Works great as a computer webcam

Bought to use my Canon HF R800 as a computer webcam. That works great. The video is clear and looks professional. I originally intended to buy a similar one four times more expensive, but it wasn't available. Thank goodness because this device does the same job for about 1/4 the cost. Also, it doesn't get hot after 30 minutes of use as I've seen in reviews of other brands. Unlike other brands, I'm glad I don't have to worry about the device getting very hot and I don't have to put ice packs on either side of the device like the reviews of these other brands suggest. . It's currently running for about 2 hours and is still a bit warm which could possibly just be the warmth of the green light just showing it's running. As a side note, when I first plugged it into my camcorder and the blue USB 3.0 port on my computer, the video just showed up in more or less green, blue, and yellow. So I decided to disconnect the blue cable (that came with the device) and connect it in reverse order - connect the end of the USB cable that originally connected to the device to the computer, and the end of the USB cable that was originally connected to the device to the computer. After that it started working as expected.

Pros
  • Internal TV tuner and capture cards
Cons
  • Not bad
