Zoom F8 Review Wrapup
The Zoom F8 is an impressive sound recorder from a company that has been steadily marching up market with more and more impressive audio gear. Zoom popularized the handheld recorder with XLR input market with their original H4 Handy Recorder. And now about 10 years later, they’re going even farther up market with the Zoom F8. But is the F8 really a competitor to the pro-level sound recorders from Sound Devices and Zaxcom? Have a watch and we’ll give you our impressions.
Who is this device for? It fits my work as a one-man crew shooting corporate videos perfectly. I love the Zoom F8!
