Zoom F3 2-Input / 2-Track Portable Stereo Recorder Kit

Forget about clipping, forget about gain, and forget about hassle; just power on the Zoom F3 portable 2-track field recorder and press record to capture clear, distortion-free sound from your external XLR mics in an instant for your next video shoot, interview, or sound design excursion. With two premium mic preamps and 32-bit float technology, the F3 handles the softest and loudest sounds you can throw at it while avoiding distortion, maintaining low-noise performance, and freeing you from the responsibility of adjusting gain. Recordings ruined by clipped converters and poorly set preamps are things of the past.

From the real-time waveform display and one-touch controls to the flexible powering options and precision timecode functionality, the F3 is properly equipped to please novices and demanding veterans alike. Whether you need long-duration stereo recording for an interview, redundant capture of dual-mic setups for a video shoot, or failure-proof recording on location, the F3 has the modes, resolutions, and media support to handle your crucial audio tasks. Plus, its operational versatility ensures that the F3 will always enhance your workflow, be it simple, complex, or always changing. You can feel confident using it as your main recorder, a USB audio interface for your dedicated computer rig, or a backup unit for added safety.

Designed for action cameras and mobile devices, the 64GB Extreme UHS-I microSDXC Memory Card from SanDisk features a storage capacity of 64GB and supports maximum read speeds of 170 MB/s and maximum write speeds of 80 MB/s. This card has also been designed with the V30 Video Speed Class rating, which guarantees minimum write speeds of at least 30 MB/s. All of this allows for users to immerse themselves in extreme sports videography and photography at resolutions of Ultra HD 4K (3840 x 2160) and Full HD (1920 x 1080).

While this card has been designed for cameras that are UHS-I / V30 compatible, it may be used in devices that do not support UHS-I / V30. However, bear in mind that this card will then default to your device's speed class and bus rating, such as UHS-I and U3, which also supports minimum write speeds of 30 MB/s, UHS-I and U1, which supports minimum write speeds of 10 MB/s, or Class 10, which also supports minimum write speeds of 10 MB/s.

Aside from support for UHS-I, V30, and U3, SanDisk also built this card with support for the Application Performance Class 2 (A2) spec, which includes optimizations to give Android users an improved mobile experience, delivering faster mobile app performance. The A1 spec allows the card to manage random read input-output access per second (IOPS) operations so it can quickly open apps and process accompanying tasks, such as audio, graphics, saved profiles, and in-app permissions.

As with most SanDisk media, this memory card is shockproof, X-ray proof, and waterproof, while also being able to withstand temperatures from -13 to 185°F, allowing you to take this card with you into extreme environments, such as snow, deserts, and pools. Should the card's data become compromised, you also benefit from the option to download RescuePRO Deluxe software as well as a limited lifetime warranty. Included is a microSD to SD adapter, allowing this card to be used in SD-compatible devices.

This pack of eneloop Pro AA Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries from Panasonic comes with a charger, and the batteries are pre-charged and ready-to-use. They are not subject to any memory effect so you can charge them up to 500 times whether they are fully or partially drained. They maintain 85% of their charge after one year, and remain functional down to -4°F.

The Audio-Technica AT8022 X/Y Stereo Microphone captures ambiance, live performances and any audio source with accurate stereo imaging and detailed frequency response. The microphone is powered with external phantom power or a 1.5V AA battery making it ideal for use with cameras and portable recording devices.

The capsule features two condenser capsules mounted in an X/Y configuration. Its innovative coincident capsule configuration produces accurate stereo image in a smaller housing. The microphone features a 5-pin XLR output connector. Dual 3-pin XLR and single 1/8" (1.5mm) stereo mini cables are supplied. Also included is a stand adapter, windscreen and protective pouch.

The PG2-R Pistol Grip Shockmount from RØDE is designed to reduce handling noise when recording with a shotgun microphone in handheld or boompole-mounted applications. It is equipped with dual Rycote Lyre mounts that ensure maximum isolation from handling vibrations. Featuring four possible mounting points for a complete range of compatible Rode microphones, the shockmount has a lightweight handle, which has a cushioned grip that houses multiple cable mounting points.

With a dedicated space for the PG2-R Pro Cable XLR connector (sold separately), a heavy-duty locking nut on the side for the handle ensures smooth adjustment of your microphone angle. In addition, 3/8"-16 threads at the base of the handle provides a secure connection to boompoles and microphone stands.
