Insta360 - Link 2C Pro

buy the insta360 link 2c and some decent lighting and you have top notch quality

i would take the link 2c (i use it) and buy some decent lighting. Lighting is so important u can use the cheapest wiht good lighting and it will look better then a 100 dollar one with bad lighting

Insta360 Link 2C. Moved away from Logitech C920 as I wanted similar quality to my MacBook Pro camera.

First, if it’s a corporate laptop find out what Webcamera software is permitted to install, that may make the choice for you. Generally speaking the microphones in webcams are fairly bad. There are a few that work better than others, you’d have to do some trial and error to see what works for you and your environment. That said, I recently replaced my Lumina 4k webcam with an Insta360 Link 2c and have been really impressed with it. The image quality, build quality, AI enhancement, and easy to use software. The microphone is above average too. With any webcam, having decent lighting is going to help a lot. Also consider placement of the webcam. Setting the webcam right on top of your monitor is the general default, unless you have a very tiny monitor or sit up really high, it’s not an optimal or flattering place. I place my webcam almost in the center of my screen, where I am looking directly into the camera and making eye contact with the people I am on the video call with. I’ve heard good things about Ozbot web cameras. The Razer ones are supposed to have a really good camera sensor, but their software makes them a no go for me. The Anker webcams I’ve also heard good things about, but evidently they really need a bright lighting setup. When the question about webcams or other peripherals comes up, the answer is almost never Logitech.

The insta360 link2C is the best sub £100 camera I’ve ever used

The insta3602c does not cost much more, but I am glad I bought it.

Insta360 Link 2c or the OBSbot. Both output up to 4k30 which is fine for most YT videos. I will say though, quality audio is more important than quality video. Just because you have a Blue Yeti and a 4k webcam doesn’t mean people will stick around for your content if the video looks great but the audio is shit.

I have a mirrorless, but that’s only because I also do photography as a hobby. Something like an OBSbot or Link 2c would look just fine with proper lighting. If you wanted to go a step up, the Kiyo Pro 4k or Elgato Facecam pro have bigger sensors. But for a mirrorless camera, plus the lens, you’re talking close to $800. In worse lighting, a mirrorless or DLSR with a good lens will objectively look better because the sensor is bigger which allows it to capture more light. But unless you’re making money from streaming, a decent 4k webcam with good lighting is just fine. Way too many people put way too much stock into their camera. Focus on your audio and lighting first. Once you have those squared away, then think about getting a mirrorless camera and lens. But don’t let anyone tell you that you need to get one just to have good video.

Insta360 Link 2c. Excellent webcam in low light.

I recently got one for a really good deal on Amazon prime day, called Link 2C. It's a really good webcam for everything. As for the web cam tracking, I don't have an iPhone but I agree with the other redditors that the webcam can be a higher drain on your CPU, and it's dependent on your software. I use Linux and man is it difficult to find a good face tracking software. I use openseeface lol

Hi, I have almost two years the Insta360 for homeoffice, online teaching and to record some Insta and promotional videos (Google Hangouts, Zoom, Teams) with a Mac Book Pro M1 Pro and a Mac Book Pro M4 Pro: 1. No lag 2. Not needed (tested with Zoom and Teams) 3. Yes, 100% recognition with all 4. There are a couple of settings (auto gestures) I cannot save by default on the Insta app and really annoys me because when I rise my arms or other gestures, I don't want to do nothing. To me is currently the only less good issue. All the other settings for Zoom/Teams, if they are setting at that app level, no issues. 5. It's all time connected to a 32' Dell Ultrasharp U3223qe integrated dock and I hadn't any issue.

The c920 is a old and well loved webcam with good performance and its what a ton of people use so that's what they recommend. That being said it is a model from 2012 and has kind of been surpassed in features by other models. There are various other random brand webcams on Amazon but just because they have the specs they might not actually work better, its hit and miss with those. More modern recommendations for webcams are the Obsbot Meet SE or Meet 2 4K and Insta360 2C all of which have pretty good quality and features. Otherwise Elgato also has their own webcams that are nice, Logitech has the Streamcam, Razer has their own models etc but a lot of folks like the Obsbot and Insta360 models.
