Fun tip: Don't clamp your boom arm to the desk with your mouse and keyboard... Clamp it to an adjacent object. It really cuts down on the vibration noise.

Good review. You felt the same way I did about the boom arm. Love it. Im still using it to this day and I reviewed this kit maybe a year ago. I made a couple of moderations to it. Changed the base piece since I don’t need that huge cup holder and replaced it with a small headset holder.

The Emeet S800 was a consideration along with the Osbot Tiny 2 Lite. It is my understand that they both use the same Sony sensor. During the Prime Day sale the price difference was narrowed and the ultimately the software and StreamDeck (future) integration swayed my decision in the direction of the Tiny 2 Lite. Used your content on the Tiny 2 Lite as one of the sources during research and your link when it was bought as I learned about it through you. Had the price not dropped on the Tiny I just might have gone with the S800. This webcam has a good looking image. That direct comparison has got me second thinking the decision... Hmmmm. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting review. Only recently tried obs as thought it was costly software to enable me to use a Sansung Note8 as temp webcam. My existing fhd webcam is failing when zooming with poor colours and fault lines in output. Never considered how we sound until now and lots of budget webcams have poor audio so very surprised at this price level this Emeet was also low quality! thanks for thorough review 👍

The Anker c310 is honestly horrible. The image quality is subpar at best. They are clearly using a very old Sony sensor, image suffers from horrible image ghosting & is very pixelated with even the slightest movement.Also the HDR turns the image into hot garbage. It's also severly over exposed out of the box. The software is kinda decent though. However if you disable auto exposure & adjust it manually within standard UVC controls it will reset it back to auto Everytime you turn the camera off/on or unplug it. This behavior exists with or without their software.
@MisterVaper12 сағат бұрын
Forgot to mention, 60fps mode makes the image look even worse as well. Auto focus is subpar to. Had they used a newer Sony sensor with better image quality they could of had a nice offering coupled with their software.

Hey mike I really need ur help right now, I just bought a fduce SL40, I watched your view on it, and a few others that led me to purchase it. And I plugged it in USB-C, and the sound I got is completely different, it's not even comparable. It's not "bad audio" nothing is wrong with it, it's just a completely different sound, It has close to no detail, all the "bass" in it is gone, and it just sounds like it's just "there". I took the metal grill off and found the capsule was blue, instead of yellow like it was in the reviews I watched. Do you think this is why it sounds like that? and am I able to get I guess a "older" version of it then?
@levelupwithmikenewman11 күн бұрын
I honestly am not sure if they changed the capsule. If you are using OBS while in USB, you can add some low-end back in there through the audio filter in the 3 band equalizer if you want to save the money. That’s interesting though about your capsule. 🤔I will check to see what color mine is.

I absolutely love the app for OBSBOT, but there is no denying the video quality of the ZV-1F through a capture card.
