The device, despite its size, is very useful and effective. It is suitable for beginner filmmakers who do not have a huge budget but want:
1) Better sound quality.
2) To listen (monitor) to the sound they are recording.
It takes a micro SD card, however, you do not need to have a card reader, you simply connect the zoom to the PC and you're good to go, the read and write times are satisfactory.
Personally, I used it alone with a 50 euro microphone from a well-known company and I can say that it does its job and more.
Negatives:
Plastic construction, so you should be careful with it. It would be good to carry it in the bag that comes with the box.
Very good overall, but I give it 4 stars for a few reasons.
1. It is made of plastic and seems like it could easily break if you're not careful.
2. The manual is small and almost useless. You have to download the electronic file. Imagine, it didn't mention anywhere that you can use up to a 32GB card. I had to look it up.
3. The box doesn't even come with a USB cable. For a machine that costs around 90 euros, I think it should come with a cable.
4. It takes a very long time to read the card and to delete a large file.
But it produces very clear sound and you can start recording with just 2 buttons.
Very good product with very good sound quality and many functions and options. The only negative is the build quality that gives you the feeling of cheap plastic
I have had it for 5 months and honestly, it's awesome! I searched a lot before buying it and ended up with this one after a lot of research. I use it for YouTube to record sound with an external microphone and it's incredible. It has very good sound quality and a lot of settings to customize it to your liking. I won't mention the settings it has because if you search it on Google, you'll find everything about it, so there's no need for me to write unnecessarily.
Its positives are:
1) It is small and lightweight.
2) It has a long battery life.
3) It locks so that you don't accidentally press any buttons and cancel the recording.
4) The batteries are removable, which is very important because you can use either disposable or rechargeable ones. I mean, if it had an internal battery and it broke, it would be difficult to fix.
5) It has a very nice illuminated screen.
6) It can be connected to a computer and you can transfer its files or use it as a computer microphone without draining the battery, but it works with the connecting cable (micro USB).
Its negatives are:
1) The plastic materials are not the best for this price, but it doesn't bother me because I take care of it and don't throw it around.
2) The wheel it has for microphone sensitivity unfortunately doesn't lock when you lock it, so it can accidentally turn and increase the dB or you can lock it perfectly and it won't record any sound.
I am fully satisfied with this one, of course, it is the first one I bought and I don't have experience with others, but from a conversation I had with several YouTubers in Greece and abroad, most of them have this one, which means it's good.
Excellent! Very good value for money. It is quite sensitive to "picking up sounds", so be careful not to shake it during use. For outdoor shooting, you will need a fur cover to prevent distortion from the wind.
Small and lightweight. Excellent sound quality! Many settings and format options. However, be careful, if you want to do external audio recording (not in a studio, etc.), you will definitely need a protective cover for the microphones. They are sensitive to the air and the result will disappoint you! Also, for those of you who do VLOGs or want it for camera audio recording, get a silicone base (shock mount) because it is so sensitive that it even captures vibrations from my gimbal motor (Feiyutech ak2000).

It is very lightweight, made entirely of plastic but it is one of the best sound recorders and microphones on the market which includes features that we only find in more expensive implementations. Easy to use, reliable and worth 100% of its money. A very good choice for portable recording with demands, podcasts, YouTube, etc.
Very good, when you first see it you think it's fake, there is no issue, it just needs attention during transportation (it doesn't have good plastics). However, it does its job perfectly, the sound is professional-like. For the money I got it (98 €) it is very good value for money
