Sescom LN2MIC-ZMH4-MON Line Out to Camera Mic In Headphone Tap Cable

Comments about Sescom LN2MIC-ZMH4-MON Line Out to Camera Mic In Headphone Tap Cable:

being able to monitor what audio goes into the camera is an essential part of recording pro video. I run with a zoom H4N and I like the piece of mind of piping the audio into the camera as a secondary backup in case something goes wrong.

This little cable allows a direct line signal to record beautifully into a DSLR while giving the option to plug in headphones and make sure you're getting no peaking.

I use this cable to connect my Zoom H4N to my Nikon D7000. I love that fact that this cable gives me a headphone out jack. It works perfectly!!! I use B&H for my mission critcal purchases. I ordered the cable with overnight shipping! It arrived on time!

Sending audio from the Zoom recorder directly to the Canon 5D II has simplified our post process tremendously. The 20db pad in the cable sends an optimal level to the 5D and still allows us to record at an even higher resolution in the Zoom should we need it. The cable is short to avoid unbalanced interference, so be prepared to mount your Zoom recorder near your tripod head or the camera.

This sounds good when it is working... If you move the camera and the cable moves, you get nice loud white noise pops in your audio. Worst yet, you can't hear the pops while shooting. Then surprise! Bad audio...(can we shoot that again?) I like the way it sounds, but I just don't trust it.

-Allows use of external boom and headphones at the same time if using t3i
- the female jack can clink against equipment in windy weather

Sound out of my Canon 5dII has never been this good.

Works like a charm and I can actually hear the difference on my H1! Wish this came out much earlier. Would've been even better for my 5DII

No problems. Attenuates the cable and gives me clean audio. Used with Canon 5d mark 2 and zoom h4n.

The LN2MIC-ZMH4-MON Line Out is so simple in design but makes audio editing so easy. Just plug the cable into your H4N on one end and the other end into your camera and you're ready to record the recorders audio onto the cameras memory card. Couldn't be easier. Great product...I would definitely recommend it.

Comments about Sescom LN2MIC-ZMH4-MON Line Out to Camera Mic In Headphone Tap Cable:

Good concept, seems a little short because the recorder picks up any noises from touching the camera, focusing, etc. and needs to be off the camera. The cord won't allow much separation. Otherwise well made but way overpriced.

I got this with the H4n dSLR kit. The inputs and outputs are clearly marked. However, the construction of the wire could have been better. 90º joints for should have been used so less wire is sticking out from the side of the dSLR. That brings up an issue for the videographer if he or she is moving around a lot, since the wires are more vulnerable to break from being bumped on items.

Well designed to plug the zoom h4n into 5D. But then I feel that recording audio on the 5D is not a good idea. Just get a SD card.

Does exactly what it says. Checked audio levels on my hdslr and they are clean. Very close to the H4N's recording. Only caveat is that I had to get a Fiio E5 headphone amp because the audio levels were a bit low. Not sure if this is a fault of the product. Probably just the nature of sending audio at a lower level into my camera.

I bought one of these for my Canon 60D and Zoom H4n. Still testing it out, but here is a video to look at before you go this route. I tried using a regular mini to mini and it works using this guys setup. Can't monitor, but even with the Sescom cable you aren't getting audio out of the camera which would be better.Wires were a bit too long and thin, but that's just me.http://vimeo.com/18109551

Works exactly as advertised with my Panasonic Lumix GH2 (additional 3.5mm - 2.5mm adapter needed). Set the internal camera audio record level to 1 (lowest), and fed it from my Zoom H4n. Comfortable audio monitoring level from the recorder and excellent audio recording at the camera. No hiss or distortion, and saves the time needed to sync separate audio to the video. Some will find the price point a bit high, but for the amount of time it saves me, it will pay for itself within a couple of shoots.

I use this cable with my T3i and my H4N recorder. The cable work very good and improve my production capabilities. It could be a little bit longer, although its all fine.

This works perfectly for getting sound out of a portable recorder (like a Zoom H4n) and into both headphones and your Canon DSLR. I know cameras but I'm a novice when it comes to sound and I had no idea you needed to lower the signal before piping it into these cameras. Works like a charm.

Having come from the world of film/cinema where shooting "double system" sound is customary, I wanted a way to have both in-camera sync and double system at the same time when shooting video with the Canon 5DMkII.

With the Sescom LN2MIC-ZMH4N I can record double system with the H4N while, at the same time record high-quality, usable audio directly into the camera.

In this way, if I'm satisfied with the in-camera audio I can dispense with the annoying, time-consuming task of syncing the H4N audio to the 5DMkII video. A real time saver.

And, the Sescom unit turns the in-camera audio signal into something usable and of high quality versus the poor audio that DSLRs record natively.

When coupled with a good off-camera microphone DSLR audio delivers what DSLR video already does.

The headphone monitor jack is also a big plus.

For any serious DSLR videographer wanting usuable in-camera sound recording the LN2MIC-ZMH4 is a must have accessory in the kit.

works awesome, now I can monitor audio going into my DSLR cam.

Use it on my DSLR to connect audio recorder and head phones. Be sure to get good headphones to complement this unit. Be sure to check levels on camera and device
