Why I Updated to My Zoom F8n Pro in an Orca Sound Bag.

I've finally updated my multitrack field recorder from the trusty, old Tascam Portacapture X8 to the Zoom F8n Pro. It's vastly improved features include SMPTE timecode, more inputs and outputs as well as a dual SD card safety backup. I've also updated my sound bag to an Orca 272 for added mobility, protection and appearance on set. Additionally, I'll discuss using an affordable USB power bank for all day usage on set.
