The Zoom Q8n-4K Handy Video Recorder is a versatile tool designed for content creators, indie filmmakers, and musicians who prioritize portability without compromising on quality. With its 4K video capabilities, 4-track audio recording, flip-out color LCD for selfie-style movies, and optional app-based remote control, it offers an array of features to meet diverse production needs.

Dual XLR mic/line inputs with phantom power accommodate external mics or mixing console outputs. The XYQ-8n capsule provides true stereo imaging, while additional Zoom mic capsules are available for specialized recording needs.

Monitoring and Connectivity:

A headphone jack allows real-time audio monitoring, ensuring clean sound capture. The recorder can also function as a USB device, serving as a webcam or audio interface. Micro-HDMI output facilitates video monitoring on external displays.

Powering and Mounting Options:

The Q8n-4K offers multiple powering methods, including a rechargeable Li-ion battery, USB power, or an optional AC adapter. With a 1/4"-20 thread, it can be easily mounted on tripods or gimbals for stable recording.
