High-Def Video Meets High-Res Audio Built for the Modern Creator
Todays content creators demand more more clarity, more flexibility, more control and the Zoom Q8n-4K delivers it all in one portable powerhouse. Designed for musicians, podcasters, filmmakers, and streamers, this ultra-high-definition video recorder combines professional 4K video with studio-quality audio capture in a rugged, compact form factor.

Plus, Zooms interchangeable mic capsule system gives you expandable audio options for future creative needs.
The intuitive, camcorder-style design fits comfortably in hand or mounts easily with the included adapter. The fold-flat microphone housing also makes the Q8n-4K ultra-packable and travel-ready.
