Doug, if you go with the H5, before you go out and spend more $ on mics, record with the H5 for a while.

The problem with mics .....

$100 - 1st I bought a 990/991 MXL pair (LDC and SDC)

$150 (?) - Then I bought a AKG Perception 150 (SDC)

$200 - Then I bought a Rodes NT-5 (SDC)

$250 Then I bought a Sterling ST-170 (ribbon mic)

$300 then I bought two AT-2035 (LDC)

Ok, so yes if I feel like it I can experiment with the Rodes and the AKG as a spaced pair, etc, and mess around with the other ones, etc but I spent what, $1,000 when all I really needed to spend was the $300 on the two AT2035 mics! I guess its all part of the hobby

I also have 2 mic booms that I use (along with several desktop booms laying around)

Doug Young had pointed me in the direction of a small bar that screws into the bottom of the H5 and then it attaches with a clamp to one of my mic booms. This thing is great because the Zoom is very light and can go flying if your foot gets wrapped up in a mic cable and tugs it.
