Overview
Use the ZOOM Q2n-4K Handy Video Recorder to easily capture your full band or solo act using five field of view (FOV) settings. The Q2n-4K’s 150° lens and color LCD make it easy to frame the perfect shot. At the touch of a button, the Q2n-4K captures premium video, recording at up to 4K Ultra HD resolution. The Q2n-4K's X/Y stereo microphones are designed to handle everything from saxophone to heavy metal.
Stage lights can overexpose your video and ruin a good take. The Q2n-4K’s high dynamic range (HDR) technology automatically adjusts the exposure, so your lighting effects don’t blow out the shot. Twelve "Scene" presets allow you to record your performances in a wide range of environments, including "Jazz Club", "Concert Light", "Dance Club", and "Outdoor". The Q2n-4K even features an "Auto" scene option, which detects your current lighting conditions and selects the appropriate balance of settings.
The Q2n-4K is the ultimate musician’s webcam, able to stream performances live to Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and more. You can also output the Q2n-4K’s audio to your iOS device* for mobile podcasting and streaming, and monitor your audio via headphones with the Q2n-4K’s 1/8" stereo output jack. With micro HDMI video output, the Q2n-4K lets you watch your video in high definition on your TV.
*NOTE: iPad Camera Connection Kit or Lightning to USB Camera Adapter required (sold separately).
