Quick Verdict

Transcript
Hi, it's Alitha with WTI. I want to show you a product that is so great. It is my Zoom F1 field recorder. Now what that is, is that it's a shotgun mic and I use it when I'm out in the field, which is why it's called a field recorder. This mic picks up sound that's right in front of it. So it doesn't pick up surround sound, only what's right in front. So what's so cool about that is that it makes the sound so crisp. So if you're shooting in the field and you want to get the sound of a beautiful bird making beautiful sounds, you point your field recorder and it will record into the camera and the sound will only pick up the sound of the bird. I love it. I'm going to show you a little bit of how I use it. Okay, so like I said, you need to point the shotgun towards the sound that you want to pick up. I just point and I can pick up the sound of a bird. Yes, this is so awesome. And it comes with a wind shield so that if there's a lot of wind on the day that you're filming, you only hear the sound of the beautiful bird that you want to record. So this is the Zoom F1 field recorder. I love it because I get crisp, clear sounds every time. I love this product. I highly recommend it. And that's my point of view. Thank you.
