Q: 7. Is it possible to monitor audio with the headphone jack while using the lavalier microphone in an interview setup, where the subject is a few feet away from you? Or would the mic cord not be long enough?

For greater flexibility in setting-up for various camera angles, I would attach the Zoom F1 Recorder to the interviewees waist by belt, etc., and use a 15-20 foot extension cord with 1/8th-inch male and female connectors on ends for extending the cord from your headphones for connecting to the headphone jack.
