Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will a Sanken COS-11D work with this?

A: Yes,, you can use a Sanken COS-11D, but the microphone must have a locking 3.5mm connector for compatibility with the input on the Zoom F2-BT. For example, you can use the Sanken COS-11D Omni Lavalier Mic, Normal Sens, Hardwired 1/8" TRS Connector for Sennheiser Evolution Wireless Transmitter (B&H # SAC11WNSETRB). Microphones wired for use with Sennheiser transmitters are compatible with the F2 and F2-BT, but microphones wired for Sony transmitters are not compatible because the wiring is different.

A: The Zoom F2-BT Ultracompact Bluetooth-Enabled Portable Field Recorder with Lavalier Microphone BH #ZOF2BT does not allow monitoring over bluetooth. It is only as a remote for functionality. The smartphone app can be used for remote control functions such as record start/stop, low-cut filtering, output volume, and battery display, but does not provide a way to listen to the audio. The headphone jack on the F2 provides a 3.5mm output to listen and monitor the audio while recording.

Q: 9. if you had to compare this to rode wireless go in order to record audio to camera etc?

A: This is a fairly sophisticated recorder, that comes with a wired lav mic, and features bluetooth control, and 32-bit float recording. You would get very food recordings in this unit, but would then sync them to your video in post production. The quality would be better than the Rode WIreless Go, but the Rode system is a microphone and the audio signal goes right to your camera, making for less post production work.
