Razer Kiyo Pro - USB Streaming Camera with High-Performance Light Sensor and Stand (Webcam, Full HD Video 1080P, 60 FPS, HDR, Wide-Angle Lens, Open Broadcaster Software, Xsplit) Black

I was a little unsure about the Kiyo Ultra from reading reviews, some quoting needing an account login to use the camera interface, but when I got it, it worked perfectly as a plug-and-play camera straight in OBS, which is what I will be using 99% of the time anyway, and for the slightly more fine control of the Razer interface software, no login was required.It's not goin to be my go-to camera for web chatting since the sound quality leaves something to be desired (I might use it as a camera but get the sound with something else), but for video and still image quality, it's almost as good as the Panasonic FZ1000 it replaces in my home setup, but with the added convenience of being smaller (thus also fitting on a simple gooseneck mount), and being a webcam I can simply just plug into my computer without a capture card.And it's no wonder that it is, considering its 1"/1.2 sensor is only a tiny bit smaller than the 1" sensor of the FZ1000, but with the added advantage of a fixed focal length lens.So, the two only real caveats I have for this camera, which may or may not be important to you: the built-in microphone isn't great, and autofocus isn't anything to brag about either. I always use manual focus when recording with webcams as no webcams I've used are great in that department, but it is more noticeable with the longer focus throw and fuzzier out-of-focus area of the large-sensor Kiyo Ultra.

This review is for Mac users only. I do not know if the issues I have replicate on Windows based machines.Unlike windows based machines, there are no drivers or apps for a mac to adjust settings like FPS. I took my chances as the unit has excellent reviews:1. Pro's- Solid unit, great quality feel- Excellent image and colour balancing - a step up from standard MacBook Pro webcam, except as below :-(- Decent auto focus2. Cons (for Mac users)- No software or apps for Mac OSX to upgrade firmware or adjust settings on camera- Possibly due to no app, image is fuzzy on straight lines, like a set of drawers or dark eyeglass rims.See attached photo, zoomed in. Extremely irritating to have fuzzy lines around eyeglass rims and furniture items with straight lines, like drawers. This effect is less pronounced on Zoom and FaceTime but truly awful on Teams (image shown) which is what I use for work 90% of the time.Unfortunately had to return as a result.

I was drawn to this thanks to the 1/4 inch screw in the base of the camera head, allowing a neat and flexibile mounting option with tripods and clamps etc. Having the little mount that rests on top of the monitor and obscures a small amount of screen annoys me - my monitor has a very narrow bezel.You can tell it's quality when you open it up - fancy packaging (think Apple but lime green), heavy metal body, quality thick braided cables. And it's comically huge on anything below a 27" monitor.I decided to return in the end for a couple of reasons. Image was sharp and accurate. But be careful what you wish for - it made me look my age. It didn't deal well with two windows behind me - face was not bright enough. Bundled software (Razer Synapse) allows tweaking but didn't seem particularly stable and caused me problems on a work machine where permissions etc are locked behind administrator rights. May not be the fault of the camera, but fails the plug and play test which my 20 quid Logitech passed with flying colours. That same Logitech deals with the brightness issue perfectly well also.Overall, probably the right choice for content creators, but for getting to meetings it might just add additional hassle - and a further layer of software for MS Teams to get confused about.

The camera quality is excellent quality, my partner has gotten into streaming and this camera does the job extremely well. Looks like an entire professional setup when you have your video on, the ringlight is very bright and does a great job in conjunction with the camera to give a bright video quality.Surprisingly this also has a mic built in, it's not the highest quality but it also does the job. Overall an excellent investment if you spend alot of time on video.
