The Zoom H4n Pro is a fantastic low-cost solution for filmmakers and video producers on a budget, especially if they are using DSLR or mirrorless cameras to capture video. Since those do not have the professional XLR inputs, and usually have poor audio pre-amps, the H4n Pro comes in very handy and allows users to plug in 2 x wireless lavalier mic systems or shotgun microphones for dialogue, or a mixture of the two.
The Zoom H4n Pro uses SDHC cards for redording media and is powered via 2 x AA standard batteries. The
