I have the Insta360 Link 2 and it looks great, even better than my old Elgato Facecam Pro that I ended up selling.

I'm happy with my Insta360 Link 2. Does perform best with good lighting but sharpest image I've gotten out of a webcam yet, even above my Elgato Facecam Pro that I ended up selling

I’ve used the Elgato Facecam Pro. It’s OK but it’s more important to have your overall room and lighting setup properly; then use the software to manually set your temperature, exposure, etc. Do not rely on the “automatic” toggles because they will not adjust in realtime if there is any change to ambient light (such as from a window.) So assuming the room is already set up to avoid that scenario, I’d say the camera is pretty good, even though it’s been around a long time.

I just purchased the Elgato Facecam 4K. I replaced the a Logitech 1080p camera that was giving me a lot of problems on Riverside. So far the Facecam has been great.

I bought one a couple of months back because I was unhappy with the way the Logitech brio 4k handled light in my office. Getting much better results with the face cam 4k

Facecam 4K recently dropped from Elgato. Can attach 49mm filters and their software is easy to use.

Bro that Elgato Facecam 4K is kinda sick.

The only thing on the market that is even close is Elgato’s Facecam 4K. The retired the Facecam Pro not long ago so I’m hoping we see a new Pro soon with support for filters like the FC4K has!

there‘s actually a huge difference between 1080p and 4k, even if it‘s just for a small camera. ever since i switched to the facecam 4k, i‘d definitely not switch back. just more details, more you can do with it. i highly recommend the cam. i used a razer kiyo pro before but it‘s night and day what you can do with the facecam
