Zoom Q8 Handy Video Recorder

Going beyond high definition

This handy video recorder goes beyond standard HD, offering 3M HD (2304 x 1296 pixels @ 30 fps / 24mbps) as well as two types of HD (24mbps and 16mbps for increased storage capability) at frame rates of up to 60 fps at 720p for capturing fast action video. The 160 degree wide angle lense ensures you capture every moment with full realism and sharp definition.

Intuitive and simple design

The Q8 offers a large full-colour LCD touchscreen for ease of use, along with a range of advanced features. The dual combo XLR-TRS inputs allow external microphones and line-level sources to be connected, and a built-in speaker and stereo headphone/line out jack provide audio monitoring. The mini-HDMI output allows for video monitoring too, whilst the flexible mounting options allow you to shoot high-definition video anywhere you go.

Full range, crystal clear audio

Delivering the incredible audio quality Zoom is becoming renowned for, you can record in high-resolution 24-bit/96kHz audio via the X/Y microphone. The standard XYQ-8 microphone included with the Q8 can be replaced with another optional Zoom mic capsule, the capability to easily change mic capsules makes the Zoom Q8 a versatile video recorder. A built-in low-cut filter and foam window allow you to eliminate low-frequency noise and rumble, and there are three Dynamic settings, as well as a built-in compressor and limiter.

Flexible mounting

Mounting is no problem with the Q8, not only can it be attached to any standard tripod, it comes with a tripod-to-three-prong converter, giving the versatility of being able to use it with every kind of action camera mount too.
