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.

The Razer Kiyo Pro is half the price of a DJI Pocket 3, has 80% the same sensor area and a wider f1.7 aperture. For the price the DJI Pocket 3 isn't really a great webcam. Being light and having a gimble isn't really useful for a webcam setup which is usually static.

> 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 use Razer Kiyo Pro + https://github.com/soyersoyer/cameractrls

The Razer software only works on windows. That's why I use the above software to control the settings on Linux. Yes and yes

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

Me too, I have the Razer Kiyo Pro

Rocking the Razer Kiyo pro as well with Nvidia's camera software. No complaints other than the base Kiyo has a built in ring light but I'm not sure how well it even works.

Get razer kiyo pro instead of X

If you got the cash to splash, maybe double the logi price, look at the razer kiyo pro

Razer Kiyo regular or pro or pro ultra works great looks amazing and has exceptional low light miles ahead of the c922. In my opinion the best looking webcam for the budget that also doesn’t break the bank to hard

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

used a Logitech C920 in the past, so whatever the upgraded version of that is, Razer Kiyo Pro is what I use now and have had minimal issues.

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

For background, I'm on a variety of Zoom, Teams, WebEx, and Google Meet meetings 5-6 hours every day, so those are the paces I've put the hardware through below. I've gone through two Logitech C930 webcams, and a Razer Kiyo Pro before landing on the Logitech Brio 500. While the Kiyo had great features, it was glitchy and my laptop had trouble with the processing load even with 64gb RAM. The Brio has great resolution, tracks if you move and keeps you in center frame, and has excellent low light compensation. Glad I took a risk on it. I've used a Jabra Speak 710 every work day since 2019 and it's just now starting to lose audio clarity on the speaker, but it's been a workhorse. I switched to the Poly Sync 20 about a month ago and have been pleased with it so far. Couldn't pass up the $45 deal on Amazon for it. Hope this helps.

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

I use the razer kiyo pro and it's fine. There's an ultra out that I'll maybe upgrade too. The sony ZV series of cameras top tier is you want the most out of camera quality because it's an actual camera although those are a minimum 750. So tldr razer kiyo for starting out and if you want best of the best and you know how to work an actual camera Sony ZV series

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

i use both an elgato face cam and a razor kiyo pro, both amazing but i like the elgato face cam better because the quality is a little better, the only problem with the face cam is the app you use for it is really dodgy so i just adjust the settings on obs.

Make sure your lighting is good. It can make the difference and make a cheap camera look decent. I, personally, use Razer Kiyo Pro but you can go with cheaper.

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!

Razer Kiyo Pro is absolutely good for streaming

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 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’m using the Razer Kiyo Pro (and virtual green screen from Nvidia Broadcast) with no complaints from me or the few who watch me.

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've used a Kiyo Pro for 2 years now and it's been great.

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 wouldn’t go for the kiyo, I’ve used it before and it’s not great for the cost. It’s not a bad camera but it’s over priced for what it is

I use a Kiyo, it’s by no means the best camera. But for the budget, it’s a great starter cam. Built in light is super helpful too.
