Elgato Facecam vs Razer Kiyo Pro and Razer Kiyo

[@jamiepoirier1444]

This was a great, thorough overview detailing enough different use case scenarios that it was extremely helpful! You've got a good delivery too. Thank you and great work!

[@Neosinder2]

You are so damn underrated for reviews. Love the videos.

[@CollectingWeekly]

This was a great review for our team for upgrades! Thank you!

[@scyzorpl]

I've got the Razer Kiyo for 34 $ and happy with it =) Subbed =)

[@andriikasperskyi]

Thanks for your video ❤

[@switchblade1984]

Man. Great job on the Review. It was very helpful!

[@nick.dedmor7504]

Excellent review thanks!

[@CurrentKick]

Just found your channel. This review is awesome! I've had some Target gift cards burning a hole in my pocket for a while. Going with the Kiyo Pro. Keep up the great reviews! Subbed!

[@YoutuberMaskarado]

Did you buy it? Still recommend? I am looking for a webcam for calls and also to do reviews.

[@iYakuza11]

Great review! Given the budget, I will go for Kiyo

[@FireBlade57]

Thanks for showing the auto settings. Almost nobody does. Important for us with work laptops where you can't install anything.

[@TurtleReckoning]

Good review mate

[@omgoddess7]

Great reviews!

[@Sabotage777able]

The Kiyo Pro looks better in my opinion. Great vid

[@scyzorpl]

I just wanna say THANK YOU VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY MUCH yep it was the Shadowplay in nvidia now the webcam works

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

Right on, glad to hear it!

[@cryptospoke]

Excellent review.

[@pointsofhonesty]

good review!

[@youngdutt5514]

very cool video. Best one ive seen comparing cameras. How do u get 3 cameras to record at the same time tho?

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software). You can add as many video sources to one scene as you want.

[@youngdutt5514]

@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews Thanks ill ty this, but I just don't think my pc can recognize a second or third or one.

[@sarahpenberth2948]

how does the razer kiyo original look the best???

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

How indeed! My hypothesis is in order to get "uncompressed" 1080p 60 FPS through USB 3.0 with minimal delay, they sacrificed fidelity and sharpness. A couple instances that support this are the AVerMedia PW513 which doesn't look that good at 1080/60 and the Logitech Brio that gets a drastic improvement in colors when used at 1080/30.

[@zsgamingtv]

so.. what webcam do you prefer?

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

I use the Logitech Brio

[@slavazavalin]

@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews I have several brio cams with different setups and absolutely ALL of them have the same flickering issues that drive me nuts. I researched the problem, installed newest firmware, played with different codecs, etc. and it gets only worse. I use them professionally (not for KZbin) and can't accept the flickering in my videos that I use in my work with students for long distance learning. Recently I switched to Elgato and like its relative simplicity. For better quality videos I use my Fujifilm mirrorless cameras.

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

@@slavazavalin It's one of those "your mileage may vary" types of situations. One of the reasons I don't even try to use the Facecam is because I've had it completely freeze 5-6 times while trying to record videos with it. Unfortunately, it's tough to diagnose flickering and freezing, but as long as you got the device that works for your needs, it's all good.

[@slavazavalin]

@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews I totally agree! Who knows what's going to happen tomorrow :D

[@slavazavalin]

@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews ...and I liked brios when they worked

[@daddypotato2719]

Is razer kiyo pro can only used for streaming and not for vlogging?

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

You can use it for whatever you want, but it's not portable so you can only vlog in one spot while it's connected to a computer.

[@MigueLionMusic]

Hello my brother, subscribed, congratulations on your comparative videos, the truth is that I have not yet decided whether to go for the Kiyo Pro, the Brio 4k or the avermedia cam 513 or the Facecam (the latter is the most expensive at $ 200), could you tell me Which would suit me more for my use that will be for videoconferencing, possible videovlogs, and as a second camera for piano cover videos like those of my channel, also how the Brio 4K looks in HDR at 1080p / 60fps compared to the Kiyo pro that it looks better in HDR but they say it goes down to 1080p / 30fps when activated, also know if with the latest update of the Kiyo pro the automatic focus has improved because when one moves the focus is lost, the other to know if the Kiyo Pro can save the configuration since they say that with the brio 4k it does not save it, grateful for your answer, greetings from Lima Peru (I have translated this from Spanish to English).

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

I definitely say the Brio. Since I made this video, I continued to try out all the webcams in a bunch of videos. The Brio is just so much sharper than everything else and the field of view makes it flexible for different uses and angles like your videos. The HDR doesn't seem to actually do anything on the Brio. I've tried it in Logitech G Hub and Logi Capture. The image is exactly the same. But still, I think the dynamic range of the Brio is just as good and sometimes better than the Kiyo Pro, you just won't have a frame rate drop. The Brio not saving settings is very annoying, but I think it's worth it for the better overall video. EDIT: And to add about the Kiyo Pro software, the update actually bricked people's devices so I still haven't updated my firmware. I heard it's better autofocus but I can't risk it on mine.

[@KrzysztofChrzan]

Good review, It helps me to choose the right camera. I think I will bought Razer Kiyo pro because is much cheaper than Elgato so this small differences doesn't affect to me.

[@shorfan]

Opinions on it?

[@KrzysztofChrzan]

@@shorfan i can tell just that i am satisfied.

[@YoutuberMaskarado]

Are you still satisfied with it? Still recommend it?

[@KrzysztofChrzan]

Didn't found any bugs. Till i couldn't compare it with elgato by myself - I would bought again.

[@kedralive]

What do you recommend? Razer kiyo (not pro) or Logitech c920? I don't know which one to choose, I hope you will help me. I'm going to stream to KZbin in 1080P.

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

C920 because the colors are better.

[@kedralive]

@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews I suppose the colors can be changed? And what has better quality? C920 or maybe Kiyo? In my country kiyo costs 62$ and c920 about 82$

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

@@kedralive I think it would be best to judge which one has better quality with a video example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boOqo2dpqLtnndU. Pretty much said everything there is to say about the Kiyo vs C920 in that video.

[@krixtian2318]

Hi bro. What's the best webcam under 150usd right now? The elgato is 150usd and the kiyo pro is 99usd right now on Amazon. Should i go for one of them? Or is there another option atm? Or the brio is 164usd

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

Top 3 under $150 imo are Nexigo N970P, then Brio, then Kiyo Pro. But N970P requires a firmware update. Free, but a bit annoying to find.

[@krixtian2318]

@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews nice. But is it worth the extra 64usd for the nexigo/brio over the kiyo pro?

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

@@krixtian2318 if you're going to be using it for content creation in 4K, yeah. if it's for Zoom calls at 1080p, no one will probably care that much.

[@krixtian2318]

@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews thanks a lot

[@Duoriey]

I'm having a problem and I don't know where to ask for help, I have a Razer Kiyo Pro, and it doesn't work on one of my computers, it keeps blinking and distorting everything, I tested the web cam on two other computers and it worked normally. do you know how to help me? my config is 10400F on a B460m D3H (Rev 1.0), I tried a clean reinstall of windows and it didn't work.

[@YoutuberMaskarado]

Did you fix it? How?

[@Duoriey]

@@KZbinrMaskarado Yes, I fixed it, basically the problem was on the motherboard and not on the web cam, I just had to update the BIOS

[@scyzorpl]

Hi there i was so hyped about the Kiyo webcam but i've got a problem synapse detects it the microphone works and it gives me a message for a split second the webcam being used by other program there is no video feed and no ring light updated the firmware even tried windows 11 drivers and security settings are all good synapse got permission to use the webcam the only thing i wanna ask did you connected your to USB 2.0 because my motherboard only has 3.0 and 3.1 usb ports its a true pain in the A.. anyone maybe got a solution how to fix it maybe its the nvidia experience blocking my webcam

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

It could be NVIDIA experience, I know Shadowplay uses the webcam, but not sure of their other software. I'm using USB 3.0. You don't need to use Razer Synapse at all for the original Kiyo though. It doesn't do anything that you can't already do in OBS. It just conflicts with other software.

[@scyzorpl]

@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews Thank You for responding tried the shadowplay same thing looks like i've got a broken webcam ;/ and won't send it back anytime soon do i'm home locked do to covid ;/

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

@@scyzorpl Dang, that's rough. Razer support might be able to send you another one or diagnose what's causing the issue. I'd hit them up.
