About this deal

With simple post processing his needs can probably be achieved with lighter less expensive kit, however, he appears to have an experienced friend to help and I'm sure he can assist him in this matter. Remote control is dramatically improved. The P4 was released along with an Android app that enabled the user to perform basic remote control functions. The P5 will have both Android and iOS apps, both of which will give you in-depth control of the device. Shotgun microphones don't actually amplify sound, but they reduce off-axis sounds. So, it won't amplify the sound coming from a far away bird but it can still reject noise from a nearby road (for example). The three have RF biasing (which means they work in humid places), they are sensitive and they have a very low self noise.

But if you can’t remember where you left an important recording, then the Calendar Search function – the second choice on the Home screen, accessed via the F1 button – means you won’t be without it for long, as recordings are displayed according to the time created.The P5 carries two AAA batteries (vs. one in the P4), so maximum recording time (on battery) for any given configuration doubles. Are these settings OK, as a starting configuration in using the LS-P4 with the ME66/K6? I could set the recording level on high, but why introduce noise I don't necessarily need - why not see what the external mic can do on its own? Another feature we love is the line of bright input LEDs along the bottom of the unit. This may sound like a minor thing, but it's so much easier to monitor levels with this eye-catching array of colourful lights than it is trying to make out what's going on in a typically cramped screen, especially from a distance. Whether you’re blogging or vlogging, recording professional video or simply recording an interview, the LS-P4 will elevate your sound to new levels. Vloggers or videographers can attach the LS-P1 to their camera hot shoes via the included adapter. A screw thread adapter facilitates connection to the rear of the unit; the other end slides into the hot shoe and is tightened via a screw clamp.

It’s a bit more expensive, but the Zoom does feature four-channel recording and can be used as a four-in/two-out USB audio interface. At nearly 300g, it weighs a lot more than the Olympus, though. It also requires two batteries rather than one. We tested the LS-P1 with a mixture of speech and music sound sources, and found that selecting a Manual recording level and using the Limiter gave the best results. Automatic recording resulted in some clipping and distortion when recording music. Thank you. I'll definitely consider the Zoom products for the future. I bought the LS-P4 because I need to start with something very portable and light in weight, so I can bring it with me without an external mic, and carry it to work in my briefcase. It is also easy to use in the hand to record radio broadcasts. The elephant in the room is Apple's lightning connector. European regulators are putting pressure on Apple to ditch its Lightning connector in favour of a universal standard such as USB-C. If they are successful, then the MV88 may be forced into early obsolescence.

Used as a shotgun mic on the camera hot shoe, the LS-P1 works well. The microphones sit above the front of the camera body, rather than above the lens, so won’t be too close to the speaker when used handheld for vlogging. The recording unit is 11x4x1.5cm and weighs only 75grams with the supplied ‘AAA’ rechargeable battery inserted. I've received m LS-P4, and here are the settings I'm thinking of using with the ME66/K6 mic I'm going to receive this week:
