Shopping frenzy: Bought Zoom H1 mic - any tips?

[AmbossTV]

Well, for weeks I thought about it but didn't want to buy anything wrong but then yesterday evening I thought "&%&% it, just buy one finally!". So I pressed "ad to cart" on Amazon. It's the Zoom H1 mic which I will now use for interior filming (vlogs and maybe some sketches). I read it's not so good for outdoor use but I bought a wind shield anyway. Let's see.

Does anyone else have it and has any good startup tips? Ideally I'll hook it directly into the camera.
If it works at all I might also use it in the streets for kind of interview style videos but not sure if it's any good for it.

I use a h4n, works perfectly outdoors

I'm also looking into buying this or something of the sort. I want something to plug my Røde Videomic Pro into and record offboard. I wouldn't mind just buying an adapter to use my phone but can't find any. Another thing I would really like on such device is headphone monitoring.

Good to hear. I bet anything's better than the internal mic of the camera and at some point I just thought I have to end this research and just try one out.

Looks like Rødes SC6 adaptor should do the trick
