Q: 4. Hi tehre, I am wondering if I can mount this monitor without any additional pieces of equipment to my DJI Ronin M, which has already a DJI Ronin-M Monitor Accessory Mount installed? Or do I need anything additional so I can mount it to my DJI Ronin M?Thanks for letting me know!

A: Either recorder can be used. It's really a matter of which recorder offers the features and audio quality you need, such as how many mics you are going to be using simultaneously, the number of audio tracks you will need, as well as the resolution of the recording. The F6 has 6 mic inputs and can record up to 14 tracks of audio at 192 kHz / 32-bit while the H6 has 4 mic inputs (expandable to 6 with the optional Zoom EXH-6 Dual XLR/TRS Combo Input Capsule - B&H # ZOEXH6) and can record up to 6 tracks of audio at 96 kHz / 24-bit. Additionally, the F6 has timecode and the H6 does not. The F6 has a built-in limiter and the H6 offers compressor, limiter, low-cut filter, and pitch control, and also has swappable modules.
