As an addition to the H1 recorder you can't beat this little accessory pack. The windshield is a must for all outdoor recording. The power pak is necessary if you are going to use the H1 indoors for extended periods of time (like those boring meetings that go on and on, well beyond the life of any self respecting battery)! Likewise the tripod. The hard case gives you protection for you H1 and is an absolute must have.
However, I would like to see this pak bundled with the H! as a total package.

The case is very useful. After that, I basically only use the wind screen. The tripod seems cheeply made but does work. I already had a USB cable but that could be useful for those that don't - it is not absolutely necessary since the Zoom itself comes with a micro SD card AND a regular SD adapter. I would recommend this accessory package at this price point.

Comments about Zoom APH-1 Accessory Package for H1:
When I bought the Zoom1 there was a promotion on that included this accessory pack as well for no extra cost. Gladly I ordered it as well and I am happy I got it. The most usefull part of the pack is the hard case which will help to keep the very light weight Zoom H1 safe but also the windsock is a nice bonus as well and really works. The tripod is very iffy and you wouldnt want it to be too windy and the other bits I haven't yet used but it will be nice to have them when I need them.

The quality of the included accessories aren't the best, can't lie about that. But I can't very well give anything less than 5 stars since these are essentially free when you buy the package opposed to the Zoom H1 alone at the same price.

ok so for the price this is awesome! ProsThe case is nice. The windscreen works. USB cable and USB wall wart works with anything USB powered at 5v. Decent yet small tripod. Mic body adapter to mount on a boom stand or use to isolate the H1 from noise while holding it with your hand.Cons Case is small and only holds the H1 but thats what its for. Tripod is weak but holds the H1 just fine. It will break before too long for sure.For the price i paid ([$]) this pack is more than worth it. If you need a small case to carry your H1 then just buy this the other stuff is icing on the cake!

Most items are good in this package. The foam does a decent job and the H1 fits nicely in the case. I didn't try out the mic stand yet but it was an awkward fit when i tried to screw it in. The mini tripod shouldn't be in there. I can barely hold the weight of the H1 and foam cover without tumbling over at a sudden nudge. And the tripod just feels cheap.
Cable and power supply are self-explanatory
I would recommend if its for a basic starter kit for the cable, foam and case at a discounted package deal. But or higher quality, buy them separately.

Cheap construction on all the items except the zoom case. There are better products online purchased individually than offered in this pack for about the same money.

The case is great to have, the AC adapter is good too, the mic handle is essential, the tripod is cute, and the foam windscreen is alright but necessary. The Zoom H1 is very sensitive, and the windscreen in this pack should be the minimum you use on it, a fuzzy one would be better. It would be rad if this came with a shock mount too because the H1 is really sensitive to handling noise.

This Accessory pack is pretty useful for my Zoom H1. I haven't used it that much yet but it has came in handy indeed. One of the only things I wish was a little bit better quality was the stand it's self. It work fine, but could use being a little bit taller and more durable.

Most of the time I pass on the accessory kits that are offered with electronics. They are either too expensive, include too many items that are not all that useful, or there are other aftermarket accessories that are both better and less costly. This accessory kit seems an exception. It was inexpensive, and most of the items seem quit useful; those being the case,tripod stand, and foam wind screen.

The cover helps protect the H1 during travel. You can even keep it in the pouch to record, if you have all the buttons set as you like.
I liked the tripod. It's not fantastic, but it has a variety of configurations and keeps noise from handling to a minimum. I actually put the H1 on a camera tripod most of the time, it has better noise suppression, but this is OK for song sketches and recording piano/vocal improvs (as I do).
The USB cable/power adaptor was the main reason I got the pack, that and the cover. It's worth it for these things alone. The foam cover for the mics works fine, I don't record outside much but it did help blunt some of the crowd noise when recording a local band (the H1 sound quality is awesome!). The plastic handle for holding the recorder is not used by me, but if you were recording conversations, it might be useful, as the H1 picks up any touching of its body quite well. I wish the H1 had a remote control, for that reason.

Comments about Zoom APH-1 Accessory Package for H1:
The H-1 is worth using extensively, and worth babying. At any price, this recorder would be a good value. For a $100 recorder, the thing is phenomenal. Alas, the build is decidedly low-budget, so the case alone that comes with this package is worth $20. But the charger, windscreen, tripod, and hand-holding handle can be most useful, particularly since an 8 gb mini card will get you 8 hours of recording time. So, being able to set it up and let it run for long stretches without worry about mic-handling noise, mild wind disturbance, or battery juice is comforting. Battery life (single AA) is excellent, so the charger will be useful only in the most demanding settings. I've got an H4, and this little baby stacks up very well against it. So, the extra protection of the case, and the handy additions make the kit well worth the money.

Comments about Zoom APH-1 Accessory Package for H1:
I mostly use this package for field recording, but sadly most of the items included are completely useless. The wind screen is nice, but I would instead recommend a dead cat/"fuzzy" screen. The tripod is completely useless, whereas the handle is only useful is some situations. The case and USB A/C adapter are definitely the most useful items in the package. But for the price I shouldn't complain.

I actually bought this for the case, to protect the fragile zoom H1 which is really good. As for the other accessories I don't think I'll be using them much, since my zoom H1 will be on my camera most of the time.
