Budget recording device

[pubrunner]

Hi All,

I'm tentatively looking into getting a budget recording device, to accompany video footage taken from an iPhone 11. We're not seeking to do anything more ambitious, than recording fairly close up - outside.

I've seen someone using a Zoom H1n and the results seemed pretty impressive - given the cost.

I'll probably buy one . . . unless someone can give pressing reasons why I should get something else. Ultimately, I'm looking for something that will give acceptable quality and must be easy to use.

I've also seen this, which gets good reviews . . .

If anyone can give any guidance based on experience of using either device, I'd be pleased to receive your thoughts.

Thank you.
