ZOOM Q8

Description

Youve never seen or heard anything like it.

The Q8 marries high-definition video with high-resolution audio, making it the perfect camera for music and video creators everywhere. Its 160 degree wide-angle lens and digital zoom ensure that youll always capture the complete picture. Combine that with ZOOMs groundbreaking interchangeable mic capsule system and two XLR/TRS combo inputs for a world of options.

The Q8 comes with its own specially designed detachable X/Y microphone, yet its compatible with most Zoom microphone capsules. If you already use an H5 or H6, you can swap their capsules with the Q8 too.*
