I think I'll just save go a dslr if I'm going to do all that work. :) But I still think its a good option.

Blessup W4G...During the pandemic ive hunted and found the Brio 4k apple version what was left... it works on my PC perfectly, but got put back in the box til a few days ago when I came across it and like how did not use this.... got a boom stand and lights...so I guess its time to stream LIVE with my face lol! this video helped a lot in 2023

[@Wild4]

Heck ya buddy - Get that stream a-rolling and glad the video could still help in 2023. Let me when you stream and I will see if I can stop by and support for a few 🔥

Great video, great tips for buying the Logitech BRIO. I will buy one because I think your review is the best that I was looking for to get convinced.

thanks for the information. Looks like for streamers that move around needs adjustments but for business meetings where usually you video call colleagues, customers should meet or exceed the expectations.

[@Wild4]

[@DoubleUDude]

Got it as my very first stream cam last year (and really for a nice price, like 90 €) and I'm quite content with it. It works also pretty good for me with everything on auto that offers that option though (white balance, focus, etc.). I did not have the need to change that so far. Thanks for the advice though. Will check that out.

[@Wild4]

Awesome Grab, Glad to help you out where I can :)

[@TopFuelMechanic]

I've got the brio, and with some adjustments in obs settings, its a solid camera. Got an Elgato ring light for it and the quality is very good.

[@usr-coffee]

your exposure will adjust both shutter speed and exposure so this affect the frame rate while the gain setting adjusts the iso on the camera

[@mikegonzalez2088]

Omg thank u i was thinking about the brio but the reviews are pretty old so i avoided it thanks for the vid keep up the good work

[@eltoro969]

The Brio is actually one of the best on the marked for livestreams still in 2020 so I bought one. I almost bought a GoPro but the 7 and 8 are so expensive and you need extra equipment to get good audio quality. The Brio just needs a cheap spot and a streaming program like OBS Studio and you`re good to go via your laptop or pad.

[@odysseytecharts8144]

[@Wild4]

Hell ya buddy - Go for it :)

[@MichaelW.1980]

The exposure is what it’s name suggests. It controls the time the sensor uses to pick up light. If it’s exposing too long, you will end up with parts of the e posure for frame in one or even multiple following frames. Because of this, you have parts of the exposure for one frame in the following frame(s) which is visible as the ghosting-/smearing-effect you were talking about. If the footage is too dark with the brightest exposure setting, that doesn’t have smearing or ghosting, you have only two possibilities to brighten up the image. You either set a higher gain value - but this makes the noise of the image more visible - or you need more light. There is no other way to prevent that ghosting or smearing.

[@markhoitinga]

My monitor bezel is too small for it of my Dell U2027Q. This is why I return the webcam. Better to review this issue the next time too! What mount you have? 🙏

You have helped me get to almost 250 followers in 2 months all your tips really do help.

[@LightsCameraJake]

Hey Wild, yeah the Logitech C920 has the same exposure issues, where if you bring up the exposure to much, frames drop really bad. Its been an on going issue for many many years with Logitech brand webcams.

[@Wild4]

Interesting, I dont think I have had that issue on my C920. I will have to check now :)

[@LightsCameraJake]

@@Wild4 Let me know what you find out. I know my C920 has that issue and a couple of the streamers I follow.

[@maple_fields]

So what's happening with the footage becoming unwatchable when turning up the exposure isn't a computation problem. It's bumping down the shutter speed, which brightens the image, but also means that it's taking longer to take each picture, or frame. At 60 fps, your shutter speed should be around 1/120th of a second, in order to look natural. However, relatively speaking, that's pretty high, so your image is going to be reasonably dark. You can go down to around 1/60th of a second without it looking too bad, but once it starts dropping bellow that, which it is, you'll start to see that smeary, unwatchable look that you're getting. This is because the camera has to take 60 pictures per second to hit that 60 fps goal, but it takes it longer than 1/60th of a second to record those frames, so it literally can't capture 60 fps. Also, motion just gets blurrier as you lower your shutter speed. Longer shutter speeds (up to 10 seconds) are how people achieve the light painting effect in pictures, where they're able to write something out with a flashlight. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[@Wild4]

Thanks for the tips. Thanks for watching!

[@charlie1872]

I find the Brio disappointing and unreliable.I run the Brio and 920 through my MacBookPro and often, like this morning it froze and often drops off. Any ideas?

[@Wild4]

Have you tried just the brio to see if it has that issuue? just guessing here from experience - But I assume its your motherboard having an issues detecting the differences between the 2 Logitech cameras ( a common if you look it up ). There are work around you can find on google.

[@Wild4]

Glad I could help out

[@TomDutta]

Good info. Although the host talks like a robot not conversational.

9:10 neither lag or dropped frame, you simply made your shutter time longer - adjust the gain instead of the shutter time, keeping the shutter at around 1/120

[@Wild4]

That would be nice expect when you use it with streaming with programs like OBS and SLOBs you dont have control of the SS and adjusting gain does nothing but add artifacts into your video feed.

Wild4Games you do have control, just not from within OBS. And gain an SS needs to be adjusted in balance as with any other camera, ofcourse

[@walexeol]

I’m interested in this camera. I currently use Logitech C922. I tried Elgato FaceCam but it keeps freezing and won’t restart unless I turn my Laptop off-so it’s pretty useless to me because I can’t stream or record with the Elgato FaceCam-I’ve tried several things but still it won’t work so maybe this Logitech upgrade will be a solution

I have a question ,iwanna buy this cam but if i hate one thing is ifi move the screen turns white,i want a stable color. Is any option fo this cam to turn off so if i move the light will colors not change?

Sounds like you may need to turn Auto White Balance off and Low Light off in property settings. Hope this helps!

How were you able to adjust the exposure? Out of the box the exposure is way too bright , and there's no exposure setting that I saw in logi capture or logitech camera settings..I can adjust brightness and contrast but that doesn't help.

Hi, I can't find the exposure too.... did you solved it ?

[@alexandramartin1685]

Heber Mantovani yes I downloaded Logitech G Hub and use that to adjust the settings

[@HeberMantovani]

Solved =D, you need to install Logitech G Hub Software. In there it's possible deactive auto exposure.

[@EganFilm]

I hate the Brio. I use it for my Streamloots cam, but I was never happy with the color. Splurged you’re to a Canon SL2 and I love having full image control but it cost 3 times as much.

No web cam can compete with a bigger sensor DSLR. The SL2 is a great camera. Have one myself

[@RCJH2022]

How nice would it be if it were only $150??? at $266 wondering if it isnt better to just jump to a used DSLR.

[@Wild4]

I am sure it will go back to 150 when this whole virus thing is under Control..... I would say its still a value you at $250 and down.... if its above that, worth saving up for a new DSLR or Used One.

[@Ollowayn]

Hey do you have any advice on how to get the cam into a square output? I only have this rectangular shape in obs where as before with the c920 I always got the square image. Ty!

[@odysseytecharts8144]

I plan to start taking video myself doing high detail drawings from an overhead perspective. These will basically be time lapse. Due to the detail I need to convey, 4k will be the only option. I am also considering a GoPro 8. Do you think either of these would work well? Do you know of any tripod that can support a camera that would hang 3 feet from the stand? Thanks!

[@Wild4]

The brio will work fine for art but I would maybe recommend paying up for a DSLR/Mirrorless to get all the fine details/colors of your art. The GP8 is great but it will be too wide of an angle for art. I know its pricey, but I would recommend the M50 ( geni.us/CanonM50Camera ) if you wanna do high quality YT art. Or the Canon M200 ( geni.us/CanonM200Camera ) if you are more into streaming art. But both are great starter Cams for art. Hope that helps

[@odysseytecharts8144]

That totally helps! Since I am experimenting with this idea, the dslr option is a bit out of my budget, but sounds like good upgrade path. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@ArcaneAgent]

The reason it starts to drop frames when it goes brighter, is because of the way Lenses work. When you lower your FPS(or Shutter Speed) it allows more light in. So that's how they are compensating for more light, instead of giving you a larger Sensor, or a 1.8 aperature lens.

[@Wild4]

Understood - but when you set your FPS to a certain frame rate (24,30,60) that shouldn't happen - SO i dont understand of it overrides that function

[@ScottGomersall]

Wild your videos are fantastic and for a small streamer starting out they make great references especially as you make them easy to understand. I used to run my own accounting company but suffered a Subrachnoid Haemorrhage in October 2013 and I was lucky to still be alive today. Since my accident I've really got into the streaming of a very well none game that I'm not a competitive player as I don't have the fastest responses but I prefer the other side to the game STW and have just started a few streams. I've saved a but since my accident and have around £1.5 - £2k to spend on a startup PC with streaming capabilities. If this is not sufficient then please advise what sum I should be looking to save to start up a stream as I enjoy it so much and have quite a good following on my YT channel as I'm spreading the message that you can recover from a brain injury even if if is a struggle at times. I know you must get hundreds of requests like this but your positive energy and outlook is so reminiscent of former self I'm gradually getting it back with the streaming and also playing the games is improving my cognitive function. Please let me know if you'd be interested in a chat my Discord is ScottyGum0605 thank you in anticipation and keep up the great work buddy, Scott

Hi. I´m currently using the Brio with my Mac Mini late 2014. It works fine, after handling the settings a bit (white balance, etc.). Great on Skype, for instance. Good image quality, and smooth video. But I found some issues when using the Brio on flash-based sites, such as videochat rooms. Even though the sites are supposed to be limited to 640p video (which is far below the Brio´s specs), the video is terribly laggy. Is there an explanation for that? I use the regular cable supplied by Logitech (USB-C to USB 3.0). Would things be better if, instead, I connect an Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor to the back side of the Brio, and then, a 2m-long Thunderbolt 2 cable to the Thunderbolt 2 port on the back side of the Mac Mini, and take it to the other end of the Apple Thunderbolt adaptor? Regards, and thanks for the review.

[@Wild4]

It might not be your brio. It might be how that video site encodes video

[@jiiva.]

I have run into the same issue with my camera quality on OBS for two years (I have a logitech brio). I have good internet (1000 up and down) and a very high spec pc. Though when i stream certain games (rocket league for example) my camera quality will become very grainy. I have auto optimized my settings on OBS, yet this issue still occurs. I can't figure out the cause at all, and its been very demotivating. Any solutions?

OBS has a Configuration Wizard and says also this PC should run a 1080p stream set the setting but still legy so one has to degrade to 960p or 720p , this is sad. as the new 1080p cam just cam out, and you said 4k is not a stream 1080p and less as of now
