Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can we Jam Timecode into the F2 via the mic input?

A: No, the Zoom F2-BT Portable Field Recorder can be synced to external Timecode, but only via Bluetooth. The Atomos UltraSync BLUE Wireless Timecode Sync (B&H # ATOMSYBL01US) is the Timecode device that is recommended by Zoom for use with the F2-BT Recorder.

Q: 2. 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.

Q: 3. I understand that you can't monitor the audio levels via the app but can you receive error messages like 'card full' via bluetooth?

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: 4. I have Red Komodo that I need timecode sync for zoomf2 BT version. The UltraSync Blue does not plug into Komodo so how do I sync it? Will zoom f2 BT work with tentacle sync gen for red komodo? If not what timesync generator can I get for Red Komodo and wc B box 5 pin lemon timecode out?

A: This unit uses time code through Bluetooth and will connect wirelessly to Ultrasync Blue devices.

Q: 5. Can you use the Bluetooth feature on this to pair with wireless earbuds for audio monitoring, or pair this with other gear that uses Bluetooth?

A: No, Bluetooth on the F2-BT is used for app control and wireless timecode.

Q: 6. How is time code supported?

A: Timecode support is available via a Bluetooth connection with an UltraSync BLUE device such as BH #ATOMSYBL01US.

Q: 7. Due to the large size of the included mic I am looking for a compatible mic with a smaller head. My Senal UTM-86 LAV MIC w/3.5mm-SENN does work, but the audio levels are very low. Could the Rode Lavalier II Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with its Operating Voltage or Plug-In Power of 1.5 to 5 V be used with the F2? Will the F2 provide enough power to the Rode to give the necessary audio levels? Or which mic could be recommended?

A: Yes, the Rode Lavalier II Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is compatible for use with the Zoom F2 Field Recorder. The F2 provides 2.5V of plug-in power and any lavalier or headset style microphones that are wired for compatibility with Sennheiser wireless microphone transmitters and can operate with 2.5V can be used with the F2.

Q: 8. How do you monitor the audio? I don't see a headphone jack (unless it's the output?) and it appears as though wireless/bluetooth monitoring is impossible via the app.

A: You can use the output jack to connect headphones for monitoring audio. The F2-BT's Bluetooth is used for app control and timecode which requires the UltraSync BLUE (B&H #ATOMXSYBL1US). If you want to connect Bluetooth headphones, you could connect a separate Bluetooth adapter such as the GOgroove BlueSENSE TRM Bluetooth Audio Transmitter (B&H #GOBLUESENSE) to transmit audio from the F2's output to your Bluetooth headphones.

Q: 9. What is the file size per minute of recording?

A: Information on file size per minute of recording has not been provided by the manufacturer. However, the F2 and F2-BT can be used with microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards up to 512 GB (Class 4 or higher).

Q: 10. Can the f2-bt be timecode jammed with devices other than timecode systems blue. What other Bluetooth devices can be used?

A: You will need to use a Bluetooth timecode generator in order to sync timecode with Bluetooth adapter fitted in the Zoom F2-BT Ultracompact Bluetooth-Enabled Portable Field Recorder. The Atomos UltraSync BLUE Wireless Timecode Sync (B&H # ATOMSYBL01US) is the model that is currently recommended by Zoom.
