Zoom ZGHM1 GHM-1 Guitar Headstock Mount

The Zoom GHM-1 is a clamp-style mount made for capturing close, player-focused video from a guitar or bass headstock. It gives compatible Zoom video recorders a secure mounting point directly on the instrument, creating a perspective that follows fretting-hand movement. This is a practical accessory for musicians recording practice sessions, performances, lessons, and music-video content.

Designed for Zoom Q4, Q4n, and Q8 Handy Video Recorders, the GHM-1 positions the camera near the headstock without requiring a separate stand or tripod. Its flat clamp format can also be used on suitable flat surfaces beyond an instrument headstock. The mount helps users create a closer visual angle while keeping the recorder within the performance setup.

The GHM-1 is a mechanical mounting accessory and does not alter the audio or video processing of the connected recorder. Instead, its performance benefit is stable camera placement for more consistent framing during playing. It is especially useful when a fixed, instrument-mounted viewpoint is preferred over a room-wide shot.

Its clamp-based design is intended to make setup straightforward for guitarists and bassists who want an integrated recording arrangement. The compact mounting approach can help reduce the need for additional floor stands around a practice area or stage. Placement should be chosen carefully to preserve access to tuning machines and maintain comfortable instrument handling.

For users with a Zoom Q2n-4K or Q8n-4K, the GHM-1 can be used with the separately available Zoom ACM-1 Action Cam Mount. This creates an upgrade path for creators using newer compatible Zoom video recorder models. The GHM-1 itself is supplied as the guitar headstock mount accessory.

Design & Installation

The GHM-1 uses a clamp-style design intended for secure attachment to a guitar or bass headstock and other appropriate flat surfaces. Its construction is made for accessory mounting use, with a recorder connection designed around compatible Zoom Handy Video Recorder configurations. The black mount keeps the setup visually unobtrusive around an instrument.

Attach the clamp to a suitable area of the headstock, confirm that it is secure, and position the recorder for the desired playing angle before recording. Check clearance around tuning machines, strings, and the player's hands before use. Zoom Q4, Q4n, and Q8 recorders mount directly; Q2n-4K and Q8n-4K users need the optional Zoom ACM-1 Action Cam Mount.
