Razer - Kiyo Pro

Viewers seem to be split on webcam or not. Some say it’s a must have for them and others say they want game play not the streamer. I chose to go with a webcam because I’m streaming mainly horror and the uncontrollable reactions seem to get good feedback in my stream. I’m using the Razer kylo pro, I’ve had no issues with it. It was around £100 but I’ve had to buy a ring light because it doesn’t have one built in like some others.

I have one of these. The problem is there’s no razer software to configure it on the mac. So I can’t configure the video like I can in Windows.

Razer Kiyo Pro for $100 or Ultra for $300. These are the best webcams for suboptimal lighting and in general are better than others in their price range.

if you can find a deal on one, razer kiyo pro or razer kiyo pro ultra. plug and play, works super well with OBS. Razer software can be annoying but you can uninstall that if you want.

> Hey do you guys have any idea which cam is good for streaming? Depends on what you're streaming. If you're just putting your face in a little square down in the bottom of the screen, pretty much any camera will do. > But in the elgato pro i look very very ill. My face is red like a tomate. The color fastness seems to be very bad This should be something that should be adjustable in the camera settings. But if you have tried to adjust the color settings in the camera and are sure that it's a fault in the hardware and not the settings... Logitec c920s Pro HD is pretty much a go-to in mid-range webcams. Though if you want something with a bit more resolution, a Razer Kiyo Pro will more than do the job. Pretty much sure both of those are under 200$USD. The C920s is under 100$. I use both in my streaming setup and they both work just great.

Neither one of those are 4k cameras. The Kiyo is the better of the two and it'll do 1080p@60fps, but I have to lower it to 24fps as my computer won't drive it. If you're looking for a 4k camera, you're probably going to spend more than 200$ and hopefully have a computer that can drive it.

I have a razer kiyo pro with nvidia broadcast. it works pretty well and the price is fair.

I would suggest a lighting, I have razer kiyo pro its around 150$, and lighting made a massive difference in quality. Go for something that has 1080p 60fps capability, and you good. As for lighting just search for streaming lights on amazon and a pack of 2 lights is about 50ish bucks

Razer Kiyo Pro works great via the usb c to usb a cable straight into the dock of the Nintendo Switch 2

I use razer kiyo pro, with decent lighting it’s a great cam! It has auto focus and you can adjust its settings like brightness, contrast, saturation, white balance, zoom etc. Lighting is imperative for a webcam to reach its proper potential though so make sure you have budget for that as well!

I use the Razer Kiyo pro, I looked on Facebook marketplace for a secondhand webcam rather than spend money on a brand new one with bells and whistles and honestly I’d recommend when starting out to try find secondhand stuff. I used the money i saved on some decent lighting (again not super expensive but a budget friendly option which has really elevated the stream!) I think get yourself some secondhand starter bits and try to work on the most important part which is getting used to streaming regularly! No good spending a ton of money only to find it’s a dropped habit in 2 months. Funnily enough I got my webcam super cheap because the person selling it wanted to be a streamer and gave up 3 days later 😅

Dell Alienware AW3432DWF OLED with OBSBot Meet Get1 for one setup, and Lenovo LEN G34w-10 and Razer Kiyo Pro as the other setup. Mics I use a Blue Yeti on the first setup, and a Microsoft Audio Dock on the second. 'permanently using a USB port' isn't a problem -- that's what they're there for

I use the Razer Kiyo Pro and have got so many compliments on how crisp it is. I think it was $99.

An old Sony vlog camera and razer kiyo pro for my ugly face.

I’ve got the Kiyo pro (mounted in a Prompter). Very good definition and reasonable colour quality. Doesn’t play well with MS Teams.

Canon EOS R50 also didn't work. I have the Razer Kiyo Pro, and that of course works.

i agree, i was using a razor kiyo pro and switched to the elgato facecam, if you tweak the settings just right the camera look perfect

Tons. I'm using a Razer kiyo pro which is 1080p 60fps and it works great. I'm assuming it's about $80 US (I'm Australian).

Razer kiyo pro works at 1080p 60fps via USB A but not sure about budget friendly. Nothing is budget friendly here in Australia.

Worked great with Razer kiyo pro, in fact better than with a PC since Razer's software is shit.

My recommendation is the Razer Kiyo Pro. I just prefer the brand based on my own experience. Each brand will probably have a cam with similar specs and price. It really comes down to what you're looking for because what's the best for one person or use doesn't mean it's the best for every person or use.

I found some Razer Kiyo Pros at Walmart for $52 each. I also sit further away from my 43" TV too, but it looks good with the zoom.

I just tried it, and yes, it looks very good. One of the features of the Kiyo Pro is that the signal isn't compressed "for absolute video fidelity. Pair that with the high-performance adaptive light sensor, and you got yourself a pretty solid cam.

Yeah, after looking at the specs of the brio 500, I can see why. If you don't have a Walmart nearby with one in stock, the Kiyo Pro is available online but 2x or 3x the price. I believe Razer's MSRP is $199, but Best Buy has them for $129.

The DSLR with a 135mm lens (if money is not the issue) would be absolutely premium, but as you said, it's really cumbersome. Both the Kiyo Ultra and Elgato Pro would be really worth trying. I like the low light picture quality with the Razer Kiyo Cams better than the Elgato ones, I saw that Elgato flickers more with low light. So it depends also on the lighting of your background. I'm currently using a Kiyo Pro (I hope I won't have the USB issue like you had!) with key lights in direction to a reflector in front of me, a ring light with diffusor on my face and a low background light, so the lighting is quite low at all. With NVIDIA Broadcast it makes a nice DSLR effect, this is the low budget version tho. I hope this somehow helps!

I use Razer Kyo pro camera and a random ring light. However, since you are just starting, make sure to buy a good mic first! It is a better investment when you are just starting because having a bad sound is terrible, and having no cam is acceptable.

I just plugged my razer kiyo pro webcam into the usb a port and placed it above my tv. Works. And yes it detects multiple faces for Mario kart and the like :)

I recommend also Razer Kiyo Pro , very good cam we bought it for 100usd and the quality is pretty good. Only bad thing is the razer software, it crash sometime when u want to zoom in/out.

STAY AWAY FROM THE PRO!!! Ultra might be ok, but pro disconnects usb bus after some time

The Razer Kiyo Pro works well for me, and clips onto a monitor as well.

There's third-party config software in the App Store that can config the Razer Kiyo cams. Look for "Spedal", for example. I use it in conjunction with Open Broadcast Studio to config the cam. You can access a full set of cam settings, including Zoom and Tilt / Pan, (if supported). Not sure why it works, but it does. The Razer Cams must use some common app kit camera functions in the Apple Dev Kit just to get up and running that other programs can access for more functions. It's sad that Razer doesn't support their own products on the Mac.

I used to use a gopro with hdmi capture card so it would work well in low light conditions, Ive switched to the razer kiyo pro and can vouch it is better than my gopro which was already decent

I tried a bunch of webcams, including the Razer Kiyo Pro, none of them gave me the quality I was looking for. Then I noticed the specs on my old phones, especially the flagships. Go ahead and look yours up and see if they're better than your webcam. Mine were, by far, and now I use my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (or my Samsung Note 20 Ultra or my Moto G Stylus 2021). You need the [DroidCam app](https://droidcam.app/) and then pay for the pro version to get rid of the watermark. I used Play Points I already had to purchase mine, so it was basically free. There's an OBS version too.

If you’re looking for something that delivers excellent quality without the hassle of a DSLR setup, the [Razer Kiyo Pro](https://www.reddit.com/u/Budget-Blackberry158/s/TvvFynEfdR) is a solid option. It has amazing low light performance and 1080p at 60fps, which is perfect for streaming. The Kiyo Ultra is a step up if you want 4K, but both are great choices depending on your budget. Worth checking out.

Razer kiyo pro

I've had mine for four years. Only negative I can think of is it has a fish eye lense

I think there's some confusion here. The Kiyo Pro 1080p 60 model that is being referenced above is $130 on Amazon US. There are other Kiyo line cams in the price range you mentioned but theyre (understandably) not the same camera and are probably cheaper in Australia as well.

Hello mate, not sure on the choice, that’s down to you… Word of warning. The Razer software is just as bad as everyone says. I use a Kiyo Pro and it’s exceptionally prone to crashing, random black screens and generally being very painful to use. Looks amazing and 1080p60, decent wide angle but couldn’t recommend it on the basis of the software and crashes. It’s often a miracle of synapse recognises it (even after a million updates). Good luck!

I have the same and have been happy with it.

https://www.razer.com/ca-en/streaming-cameras/razer-kiyo?srsltid=AfmBOoql0ES1W7gtheiNxwOEvdCjewZVcZccgi4_vPd8nu8CLuJYHggz Mostly because it was fairly inexpensive and has its own ring light...

Razr Kiyo  It's great. Has a ring light and.mic if needed. Though the mic isn't great.  I use it for meetings and streaming. I got made fun of during the panini for having a 4k camera when everyone else was in pixilated jail at work. 

I use the razr kiyo,  steelseries arctis pro wireless headset, and blue yeti mic. I've never used the kiyo mic, but I do know discord likes to default to it a lot lol.
