Power cable at the recorder

Does this sound familiar? – “Where the heck is the cable to connect the recorder to the power bank?”

To be honest, this happens to us all the time, and it’s just getting annoying. 
But there’s a solution to every problem.

Here you see a Zoom F8n Pro with the USB C -> Hi-Rose 4 Pin Adapter. The cable is about 50 cm long.

 

Now take the middle of the cable and thread it through the opening in the side of the handle.

Now thread both plugs through the loop and set them aside loosely.

Now you can put the recorder back in your backpack (don't forget fresh batteries!) and you'll always have the recorder and the right cable together and within reach.
