I have owned the Q2n-4K and the predecessor Q2n for a few years. They're useful. Better mics than cameras. The lens claims to be f2.8, which is reasonably fast in 'real' camera terms, but because of the tiny objective lens and tiny sensor, these handy cams need a lot of light. They burn through AA batteries fast, so the optional extended battery pack is, in my uses, a must. I find it is happier as a 1080p device than a 4K device. Nice job with your video. Keep making content.

[@buffalobillh]

Thanks, David. That’s good info to know about the battery pack. Like you mentioned, it has been my observation also that the mics are really good in almost any situation, but the camera does better with plenty of light. Overall, I really like this unit.

How much time does a AA batteries pair works with the Q2n 4k? (I am concerned about its durability)

[@davidfirth1]

@@andreseduardomostajomichel4156 If you a re using the 2 AA batteries in the unit, not long. It has been a long time since I used it that way, so I don't remember exactly, but can't be more than 30 minutes. The extended pack (4 AA) gives you an hour or a little more. I tend to use a USB power bank and plug in to the micro USB input. And this isn't an issue only with the Zoom -- pretty much any small camera like this will run batteries down quickly shooting video.

Is this good for recording cover songs? I want a crystal clear recording of songs even in outdoor. Someone here, pls answer my question. Thanks in advance

[@samplidium]

Congratulations on your purchase! I hope the video was useful.

[@mpeete4341]

Thank you very much for this test, very helpful to me. May I ask you what device did you use for making this video (when filming the Q2n at the beginning) ?, the quality is top as well !

[@buffalobillh]

I used an iPhone XS Max to film the beginning. I’m glad the video was helpful. I hope to do a followup video soon.

[@victornegrin7692]

Que bonita esa Tuba, you are very nice.

[@buffalobillh]

Thank you. I hope you liked the video.

[@pheldonmajors2999]

Thank you so much!

[@buffalobillh]

No problem. I need to do a follow up video soon.

[@Wazza722]

When you plug a external mic in does it cut out the built in mic?

[@buffalobillh]

I haven’t tried that yet, but my understanding is that it overrides the internal mic. I need to test that feature!

[@3doorsdown6]

Can this camera attach to any tripod?

[@buffalobillh]

Yes. Any camera stand/tripod with the standard screw (1/4” if I remember correctly) will work.

[@pgroadglide1581]

Real nice but sucks doesn’t have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi? Or cordless remote.

[@buffalobillh]

That would be a really nice upgrade!
