We just went on holidays in New Caledonia so I took the opportunity to test the Zoom H4n in recording the morning waves in the Isle of Pines. It was our last morning from our trip there, the weather was getting bad but the water was still warm enough for a swim half an hour after this test recording.

New Caledonia is said to be the closest place to heaven on Earth.

The video and photos in the footage were taken with a Nikon P7100. The sound from the built-in mic was too bright lacking of depth. The Redhead Windscreen shielded the Zoom H4n against the noise coming from the wind hitting the microphones.
