Question 1

What does this device actually record onto - some sort of a memory card or flash drive? I'm looking for something that will record at least 6 hours.

Accepted Answer

You get roughly 12 hours on the 2GB micro SD card included, in MP3 320kbps. Quality is excellent.

If you want WAV format your looking at about 2.5 hours with the stock card.

Larger cards are cheap though so it's upgradable.

Question 2

can I record a piece to video with the Zoom recording my voice and then synch it to video?

Accepted Answer

Sure thing. I use mine as a primary aiduo recorder for my Nikon D5300. I use the sound from the camera as areference track and then stnc the wave file from the Zoom to the video using Final Cut X. Works perfect with much better sound quality.

Question 3

How can I use the zoom h1 as a dslr mic.?   If it is possible do I have to press record on the zoom h1 and and press the record button on the dslr whe

Accepted Answer

Just a note about recording into a dslr: the bitrate and sample rate you set on the zoom doesn't affect the bitrate and sample rate recorded onto the dslr file. Your dslr always determines the bitrate and sample rate. (IE: for most Canon's that's 44khz/16 bit). The audio quality from the zoom will be better than your on-camera mic simply because the microphone itself is higher quality,  but don't expect to be recording 96khz/24 bit audio straight into your dslr's .mov files!

Question 4

Does anyone use multiple recorders at the same time with some sort of syncing software? I plan to use 6 to record classrooms and want sync w/video.

Accepted Answer

There's a pretty simple trick to help with this. Get all the recorders going, then the camera. While in view of the camera, and with the room quiet, clap loudly 3 times. This will give you 3 distinct spikes in the various audio tracks which you can use to synchronize the audio and video tracks.
