In this video I talk about my experiences with the Zoom H5, a handy recorder that can be used for field recording or any other recording purposes. I use the Zoom H5 already since 10 years, and I have many experiences that I can share with you. I give a full review of the recorder when it comes to field recording, I do a hardware and software demonstration and also a recording demostration where I show you how it actually sounds like.
In the end I summarize it by giving you the pros and cons of the Zoom H5 and if it is still worth it to buy this recorder, even after 10 years.
