It's not much better than a laptop webcam

When first trying to use this camera with OBS on MacBook Air 2020, footage has flickering green lines and image stuttering. I think it could be a defective USB cable that came with the product. Image quality is similar to a laptop camera, maybe a little better, but not as good as a cell phone camera. I could return that and buy an old unlocked iPhone off eBay and try using it as a dedicated webcam instead. It would be nice if Apple put the iPhone cameras in the MacBook. Update: I used a…

The best webcam I've ever had. Highly recommended!

Very glad I invested in these. My camera on video calls and broadcasts looks a lot better now. The camera hub is an easy way to tweak settings, and a big plus is that the settings are saved on the camera itself and not on the PC like most cameras do. Easier to update my PC. So far I haven't been disappointed with any Elgato I've owned.

Pros
  • Webcams
Cons
  • High Price

One tip I found when setting up the camera is to ease the tension on the bottom pulley and position the camera flush with the front monitor so it looks solid and doesn't move. The bottom coil is a bit difficult to detach the first time you use it, but that's okay. One of the downsides I see is that the USB cable seems a

The best webcam I've ever used

I use a webcam for online school and that's enough, at least I thought so. I'll admit I'm an image snob, I have a full frame Canon DSLR, but I never expect decent image quality from a webcam, especially in low light conditions. I was fascinated by this Elgato because it uses a Sony sensor and the low light quality is Sony's strong point. Happy to report that it does not disappoint. The utility that gets installed when the drivers load (I have it on Win10) has a whole bunch of settings plus up…
