Insta360 - Link 2

I have both the Elgato Facecam Pro and the Insta360 Link 2. I just got the Insta360 as a potential upgrade. My experience is that the Facecam Pro may be capable of a technically sharper image, but I could never get it to look as good. The auto balancing for exposure and color correction was terrible in my experience. After spending hours with it, I was able to get it to look good in one lighting setting. If that lighting changed, it would get horribly washed out and I'd have to do new manual settings. It's reviewed as a great camera, I just had a poor experience with it in practice. The Insta360 is just very slightly not as sharp (and is not capable of 4k60fps if that's important to you). But it's been a much friendlier camera for me. I still played with some settings and have some stuff on manual, but it's a lot more plug and play. The tracking is cool for keeping me centered in frame, and the ability to easily tilt it down is awesome. For instance, if I wanted to have a view of me playing guitar or keyboard, it's really easy to adjust to capture that. Also, unexpected bonus, the Insta360 is smaller and lighter than the Facecam Pro. I am a TERRIBLE leg bouncer. The Facecam had so much mass that it would subtly bounce with my leg, and nobody said anything about it until I moved to the new camera and the bouncing stopped lol. Also worth noting the Insta360 is a good bit cheaper than the Facecam Pro. I personally got good value and quality out of both cameras. Happy to DM you a YouTube link to one of my VODs before and after I made the camera change if it helps

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

Razer Kiyo Ultra Pro if you wanna spend the $$$ Insta360 Link 2 is probably the best webcam for the money and full of software features.

I'm currently using Insta360 Link 2. It's worth the price naman. Quality is great, especially with 4K. As for the low light, it handles well naman. Tho you would need some sort of front lighting pa rin for better quality. To answer some of your questions, 4K is not worth it sa streaming in my opinion. It just increases the sharpness/crispness ng feed pero not needed naman ang 4K. You can do 1080p30 nga eh. I wouldn't recommend a DSLR with cam link, kasi baka mas madali masira yung DSLR mo since laging nakataas yung mirror box nya. I would recommend the cam link if mirrorless yung gamit mo.

I use an instalink 360 and it works really great. I've tried a Logitech Brio and a Lumina 4k also, but I like the instalink the best. https://amzn.to/4fAm268

Insta 360 Link 2 https://www.insta360.com/product/insta360-link2 I used Logitech for years, upgraded to the Insta 360.

OBSbot Meet 2 or the Insta360 Link 2. Both are around the same price, something like $120-130, and both look especially good for webcams. I would probably stay away from getting a mirrorless or dslr unless you plan on using it as something other than a dedicated streaming camera as well. I have an old a5100 that I use, but I bought it for photography first and just happen to use it as a stream camera. Even used on MPB, just the body for an a5100 is still $300 or so. Then you tack on a lens, capture card, etc. it starts to get real pricey to justify buying one exclusively for streaming unless you’re someone that draws in a ton of viewers.

the insta 360 ai/link 2 is dog meat. It’s constant software issues and have to fix things. I returned mine lol

I just upgraded my Logitech Brio to the Insta360 Link 2. Wish I hadn’t TBH I don’t like the tracking features as much as I thought. Camera quality of both is pretty phenomenal though.

It was the Logitech Brio 4k. Want to say one of the earliest versions. The Link 2 has amazing image quality I just don’t need the AI and tracking like I thought I might.

maybe insta 360 link 2? It is cheaper than Insta 360, which I have and it's picture quality is great.

We are using Logitech Brio 4k and Insta360 Link-2. With proper lighting and decent microphones, these two are performing well for us.
