Zoom Q8n-4K Handy Video Recorder

The Q8n-4K is a handy video recorder with an interchangeable microphone capsule that can be used to capture clearer images in 4K quality, with two external XLR inputs and simultaneous recording of up to four tracks for high-quality video at up to 24bit/96kHz.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) processing minimises the black and white blur that can often occur during concerts with intense lighting effects, resulting in high-definition live video with great detail. It also supports the new generation of microphone capsules V2.0, which can process up to 4 channels of signal, and a total of 9 different types of microphone capsules are available, including shotgun, XY/AB and VR microphones.
