The Camera for Creators!
The Zoom Q8n-4K was designed as a versatile handheld recorder for professional audio-quality recordings with 4K video. It’s the perfect livestreaming solution for musicians, filmmakers, podcasters, and content creators.
Video Production Beyond Smartphone Limits
The Q8n-4K is a compact video recorder with interchangeable microphone capsules that can record in 4K quality. It features two XLR inputs and simultaneous recording of up to 4 tracks for high-quality videos with up to 24bit/96kHz. The High Dynamic Range (HDR) processing minimizes black-and-white blur often seen at concerts with intense lighting effects, delivering high-resolution live videos with great detail.
The Zoom Q8n-4K also supports the new generation of microphone capsules V2.0, capable of handling up to 4 channels. In total, 9 different microphone capsules are available, including shotgun, XY/AB, and VR microphones.
Thanks to its sleek design and compact size, the camera integrates seamlessly into your production and is especially affordable compared to mirrorless or DSLR cameras.
Creator Setup for Livestreams
Simply connect the recorder to your computer via USB to stream on your preferred platform. With scene presets for Indoor, Outdoor, Nighttime, and Concert Lighting, you get the perfect look in any environment. Alternatively, exposure is automatically adjusted in Auto mode to suit the recording situation.
The compact and mobile Q8n-4K is perfect for handheld shooting—with or without a gimbal.
Be the star of your production. The flip screen lets you see yourself while recording with the Q8n-4K.
The Right Power Supply for Your Shoot
Choose the suitable power source for your recording environment: the camera’s rechargeable Li-Ion battery, USB power, or an optional power adapter.
Remote Control via App
With the Q8n Control app (available for iOS & Android), you can monitor levels remotely and start or stop recording. The Zoom Bluetooth Adapter BTA-1 is required for wireless control.
We're ZOOM. And we're for creators!

Rock event, similar constellation, only here dark and color spotlights. The Q8 even has a concert light setting for this. The Q3 doesn't get everything as desired, but the video is worth watching. The Q8 has an almost blurry sepia image, despite the limiter the sound is distorted, the Q3 has a clean sound. The video of the Q8 is not usable.
Regression instead of progress.
2 stars for good to very good close-ups for instructional videos in daylight and artificial light. However, it is too expensive for that.
