Zoom Q2n-4K - UK Version

Product Information

A major feature of Q2n-4K is, of course, the fact that it can record in resolutions up to 4K. But in addition to this you’ve got a 150-degree lens and 5 field of view settings so you can record just yourself or fit the entire band in the frame. In truth, it’s suitable for whenever you need a high-quality video and audio solution, whatever that may be. Pro’s & Con’s of The Zoom Q2n-4K

The High Dynamic Range or HDR technology, as it’s often referred to, on offer in this Zoom device will allow it to automatically adjust to the surrounding lighting, which means you won’t need to have stage lights to get a better picture which also means you won’t be blowing out the shot with overexposing your stage lights and ruining the picture.Although it’s specifically targetted by Zoom at musicians, it’s also become increasingly popular in the live streaming community, specifically Twitch and Facebook, and is a favorite among that community as an all in one solution. Another thing that makes the Q2n-4k so appealing is its portability. Thanks to its small size you can carry it around with you and record a spontaneous busking session or you could attach it to your rig on stage (mounting accessories not included). Here's What Zoom Say About the Q2n-4K's Features Stage lighting can be frustrating when you’re trying to record a performance. Changes in light can either under or over expose your shot, and no one wants to see that, even if it is in 4K. To start you off the Q2n-4K has 12 “scene” presets for lighting in different settings as well as an auto mode which detects the lighting and adjusts the balance. It also has HDR (high dynamic range) which automatically adjusts the exposure when the lighting changes. Portability the camera is very easy to use, it's compact and offers a very good quality on videos and audios for the price.

USB mic function (with low-latency direct monitoring) when used with computers and iOS devices (Apple Camera Connection Kit or Lightning to USB Camera Adapter required for use with iOS devices) I feel that was quite negative, but it really isn’t, it’s just to try and help you understand the limitations and whether the device is going to suitable for what you require, as we don’t want you buying a device that doesn’t do what you need! USB mic function (with low-latency direct monitoring) when used with computers and iOS devices (Apple Camera Connection Kit or Lightning to USB Camera Adapter required for use with iOS devices) preset settings are already very good, but of course to get the best results you need to spend a little time fiddling around with settings, which really takes an hour tops to try them all.This device comes with a whole load of extra features, including the 12 scene options, 5 fields of view and how well it works with streaming applications Scene’ options for use in different lighting environments, including ‘Auto’ setting that intelligently adapts to your environment Finally, I found the easiest way to record great quality sound and movie in 4K without any special equipment !! different scene options for different lighting enviroments that automatically adapt the the surroundings One of the main selling points about this device is its cost. Don’t get us wrong, there are a few cheaper out there, but the audio quality we can almost guarantee won’t be up to the scratch of the Zoom Q2n-4K

The other issue, as we touched on in the cons section, is the battery power, it’s poor. The device only offers the option of having 2x AA batteries, which no matter how efficient the device is, it’s not going to last and is quite an outdated power option for a device of it’s kind. We would have really liked to see the option of a rechargeable battery or as this is a device that is meant to remain static, mains power would make a lot more sense. Records directly to microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC cards up to 256 GB for extended recording times Scene’ options for use in different lighting environments, including ‘Auto’ setting that intelligently adapts to your environment You can also take advantage of the Q2n-4K’s audio and visual quality by hooking up to your computer or iOS device (adapter/connection cables not included) and use it for live streaming giving your audience a live performance. sure, some phones offer amazing recording quality nowadays, but that usually drains battery and storage.
