I liked the footage from the Insta360 the best, not to mention it had real PTZ-motion and thus that portion was WAY better than on any of other cameras. I don't think I'll ever need an expensive, high-end webcam, but I'll definitely keep that one in mind -- maybe e.g. the husband will eventually need one with good image and proper tracking, since he's been working a lot remotely and often participates in streamed meetings.

[@michaelp3093]

One of the biggest issues that I will stay away from the Insta360 (and no one on KZbin has ever mentioned) is the camera pings Chinese Domain 1K Per Day. Also their software has shady privacy agreement that I don't think we should take the risk. This is confirmed by our IT with the same finding from one of their Amazon reviews: "my corporate IT security team which made me immediately cease and desist the use of the Instalink360 webcam because the software sends information to a Chinese owned Domain Name Service (DNS). My network security team flagged the device because it was flooding my companies firewall logs with over 1,000 DNS calls with in a 24 hour period."

[@WereCatf]

@@michaelp3093 After re-reading your comment properly, yeah, that is annoying. That could be solved with a couple of firewall-rules, though.

[@TINHHOANGHON]

Can anyone confirm this issue?

[@michaelp3093]

​@@WereCatf But we should also read their privacy agreement. "should you have a dispute about misuse of your information, you agree to the jurisdiction of a Chinese judicial system and the exclusive venue is in China". And you can't find it when you install the software. It's not a good sign. They also have a security leak in August 2022. You could find it with a quick google search. Yes, it's an amazing device if the software/privacy is not a concern.

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

@@michaelp3093 How exactly is it pinging China? Does the cam itself have an IP address or is it through the software?

[@Naratis]

the insta360 actually had some very pleasing results, even though the colors weren't as true to life as you say they were in the elgato pro camera they looked the way that I probably would've tried to edit the elgato one anyways and the quick autofocus is a plus

[@stevekirsch8284]

Wow. Nexigo Iris ....A webcam with manual white balance and tint. Amazing. I never thought I'd see the day some manufacturer did it RIGHT. A vectorscope (like in vMix) is awesome for adjusting both :)

[@CoalitionGaming]

So good that webcams are finally reaching a level where their quality is becoming more and more acceptable. The Facecam Pro is actually impressive, but man does quality come at a premium with these nowadays. The secondhand Sony A5000 with quick software "hack" for clean HDMI out, a $100 Sony 16mm F2.8 lens, a cheap capture card, and a dummy battery is a hard deal to beat by comparison (especially since its possible to get that combo all for under what some of these webcams cost). I'd say for streamers looking for an upgraded face cam, the a5000 combo is the way to go. But like you said, people needing the webcam simplicity, something more portable, stuff like that...its good to see the options for that are giving better results than they ever have. Great vid!

[@FlockofAngels]

Great video, thanks for sharing this info! It is excellent to see the state of new webcams. I have an iPhone 14 and Samsung Galaxy S22 and I have been using them as webcams, I can use them wired or WiFi with various apps. And they both serve as multipurpose devices.

[@pretzel_tfg]

I think I like the look of the insta360 one best, but the footage from the Elgato may have just been a bit too bright. The 360 looked like it had "better" colors. Still, as cool as they are I can't justify 300 on a camera nowadays haha. I'd just plug my a6500 back in for a bit if I needed video for a little bit.

[@WizardCM-1337]

Of the cameras shown, only the Insta360 Link hits the bar I'm looking for in a webcam and would be worth the price tag. The Elgato Facecam still has some weird softening that I don't like (it's especially obvious around your hair). The others aren't even worth mentioning if you're going for high quality. Thanks for putting together this comparison!

[@AJCoReTV]

Great update on 2022 webcam offerings

[@imjuststefon]

I heard that you could use the auto focus on the Elgato to save multiple preset focus distances and switch between them on the stream deck. If that’s true, that seems like a good feature for someone who may not need auto focus on all the time, but may still need an up close focus when they show off something or a long distance focus in case they move away from their normal positions for like pushups for channel point redemptions or something. Plus you can preset the zoom on the Elgato without losing the image quality, which could be used in a similar manner. Seems like a good option especially if you are entering in or apart of the Elgato ecosystem.

[@burgunbeerd]

The Insta360 still looks the best by a fair margin imo. If they could sell it without the gimbal for a decently cheaper price I'd say it was the only choice

[@serrael-182]

Yes this cam under 200 and no one would buy something else anymore.

[@scotchbox]

The Insta360 Link has literally replaced 3 cameras in my setup: It's even made streaming huge board games like Gloomhaven easier, with its 6 saved positions and the AR stickers to put it virtually over key information that's several feet off-angle. The only disappointment is that it's not a panacea for VR streaming: It doesn't track a face in a headset (surprisingly Broadcast does) and due to the small size you can't put a Vive puck or other tracker on it for Mixed Reality. Which is a shame; a fully autonomous gimballed mixed reality camera would make Holodeck streams a one-button affair.

[@ViciousXUSMC]

Interesting concept, I love playing games with my GF and would love to get some group games together. Short of grouping like 2 cameras together or more the idea of just one sounds neat. (I also have the Insta360 X2 so could use that in center and film 360 and edit in post) So you just snap the AR anchors onto your game area and keep that in focus, and set a few other focus points to each player and short of shift between them live as your play? How are you controlling that while playing, or do you have a dedicated camera person? Also while on the subject, what are you using for audio capture? For 2 persons I could LAV each person, for group I think I would try a shotgun overhead mic first, and I also have a Ambisonic Microphone that would be great hanging down off a C Stand.

[@scotchbox]

@@ViciousXUSMC The Insta360 Link actually has a few tricks up its sleeves, including a simple Look Down mode as well as a mode that only looks down 45 degrees, but distorts the image to look like it's from your point of view. So each of our 6 positions could be any number of these funky modes, whichever seems best for that moment and location. I'll try linking to an example, but I don't know how KZbin will feel about that... As for the audio, we actually started using the mics built into the webcam. Surprisingly, it's pretty okay! It's in the ballpark of an overhead Yeti, and all my other mics are either too sensitive (Neumann) or too tight (SM7B). Not studio quality, but in a well treated room you'd get away with it. We have considered LAVing everyone, but at a certain point that's more time spent tech-ing than hanging out and playing games. Edit: As for control, I'm using a Stream Deck. There is no official integration, so the stream deck just clicks at specific screen coordinates. As long as the insta360 bar is in the right place, I can switch between the 6 locations and a few effects like head tracking.

[@scotchbox]

[@ViciousXUSMC]

@@scotchbox Ok pretty cool, I have a Stream Deck and Pedal as well, I also might find a way to build my own GUI that I can run or use touch portal so I can keep that stuff connected to my main PC. The nice thing about Ambisonic is depending how much work I want to put in post I can change the audio direction anywhere in a 360 spectrum, if I record with a 360 camera I can match all of that so people can look around in 360 VR and the sound moves with them. The tricky part is when you want "headlock" audio or to fold in 2D video along side VR video. I have several Condenser microphones that I don't use because what you said too sensitive, really needs to be in a recording environment, I use the SM7B as my main VO microphone because it rejects all the noise in my office. I have a full server rack in my office and you cant really even hear it.

[@scotchbox]

@@ViciousXUSMC Hey, I was tempted by a gato pedal in general... It didn't occur to me to free up my hands and table space during board game streams... When we've got 6 players that could be a lifesaver. Yoink!

[@Aquamaui.mp4]

Interesting video! My fav is by far the 360 Link. The new Elgato one is not bad tbh but has that weird „milky“ look like their first webcam. Also the focus hunting would drive me crazy

[@AlexusDelphi]

The webcam setup I use is a Mokose C100 run through a CamLink 4K. Does pretty well

[@TechSecSpaceGeek]

Take my opinion as worth the $0.00 you paid for it, but my day job is as a solution architect in video collaboration. I’m 100% remote and on video with colleagues and clients for dozens of hours per week. My current camera of choice for “must look great and can’t have an issue” calls is the Insta360 Link. I absolutely love it, and I have access to the “professional” video conferencing gear…which is collecting dust in my closet.

[@ViciousXUSMC]

So got the Nexigo Iris today, on sale for $215. My first impressions were.... It's still a webcam lol. With enough light it does pretty well, but that larger sensor did not make as much a difference as I had hoped it would, and even at ISO 100 there is a TON of noise without Noise Reduction and that just does not make sense to me as no camera I have ever had created so much noise at that low of an ISO. I could see absolutely no quality difference in 4K vs 1080, assuming its super sampling 1080 from 4K. It still makes a great B-Roll, Second Angle, etc camera. For this purpose I think I would prefer any of the top 3 webcams over getting another DSLR and Capture Card. However I am quite torn if I want to keep it or not. The Link looks great, and has some neat features, the remote on the Iris is nice for control, and the Elgato of course has all the Elgato integration and nice hub software. Personally I do not care for 60fps, so that is not an advantage for me. I also think the review mentioned one thing that might really suck for many people, no Microphone on the Elgato. So I am stuck sending this back and maybe getting the Link, as even with the smaller sensor it seems to do really well, the size is an advantage, and also nice it has an F1.8 aperture. Elgato seems to be getting all the craze, reviews, and coverage, but as a technical person it honestly seems like the worst of the top 3. I personally would be very happy if you did a more in depth review of these 3. The software, the control, minimum focus distance, noise at each ISO level without noise reduction, etc.

[@EposVox]

I’m not sure I understand the value in turning off the NR, especially the 3D NR - when every “real camera” you use is running some degree of noise reduction from the sensor before you get the video, too. Seems like an unfair comparison.

[@ViciousXUSMC]

@@EposVox Very well possible, I should say with a DSLR or P&S I turn it off and it doesn't do that. Maybe still adding it on its own behind the scenes. I was not saying there is value in turning it off, except well the lower the NR the better the original detail is present. I was just blown away with how "bad" it looked at first glance compared to my old M50 with a smaller sensor and only 1080P. In the years and years of looking at new cameras, the noise is usually a big comparison point, I suppose the only fair way to compare the sensor and it's noise is to turn off any NR to see if there is inherently a difference. Else it could just be masked by over the top NR and hurting other details. With 4K and the bigger sensor, it still had that "webcam" look, just could not find the right look, and sharpness and clarity I was hoping to see. But this is using it as a FaceCam, I moved it over to some non human items like if I was doing a product review, and it did great for that scenario. I guess my personal dilemma now is keep the Iris as its the cheapest, or send it back to get the Link or Elgato camera to see if they are worth the extra in some way. Most likely I'll keep the Iris for now, and keep an eye out for the Link on Black Friday. Since by comparison its the most different while the Iris and Elgato I think are more direct head 2 head. If you personally have any reason to say Elgato > Nexigo Iris that would be good to hear. I do have the majority of the Elgato ecosystem with the Stream Deck and everything already, but for a camera I cant think where any additional integration would really be of benefit.

[@eddiehateseverything]

Insta360 is by far the best option - but after contacting them directly, they said you can only setup and adjust ONE camera within their software. Still on the hunt for the best multicam setup that works without a capture card. OBSBot allows up to 4, but they don't have particularly good manual control. I want the Insta360 Link quality and control with 4 cameras, damn it!

[@JSGilbert]

There are several flavors of the Huddlecam 4k ptz. Quite often they’ll go on sale. I got several of the NDI cameras for under $200, although, at $249-$279, they’re still a good buy. They have full onscreen camera controls that you’d find on a top-of-the-line Sony or Canon camera. Also eptz, with a remote and presets. One remote can also run several cameras. It is 4k 30fps, also with downsampling available. I don’t mind the 30fps limitation. It’s plug and play. Also, mine feature both USB/ HDMI connections, so hooking up to an ATEM mini, etc. works great.

[@Housestationlive]

something you don't know when you purchase theses, is that the usb-c cable is usualy too short and 3 meters cable of usb c worth 50 dollars.

[@bryceyorkpm]

Any thoughts on the Opal C1 yet?

[@konmaiquality417]

I can hear the cat in the background and I wouldn't change it for the world

[@ViciousXUSMC]

Using the M50 and Capture and so happy with that quality and flexibility, but when you want alternative angles in a shot, this makes sense as long as the quality is good enough. I think the ability to change optics on the SLR is the big advantage, but 3 cables instead of one just for one camera... and of course now when I need to do photos I don't want to disconnect my camera to use it.

[@rodrimora]

How it is possible that for me, the Insta360 has the best detail and color skin tones out of the bunch? Looks too much like a DLSR or am I crazy?

[@SirJulianTaylor]

Great overview. Thanks for the footage of each. Question: Being that you have reviewed both the NexiGo Iris and the HuddleCam Pro, which would you say is better? They seem pretty much the same but HuddleCam Pro has more ability to fine tune in the settings? Price between the two is not that far off.

[@XxDeViLBrInGeRxX]

Expensive webcams are kinda what Point & Shoot cameras are for, take pictures and call it a day without messing with many manual controls, just using "modes" instead. The Camlink Pro definetly reminded me of my Lumix G7 autofocus with the bundle lens it came with, not much fun until I dropped a Sigma lens on it, at least now the autofocus is acceptable lol.

[@scotchbox]

Most webcams that feature AI which blurs backgrounds, etc., are using NVIDIA Broadcast by another name; NVIDIA offer their "Maxine SDK" for free to partners. That's how RTX voice got into OBS. Expect Elgato, etc., webcams to start offering AI gaze redirection (so you always make eye contact with your webcam) and related tech which is already available in Maxine.

[@GhostSamaritan]

I've heard good stuff about the Obsbot Tiny 4k too. They say it's comparable to the Insta360 but cheaper. Edit: There's also the Obsbot Meet that's wayyy cheaper but has awesome quality. Probably the best value webcam one can get right now.

[@shubinternet]

I have the ObsBot Tiny 4k, and I quite like it for the PTZ features, video quality, and auto color balance, etc.... I am tempted enough to try the Insta360 that I think I'm going to get that one as well and do my own head to head comparison.

I think nowadays its justifiable to spend $300 on a webcam considering they are a lot better options (plus they are better in hardware) than they were 4 years ago, plus if people can afford a $1200 iPhone I'm pretty sure $300 for a webcam isn't so bad.

I agree, but if you've got good WiFi, you can still use your phone via the NDI HX - app on your phone and the NDI plugin for OBS-studio (and the plugin seems to have just been updated for latest OBS 5 days ago).

These do look nice, but my current solution of using my old LG v10 and v30 with NDI HX Camera cost all of $20 for the app and a bit of frustration sometimes. Overall though it works very well, albeit with the double compression issue you were talking about. I remember you doing a video at one point about using old iphones as webcams with Filmic Pro, and it was pretty cool then and has gotten even better now. With the whole continuity mode thing in mac OS it's a first party feature in the Apple world now. The NDI app has some bad reviews out there but overall my experience with it has been very good. I'm very tolerant of jank in my technology though, especially if it saves me a significant amount of money.

You can output 4k60 from virtual cam because it allows for multi view of 1080p60 sources and keeps maximum compatibility - but the cameras themselves cannot operate at 4k60, no. You’re either getting 1080p60 scaled too 4k or 4k30 in a 60fps feed lol That’s like putting a DVD in a 4K BluRay player and saying it’s 4K just because the BluRay player keeps a 4K signal to the TV

[@Deznere]

@@EposVox you could just make a video on it and compare it to Facecam Pro, but tis definitely not 4k30 in a 60fps feed. Could it be the 1080p60 scaled possibly but OBS has it as 4K60 and it looks better than 1080p60

MEOW!

I have power issues with my USB hubs, and it started after getting an Insta360. Not sure if it's the cause, but I don't trust Chinese products in general. In my experience, there's always something wrong with them.

the OBSbot has a remote but it is extra

I'll stick with Reincubate Camo for Android.

Some people should not be seen in 4K. A face for radio.

I assume you're looking in the mirror as you say that. The guy who does these videos is handsome enough.

The Facecam Pro can't take over the market if it hasn't been available since it launched.
