I've watched at least 20 videos on the Elgato Facecam so far, and yours is easily the best one so far. Thank you especially for telling us the fixed focus range is 12 to 47 inches; that fact is important to my use case (which is different than most). Every week we fill a room with 60 or so people to watch various presenters share their expertise, and we livestream their video, audio, and slides to RUclips. The room has challenging lighting, but when the wall behind the speaker is lit up by a projector, it makes lighting even worse, so it is REALLY important to us to have cameras that we can manually set, and then save the settings. I have been using Sony cameras into an ATEM mini to stream, and it works great - except that the setup has just enough complexity that no one else will learn to set it up and operate it. To create a simplified setup that anyone can set up and operate, I bought a lav mic that plugs into the laptop's TRRS input. We clip the mic to the speaker, and plug it into the laptop to replace its onboard mic, and it provides remarkably good audio for the internet audience. To capture video of the speaker's face and torso, I'm considering the Elgato Facecam on a skinny tripod. And now, thanks to you, I know that the tripod needs to be 12 to 47 inches away from the presenter's face. 🙂 Thanks again for your excellent videos. Of course, I've liked and subscribed.
I still feel this is *best for beginners who can just record their sit down videos* with this facecam and spend the *rest of their budget on a good usb microphone.!*
This camera definitely has problems, no matter how many drivers are checked, 3.0 port changes, but it has many transmission problems, it freezes for seconds or it freezes permanently, no matter how much you look on different sides, there are many people who are experiencing this problem, and being a webcam with a lot of money invested and that doesn't work as it should, it's disgusting 
Elgato webcam is by far the best and worth every penny. It is a plus it doesn't waste having a mic or 4K. Best to use USB mics and if you need beyond 1080 then best to get a DSLR or mirrorless and pay for a camlink
Hey guys what about the "Logitech Streamcam" webcam for live streaming and content creation, Vertical video in Full HD 1080p… it seems to be awesome but you have never mentioned it? Any info on it?
I bought the FaceCam but my computer is a couple years ole and doesn't have a USB3 port. Not one review I seen seen mentions that you can't use this camera with a regular USB port.
Just when I think someones convinced me that the Elgato Facecam is a genuine step up in quality from a logitech 922x pro stream, I see a side by side video that makes me think 'its no sharper/more natural' (even if brighter).
My C920 works great but needs decent lighting. I use a budget colour temperature / brightness control ring light which makes a huge difference to image quality. Cheap and effective.🤑
hi justin another awesome video.i'm in the process of creating my channel thanks to you it's been very easy so far i have a question my content consists of building ho scale structures and i want to speed up certain parts if i'm say weathering all the walls i don't want the viewer to have to sit through all of them just one wall and speed up the rest and then on to the next clip.i hope i'm explaining it correctly. thank you for your great videos vito
Totally unrelated to this awesome video, (really great info) but I am searching for an overhead type projector. Does something exist that is not as huge and cumbersome and expensive as the old fashioned overhead projector? I am a craft demonstrator, and I would like to project up on to a while wall, what I am doing on the table top, ie painting technique. I hold regular workshops with a group of senior crafters and this type of tool would be absolutely perfect, but I just can’t find what I am looking for, basically does such a tool exist? Do you know/tried something like this? I just checked online and an overhead projector is almost $500 in CAN funds. But is huge, heavy, and the bulbs are $$$. Hoping you can point me in right direction. PS I am a subscriber and watch all your videos. I’m a senior, limited budget, but I have made about 30 youtube videos to-date, all from your instruction. I know that’s not a big deal in your world, but means everything to me, to be able to communicate to my local crafting group. Thnx in advance, Y.
Just received mine today but it won't save the settings to the camera; go figure. It seems the BRAND NEW cord that comes with the Facecams suck. I just ordered a NEW cord for my NEW Elagato facecam.
Too big if you want to put it directly in front of your monitor. Logitech all the way, even though it is still pretty bulky. No one makes a Narrow one yet. NO ONE.
Hmmm I think I'll look into it on my next paycheck my current one has a Ringlight and a built in mic but it was only like 40 bucks and sometimes the ringlight will like change mid recording
I just got the Elgato, It's a major upgrade for me. I only have 2 videos so far as I am still learning to use it. But I like the 60fps. No one is is really using the 4K, so for my use case it's great. I know many RUclipsrs are putting their Cannons away and just using the Elgato because of its easy set up and high quality image. Thank you for your review

You're welcome - glad you enjoyed it and it's also great to have you here! 😃

USB. Cute. XLR or nothing! (this is mostly a joke by the way and no maliciious intent meant)
Yeah
The ISO adjustment is VITAL to green screen users. Facecam all the way.

Can u make a tutorial about how to make premieres on youtube? 🤔
Hey, this resource might help support.google.com/youtube/answer/9080341?hl=en. Hope it goesl well 👍
I bought the FaceCam but my computer is a couple years ole and doesn't have a USB3 port. Not one review I seen seen mentions that you can't use this camera with a regular USB port.
Have you seen the Zoom one, 4K thingy? EDIT; it’s called the Zoom Q2n-4K. Has onboard mics too.
Just when I think someones convinced me that the Elgato Facecam is a genuine step up in quality from a logitech 922x pro stream, I see a side by side video that makes me think 'its no sharper/more natural' (even if brighter).
A comparison to the inbuilt cameras on the new imacs/laptops would be good/informative.
There is no comparison to in-built webcams to the high end USB webcams.
none of your cameras look like they are 60fps, looks closer to 20.
edit: looked at the stats for this video, it's recorded in 25fps.
WHY?
Does anyone else think the default out of the box Elgato settings looked better than his adjusted settings?
So just to double check; it couldn't record someone say 20 ft away (in focus)?
My C920 works great but needs decent lighting. I use a budget colour temperature / brightness control ring light which makes a huge difference to image quality. Cheap and effective.🤑

That's great - you're welcome! 😊

Very informative
Awesome!
Sir, I am waiting for your reply if you have any time
Just received mine today but it won't save the settings to the camera; go figure. It seems the BRAND NEW cord that comes with the Facecams suck. I just ordered a NEW cord for my NEW Elagato facecam.
I don't want to buy a camera so I'm asking
Very useful and informative conversation but sir tell me which phone is best for video makers?
Justin Brown the Great👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Hello Justin, I'm Marius. Can you please help me to know if it is possible to be monetized in Cameroun ?
Too big if you want to put it directly in front of your monitor. Logitech all the way, even though it is still pretty bulky. No one makes a Narrow one yet. NO ONE.

I think your monitor is not color graded. The standard settings look a lot better.
60 FPS, that's what I've been wanting for so long.
😍😍😍
Good job nu friends!!
My cheap logitech webcam can tilt left and right !
C615? That’s the one I currently have
3 Hours..900 View🙂
Hey
Sup
Sup Justin
will it work on m1 Mac mini ?
Just picked up an Elgato Facecam for $150 today 😍
Awesome! 😃
great. But please how did you removed your video background walking on the scene in your video?
Hey, we have a tutorial on that just search for "3D pop-out effect" to learn more.
Is Filmora pro or Davinci resolve better for pro work?
davinci resolve is better for professional work
1st one watching
👍
Great comparison. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Awesome job comparing the cameras and showing the settings!
Thanks!
Wow good 👌👌
Thanks!

You're welcome, John - Hazel, PV Team
I get too much noise/grainy effect with Elgato facecam. Any solutions? I don't like to sacrifice image quality by turning on noise reduction.
@@JoonKimDMD There are some RUclips videos which focus on how to use the software, I found that useful.
That's looks so great
Thanks, Jay-An.
Nicee
Thanks!
Thankyou..............
You're welcome
Nice work
Thanks!
Ok thx
