Does this work well plugging directly into the Zoom H4N recorder and then going out into the DSLR and recording audio directly into it via the Zoom?

It's the same as an audio input that many larger DSLRs have, yes. The mic is optional, quite cheap and bad quality especially compared to any zoom recorder.

Using this mic or the Zooms mic? No reason you can't pass a signal through the zoom. The adapter is a mini stereo input so any mic source can feed through

I shoot DSLR video with multiple cameras. I wanted to find a way to mic up several people at once without having to buy multiple lav receiver/transmitters. (they are extremely expensive). I've was able to connect 5 lavalier mics to it. And plugged it into a Zoom H2N recorder. It works worked perfectly fine for me without any volume loss or audio degradation whatsoever. here the link to the lavs i used. http://www.amazon.com/Neewer-3-5mm-Hands-Computer-Microphone/dp/B005DJOI8I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382035340&sr=8-1&keywords=5x+lavalier And this is the audio recorder: http://www.amazon.com/Zoom-H2N-H2n-Handy-Recorder/dp/B005CQ2ZY6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382035397&sr=8-1&keywords=zoom+h2n

If is was me...I recommended check this under the Zoom H1 manual.It might help answer your question.

I use it that way currently. It is very good sound, and I use it at the end of a boom pole since I don't have other materials. The sound is more about getting a good level on the H1, keeping positioning during the take, and EQ. You press record on the H1, also on the dslr, then its easy to sync it up in post.

You probably could with an adapter, but you would not be happy with the sound. I've tried direct audio into the canon cameras and it has been terrible. I run it into a zoom h4n with great results.

As these are condenser mics, you'll need phantom power. My Zoom H4n recorder's "Battery" setting had to be turned on before I could record. I don't know if a GoPro has a setting like that or not. The headphone connection of course just needs to be connected to your audio source (output). BTW, these are great mics/headphones.

No not always this cable is the perfect mating cable for Zoom H4N recorders when connecting to Canon D5 MkII but also works great for other similar mic preamps and DSLR cameras that require 25db of attenuation.

Yes you can use this setup to record right to the camera, or you can use an external recorder like a Zoom H4N etc.

No issues. It will improve the audio immensely. Experiment on whether to use setting 1, 2, or 3 for mic level in camera will suit your needs. I go to the zoom h1 for recording but you can go to the camera direct.

Yes. The mini preamp provides a full sized XLR, so it works with most high quality gear. I use mine with the Zoom H4N, which is very similar.

It depends on the quality of sound you want. Recording directly from your DSLR sounds terrible and very tinny. I have an Beachtek XLR adapter for recording audio on my DSLR.

it will plug in, and will record audio to your camera. however, i bought this mic for my t3i and was horribly disappointed with the terrible audio. there was a lot of hiss/noise. the mic pro was a much better investment

I don't think you can mix that on the Zoom H2n itself, but this is easily done on a PC using software like Audacity or Audition -- I think the H4n might be able to do this on the Zoom itself as it has a basic mixer

I haven't. I had to return it to Amazon as I could not get either the camera or the microphone to work. I have replaced it with another camera/microphone which works perfectly. I do not know if it was a defect in that particular unit or an incompatibility with my system software or hardware. My business is Data Processing consulting and I know a lot about the hardware and software on my PC and could not get it to work at all, so after many different trials, I gave up and purchased a similar but different unit and it worked the first time. No trouble at all.

Yes. I use the camera input audio. Make sure you use a high gain microphone for best results. I'm using a Creative Sounds boom microphone.

Yes, the speaker is pretty good actually for a recorder of this size. In that sense it is better than my Zoom H1.

It does work with T4I. You can't hear it while you're recording But you can hear it on the playback. What I do is adjust the rec volume and then do a sound check. I love it, it works perfect. Make sure you have extra batteries on hand.
