It looks like we've finally made it to a point where webcams can have quality that competes with Mirrorless or DSLR Cameras. Would you buy this over a more expensive option for your content?

Yes 🙌 because it’s affordable and it also depends on what kind of content creations you are making ,Like for gaming it’s top notch and won’t run your pockets with ridiculous prices as a beginner, because you have to buy the capture card and the mini hdmi to HDMI the stand the lights and the whole kit it makes more sense 😊

I didn't know you had access to this hell of a webcam!! Missed this video, duuuude I'm so happy that you could had it in your hands and test it... I mean, it will never be a DSLR but for the price and conveniance of use this thing worths every cent of it. Too bad we can't get it in Argentina :C

I'm enjoying your channel. I'm a new sub who currently uses the Logi C920 & C922. I'm perfectly happy with the cams, but I'm always looking for better. I've been looking at the Razer Kiyo Pro for awhile. I fully agree about removing the mics on the webcams; even your basic $50 (As of this writing) Blue Snowball sounds better. Thank you Joe.

Thanks Mike for the kind words. Yeah there are some great webcams out there now. The Facecam and Facecam Pro don't have mics on them (well the facecam for sure) and it's just saving space and money. When you are looking to make the jump, you'll have some great options

Mic is helpful for syncing video and audio during video production

The new Osbot tiny 2, has a larger sensor not sure how it compares but would be a cool video comparison. Additionally I am the bananas teleconferencer 😂 dealing w customers it makes a better impact and better presentation having obviously higher quality audio and visuals.

Hi Joe, I actually had the same issue as yourself (also have the Pro Ultra) when it was only 1080p. You have to connect it to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, I had mine connected to a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, majority of motherboards currently only have 2 or 3 Gen 2, while all other USB are Gen 1. Not sure if that is your issue but this got me my 4k 30fps.

@Progz we believe that i may have had too many devices going on the PC or that one of the ports was meant to be USB 3.1 had an issue. I gave the camera back to CGM and i no longer have that PC... As far as I know they have it working at CGM. Razer may be shipping right from the manufacturer so that can be the reason for your issue. I got mine before they were released so that is a different story

I agree, since really the only big change is the sensor, but what we are getting with something like this or a Facecam Pro is an option that lies between the previous models of webcam and the gigantic leap in price that gets us to a mirrorless. It's all about finding that balance between money and quality for ach creator.

Hey Joe, i hv ZV1, Kiyo Pro Ultra looks good at least for a webcam. Color & bg blur looks nice too. Do you still use it? Hows the software, autofocus & 4K issues?

@MiscastJoe

3 ай бұрын

I have a Sony A7iii that is my main camera, so I don't typically stick with any webcam. The 4K issue was an issue with my cable which was resolved after the video came out. Autofocus is a sore spot for most webcams with that constant searching/breathing, but enough have a decent enough depth of field that, if you are staying on one spot while on camera, you are safe to use manual focus to avoid that.

12:08 I never mirror my video because mirrors frighten me.

I have this cam and yes, sometimes there is no option for 4K. What works for me - connect to active usb hub with external power and connect to usb3.0. It is still occasionally drops the 4K option but detaching the camera cable and connecting it again usually helps. Razer builds awesome products but their software SUCKS!

I need a webcam for a communicator to see around because of my disability. I move around on a ambulance stretcher. I need a sturdy quality cam, that has a good zoom and works in different lighting conditions. This looks pretty good, can´t decide between this or OBSBOT Tiny 2. Image quality is great in Kiyo, it looks really sturdy and you can protect the lens easily and attach it to a support arm. But software seems really unstable. OBSBOT has obvious upside that I can move it myself. But could brake when in transit because it´s size and you can´t cover it(you would have to remove it during transit). Can you attach it to a support arm easily like Kiyo Ultra? Planning to start making vlogs also in near future and film on trips if possible. Would get both if I could, but need to choose one. I could use help to choose best for me. Open to other suggestions as well.

@MiscastJoe

Well the Tiny 2 has a 1/4" thread for tripod or arm mounting plus its monitor mount is magnetic and very strong. Not knowing a ton about your disability, I would still suggest that it may be your best option. The Kiyo Pro Ultra is a better quality camera, but would indeed be a bigger pain when it comes to controlling it via software.

@@MiscastJoe So I can attach Obsbot 2 to a support arm? That is great news. I use a Lenovo X13 Yoga tablet computer with Windows 10 that has Tobii Eye Sensor. There is always a chance Eye Control doesnt work with the software but that risk is with every camera. I like that it has remote controller if I cant control it my helper/nurse can help me with it. I went little crazy and ordered the new wireless OBSBOT Air that is in final stage in Kickstarter now. Hope it doesnt take long to get it. I have my crappy old Windows camera until I get a new. I am planning to make a short film and start a vlog and wireless camera I can control would be perfect. And you can control multiple cameras. If it is good I can get 1 or 2 more. Hope I didnt make a mistake and Kickstarter goes through and it doesnt take half a year or more before it is delivered . I waited 3 years for one Kickstarter once. That would suck royally.

I'm so on the fence, if I should buy this camera (350€) or a Sony ZV1F (450€). Until now, I used my phone for overhead Lego streams and I would like to upgrade. The camera quality looks really nice, but I'm afraid of the software. So, what would you say, is it better to invest 100€ more and get an vlogger camera or get the Kiyo Pro Ultra?
