Zoom F1 Field Recorder with Shotgun Microphone

You’re out shooting the next scene—on location, unpredictable, maybe a bit chaotic in the audio department. The Zoom F1 Field Recorder with Shotgun Mic (SGH-6) is built for exactly those moments. With its hyper-directional shotgun microphone, it focuses on what matters—your subject—and suppresses ambient noise so dialogue and key sound cues ring out with clarity.

Pair the mic with the F1 recorder and you get:

Pro-level audio resolution up to 24-bit / 96 kHz — enough fidelity that post-production has room to work.

A built-in shock mount (SMF-1) and windscreen (WSS-6) to tame vibration and wind noise.

Dual output: feed sound to your camera via the included 3.5 mm cable while simultaneously recording clean audio internally to a microSD card — perfect for syncing later.

A bright, monochrome display that stays readable even under bright sunlight, convenient one-touch controls, limiter, pre-record mode, and sound markers to make life easier when capturing tricky takes.

Flexible power options: run off two AAA batteries (alkaline, lithium, or NiMH) or use an AC adapter.
