Built for hybrid creators

The Zoom Q8n-4K captures UHD 4K video at 30 fps with an 8.57 megapixel sensor. A fixed 150° wide-angle lens covers a broad field of view for stage, desk or room setups. Dual XLR mic/line inputs and the detachable X/Y condenser capsule record up to four simultaneous audio channels. It also functions as a USB webcam and audio interface for live streaming.

Passive cooling and battery power

The recorder operates without fans, so it adds no mechanical noise to quiet takes. Power comes from a rechargeable battery or USB bus power, keeping the rig light and cable-free for mobile sessions. No active cooling means the chassis stays silent during long interviews or music recordings.

Swappable capsules and four-track flexibility

The detachable X/Y capsule can be exchanged for other Zoom microphone capsules to match different pickup patterns. Four-channel recording lets you capture the built-in stereo pair and both XLR inputs at once. The flip-out LCD simplifies framing for selfie-style shoots while the USB mode adds webcam and audio-interface duties without extra drivers.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the detachable X/Y condenser microphone and which orientation captures stereo correctly?

Slide the capsule onto the top mount until it clicks; the logo should face the front so the left and right capsules match the camera's perspective.

When will the SD card or battery need replacement during regular 4K recording sessions?

Expect to swap batteries after roughly two hours of continuous UHD 4K at 30 fps; replace the SD card once write speeds drop below the sustained bitrate required for four-channel audio plus video.

At what point does the 150° wide-angle lens introduce noticeable edge distortion during long takes?

Barrel distortion becomes visible at the frame edges whenever a straight line — such as a horizon or door frame — sits near the border, especially in 4K UHD mode.
