There is no update to the Zoom H1Essential or Zoom H4 Essential. The H6E update has timestamps from August 19, 2024, but I don't know when it was uploaded. The H6 Essential Control iOS app was updated on August 22.
@BorrisInABox What is a shotgun mic?
@mcourcel It's basically a very directional, very long-range pick-up microphone. It's whole point is to pick up everything directly line-of-site to the front for a long while, and reject everything to the sides and rear. Good for when you need precise focus.
@BorrisInABox Ah, cool! Audio can be so interesting.
@mcourcel A friend and I once put a shotgun mic inside a parabolic reflector, otherwise known as a surplus radar dish. The combination of the reflector and the already very directional shotgun mic meant that we were able to pick up a bird call from about 2.5 miles away like it was right next to us.
@BorrisInABox Hehehe lol. That's so cool!
@BorrisInABox looks like no update to the zoom H1Essential yet.
