F3 : Amazing product for your on-the-go recordings

I don't record as frequently as I did, but I do get the occasional surge of inspiration to just go out into the wilderness/city and record whatever I find. That used to be shot down real quickly when I confronted the recording hardware I had to pack up for this.

The Zoom F3 really helps with this. At this point I have two Rode NT5s attached almost directly to the F3 (I have adjustable angled XLR adapters, no cables attached), as well as a grip mount at the bottom of the Zoom.

This + a small monkey pod for cameras gives me all the flexibility I need.

I'm still experimenting with the battery life of the recorder, but so far I cannot complain. Even easier to record at home connecting a USB-C cable into the device, eliminating the need for batteries.

32-bit F recordings are also nice, as there's no need to setup gain during the recording process.

All in all, can recommend!
