If you hold this device in your bare hands while recording you will almost certainly have unwanted noises recorded whenever you move a finger on the body of the unit. This way there is little to none handling noise transferred to the recordings. What I have done is bought the MOVO suspension mount and connected that to a handle grip. You have limiters and compression settings in the menu systems that you can set for all mic inputs or just the ones you want separately.On the back of the unit is the battery compartment and a standard tripod screw hole so you can attach this to a tripod, boom pole or a cold shoe adapter. You have a large GAIN dial for each XLR input as well as GAIN dial for the mic capsule at the top. It is simple and effective and functional which is all you want and need. The device requires 2 AA batteries (included) or you can power via USB using a power bank if you wish!The design of the unit is sort of retro with buttons and knobs rather than just having a large screen with stylish, modern looking interface. The mic capsule at the top of the device also has a Line In 3.5mm jack. I has all the usual connections headphones, line out, USB, and a remote connecter. So although it is large it fits in one hand comfortably. It does come with a hard case included though, but it would require a bag or carry case to put it into if travelling or on the move. If you're looking for a dictaphone then, although this works well, it's not pocket sized. Oh and it was too!OK so it's not a small recorder. Just as long as the quality was good enough. Owning one of these meant I could sell my microphones and other recorders, both hand held and studio, and just use this instead. Anyway I decided on the H5 and man what a recorder this is! The main thing that pulled me in was the interchangeable microphones coupled with the portability. Stupid I know but you know what it's like when you like a certain brand. I loved their recorders and didn't want to switch to another brand. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2019 I love this thing so much I sold my Tascam!!
