I can confirm a USB-A adapter does work, and it goes without saying that it does need to be USB 3.0...Happy to report that I don't need to use the adapter anymore tho since I upgraded my PC. Great review! I love my Elgato. I did end up buying a 3D printed cover for it from Etsy, I don't like webcams not having a cover.
It would be great if Elgato could release a stand alone Gimbal for it's face cams that integrate with the camera hub software easily. So as soon as it is connected via USB port through the Gimbal you can then connect the gimbal to the back of you computer and have a great eco system to compete with the other webcams such as Insta 360 Link and Tiny Osbot Tiny 2 4K!
If you can only broadcast in OBS at 1080 x 720 how does this cam scale down? . I live in AK so my connection speed it lower.. Fiberoptic coming next sunmmer.
i have a DELL G3 3779 and i can not use the effect mode back round or the blur effect...it says that the machine is not good enough ..so tell me what kind of pc you using ...and can i use this with a mac book air M1 laptop..
Can you post a link for the mount that you're talking about being able to hang from about when you're doing unboxing? The one that was two bars that had a hinge in the middle. I couldn't understand what you said so.. I'm also very very tired right now. apologies.
Am I the only one having constant issues with this camera when streaming and gaming? I’ve gone through massive troubleshooting with elgato and researching myself. Constant disconnects and lagging/skipping when gaming and using the virtual camera. Stay away from this camera until Elgato figures this out
Kiyo Pro Ultra is a slightly smaller Starvis sensor but its lens lets in more light to make up for that probably still gets better low light performance.
A $300 webcam that has autofocus issues, this is not acceptable. I'm sure autofocus is one of the main reasons people want this camera, along with the resolution, frame rate, and effects capabilities.
what a mistake of purchase from me. camera gets really hot and now had the red blink of death and no longer will focus, so everything is super blurry. for the last week elgato support has been yanking me left and right in support. should've just bought something else. $300 down the drain, !!!Buyer Beware!!!
I bought the camera and it works great, but DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET A USBC CABLE FROM ELGATO FOR OVER 5 MONTHS. IT TAKES A SPECIAL CABLE AND THEY'VE BEEN SOLD OUT. I WOULD CHECK IF THEY HAVE FIXED THEIR SUPPLY PROBLEM BEFORE BUYING
No special cable required. And it comes with a USB-C cable included so I’m not sure what you mean. You even say it works great. Can you clarify the issue you are referring to and why you are recommending not to buy?
I’m blown away by the clarity from a webcam. It’s definitely been on my radar, and now I’ve got to get one
I just got mine today and it's really great for the price, it's almost like buying a DSLR camera without spending 500-1000 dollars on a DSLR setup.
@@theempire4616 Slightly worse than a Canon M50 but gives you twice the fps and no battery charging annoyances.

Thanks for sharing.
I have the Kiyo Pro more than happy with just a 1080p camera does the job. £300 for a cam that has issues is crazy.

wow, Elgato are getting more and more impressing with their gagdets! great review Sir!
Great review with lots of useful information thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I would really like to buy this webcam, but unfortunately it is currently sold out in Germany :/
NICE VIDEO BRO THANKS
Thanks for watching

W. Thank you for the great review.
Mine sometimes tells me to switch the cable from 2.0 to 3.0
I usually unplug then plug it back in to fix the issue but should i get a different cable?

What software did you use to capture your screen whilst doing the Elgato demo?
nice review!! just out of curiosity where did you get that frame for holding the top view camera ? it looks nice.

Doesn't really seem to be a point in buying this webcam when the Kiyo Pro Ultra exists with it's superior sensor.
Kiyo Pro Ultra is a slightly smaller Starvis sensor but its lens lets in more light to make up for that probably still gets better low light performance.
How do you put.your self.on the screen like that ?
Huh

No windows hello support....... and no privacy shutter... its a hard no from me dawg.
