*Nice **Newest.Technology** cameras, superior to XT2 design, included Mount is much better.Note, these are slightly larger in size than the XT2, and don’t fit into enclosures designed fir the XT2. I tried them ...*

[@preshitamalhotra1267]

We’ve only had the cameras up and running for a short time. kzbin.infoUgkxOXxsTZ3ptV_Pk0fFl8bNZvVqeoqBQFwe So far we love them! I got the outdoor mounting kit for them and they were easy to install. Once you download the app, it walks you through the very easy set up. The clarity, and range is awesome. I am thinking seriously about adding another camera or two to my 3 camera system. The price is lower than a lot of comparable systems.

[@PrimalVideo]

Sounds great 😊 - Hazel, PV Team

[@LetsBuildThatApp]

It's really hard to go back to using webcams when you have a capture card dslr setup. Tradeoff is that we have to lug around lens and a tripods....

[@PrimalVideo]

It can be hard to change but sometimes it can be for the better (depending what you are filming and what works best for you!) 👍

[@chrissy93x]

I think those set ups are the best for Quality the downside is not many people can afford set ups like that you gotta pay so much money for these accessories / gear and equipment this is why i prefer Webcams given its not really ideal but it still does a decent job to record and its affordable and easy to set up you dont need so many plugs/cables/extra equipment like tripod stands and extra lighting which i think affects Camera Quality if you have poor lighting the webcam looks potato

[@wil677]

@@chrissy93x This is exactly what I was thinking 5mins ago. DSLR set up ofcourse has better quality over any webcams (so far I know) set up but not a lot of people can afford the cost of the whole set up and time.

[@sammitchell7310]

trade off is also the $1000 minimum price tag

[@GetRevved]

When comparing against the C922, even though the C922 looked darker, it also seemed to have a lot more detail in the image. The Brio image seemed really lacking in detail to me.

[@IbizanHound2]

Yeah, the C922 looks sharper, just look at his shirt, his face stubble and the surfer in that poster in the background. I don't know if its a matter of bad calibration though.

[@satanielgaming]

@@IbizanHound2 I almost think he got the devices wrong by looking at the quality.. Like.. Why is the higher end doing worse?

[@satanielgaming]

​@@CraftKid At 4:35 he claims the BRIO has better color yet looks more washed out and grey while the C922 looks much richer (look at the BLUE not grey shirt). You can also see MUCH finer detail in the C922 and the lighting is much more defined. It's called: proof is in the pudding, Puddin'

[@tistits]

it's because he uses the default brio config which sets the HDR and Wideview ON. I believe 4K cams works best without using HDR and Wideview.

[@JexoJahanzeb]

Exacty what my eyes caught. so i am looking for a webcam for twich stream, want to future proof, which one should i look for?

[@johnsuarez1404]

The video from the brio looks kind of washed out compared to the c922

[@slimelabAK]

Its because he has HDR checked.

[@tadbubs]

Justin, you NAILED this video...you always do. I'm floored by your ability to break down ALL the elements we need to know in order to make an informed buy. Thanks!

[@GregSereda]

I use the Logitech Brio 4K to record my KZbin videos. I don't use their software, though. I record it in OBS Studio. The quality is much better. Overall, it's a pretty good web cam. Even for recording KZbin videos. One thing that you need to know, though, is that if you don't have a lot of light then the exposure will be fidgity.

[@PrimalVideo]

Awesome! Yep with webcams having lots of light is critical. In my experience though this is one of the best for low light recording too, just need to make sure you lock the exposure in the software so it doesn't change constantly by itself.

[@nikosc]

Does recording with obs fix the variable bit issue thus the audio sync issue?

[@Faizwellcomesyou]

Hi. Can you share where you set the 4k for the brio and your video settings for OBS please in order to record 4k. Thanks

[@tiparafiscos]

My brio became hot when I start the tramission. Is it normal ? I gat a C920 and it doesnt became hot.

[@chrissy93x]

Yeah i suffer this problem too i have extremely low budget i was thinking to upgrade my webcam to something higher quality OBS is the best software to record from i agree. Downside is my room has bad lighting and I dont want to be blinded by lights in my room so generally i have 1 light source so my eyes dont hurt from intense light. I do think Lighting affects camera quality iv noticed in my videos sometimes my camera turns potato then normal as the light redirects in the room

[@mignighthorror01]

I just wants to know which one you were using to record this video. 😅 Sorry for asking something out of the box but your webcam quality is insanely good

[@joelpettit644]

This video looks amazing. Love the quality. Would love to know what camera you used to record it.

[@dorinxtg]

The video is from 2017. Right now (2019) the webcam finally use your nVidia card to do all the 4K encoding without "killing" your CPU. (you'll need GTX 1070 or above for that)

[@user-nm6st5yf1x]

Yo! Am actually looking to buy a good high quality Webcam!! Do you think you can recommend one!! I have a Dell G3 gaming laptop!! And the camera sucks!! So need a Webcam hahah

[@GrumpyWolfTech]

[@PrimalVideo]

No problem! 😀

[@Holllow007]

wait wait wait did you just do a 4k webcam review without showing any 4k footage from the camera? Only 1080p footage?

[@ultimatesunrise]

Great vid.. I subbed bruv!

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks - glad to have you here! 👍

[@TedMattos]

Hey Justin, great video as always. I'm currently using the C922, and wondering if I should upgrade to the Brio or not. Just wondering if you're still using the Brio two years later, or have you found a better webcam? Thanks much!

[@PrimalVideo]

I use a mix of the Brio and C922. Brio is my go-to though, better colors and better in low light :)

[@CraftKid]

@Sataniel Gaming He said that you get much brighter and much better colours coming through he is referring to the 4k webcam. Also the room he is in doesn't look the most lit. The quality on the right side looks like the contrast is just higher and darker with slightly less quality. I'm sure on a 720p or 1080p screen the darker looks more eye catching but this is not the actual case. Sorry not sorry. Also he never set the white balance in the video on the webcam on the left. If you don't do that it gets wonky and can look weird, I have both cameras and the 4k is way better.

[@symz81]

Am I the only one thinking the brio looks worse???

[@Blanka2471]

he didn't adjust the white balance on the brio, that's why. Also the brio can do 1080P at 60 fps so that's a plus.

[@BattleRapBoutique]

appears to be more contrast on the c922 which makes it look richer.

[@Inferno912]

nope :) lol

[@IbizanHound2]

Yeah, the C922 looks sharper, just look at his shirt, his face stubble and the surfer in that poster in the background. I don't know if its a matter of bad calibration though.

[@ethanbilby9173]

@@IbizanHound2 he didn't calibrate it properly, which is why the c922 looks a bit sharper. by all rights, 4k should look sharper than 1080p

[@BeanieDraws]

I've filmed all my videos (except my first two) on the C920 and it's served me very well. It is annoying that it will go out of focus, while in MANUAL focus mode, and before I had access to a proper microphone, the on board microphone is horrible. It picks up the sound of the shutter, or it pics up some sort of electrical noise constantly, and whenever the lens goes out of focus in manual mode, you can HEAR the lens refocusing (watch some of my early videos and you can hear it) The software was pretty average too. Good for quick adjusting of picture, but the preview when recording was too tiny. I'll have to see how the new software goes. What's the focus range like? Does it do good macro/close up? The way it mounts to a tripod now actually looks a little "meh". I like the ability to finely tweak the pivot of the camera without having to move the whole tripod or other mounting system. If I can convince Logitech to hook me up with one, I'm thing of doing an illustrator's review of it. the C920 has worked out well for me despite it's pitfalls.

[@PrimalVideo]

Hey Beanie Draws! The C922 camera has fixed pretty much all the issues you've had with your c920. That alone is definitely worth the update 😀 The tripod mounting is much better in my opinion.. as you said you may not get the micro movements without older style mount but it's also nowhere near as solid if you're going to be using a tripod, and you would make the adjustments on the tripod anyway👍 I'm not sure exactly what the focus range is for macro shots, I'm sure that's something you could find on their website but for close ups having the wide angle and zoom ability will give you much more creative control for close or wide shots.

[@nonameformeish]

wouldve liked seeing the background replacement or hearing the mic than just being told its bad

[@alaasaayed2746]

Hi Justin. Have you guys tested the Cisco Webex Desk Camera?

[@framerw47]

Thank you Justin! I've seen other reviews regarding this camera posted, but I've been waiting on yours before I form an opinion. Looks like I don't have any need to upgrade at this time. I'll save that money for a decent set of lights. 👍👍

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks Michael! Yep, it's a good webcam but I'd say there's a lot of people out there that probably won't need to upgrade yet 😀 Especially if you're using a C922 and not needing the extra features.

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

The design is subjective. I personally like the looks of the C922.

[@PrimalVideo]

Yep of course! The Brio is also much more of a fingerprint magnet too but I do like having the base detachable 😀

[@rts-randistechstudio3748]

Just bought this cam. It has a HORRIBLE issue with the image being grainy in 4k and 1080p. Turned off Auto-exposure, fixed that issue, but then drops the FPS down to like, 8. Might be great if you have a full blown lighting set up. (Firmware was updated, tried in OBS, Logitechs own software.)

[@spectacularangular637]

[@chrisbullock7187]

Hopping my i7-8700k/gtx 1080 Ti system will fair well with the 4k recording feature. I think System Ram and Hard Drive speed makes a big difference as well.

[@PrimalVideo]

No problem! The Logitech software is free to download for it. As for Live Stream software, we have a bunch of videos on our channel that could help your out!

[@LukeFlegg]

Is it only me who's realising the C922 is significantly sharper? The "4K" Brio is so obviously more blurry. I'm really confused by you saying no other webcam comes close, when the camera you're comparing it to is quite a lot better in terms of sharpness. I guess you must only care about colours

[@jcarman]

Hi I’ve just bought a 2019 Mac Pro 16 Core with 48GB RAM and the highest Graphics Card, the Mac arrives in 3-4 weeks. I know absolutely bugger all when it comes to webcams but all I know is I want to record in 4K in low light and I’m disabled so I can’t touch the actual webcam once it’s set up. I’ll change settings through the computer though. I won’t know until I get my new Mac Pro but the idea is to cam me playing games, I’d like some sort of fiery hell background but no idea yet as I’ve never owned a webcam. I also play guitar in a rock band so I often record guitar jams at home on my iPhone but I’m also thinking of recording on my iPhone but use the webcam as a different view shot then edit both shots in Final Cut Pro X, I’m completely guessing that is possible? ... Also I’m in a wheelchair so I’m assuming if I had a Green Screen or a Blue Screen behind me then would I keep crashing into it every time I moved? I’m a complete webcam noob but I know what I want etc. Can you help please. Oh I will also be using webcam to video chat with my niece and nephew if that factors into it? This video kinda put me off so is there any better 4K cams for me or is this it?

[@shawnbartley7541]

Awesome video bro!!!

[@PrimalVideo]

[@AdventureClass42]

I bought one of these and after 10+ hours of troubleshooting, fighting with drivers and reinstall of various Logitech software this camera has been unable to produce a clear image, i strongly recommend against anyone buying the brio. The driver and software issues are plentiful and the webcam doesn't seem to work at all with asmedia 3.1 usb controllers. I have tried various light setups, automatic vs manual exposure. third part software and i struggle to get the same quality that my c920 has given me for years. pass over the brio due to poor software support and wait for the next 1080p60fps camera for streaming, i haven't seen anything close to 4k looking images out of this camera. I will be returning this and waiting for a newer/better camera to be released that doesn't struggle with so many software/driver problems.

[@PrimalVideo]

I purchased this I when it was first release and it had some issues with quality and usability. We held off doing a review until it was all sorted with a firmware update. I'd make sure you're running the latest firmware. Before updating to that it wasn't great, now it's an awesome webcam

[@AdventureClass42]

@@PrimalVideo unfortunately myself and a friend ordered at the same time and with the newest firmware installed and attempts to use logitech camera software and logitech g hub as well as testing various obs settings, resolutions and compressions ex yuy2 ot mjpeg I just wasnt able to do get the image as clean as my c920 with older firmware. I have seen many having trouble and it seems like some of the newest firmware has the issue with reports of older ones working well. Unfortunately it seems trying to restore to an older version of firmware is a very difficult task.

[@4citiesUk]

Hi I’ve been watching your videos and as an expert in video wanted to ask you a quick question: I’ve got a canon EOS R with the RF 1.2 50mm and the Rf 24-105 lenses. I’ve been using them mostly for photography but since I started a new KZbin channel stated also using them for video. I’m still not sure which one is best. The 1.2 captures loads of light but forces me to have the camera far away from me which causes issues with positioning my lighting. The other one has only 1.4 aperture which means I need more light. Also the 4K video is cropped which is a big downside from the EOS R. Should I keep insisting with this system for video or maybe use one of these 4K webcams instead?
