Hi everyone, this is John from Zoom and I'm here to introduce you to our Q2n handy video recorder.
The Zoom Q2n gives you a fast and easy way to create HD videos with high-impact audio.
The Zoom Q2n is small enough to carry anywhere, and its intuitive controls, simple one-button recording, and analog-style level control mean you’re always prepared to record impromptu performances or new ideas. The Q2n can be powered by two standard AA batteries, AC adapter, or you can connect an external power bank providing more than enough juice for concerts, rehearsals, jam sessions, and more.
The built-in X/Y microphones capture sound with beautiful stereo imaging, and are capable of handling sound levels up to 120 dB SPL. This means you can record loud concerts without any distortion. The Q2n also features a stereo ⅛” line input, making it perfect for most recording situations.
A 160-degree wide-angle lens helps you capture the whole shot while keeping the microphones close to the sound source. The Q2n excels in an array of lighting environments-whether you’re filming at home, in a rehearsal space, or at a club. The Q2n records in 720p or 1080p HD resolution in 24 fps or 30 fps, the standard frame rates used in film. With its five field of view settings, you can capture the full band or focus on an individual performer. Plus, a color LCD screen makes it easy to create the perfect shot or review your videos.
To view your video recording in high definition, you can connect to an HDMI TV using the micro HDMI output. A USB port allows for connection to any computer or iOS device so you can use the Q2n as a web camera for live streaming with software such as Open Broadcaster Software. It can also be used as a USB microphone for podcasts, or as a card reader to transfer recordings.
Ten "Scene" presets allow you to record in a wide range of environments, including low-light locations where the Q2n is designed to thrive. The presets range from "Concert Light"-which automatically adjusts for changing lighting conditions-to "Concert Lo-Lit" for dimly lit rooms. And there are scene settings tailored specifically for filming in jazz clubs and rehearsal studios, as well as outdoors.
The Q2n features Auto Gain functionality to automatically control input level, as well as a low-cut filter to eliminate low frequency noise and rumble. The Q2n is also capable of recording audio only, in WAV formats up to 24-bit/96kHz. Simply use the ‘Camera Off’ setting to capture demos or live performances in stereo sound using the built-in X/Y mics.
You can maximize your recording experience with two Q2n accessory packs. The LHQ-2n accessory pack includes a lens cover and lens hood to block unwanted light or glare from your shots.
The APQ-2n accessory pack offers a lens cover and lens hood, as well as a hairy windscreen for recording crystal clear sound in any environment. There's also a tripod to mic stand adapter which doubles as a convenient handle so you can record more easily when you're on the move. A tripod to three-prong action camera mount adapter lets you attach your Q2n to poles, handles, and other places to achieve a variety of shots and angles.
The included USB cable makes connection to a computer or iPad simple. And the padded shell case help prevent wear and tear on the Q2n.
With the Q2n in hand, you can finally make videos that sound as great as they look.

Recently bought a Q2n so I can record myself practicing playing my drums and also for band rehearsals as well as live gigs. A fantastic recorder that has so many excellent features. In the short period of time that I have had it I have found it it very intuative and easy to use. great piece of gear.
Wow! Wish I have one too
I have this camera! ZERO complaints! Zoom is a great company!
That seems like a really clever product. Fits a perfect niche.
Definitely need to get one of these! Great product guys!
Well done zoom...great product...
Highly underrated product!
Nice job zoom 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It will be great for my Imponysation !!
When using a combined camera/recorder like the Zoom Q2n, what is the process for editing the audio? Do you strip the audio out of the MOV file, edit it in Pro Tools or Ableton and then somehow put it back into the video file? Struggling a bit with this and would appreciate the help. Thank
Can you invert the video when mounting it upside down?
Is it good for recorded electronic music? Like minimal-techno?
Now i recorded with my phone Xiaomi redmi 5 plus but it sounds bad.
I have a question. I have a ZoomQ2N camera and i`m wondering if can i connect the camera to a digital piano to record audio HQ without background noise and video the same time ?
Is this ideal for loud music events or will it distort
We use this product .. it is excellent
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸Really it is very good for Perfect vidéo 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Can you connect this to Zoom Podtrak? Was thinking integrating both for a video podcast.
I wish they had an App that would let you see the view finder and start recording. I don't have anyone in the audience to watch the camera so I need to place it higher out of audience reach. When doing so it's hard to see the viewfinder when you are trying to aim the camera that high, it's hard to see that little screen. An App would make it easier to do this and then you could hit record from the stage, and make sure its running. Maybe add it to future models?

Do you have a video tutorial on how to use this? I am anxious to know how to do things like delete recordings I don't want to keep.
Feel free to email info@zoom-na.com with any questions or call our customer support at (631) 542-5270.
We don't have a tutorial that would explain deleting recordings, but it is a simple process that we can explain if you need assistance.
Was that the Fab Faux?
We use Zoom Q2n il live session
Can the input for audio take a signal from a mixer? For example to be utilized as an audio recorder?
Yes!
Hi, My uncle Pastoring a Church, wanted to know if this records broadcast quality video to record his Sunday sermons and special sermon to be recorded at his home studio. Please kindly let me know. Thank you.
Yes, the Q2n would work well for this purpose
ZoomSoundLab Thank you very much for your kind reply, Zoom Team. I believe in Zoom. Got trained on Zoom H4n in my Audio School in New Zealand, got my Dad to buy Zoom H4n Pro for his ministry recordings and worked on many projects. Thank you Zoom.
ZoomSoundLab Just one more question please. The specification of 2n says it records in H.264 format; Is it a compressed format, is it a Broadcast quality format ? Can I still use it for TV broadcast programmes as well as on CZcams ? Please advice me. Thank you very much.
Yes, it is compressed but it is broadcast quality. You can upload to CZcams and use for TV broadcast programs.
ZoomSoundLab Thank you Zoom team. You are doing great. Lord Bless you all.
Is it possible to record mic and line in simultaneously in order to mix in crowd, ambient noise ect? Also is it possible to use the camera and mic as a webcam without recording initiated, thanks
Connecting a source to the EXT IN on the Q2n will disable the built in microphones. The device can be used as a webcam with macOS and Windows computers.
ZoomSoundLab cool thanks for the reply
Can I connect the power via a cell phone charger right into the outlet?
You can use the Zoom AD-17 power adapter: www.zoom.co.jp/products/ad-17-ac-adapter
Windows 10 does not recognize the Q2N device regardless if you use it as web camera, card reader etc. The device is shown in the 'Device Manager' & the 'Device & Printers' windows but with a yellow question mark. I tried everything. Any suggestions?
Please reach out to our customer support team for assistance. zoomcorp.com/en/us/contact/
Vic Juris!
would like to see more shots of video - otherwise good
Hi Zoom , is this possible to record video in just one file with the Q2n and also the Q8 ?
I know Q2n-4k have this feature .
Also , is this possible to feed Q2n , Q8 or Q2n-4k by USB and record video at the same time ?
Thanks
No, only the Q2n-4K can record a single file. The Q2n and Q8 will split files at about 4GB.
You can not feed the Q2n, Q2n-4K, or Q8 with any information via USB. The USB port is only used for webcam mode, USB mic mode, or SD card reader mode.
@@ZoomSoundLab Thanks for your answer .
But :
- your resseller in France tells me that it's possible to record in one file with Q2n and Q8 with SDXC card and exFat format .
-in the manuel of Q2n-4k , i read : "when connected to a computer , power can be supplied by USB " , so why do you tell me that it can't be feed by USB ?
Don't tell you lie me , I try just to understand :)
Thanks
I am having a problem , I am getting audio , but just a gery pic on my the video. HELP!!!!!
Please email info@zoom-na.com to troubleshoot the issue.
is there a way I could record my musical performance by my self using a remote control device?
Unfortunately there is not a remote available for the Q2n.
Thank you John for your timely reply. Could you recommend a remote control camera that I could use for my professional musical performance since I can't control the camera from where I sit ?
Hey what’s the difference between this and the red edition ? Regards
Just the color!
I see it uses quicktime format video, is this compatible with windows movie maker?
Windows Movie Maker does not support MOV files.
@@ZoomSoundLab is there a reason you decided on this format, it quite a dealbreaker now i know?
Anything not wide angle? Your q2hd is selling used for $700-2200.
All of our current camera models are wide angle.
Can you link multiple ones together for different shots within the same performance? Then edit the footage later?
Unfortunately you would not be able to link multiple devices together
Does it have zoom in/out? Thank you
Yes, there is a digital zoom.
You don't NEED the accessory kit!!!
If you want to the Rainbow effect from Lights shining down on it, put a thin strip of Fuzzy Velcro around the lense, then put some prickly Velcro on a strip of flexible plastic, and press it down on the lens so it's similar to the shades placed on traffic lights to keep the sun from glaring on them. Much less expensive than the accessory pack!
Make sure to look for Velcro that has an adhesive backing on it, so it can be stuck to the plastic.
Regular Velcro is just a thick strip of material that has to be sewn on to other materials.
No line out?
There is a 3.5mm TRS headphone output.
Hi, does it take still pictures?
No, it only records video and/or audio.
@@ZoomSoundLab that is a shame, it would have forfilled all i need, i still recon i will get one, i was just hoping to stop using my phone altogether.
What keeps me from buying it is the fact, that you can only run this on batteries. I mean: come on!!! 2 hours runtime on batteries? Are you kidding?
The Q2n can be powered through the micro USB port. You can use a portable USB battery (like you would use to charge your cell phone) for longer recordings.
