[@Pythonaddiction]

I use the Logitech Brio Camera often. You can connect it to a stand or tripod. All you have to do is take off the monitor clip from the bottom of the camera. The Logitech camera has been around for some time and the features are well documented. Please consider looking at the products a bit closer when offering a review like this as I use the Brio as an overhead camera without any issues. But thanks for the overall review as this has made me look into the Razor camera as a secondary option.

[@a.xdenn_]

[@camedarus]

The Brio is awful for its price. Been using it for three years now and I would not buy it when there are new, superior, alternatives on the market that didn't exist back when the Brio released.

[@camedarus]

@drinkwater9891 I've used droidcam before and if you don't mind not being able to use your phone during the meeting/recording/presentation/whatever you need the webcam for, then it's a great solution. My four year old phone has vastly superior camera quality to my Brio 4k. You'll probably need to buy some type of stand or mount though.

[@Pythonaddiction]

@@camedarus I wasn't supporting the Brio in my comment as a "great" camera just that if someone's going to review it they should actually look at it and check out its features first lol. I still have a couple of these cameras that I do use but I am moving away from them as you have clearly indicated and I support that there are much better current alternatives available.

[@DBofficial125]

Razer's cam has no business being that good for a webcam, it absolutely blew all the other webcams away for way less than the 1080p pro camera (particularly once you factor in all the kit needed to use it)

[@jumolbureanu2415]

[@Floridaboiash420]

Mines broke on me within a month

[@VDeeO_Buff]

Based on my experience, the Razer webcam certainly didn't blow all other webcams away. Also my experience with Razer kit is that it tends to deteriorate quite quickly and I'd seriously question it's robustness. I tend to move around with kit and robustness matters a lot to me and on that basis I've dismissed Razer as an option and tend to avoid their kit. If I'm going to invest that much in kit I want something that will last so on that basis, Razer just isn't for me. Logitech have a good reputation for a reason but I'm starting to like Elgato's kit more and more, especially their software.

[@nikushim6665]

Other way around, a lot of the other products have no business being priced as high as they are. Elgato for example 50% of the price is just the branding. But in case of Razer, all their s@*t is literally designed to break (planned obsolescence). Sadly alot of companies intentionally design their products to fail after a set time frame (generally just long enough for your average consumer to consider buying another one). Its a way for companies to double dip on sales numbers without having to constantly innovate.

[@titaniumphoenix3856]

your videos from product reviews to OBS tutorials are the best I have seen and the easiest to understand as someone just learning about this stuff - Thank you for your hard work

[@FonixVR_]

I used that eMeet and the Brio.For the Brio, I've had to get one replaced as the first stopped talking to the computer, and now my second is having a blurry feed. eMeet was always nice as a side camera, but if your lighting changes at all, the camera struggled. You can pull off the stand to get it to show the connection, it shows that in the box

[@kemal_ozturk]

The ZV-E 10 had a lot of AI processing enabled and didn't look very nice. Tweaking with it's settings would actually show how powerful it is. I have the a6000 and got a cheap $20 capture card and it looks amazing, similar to what he showed in the video.

[@johnlocke3481]

exactly

[@The_Chad_]

This was a great video. Probably the best I've seen on the subject, but reading through the comments, I feel the need to give my 2 cents. I have the Kijo Pro and Facecam Pro, along with a ton of other webcams, a mirrorless, a DSLR, and a camcorder that I've used for streaming. I too was impressed with the Kijo out of the box. Razer is really good about having their products configured very well from the factory. It doesn't hold a candle to the Facecam once it's fully dialed in though. That's where the Facecam's real magic lies. With the exposure, iso, white-balance, focus, etc all set manually, I would choose the Facecam Pro over the Kijo Pro almost always, at least for my use cases. And it does matter exactly how you'll be using them, your setting, and how technical you want to get in setting them up. The one area where the Facecam is arguably inferior to the Kijo is the saturation of background lighting in extreme situations. It tends to over saturate a bit, but only when I have bright colored lights in the background and only with certain colors. When the background is a bit dimmer or less colorful, it looks more true to life. And honestly, I kind of like how it looks over saturated. It's more how I wish my lighting looked. I use a green screen most of the time now though, so background lighting isn't a concern at all. For this purpose, I think my Facecam Pro is my best looking camera I have hands down. It looks better than my "real cameras" when all I have to do is record my face. That 4k level of detail is really insane. It has a very wide FoV, so I use it cropped in a lot and it still looks fantastic.

[@borisfarber8451]

What is the best QUALITY webcam for a small class with One whiteboard to explain equations? There is no limit for budget-only top quality criterion.

[@The_Chad_]

@@borisfarber8451 If there is no limit on budget, and I mean no limit, a Sony ZV-1 oe even ZV-E1 with a Camlink would be best, but that is way more pricey and a bit more complicated than a plug n play webcam. Still not overly complicated though. If you are focused on the whiteboard only and maybe a hand, I may give a different recommendation than if you are going to be walking around in the shots. If you are going to be walking around, the Insta360 would probably suit you well. If you are going to only have the camera focused on something static like the whiteboard and can fix the focus to a single point, my recommendation would have to be the Facecam Pro. It is 4K60 and has a ton of manual adjustments you can make to really dial everything in perfectly. But the non Pro Facecam and the Razer Kiyo Pro 4k will also look quite good as well. I think the Facecam Pro will handle contrast with the whiteboard the best with a bit of manual adjustments though.

[@YoutuberMaskarado]

But for a 1080p webcam, do you think Razer Kiyo Pro is the best one? Or the elgato facecam 1080p?

[@The_Chad_]

@@KZbinrMaskarado I think the best way to answer this is to give two scenarios: if you just want to plug it in and get the best picture- The Kiyo. If you are willing to go into the camera software and manually adjust the settings- Facecam, since the level of granular control is unmatched. I will also expand on this, if what you're recording stays relatively the same, like the same room, same lighting, same distance, stuff like that, then the Facecam will be great once you get the settings set up once. If you are recording more dynamic stuff like using it in different rooms or with different colors and brightness of white light, or if you are moving more than like 4ft difference in distance, the Kiyo is probably better since I think the auto settings are a bit better.

[@FinchIsFubar]

I had the Logitech c270 for a LONG time and over all I was really happy with it. I didn't care for something like super high end at the time but it was able to look great for the price. I still think it holds up now for someone who is starting out and can upgrade later down the road.

[@AlsoIUseArch]

You can pull the stand off the brio. There's a standard mounting hole on the bottom

[@ZachTheOne]

The Brio does have a screw mount, the stock mount is pressure fit into the threaded hole. You have to pop off the mount to access the threads.

[@minimalischminimalisxh9668]

Does have yeah, but it's not movable..

[@GoingFullNerd]

The brio can be attached to a tripod just pop off the monitor mount (it doesn't unscrew just pull it)

[@ERA_Productions]

The logitech brio can be connected to a tripod. You just have to unscrew the monitor piece off of it.

[@MrMunkyMeat]

I am literally staring at mine on a clamp arm with the 1/4 thread. I am so not sure what to make of this.

[@xanthais141]

Do NOT try and unscrew the monitor mount on the BRIO. Pull it straight out. You'll see why when you do. There's two grooves on the plug that fit into two slots in the screw threads.

My Razer Kiyo Pro has a lot of grain and noise in the image. I have 3 lights on me so I think I have enough light. I've updated to the latest firmware and tried adjusting all the settings but any tips to improve this or how much light do I actually need? Also I took the one I had back to the store and exchanged it for another with the same issue so it must be something I'm doing.

[@YoutuberMaskarado]

did you fix it?

[@Arrownawt]

@@KZbinrMaskarado no, I suspect it’s just I don’t have my overhead light on in the room because it’s too bright and blows out the image. With the light off there’s not enough room light in the frame even though I’m well lit. I exchanged the camera for another the same and same issue with grain and noise. If there’s a fix I don’t know it.

[@BlueBlazeGX]

DO NOT UPDATE THE KIYO PRO'S FIRMWARE. Even to this day it still has issues. I got that webcam cuz I was so impressed by it, right after upgrading the firmware, the image became very noisy and grainy. I've done everything in my power to remove, but no success. If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to listen cuz I loved how this looked, especially for the 70 dollar price on sale...

[@edima]

the brio actually looked like the best quality on a webcam before you go full on DSLR. i agree with you thought the razr is proabably the best bang for your buck in terms of price.

[@timvandijknl]

If you twist the desktop clamp on the brio 90 degrees, it pops off and exposes the 1/4" tripod screw.

First helpful video I've seen. Thanks dude. Really appreciate ya

[@JonathanWillis]

The video has focused on image quality, but what about setup. I know getting a A6000, or ZV-E10 will require something like Camlink 4k to use as a webcam, but do they work out the box, reliability as a webcam. I've got a Sony A7R4 camera with 24-70mm f2.8, I could use as I don't get time to do photography like I used to, but curious if that setup vs using a Brio 4k i already have is worth the hassle.

[@vanesravogt8158]

The Brio 4K Stream Edition can also be put on a camera stand. Unfortunately, I didn't find this out until very late, but you can (it's best to watch a KZbin tutorial on this) remove the stand that is mounted on the camera to attach it to a laptop or monitor. Exactly where the (I'll call it "traced square") is, the screw connection that you need to screw on a camera stand will appear. I tried it that way, but unfortunately my camera was already broken because I tried a thousand different ways to somehow set the thing up without a mount and it got damaged in the process. The charging socket (yes, I know it's not a charging socket, but that's where you plug the plug in) broke. Then I wanted to repair it and only saw in a tutorial that this screw connection for the camera holder actually exists - very annoying. I haven't seen an unboxing video explaining this yet because it feels a bit risky to take the thing off. At least it feels that way. When you do it, you'll understand what I mean.

[@AnthonyBaroza]

3:42 incorrect, the Logitech brio can be used with a tripod. The screw hole is under the foldable base. It pops off.

[@johnnypezona9513]

Hi there! I have a question! I'll buy myself a PS5 in the next few weeks for recording gameplay videos for KZbin. I will use it on a LG C3 OLED 4K TV that is mounted on the wall. I have a Sony ZV-1 Mark 2 4K camera that I will use it to record my face while commenting what I play. Is there any possibility that I can record my face in 4K with the camera in OBS even If my PC monitor is only 1080p? I want that because I also have a Røde NT USB Mini mic which is really good and powerful compared to what the camera has. So I would like to have the video from the camera and the voice from the external USB-C mic. Do you have any idea on how to do that? If I record myself with just the camera it will also pick up the audio in the background with the gameplay from the PS5..even if I have an external Sony mic for it (that because I'll not be using headphones for the PS5). :)) Any idea on how to record my face in 4K and have the audio in the recording from the powerful external mic? 4K capture card, maybe? Thanks! :))

the Razer and the Brio are the best. I like the Brio better in my opinion. Its crazy how the Razer beat the elgato pro cam. I didnt know about that razer webcam. The iPhone trick is dope too. Since I stream using my MacBook, my phone just connects on its own I haven't used the phone because I use the phone to monitor the stream but I might have to try the phone soon, when I start streaming my PlayStation gameplay.
