Razer Kiyo Pro Review - See the Difference?

[@jjcarver80]

Holy crap, an actual review that's detailed and comprehensive. You earned my sub, homie.

[@neonbowser]

That's some nice HDR, just keeping background light sources from being blown out is worth it

[@evankirschenmann4653]

The quality of this video was amazing! I'm too used to home brew content for reviews like this, so it was a breath of fresh air to see everything covered like this, and with such quality.

[@SoldierKnowsBest]

Much appreciated!

[@sorcerykid]

Wow, this looks like one of the best webcams I've ever seen. I'd been wanting to finally upgrade from my cheap webcam for streaming on Twitch, and I'm sold!

[@LandonQizilbash]

Ive never seen a webcam look this good Hi this is me 5 months later. Elgato facecam is better

[@SYLVERLAIK]

Then you don’t really know a lot about webcams...

[@LandonQizilbash]

Im sorry, Did somebody ask?

[@angel.c2]

@@LandonQizilbash you really did him like that 🤣🤣🤣 but yeah you right that Webcam is insane

[@sorcerykid]

Yep, I've never seen a Webcam that really seems like worthy competition against Logitech Brio and Streamcam, but this one takes the cake.

[@LandonQizilbash]

@@sorcerykid yea, but I think the Elgato face cam is the champ

[@Dougwun]

That transition to the DSLR at the minute mark -- ooft. Now, I think the webcam looks great, and very promising, but it feels like the ultimate solution for premium quality will always be that DSLR setup. Then again, the price points are so vastly different, and the setup for the DSLR makes it harder for the average consumer to engage with. I'm really considering this Kiyo Pro now, after watching this review!

[@hotdubtime]

Hello. I don't need now this Razer. You better tell me please what cam you use to record this video

[@gabrielkeith4590]

He along with every other KZbinr probably uses an actual camera

[@stopfaking]

Not having the Adjustable Brightness Ring Light on this webcam is a GODSEND! The old Razer Kiyo was a burden to anyone who wore glasses during their stream, showing that bright white circle in both eyes the entire time. Something tells me the Razer team saw this as a big problem, which is why this camera has a hypersensitivity to surrounding light. The ring light on the original was a mistake - putting this camera (for people who wear glasses) on the low end of the buyers spectrum, for a huge markup.

[@SeeTwittyTV]

Thanks so much for the great review! I was trying to find a reviewer who also has brown skin so I could get an accurate look at the colors this thing delivers.

[@AndreDuarte503]

I saw this webcam on sale and made the buy after watching your video! Very informative!

[@SitiYustanti]

I’m a newbie to all this tech and recently decided to start doing ‘Let’s Plays’, so this video was SO helpful

[@TheYToLDSCHooL]

Clean review. Well played mate!

[@SoldierKnowsBest]

Thanks!

[@TheFastradaArchive]

Arguably the best webcam you can buy rn

[@jermainemorales7875]

I have a Razer Kiyo and immediately ordered one of these when they went up Tuesday. I’m just watching this video for hype purposes.

[@SoldierKnowsBest]

I do the same thing after I order things .

[@joelarmymahargo]

ur one the best tech reviewer out there!!!, keep it up bro!

[@SoldierKnowsBest]

I appreciate that!

[@djangojansen7648]

7:12 Is this recorded with HDR on the Kiyo Pro?

[@watersharky7589]

3:20 what camera are you using because you can see a big difference in smoothness between them even though I’m on a 60Hz IPhone

[@jayel2695]

exactly the details i needed for my new stream coming up! thank you for putting this out there!

[@caspiansfriend]

wow. Shopping for a client and trying to stay in their budget (very modest budget). This looks pretty good! I love the way that you make instant comparisons between the Kiyo Pro and your own setup, both video and audio. For the price, the Kiyo is pretty good! Thanks for your review!

[@FelipeMelanio]

Hi! Thank you for your great video! I bought the camera after seeing your video… sorry to bother you but I have one question… I’m using the camera with the Webcam Settings App on my Mac, how can I have the HDR feature using this app? Thank you in advance!

[@steffenkubler899]

Thanks for this complete test and presentation. You made my decision much easier. Very good content. Thanks !

[@Nicc93]

i bought the razer kiyo pro as my first webcam :) happy with my purchase

[@TravyJsSpace]

Sold! Thank you so much !!! 🙌🏼👏🏼🤙🏼 I’ve never seen a better review video! So thorough and detailed!! Extremely helpful and enlightening, keep up the good work! 🙏🏼

[@BM-wf8jj]

Great focused and informative review with no fluff. You got yourself a new sub sir 👍

[@TheMrSacred]

I bought the regular Kiyo on sale a few weeks ago and it was good. Nice to see they improved on the weak spots from that model

[@eloknu]

I really appreciate how informative this video is. I got the original kiyo a cpl of months ago for under $90 for streaming. I love it so far using it & it’s most def an upgrade to what I use to use WAY back in the day. $199 is a bit out of my price range but it’s def something I’ll be watching for sales or price drops come the holidays. That hdr def makes a world of a difference.

[@Jaycjones]

It’s actually $100 right now for black friday

[@ThunderFlo_]

It’s on sale on Amazon rn!!

[@TheQuark6789]

It seems to permanently be around $100 now, and refurbished and used units are even less.

[@mikeyfava]

It’s not sale for $90 currently!

[@TheVampyress]

60$ on Amazon today :)

[@oskarsu3096]

What camera u used while talking? if its Razer Kiyo pro than thats it....i ill buy it

[@eugenek777]

6:13 what's the guy on your background on the right? What's the device?

[@joseluisruiz3789]

I wish you would have compared it to the Razer Kiyo Webcam as I already own that one and I'm just not quite Convinced on buying the Pro Version. If it was 1080P at 60Fps with HDR on i would consider it even more but to see that I have to sacrifice frame rate to get HDR, and there is no focus adjustment and the led ring light was removed its hard for me to consider buying the new version.

[@SoldierKnowsBest]

Unfortunately, I don't have the original Kiyo anymore or I would have compared it. I agree with you wanting 1080p HDR at 60 fps. There is manual focus adjustment in the software, but you might be talking about physical adjustment on the webcam itself.

[@joseluisruiz3789]

@@SoldierKnowsBest yes exactly i was talking about that textured ring around the pro camera, it could have been used as a manual focus knob since they removed the led function. What a missed opportunity. However I really value your input on this and yeah this camera still seems to win the clarity part of the camera.

[@ACIDGREENTECHNO]

Subbed as soon as I saw the Miles Morales wallpaper. This was straight to the point. Thank you man!

[@PixelShade]

Anyone watching this video. Consider the Iriun Webcam software on Android. Your phone offers SO much better quality than any standard webcam. Even if this has one of the best quality video quality out there, it fails exceptionally even against mid-range phones like the Moto One Vision. The Positives: + Quality is absolutely spectacular + High resolution and high frame rates if your phone supports it - 1080p, 1440p 2160p (4K) at 60fps + Camera features remain, bokeh, focus, zoom etc. + I think the pro version cost around 5EUR (otherwise you are limited to 5 minutes) + Wifi & USB-capable. I recommend using USB since you will be charging and doing data transfer on real wire. To enable USB-mode you setup your phone as a developer (tap 5 times on the Settings > About Phone > "Build Number") and then enable USB-debugging The negatives: - a couple of frames delay - occupies the phone during recording/conversation and it becomes fiddly if somebody texts or calls. Best scenario. If you have an extra phone laying around, perhaps a good one with a cracked screen but good camera, it's a perfect application. I can highly recommend to try the software.

[@hollerncraft]

Thank you! I'm looking for a new cam to use for my channel, and this seems fairly high quality compared to what I use now, for recording top-down footage of my crafting table. And this seems to be the best one I can buy locally. (And I needed one asap, as I'm starting my next project tomorrow.)

[@Oakkerby]

Great review. I love the fact that you cover all of the options in a timely manner! What camera setup do you use for your video? - the lights

[@Aliuos]

this looks like one of the best webcams I've ever seen

[@anotherheretic]

watched your video and decided to get this. i don't regret it! thanks.

[@OliverJonCross]

Thanks and sub. What is the item in the background that keeps looking around, it looks like a webcam with a digital eye?

[@jason111785]

Yeah interested to know as well

[@SoldierKnowsBest]

It's called Jibo. Unfortunately, the company went out of business a couple of years ago, but it still has a decent amount of functionality. There are a couple up on eBay, but here's one of my vids on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4W9dI1vqbygqc0

[@OliverJonCross]

@@SoldierKnowsBest Thank you, shame as it's quite quirky and cool.

[@AmandaWoolsey]

I remember that lens that attached to the phone and I even watched your video on it! What Sony cam are you using now days?

[@SoldierKnowsBest]

That is a throwback for sure 😉. I'm mostly using the Sony ZV-1 and FX9.

[@AhmedNSane]

Pretty dope review + desktop wallpaper - coincidentally, I watched _Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse_ a few days ago. Thanks a bunch! 👊🏻 You've earned a like, a sub, and mad respect for having the mental game to run a YT channel for 13 years, seriously. 👏

[@djbladesparx5221]

I have confirmation form Razer and Streamlabs that if you use Synapse with the Kiyo Pro, no other computer-based application can access it, so I cannot use it with my Streamlabs video encoder for streaming and take advantage of the HDR features. Had to return it.

[@whiskey_throttle]

Is this still the case?

[@illuminaughty-7868]

for anyone still hesitating, its worth more than what you pay for. I was skeptical too when i was planning to buy this because i had razer products before and they break easily, while this webcam excels my expectations of the quality. Its heavy and feels premium. Also the quality is very clear for me even with bright light in my rooml.

[@illuminaughty-7868]

also you can customize the quality to fit your room lighting, turning off auto focus solves alot of problem.

[@alphaop4459]

Just picked this up for Black Friday at $99! Haven’t used yet, but super stoked for it! It definitely seems like it’s a huge step better than my $20 dollar Aukey webcam.

[@JGComments]

Thanks! This was exactly the info I needed. I decided to go with this over some similarly priced Logitech products because my primary use case is work meetings, and they don’t let me install any additional software on my work computer.

[@Roger101Watson]

Great video and it was good to see what options the software has. This is on a crazy offer at Amazon right now so I'm tempted.

I was debating if i should upgrade my Logitech C920 to this cos my current webcam pixelates/has noise when i use in 1080p full screen mode.. this camera seems infinitely better and pops the colours which is good i have 2 sources of lighting i dont exactly have a studio.. but this camera does seem worth the buy if you are planning to upgrade also the comparison between the other Logitech cameras you can see the colours pop much better

[@Fontouraf22]

great content bro....I was thinking about updating my OG Kiyo to this one but I think I'm gonna skip it. Thanks a lot man. keep it up!

[@DanielAnechitoaie]

What's that small "robot" behind you next to the window that keeps looking around?

[@singaporeghostclub]

I hope I will be able to plug and play with this Kiyo Pro that I have just ordered from Amazon. I ordered a Brio 300 from them and my AMD Ryzen pc can't detect the webcam (Boot?), and the Logitune software keeps failing at updating the firmware. Many forums states that the webcam from Logitech is not compatible with AMD Ryzen. I even attempted to contact with Logitech technical support but they told me I have to wait for future updates on their firmware. WTF?

[@corbinwilson3585]

What camera did you switch to? That’s the camera I want

[@gabriellio]

Hey! Do you remember Wii U? Do you still have it and use it? I remember when I watched your review about it in 2012. IT'S JUST AMAZING AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME, HOW TIME FLIES SO FAST. I recently bought Wii U and enjoying playing with it.

[@tz7813]

Great camera, let down by the software not running on Mac. The App recommended here, works, but doesn’t allow you to engage the wide angle function, which is why I bought the camera. Found a fix. If you use Zoom, click the HD tab. Camera then goes to full wide angle. 👍

[@e_j_]

holy hell thank you! I think that still only puts it at it's mid range wide angle, not the full wide angle. This has annoyed me to no end lol, why'd i buy this thing

It's a DSLR. Most DSLR can achieve this quality with the right settings, and lens combo.

[@D3cayingDusk]

Alright. Here's the question. What webcam did you use for this video, other than the obvious cuts to the Kiyo??

[@orvn]

Any idea if the field of view (aperture) can be adjusted on MacOS? Webcam Settings doesn't have this option.

[@kycklingmannen931]

Are you using the built in mic from the Kiyo Pro? I have one and the mic is terrible. I wouldn't expect that, but my cheap 5 year old webcam has a much better mic and I wonder if I need to RMA it.

[@PP-tp5iy]

how to turn the HDR off in we Webcam Settings app?

[@Coral_dude]

Whats the camera used by you to film normally such as the ending shot of this video?

[@JaredSingerExtravaganza]

Seems legit but I run a multi cam podcast and I noticed that you can't use multiple Logitech cams (max of two) and so I was forced to get a third party cam for my overhead cam. Point being is that it's really challenging to get all three cam's to look the same. I'm wondering if this cam would have the same or similar problem. Any chance you could another review with 3 cams in OBS? No worries if that seems dumb... definitely seems like a very niche problem

[@jilliantaylor9853]
