I definitely recommend the Redhead but my opinion is highly biased. I’d recommend getting what you can afford for sure : ) lotsa stuffs in this fantastical world of filmmaking. Happy shooting!

Am sure they are all fine, for me to recommend gear I can only go with what I have used and I have the REDHEAD and love it, am sure others products are great too.

Hi Philip,

I generally go by your suggestion for new gear so thought I’d hope for a response.

Can you recommend yea or nay to a furryhead as opposed to redhead?

Price is a bit better for my wallet as I’m starting out getting gear, but they’re half as much, wanted to see if you’ve field tested one?

The video link a friend sent was pretty funny though, gave me a laugh. Hope to hear from you & love your site!

What do you use to mount the H4n on the camera?

I love using the original RedHead in Red! With the H4n mounted on the camera it’s like a tally light. Speak in this direction. This is important. Can’t miss it. Talks authority. Works really well too. A must-have.

And KP is super cool. His motorcycle video is priceless. 30 seconds of pure clean sound.

it’s the same. it doesn’t record timecode or in a frame rate. just in time so will work with anything

Been watching the H4N and related items. I’ve used a windscreen that was somewhat similar for a cheap shotgun I had. Same type of design, and it would hold up in 50mph winds. I’d be interested to see how well this holds up in high wind. Also, is there a 24p workflow for the H4N? I’ve seen the Tut for the 5DMkII, but what about the 7D?

Thanks in advance.

Received the gray one two weeks ago. Worked extremely well for an outdoor nature shoot to knock out the wind noise. The Zoom H4N + Redhead combo also gave the best sound effect for background waterfalls using the H4N’s built in stereo speakers. Using a Rode Videomic with deadcat hooked 1) directly into my 5Dmk2, or 2) into the H4N gave too harsh a sound; the H4N + Redhead softened the waterfall’s roar nicely.

Awesome! Just might have to get one of those

Hey Philip, do you know if it’s possible to record audio from an external mic into the Zoom and then feed it to a Mark II/7D? I know Pinknoise makes a special cable, but I haven’t gotten a straight answer from anyone if it only records the Zoom’s internal mic audio or if you can use your own mic.

Thanks!
