ZOOM – Professional Field Recorder F3

The ideal 32-bit audio recorder for wildlife videographers and photographers!

Small in size, big in sound

The Zoom F3 is a compact and high-performance audio recorder, perfect for capturing natural sounds in the field.

Thanks to 32-bit float recording technology, it effortlessly captures everything from the faintest sounds — like rustling leaves or birdsong — to the loudest roars, without ever distorting.

Whether you’re filming the deer rut, a colony of seabirds, or rain falling in the forest, the F3 delivers faithful, natural, and high-resolution sound up to 192 kHz.

Its compact design allows easy placement within your photo or video setup while ensuring precise sound control.

The F2 Editor app (Mac/PC) simplifies settings adjustment, SD card formatting, and file transfer via USB connection.

Built for the field and extreme conditions

Designed for outdoor use, the Zoom F3 features a rugged metal body, reinforced side bars, non-slip rubber feet, and a standard tripod mount.

Locking XLR connectors provide maximum security, even in humid or windy environments.

With up to 15 hours of battery life using two AA batteries and support for microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards up to 1 TB, the F3 is ready for your longest wildlife recording sessions.

Stress-free audio capture

In wildlife recording, sound levels can change unpredictably — a distant call, a sudden wingbeat, or a powerful roar.

With 32-bit float recording, the Zoom F3 automatically adapts to the dynamic range of your scene, no gain adjustments needed, and no risk of clipping.

In post-production, you’ll recover the full richness and detail of your soundscape, from the softest to the loudest sounds.

Professional audio quality

Part of Zoom’s professional F-Series, the F3 includes dual A/D converters and ultra-low-noise preamps (-127 dB ON) used in cinematic production.

The result: pure, precise, and detailed sound, even in complex outdoor environments.

Audio interface and streaming

The Zoom F3 also functions as a USB audio interface, allowing you to record or stream directly to a computer or iOS device — up to 2 channels in 24-bit / 96 kHz.

Its loopback function combines field audio with computer sound, perfect for nature livestreams or commented video edits.
