I haven't used my H5 in months, so I needed a refresher on how to format an SD card, plus I learned some extra things in the process of listening to your tutorial. Much appreciated, thanks!
I just got my H5 today! Thanks very much for the video. I've already tested the mic out and the audio blows my mind. I used to use a RODE Go Mic, so the upgrade was totally worth it.
Thank you so much for a great INFORMATIVE AND BRIEF review. I love the H5 Recorder and have been using mine for my Bachelors of Science Degree Program at Full Sail University and have used it in a Sound Design project for a video game. Crazy considering I am an Audio Productions student. I love this recorder and I love the Demo/Overview that you have provided for us. Brief and Clear...Loved This. Thank You.
Hello, My Zoom H5 is on its way as I type and already I am so much for confident in using it for the first time. You are a great teacher and I am grateful. Rachel
Thanks for a great review. The only thing that might have helped a little would have been some discussion about audio format and set up. Thanks for your great work.
thank you so much for this great info. I'm getting familiar with this product so its very exciting. I have a cooking CZcams channel and its been almost a year so now I want t impress everyone with new videos w the recording products, mics and lighting.
Trying to download the files via the cable is like trying to push a gallon of water through a cocktail straw. The speed is like maple syrup. Especially when you're dealing with Wave files.
Great video. Which jack on the side (line out or headphones) do I use if I want to listen to the play back of any of the recorded material? Either I have horrible headphones, or I need a therapist.
I really like my Zoom H-5. Especially when I need to do voice over for any of my videos and don't feel like sitting at my studio desk. I can hook up one of my quality 🎤 s and do voice over from in my bed if I want to. I just ordered a power cable adapter for it so I can use that instead of having to use batteries. Very Quality Product.
If using 4 microphones along with 4 quality headsets what splitter do you recommend for the headsets? In order words, will sound be affected depending on splitter! Thanks
Great vid, i can just say that you could mention that wheels 1 and 2 are for external mics loudness control, and since i havent use it before, i concluded that myself from your tut. (I know, its obvieous, but would be nice to make whole introduction for noobs).
Thank you for your video! I have a question, I am trying to connect a lavalier mic to the ZoomH5 and I don't get it :( I have a smartLav+ and I bought the SC3 adaptor but still I can't record, would you please give me any advice? thank you and have a nice day!!
..and one more question...Can you record in Stereo with the XLR mics? I am sometimes asked by an agent to send them an mp3 file rather than a wav. Since you can't record an mp3 in multi mode, is it safe to recored an mp3 in stereo with an XLR mic? I have a CAD E 100S. Thanks, agian.
help me with two problems with my H5: 1. I’m using a Shure m58 with standard cable to input 1/2 and Audio-Technica headphones connected to the phone-jack (upper lefthand side of the H5). I have to set the input-volume dials for 1/2 to nearly 7 just to hear myself through the headphones and I hear an annoying “hiss”. Why can’t the unit be more sensitive and I be able to hear from 1-6???? I thought for sure that it would be a beautiful sound that I could hear, crisp and without hiss and at a lower input-volume setting (1-6)? Am I connecting incorrectly? Please help me!
Quick question about the scroll real if anybody can answer this. I have been looking into using the zoom H5 as a temporary/portable solution for getting into voiceover work. The issue that I face with a lot of portable recording devices, however, is that I have a visual impairment so sometimes all of these menus can be rather in accessible to me. My question is as you turn the scroll wheel does it click as you move through each option? And I’m not talking about an auditory click because I know it doesn’t do that. I’m talking about a tactile sensation. Also if you were to just spin the wheel a bunch of times to get directly to the top or the bottom of the menu does it stop at the ends of the menu or does it continue cycling through the menu backwards and or forwards over and over again as you continue to spin the wheel. I hope these questions make sense. Please let me know if I can provide any clarification. My thinking is that if the scroll wheel does have some kind of tactile clicking sensation I can memorize how many clicks it takes to get to the various menu options so that I can actually use the device in the ways discussed in this video. Thank you so much.
Hi, Thank you for this. Very helpful. However, on my new Zoom H5, both the 1 and 2 lights come on simultaneously, instead of one at a time, as in your video. Would you know why? Thanks.
You don’t have to turn the Zoom H5 off and back on to use it as a card reader or USB interface. Just go to the USB tab in the menu and select which device you want.
Watching this 48 hours before a film shoot, my first time doing sound/using the zoom h5, thank you so much for this helpful information!
good luck dude
Same here !
Hahah im watching 2h before shoot.. hahaha tryy me my guy

FABULOUS video and introduction to the H5. Truly useful. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this super practical guide! It helped me get up and running with my H5.
I love that a high school how-to vid is teaching all of us how to properly use an H5 :D
Being a/not that bright and b/terrified of technology, this is my go-to video everytime I forget the basics. Well done and thanks for your generosity.

Great video. Which jack on the side (line out or headphones) do I use if I want to listen to the play back of any of the recorded material? Either I have horrible headphones, or I need a therapist.
Thank you, it was very useful
Very helpful thank you

awesome! now I know what i'm doing
great content

Hi.
Is there any way to use external microphone with the 6.3 mm jack?
i would have wanted to know more about the specific details for use
Pretty cool
thank you for this
Wow this was really handy (hehe) but for real, great information!
At :40'ish seconds the volume up/down controls not only the headphone out port but also the internal speaker of the unit.
very nice and clear explaination
Thanks!
Excellent video sir. Is there a part 2?
muy bien explicado
Thank you for your video! I have a question, I am trying to connect a lavalier mic to the ZoomH5 and I don't get it :( I have a smartLav+ and I bought the SC3 adaptor but still I can't record, would you please give me any advice? thank you and have a nice day!!
Does it have any built in sound effects? Like say talking through a phone?
We have those Zoomes at my school. It helped me a lot for the first time I used it at production.
..and one more question...Can you record in Stereo with the XLR mics? I am sometimes asked by an agent to send them an mp3 file rather than a wav. Since you can't record an mp3 in multi mode, is it safe to recored an mp3 in stereo with an XLR mic? I have a CAD E 100S.
Thanks, agian.
late to the party but this helped me lots.
Man. This shows you the benefits of having an actual teacher showing you something. Keep on Rocking Mr Watson; it ain't elementary ;-)

It offers the "Mono Mix on/off" mode, correct?
Hi,
Thank you for this. Very helpful. However, on my new Zoom H5, both the 1 and 2 lights come on simultaneously, instead of one at a time, as in your video. Would you know why?
Thanks.
Super Super.
Just curious about your caution with the SD slot… are they prone to breakage?
Hello, Can lavalier microphone with 3.5mm jack be connected to Zoom h5? Thanks
Thanks.
can you use both mics and the onboard mics at the same time?
You don’t have to turn the Zoom H5 off and back on to use it as a card reader or USB interface. Just go to the USB tab in the menu and select which device you want.
How do you feel about him saying don't remove the SD card due to stress ?
