The 4K Camera for your Look and Sound

The Zoom Q8n-4K is designed to capture professional-grade audio with 4K video in a versatile, all-in-one handy recorder. The Q8n-4K gives you the same high-quality audio formats as Zoom’s dedicated audio recorders. It is the perfect video production and livestreaming solution for today’s musicians, filmmakers, podcasters and more.
PRODUCTION FEATURES
Video Production beyond the limits of a Smartphone – The Q8n-4K is designed for creators to showcase their best sound and look, elevating your videos with four audio tracks, along with 4K UHD video.
Light weight, light on the wallet – 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 – With the Zoom X/Y mic capsule and two XLR inputs, you can capture up to four tracks of simultaneous, crystal-clear audio.
In the Mix – Capture every instrument and voice of your band’s performances by running the main outputs of a mixing board right to your Q8n-4K.
CREATOR SET-UP
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.
Interchangeable Mic Capsules
Record in 4K resolution at 30fps. With the F2.8/150° wide-angle lens, five field of view (FOV) settings, and brightness adjustments, the Q8n-4K produces vivid video quality at every shoot.
Easily connect via USB to your computer and stream to your favourite platforms.
Get the right look in any setting using Scene presets for Indoor, Outdoor, Nighttime and Concert Lighting. Alternatively, the Auto setting will optimize lighting based on your environment.
Use the stereo headphone output jack and on-screen level meters to monitor your sound.
The Q8n-4K is compact and mobile, perfect for run-and-gun shoots while operating handheld or with a gimble.
Selfie Mode – Be the star of your own production. Use the flip-out screen to view yourself while operating the Q8n-4K.
Choose the right power source for your shoot environment by using the camera’s rechargeable Li-ion battery, charge via USB or with an optional AC adapter, all while recording to a mini-SD card up to 512GB.
