The Zoom F2 Field Recorder & Lavalier Mic is our smallest and lightest Recorder with 32-Bt Float Technology ever. It is perfect for podcasters, videographers, bloggers, journalists and more, the F2* is the perfect audio solution for creators on the move.

The F2 features 32-bit float recording technology, allowing you to record the loudest audio signals without worrying about clipping. It will also record the quietest signals in beautiful detail. And the best part is you don’t have to worry about setting the gain. Just plug in the lav and hit record.

Once you start your recording, use the F2’s HOLD switch to ensure you don’t accidentally stop recording. Screw-lock connectors keep your lav plugged-in securely no matter the situation. With the F2 actors can record and playback their lines to perfect their delivery.

The F2-BT comes with built-in Bluetooth. And with the free Zoom F2 Control app the F2-BT can wirelessly start/stop recordings, display battery levels, adjust output volume, control lo-cut nd more. You can also pair the F2-BT with a Bluetooth timecode synchronization device to receive and write timecode* to recorded files.
