Zoom Q2HD handheld video recorder white
Product no: 9000-0005-6820 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Q2HD series by Japanese company Zoom now offers three different colours. This handheld video recorder is the white edition - a great colour to go with your Apple gadgets! The Q2HD is a modern recorder that, like many Zoom products, comes at a very reasonable price. A large LCD display shows you what you're recording, while a specially-shaped microphone records high-quality (mid-side, 24-bit, 96kHz, uncompressed) audio. The video quality of the Zoom recorder is equally tantalising: 1080P (full HD) with up to 4x digital zoom.

Characteristics of the Q2HD handheld recorder

A good handheld recorder doesn't just offer great video and audio quality, but is practical to use too. The Q2HD scores big on both accounts. Using the included 2GB SD card you can record approximately 40 minutes of HD video - enough for moderate recordings, and a full card is quickly and easily exchanged for a new one. The Q2HD supports SDXC cards of up to 64 GB, which equals approximately 15 hours of video material. That's more than enough for holidays, long ceremonies and aspiring Spielbergs! When a card is full, simply plug into your PC, save your data and you're good to go once more. If you don't have a PC at your disposal for the moment, you can use the basic editing functions of the Q2HD itself - the recorder is quite easy to operate.

Wrote the following about Zoom Q2HD handheld video recorder white

Hele mooie recorder voor niet veel geld. Geluidskwaliteit is echt super en ook het beeld.
Gebruik de recorder om achter de dj booth op te nemen en ook in een zaal. Gemiddeld genomen staat het geluid op ong. tussen de 110 tot 125 DB en echt de opnames klinken loep zuiver. Voornamelijk wordt deze gebruikt voor techno feestjes op te nemen. En dit apparaat is ideaal. Ook mbt tot de beelden opnemen met lichten en lasers werkt het prima.
Alleen 1 minpuntje wat geen betrekking heeft op het apparaat:
Ik twijfelde tussen zilver en wit. Aangezien de prijs hetzelfde was en dan zie ik dat de zilvere na denk ik 3/4 dagen 16 euro goedkoper is geworden. Dat vond ik wel jammer.
Tevens raad ik iedereen aan gelijk een goed setje batterijen mee te bestellen want als je eenmaal in de weer gaat, zal je zien dat de batterijen hard kunnen gaan.

Un seul mot : bluffant !
Je cherchais un petit camescope dont le son ne sature pas lorsque je me filme en jouant de la basse. Le zoom Q2HD a exaucé mes voeux. Alors certes, au point de vue vidéo, on fait mieux. Certes, le boitier est si léger que l'on se demande à première vue si ce n'est pas un gadget. Mais côté prise de son, je n'ai pas trouvé mieux à ce tarif là. Je joue sur un ampli Markbass CMD 151P et les seules vibrations que l'on entend sur la vidéo sont celles de mes fenêtres qui ne supportent pas la puissance du combo. Le seul bémol provient du fait que je n'arrive pas à installer le logiciel de traitement vidéo "Handyshare" fournit avec et qui est le seul moyen de retravailler les vidéos via un PC (on peut le faire aussi directement sur la cam mais c'est moins ergonomique).
Concernant la livraison : 3 jours. FDP gratuits... Par conséquent : moins cher que Thomann.
Merci Bax-shop !
