Zoom Q4 Handy Video Recorder HD Audio Video Camera with X/Y Stereo Mic

Zoom Q4 Handy Video Recorder – HD Video with Professional Stereo Audio

The Zoom Q4 is a compact handheld video recorder designed for musicians, filmmakers, journalists, and content creators who need high-quality video combined with professional-grade audio in a single portable device. It bridges the gap between consumer video cameras and dedicated audio recorders, delivering significantly improved sound quality for video production workflows.

Wide-Angle HD Video Capture

The Q4 features a wide-angle lens designed to capture immersive video footage suitable for live performances, rehearsals, interviews, and field recording. It records in Full HD (up to 1080p), providing clear and detailed visuals in a compact form factor that is easy to mount or carry.

Professional X/Y Stereo Microphone System

At the core of the Q4 is Zoom’s signature X/Y stereo microphone configuration, designed to capture a natural stereo image with strong center focus and accurate spatial depth. This makes it especially effective for live music recording, ambient sound capture, and on-location video production where audio quality is critical.

High-Resolution Audio Recording

The Q4 supports high-resolution audio recording up to 24-bit / 96 kHz, ensuring professional-grade sound quality that can be used directly in post-production or further refined in a DAW. This level of audio fidelity is significantly higher than typical built-in camera microphones.

Flexible Mounting for Creative Shooting Angles

Designed for versatility, the Q4 supports multiple mounting options including tripod mounts, mic stand mounts, and action camera-style rigs. This allows users to place the camera in unconventional positions for unique perspectives in music videos, tutorials, and live performances.

Professional Input and Output Connectivity

The Q4 includes a stereo 3.5 mm mic/line input for external microphones or audio sources, as well as a headphone/line output for real-time monitoring. It also supports USB connectivity for file transfer, live streaming, and use as a USB microphone or webcam.

Designed for Musicians and Content Creators

Unlike standard video cameras, the Q4 is optimized for creators who prioritize sound as much as image. It is widely used for concert recording, rehearsal capture, music lessons, interviews, and social media content production where audio clarity is essential.
