About the Zoom F2-BT:
Rent the Zoom F2-BT in Los Angeles from F22 Studios. The F2-BT is a tiny body-worn 32-bit float recorder designed for documentary subjects, reality and unscripted television, interview backup, wedding and event audio, and any situation where a wireless link is impractical, unreliable, or simply not worth the RF coordination.
The premise is simple: instead of transmitting audio to a receiver, the F2-BT records it at the source. Clip the recorder to a subject with a lavalier and you get a clean local track with no dropouts, no interference, and no frequency scanning — which matters in RF-hostile venues, on subjects who wander far from the receiver, or on shoots with more talking heads than wireless channels.
Because it records in 32-bit float, there is no input gain to set. The converter captures an enormous dynamic range, so a subject who murmurs through an interview and then laughs loudly both come back usable, and level decisions move to the edit. For unscripted work with unpredictable talkers, that removes the single most common cause of unusable dialog.
The BT version adds Bluetooth for timecode via the optional BTA-1 adapter, so the F2 can be jam-synced and dropped into a multi-camera timeline without manual syncing. It records to microSD, runs on two AAA batteries for roughly fifteen hours, and is small and light enough that subjects forget they are wearing it.
Practical use cases include documentary and reality subjects, panel and roundtable discussions where every participant needs a track, wedding officiant and vow audio, backup recording underneath a wireless lav, and any long-form interview where redundancy is cheap insurance. Pairs well with our Sennheiser and Lectrosonics wireless as a backup track, and with any of our camera packages. Available now for rental at F22 Studios in Burbank, serving productions across greater Los Angeles.
