Decent bundle, but which should maybe come with the h6 as standard.
If you dont have time to buy all the items here seperately from 3rd party and just want to buy a bundle then thomann here has a decent price compared to the ridiculous rrp of this bundle.
It seems like the reason this bundle is exists is a way to charge a lot more money for a wired remote rather than just selling it on it's own. I bought the bundle expecting there wouldnt be a way to get the same thing cheaper elsewhere but after some research there are 3rd part alternatives for the remote. I can't comment on the quality of those but had i known about them i'd have tried that first.
The product itself is decent quality, so i cant complain about that. i thought maybe the remote would be awkward to use if you couldnt see your h6, but the remote itself has leds on it to display what mode the h6 is currently in. So its veru useful if you are say operating a boom mic with this remote straped to the pole, while recording with the h6 setup as a stereo mice or a second shotgun using the shotgun mic adapter for the h6. although the remote has no mounting options built into it. a camera thread or a place for a velcro stap on it to mount it to a pole/wrist would be useful but it has none, thats going to require some modifications added yourself if you want to do that.
The wire on the remote does seem a little too thin and seems like it could be easily brokenif its treated roughly. But the design is clearly meant to wind away and be compact, hence it being so thin. i'd have prefered if the remote had a jack connector itself and you could replace the wire but the extension in the bundle could act as a break away if anyone trips on, or snags the cable.
the cables are okay quality, the power adapter is fine, althought a uk option for the bundle would be better, i replaced my power adapter from this set with a good quality phone charger with a uk plug.
Given that i think these items really should be included with the h6, the price is a bit steep to pay even at thomanns decent price reduction, so i'm knocking it down in "quality" . Also i'd expect a much more heavy duty remote for this price, even more so at the "full price" of 70 euros the wire on the remote would feel like a complete joke.

Fine
So the zoom H6 comes with only an XY microphone capsule and a quick guide. You will need at least a wire from here to transfer data to a PC. Also you will be able to plug it into an outlet if running out of batteries. Windshield is also a good thing to have, just in case. I don’t really use the wireless remote. But throw an SD in this bundle, and you will be set and ready to record!

Handy set of products
I ordered this mainly for the wind shield, however the remote control is a useful addition for the Zoom recorder. The wind shield is a great quality part which really helps to reduce wind noise when used outside. I haven't chosen to use the power supply however as the supplied part has a two pin plug on it and despite being supplied with a Euro to UK converter, becomes quite impractical and takes up a lot of room on a socket strip.

Just for
Just for the "dead cat" and the remote.

Necessary equipment for the H6!
I bought this set mainly for the remote control, which I find very, very handy when recording yourself. The cable of the remote control goes nicely around the body. The power adapter is also nice to have and the better windshield. Recommend.
