone seems decent enough and it comes with a pile of windscreens and clips and things. Totally usable out of box.There are two issues/concerns we have with the unit. The SD card door seems like it might be the first thing to break. Not a crazy issue, but I won't be surprised when it happens. I don't understand the second issue, in which the USB-C port seems ...

Not a crazy issue, but I won't be surprised when it happens. I don't understand the second issue, in which the USB-C port seems to only support very limited USB 2.0 speeds. I suspect it has to do with the unit's Read/Write interface, but copying footage via USB just isn't feasible. It works but takes crazy long for not much data at all. You'll definitely have to pull the card to backup.
I bought this recorder a month ago despite the reviews after hearing some issues have been addressed. I have used it multiple times with no errors.They have fixed the issue with the connection of a microphone, it does not create a popping sound. And I guarantee you that every single person that has been experiencing the non-recording issue did not read the manual on how to properly format the device, which is done via Zoom's app on a computer.The audio quality out of it is top notch. 32-bit float audio is incredible. The F2 is 100% a set-it-and-forget-it audio recorder. Having to format through a computer is kind of annoying, but having the strength of 32-bit audio for lav mics at this price is an insanely good deal.This has become an essential piece of ...

I've used DR-10's for years, and was excited to upgrade to this Zoom F2 for weddings. Well, I'm back using my DR-10's. On multiple occasions I was recording a first look only to discover there was no file that night while dumping footage. I'm the kind of guy who's so paranoid about recording I constantly pull the recorder back out of the groom's pocket to triple-check that it's running. There's something off about this F2, maybe as simple as the LED incorrectly indicating that it's recording when it's actually not. I've also had poor battery life issues, despite using the computer to confirm the correct battery setting. I had it die in the middle of a catholic ceremony for me once with fresh batteries put in the night before (it did successfully close the file ...

I've also had poor battery life issues, despite using the computer to confirm the correct battery setting. I had it die in the middle of a catholic ceremony for me once with fresh batteries put in the night before (it did successfully close the file giving me 40 minutes of a clip at least). Zoom definitely should've added an LCD to this guy, both as a better confirmation of recording status and to be able to update settings on the fly. If you have Tascam DR-10's I'd just stick with them.
I would look elsewhere. If the battery life last long enough to capture everything I wouldn't get your hopes up that everything was captured. I've had this product for 6 months now and have used it at weddings and interviews. After placing new batteries in they died after two interview sessions where I was recording for 15 minutes in total. Another instance the audio didn't record for 10 seconds it cut out and then came back on, but with no lag time in the waveform which was odd. Wouldn't recommend product.
I bought 5 Zoom f2's this with a better lav mics like the Deity W Lav Pro gives me a great sound for the price. I was on the fence about the BT version but not having a way to monitor the sound was a no go for the price difference. I believe that this gives a better sounding option than a wireless system. The Rode wireless go IIis nice and you can record onto the transmitter and monitor the sound at the same time. But after listening to both the sound of the zoom was the winner for me.I was never going to use the mic that came with the zoom F2 from the start. I needed a great sounding lav mic to get the sound that's usable for my work.The setup is a boom shotgun outside, a boom hypercardioid indoors and a lav mics on everyone in the shot.

I needed a great sounding lav mic to get the sound that's usable for my work.The setup is a boom shotgun outside, a boom hypercardioid indoors and a lav mics on everyone in the shot. The audio in the camera is for scratch only. The downside to the zoom f2 is I can't monitor it as I record but the boom mic is always monitored to assure good sound is there for the editing.After hiding the lav I have the person move around to make sure that the clothing isn't making a sound on the mic itself by monitoring the zoom before concealment on the person, and tell the if you feel a change in the mic position to let use know and we will reattach it.Pros. 32 bit Ease of use Small size No wireless drop off.Cons. No way of monitoring unless you connect it to a wireless system the mic that comes with it could be better.The mic that comes with the zoom will work fine for most people.
Not having to worry about my audio levels has increased my production capability many times over. I wish there was a wireless version for in-camera sync vs post production synchronization, but the small amount of time it takes to sync in Premiere is way less than needing to reshoot for blown audio. Adjusting the gain in post is super easy and still comes out clean. The F2 desktop software is easy to use. My only complaint is the windjammer isn't super-great at staying on the mic. It's fine once the mic is in place, but everything up to that point requires a great deal of care to not lose it. I'd love to see this unit upgraded with a small digital display for actual battery life and recording time remaining, but even without those I'd buy it again if needed.
