They are not hard to diy, 4 electret capsules like Primo EM184. But by the time you've built the holder and preamps, might as well spend $300 on the Zoom H3-VR.

I don't think they have much use outside VR - you basically need head tracking for headphone use (or a lot of speakers)
- codetrotter 8y agoHow different is the H3-VR from the spatial audio of the Zoom H2n? I’ve got an H2n though mostly I’ve only been using it with line-in to record from my synth now and then, so I haven’t really used the spatial audio feature... so actually come to think of it I’m not quite sure why I am even asking :p Oh yeah, when I originally bought my H2n I did so because I wanted to get into field recording. In the end I didn’t find many interesting things to record; traffic - boring, wind in the leaves in the forest - boring, birds singing - birds don’t sing much here, trains - marginally entertaining the first time I recorded a train coming to a stop. I guess what I should be asking is: What sorts of sounds are you using the H3-VR to capture? And do you find any advantage in using the H3-VR instead of an H2n for said recordings?
- dharma1 8y agounless you're specifically recording ambisonic audio to go with 360 videos or VR content I think you're fine with the H2n. The main difference with H3-VR is the 6-degree gyro for aligning the soundfield correctly with the 360 video, and onboard processing for previewing ambisonic sound with headphones
