Is the nikon z 400mm f 2 8 tc vr s good for video?

The site doesn't have a video rating for this lens, so I can't tell you how it performs on video. What I can say is that it's a pro sports telephoto. At 400mm f/2.8 it's very long, heavy, and narrow in view. It's stabilised and has autofocus, which both help when you're filming, but it's built for distant subjects like sport and wildlife, not everyday video.

For most video work, I'd look at a wider lens first. The Video guide covers what to prioritise for vlogging, and the Video guide explains why sound needs its own budget. If you're filming distant action and already own a Nikon Z body, this lens could make sense. Check the Nikon Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S page for the full list of compatible cameras.
