The Zoom Q2n Makes Your Online Presence Simpler
To the watching world, you hardly exist without a strong social media presence. Fortunately, the Zoom Q2n-4K makes it easier than ever to capture and share moments online. No bigger than a typical mini action cam, the Zoom Q2n-4K boasts lifelike stereo audio to match its stunning 4K/30 fps video capture. And using it couldn't be simpler. Here's a look at some of the highlights.
Video Features of the Zoom Q2n
Crisp 4K video capture
Video resolutions up to 4K (at 30 fps) equip the Zoom Q2n-4K to broadcast your performances and special moments in glorious high resolution. Frame rate can be extended to 60 fps at a resolution of 1080p for smoother motion and enhanced slo-mo effects.
150° lens never misses a moment
A single Zoom Q2n-4K Handy Video Recorder can capture the whole stage yet still remain close enough to get excellent stereo sound. That's because Zoom outfitted this tiny camera with a sophisticated 150° ultra-wide-angle lens. And with five field-of-view settings, you can easily go from covering the entire band to zooming in on a single performer.
Clear imaging for dark clubs to bright outdoor settings
The Zoom Q2n-4K combines a fixed F2.8 aperture, precision optics, and powerful onboard image processing that allows you to get great footage in any environment. Choose from 12 preset scenes that cover everything from dark clubs to bright outdoor settings. Sweetwater was particularly impressed by the Concert Light scene that automatically compensates for stage lighting, ensuring that even the most energizing light show won't ruin your footage.
Audio Features of the Zoom Q2n
XY mics deliver phase-coherent stereo audio
Fixed XY mics onboard the Zoom Q2n deliver the stunning sound quality Zoom is known for. Whether you stick your Q2n-4K Handy Video Recorder a few feet from your acoustic guitar, hang it 10' above your piano, or place it out in the audience while your band performs, you'll get amazing sound in detailed stereo. An added bonus, you can disable the camera and use the Zoom Q2n-4K as a standalone 24-bit/96kHz audio recorder.
Digital audio resolution for music professionals
In an era of popular digital action cameras, it's refreshing to see one designed and marketed for serious musicians. Zoom has long set the standard in music-oriented video cameras and recorders, and the Zoom Q2n-4K's 24-bit/96kHz audio resolution delivers the impressive sound quality Zoom users have come to expect. With 120dB SPL of distortion-free dynamic range, feel free to stick your Zoom Q2n under your cymbals, on your amp, or anywhere else you need it.
