Zoom APH-6

If you dont have time to buy all the items here seperately from 3rd party and just want to buy a bundle then thomann here has a decent price compared to the ridiculous rrp of this bundle.

It seems like the reason this bundle is exists is a way to charge a lot more money for a wired remote rather than just selling it on it's own. I bought the bundle expecting there wouldnt be a way to get the same thing cheaper elsewhere but after some research there are 3rd part alternatives for the remote. I can't comment on the quality of those but had i known about them i'd have tried that first.

The product itself is decent quality, so i cant complain about that. i thought maybe the remote would be awkward to use if you couldnt see your h6, but the remote itself has leds on it to display what mode the h6 is currently in. So its veru useful if you are say operating a boom mic with this remote straped to the pole, while recording with the h6 setup as a stereo mice or a second shotgun using the shotgun mic adapter for the h6. although the remote has no mounting options built into it. a camera thread or a place for a velcro stap on it to mount it to a pole/wrist would be useful but it has none, thats going to require some modifications added yourself if you want to do that.

The wire on the remote does seem a little too thin and seems like it could be easily brokenif its treated roughly. But the design is clearly meant to wind away and be compact, hence it being so thin. i'd have prefered if the remote had a jack connector itself and you could replace the wire but the extension in the bundle could act as a break away if anyone trips on, or snags the cable.

the cables are okay quality, the power adapter is fine, althought a uk option for the bundle would be better, i replaced my power adapter from this set with a good quality phone charger with a uk plug.

Given that i think these items really should be included with the h6, the price is a bit steep to pay even at thomanns decent price reduction, so i'm knocking it down in "quality" . Also i'd expect a much more heavy duty remote for this price, even more so at the "full price" of 70 euros the wire on the remote would feel like a complete joke.

Amazing accessories for those situations in which you can work indoor and have access to power supply - as the H6 consumes quite well the external batteries. Having the free mind of not caring about that is great, and working with the remote makes things way easier so that you can keep the recording in the distance while plugged into the electricity and record. For outdoors instead, the dead cat filter is a MUST. The mic capsules are quite delicate and with a minimum of wind you may ruin the recording, therefore it's highly recommended you get this set with your H6. At least you won't have to "fix it in post" with a "de-wind" process.
