Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing for mixed reality VR (Twitch, Mixer, YouTube)

I needed a camera with a very wide field of view and many of my streamer friends told me I had to get a GoPro. The cheapest I found was $180. I had already spent so much on VR and other tech for my PC that I wasn't going to spend another $200 or so. I was looking for a fisheye camera and came across this one. Ordered immediately after seeing another review about a twitch streamer using it (I think they use it for Dungeons & Dragons or something). I have a camera about 5-7 feet from where I'm standing and it captures my entire body and about 2-3 feet above and below. It also captures the green walls of the screen, and some of them completely. I'm now completely cut out of the scene and can set up my VR headset with Beat Saber for a mixed reality show! - note. I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, I plugged it in and it was recognized immediately. I opened OBS Studio and it was immediately visible as a video capture device.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Problems
