Top 5 BEST Webcams of 2022! 

Is the fact that the Facecam Pro doesn't have a mic really a negative? I think it's a positive. More room for Elgato to focus on image quality and other features instead of having a crappy mic included for no one to use.

Another great video. Love the comparisons! Keep the videos coming.

I was waiting for this!!!

very good thorough video ! thank you sir.

I thought the Elgato actually looked slightly better, and was a lot smoother with capturing your movements. Would be nice if they release a v2 of the non-Pro. A good quality 1080p would do just fine for my use, but the fixed focus on the current non-Pro model is a deal breaker. Price on the Pro, and lack of availability, is a deal breaker on the Pro.

The Elgato Facecam Pro is clearly designed for gaming livestreamers. This is the reason behind the 60fps option. Most gaming livestreamers output at 1080p with 60fps which also means 4k quality of a camera exported at 1080p. Just fantastic. Until now to get that quality, you had to buy a DSLR camera and you had to pay way more than $300.

This was the video I needed! Thank you! Thoughts on an iPhone using Camo Studio vs the Insta360?

3rd was also hoping for tech under 50$ love watching those vids

To me it's a close call between the elgato and the insta360. My brain tells me that the elgato should be better because it is bigger, but the insta360 is simply remarkable for its size and appears to break the laws of physics to punch above its size class, if you will.

gonna pick up the obsbot meet 4k soon.... i'm in for an upgrade, and the elgato is too expensive... might as well pick up a used mirrorless camera for 100 bucks more... and the insta360 field of view is too small for what i use... it's a shame it doesn't come as a static camera with at least 95 degree FOV... i'm going to replace an anker c300, and the 105 FOV is amazing, but image quality is not there... so obsbot meet it is... thanks...

The Ankerwork B600 is tailored to conference calls. The noise cancelling is excellent. The built in speakers and mic (with mute) allowed me to remove my usb speakerphone from my desk. Using the 65 degree FOV reduces the amount of background that the camera is "tempted" to focus on. The 2k video limitation is not an issue, when your actual outgoing video is MUCH less, in Teams, Zoom etc. Definitely not the best camera for RU-vid videos, but great for web meetings.

Hmm... I was just in the market for some for my discord streams. Lets watch

Looking at the Insta360 it has a jumpy/jerky kind of look to it as opposed to the Facecam Pro. The Facecam Pro just looks clearer and not jerky at all. Maybe that's the 60 fps as opposed to the 30fps. I definitely know which one I'd lean towards and it isn't the Insta360. The gimble is cool and all but I'm still not feeling it.

Dang Frank, take a break from streaming and fix that recessed light!! lol

24:00 Frank "But your not losing detail in me" Also Frank : ⚫👄 ⚫

If I used a webcam more, maybe I'd upgrade from my C920. But It's just been the solid standard for years

Damn that’s crazy

I get mentioning the microphones, but maybe a little too much emphasis on them. In other words, I do not think that because the Insta360 has a mic and the Elgato doesn't is a reason for it being a better webcam. The mics on them are borderline useful and sound like crap. I bet most people are using external mics anyway. Overall fantastic video, love your content!

I prefer the 60 frames since it makes it look smoother on the elgato pro

Have you reviewed the anker powerconf c200 yet ?

I feel the vid is 0.03% slower Performance patch needed?

The insta360 is nice as far as image quality is concerned, but that drop to 30fps is way too noticeable.

The Insta360 Link has no competition.

Honestly curious at what point it is more worth it to use your phone camera as a webcam versus purchasing a $300 webcam. Other than the Insta360 (which looks incredible) I'd think you'd get comparible quality from any recent mobile device rear facing camera.

Make a review on glorious pro series one mouse

Hmm not a very big step up at all from the last generation of cams, the top 3 being the facecam 1, Logitech Brio, or Logitech Streamcam. In fact, I'd say those three, and the facecam 2 are better than the remaining 4. It's so weird how webcam tech seems to lag behind everything else. They should be phone quality by now, or phones should allow camera data transfer through USB. Is it THAT hard to integrate good picture through USB? I guess it must be. Nice video in any case.

I want one

Omg. Its really webcams

Is it just me or is the insta link footage intermittently a tiny bit laggy?

Sony a5100 and a Sigma 30mm is amazing at less than $350 total.

Insta360 is bonkers!

next do top 5 mics of 2022

Do any of these have windows hello?

How about Zoom cameras ?

#2 looks better visually then #1

why is the insta360 4fps?

OBSBOT meet 4K is so close to the insta 360 for half the price !

noice

insta 360 is the only one who not appears to be out of focus

I think you recorded on 24fps on the Insta 360 link. If you updated the firmware you could have recorded 4K30fps without Audiosync issues

insta360 is king

Can you do a video for just headphones

Insta360 and it's not even close

Too bad no chat apps support 4K. Unless it's an enterprise system and then usually you're not buying a webcam like this

lol wtf that first one is not a webcam. That is a soundbar. Oh damn the second one is a flash drive!

You call that low light? And a webcam focusing on the essentials, rather than including features we know will be crap, is a negative? I like the idea of the gimbal, sure, but it is a gimmick, and is hardly important, if the camera itself, doesn't perform, say in an actual low light situation, with no fancy studio lighting, in the middle of the night, etc. No, while I'm still on the lookout for a webcam with a "large" sensor, but not high resolution, hoping to get some actual dynamic range, among other thing, for low light situations, which in my case, will be the norm, the elgato is still much more interesting, than the other one, whatever it's name, which I seriously haven't got a clue what is. That is the kind of impact it had on me.

WHERE IS THE DELL 4K!?

i have brio 4k! its oes a job correctly

Elgato Facecam Pro is number 1 for me , with insta360 you can see how the cam flickering in mean the low frames , you can see it

I didn't like the Insta360 Link it looks like 24fps :/

Best webcams for $75 and under ?

Where is logitech in this list? 😅

insta 360 has MAJOR FREEZING issues and you also didnt compare the Razor Kiyo Ultra which i think has the best 4k 30 quality but elgato allowing the 4k 60 is the perfect twitch streaming cam if you can afford it.

The elgato should probably be number 1. That 60fps really adds to image quality. Seeing a 4k video that stutters because it can't keep up is pretty jarring. So the fact that it's the only one with the combo, along with it tying into the rest of the elgato suite is a huge win.

OBSBOT looked and sounded better than Elgato

See how it sounds :D?

wheres under 50 december

c920 - c922 still thebest overall

😁

am i the only think insta360 is kinda choppy?

12th

I guess you should have mentioned earlier you were using the webcam's mic. Took me a bit to realize right before you mentioned it. Thought my video quality was on 480p or something.

Insta 360 extremely choppy. That absolutely kills it. Elgato is significantly better.

stopping you right there at 45secsonds didn't anker just get exposed for all that privacy stuff like 5 days ago

the Lumina audio quality is absolute TRASH. i cant believe they okayed this for final release. its so bad i had to skip that section of your vid! Regarding the Insta360: I must warn you, i have the Insta360 and its physical temperature runs incredibly HOT! even when entirely turned off. simply leaving it plugged in it STAYS hot. I also do not like its mic quality, its not awful but it sounds similar to a mid quality $100 mic. You dont really need HDR given it's great visual clarity and quality but if you must tic that box then no, its not HDR 'technically'. The software license also REQUIRES that you share all its software, cam and mic data with China, it has a section stating you're not allowed to "make china look bad" or do anything "immoral" so if that is a concern now you know. It does a great job with its gimbal and doing face or body tracking. even though its a physical gimbal it is not laggy, its fast and should be good for walking around your room at a normal pace. Obviously it can glitch out if you confuse the software with a mirror, so cover or move any mirrors. The software functionality is easy to learn and it does work as intended without problems. The hand gesture controls dont always work, but it does warn you to not overlap your hand with the rest of your body so it can track that gesture more easily, even still it doesnt work most of the time. However, once activated the tracking, zoom & and 'jump to whiteboard placement' work well; you may prefer to use the software controls or the touch controls on the side of the device itself. I would recommend the Auto setting when suitable as it doesnt glitch out like the hand gestures. The insta360 looks small but its actually tiny, which is convenient. The extra cost for the tripod is worth it, it fits snugly and does not wiggle, highly recommended instead of trying to later find something else that pairs well. Overall a great product but crazy expensive for a webcam.

The insta 360 video and audio are delayed with each other. that's super annoying

yeah not giving anker any camera in my house ever.

first?

Most cameras look so bad... really.. im using a "old" cellphone and looking at this video its a bit cringe the quality. i didnt watch the prices but im afraid really the #1 its that camera?

i mean tf fam the insta360 stuff lagged sooo bad and the vid quality wasnt that great..🙃

This dude named the best webcam the insta360, which was visibly lagging. Wtf. Facecam Pro hands down the best plug and play facecam that there has ever been.

insta360 link is the best cam ive ever seen 👀

cmon bro y u scam bro

The budget for this video is 100 - 200$. LMAO

HIkVisiom is also cheap but works really well cheaper than buying Logitech

i use the insta link and its incredible. never stutters and has a super easy time tracking me buuut if you move fast at all it wont track you very well
