Zoom Q8n-4K Handy Video Camera

The Zoom Q8n-4K is designed to capture professional-grade audio with 4K video in a versatile, all-in-one handy recorder. It is the perfect video production and livestreaming solution for today’s musicians, filmmakers, podcasters and more.

The Q8n-4K is designed for creators to showcase your best sound and look, elevating your videos with four audio tracks, along with 4K UHD video.

Compared to a mirrorless or DSLR, this camera’s size is meant to seamlessly fit into your production while its price ensures that it fits into your budget.

4-TRACK MINDED

CAPTURING PERFORMANCES
Take advantage of the Q8n-4K’s compact size, vivid imagery, and high-quality audio, recording your genuine look and sound during live or studio performances.

EASY ON THE EYES
Record in 4K resolution at 30fps. With the F2.8/150º wide-angle lens, five field of view (FOV) settings, and brightness adjustments, the Q8n-4K produces vivid video quality at every shoot.

LIVESTREAMS

INDEPENDENT FILMMAKING
