Best USB mic (Amazon) geni.us/AT2100
This is my Logitech C920 HD Pro webcam review and test video. So I’ve had this webcam for a year and I believe it is the best HD webcam you can get because of the value and quality. It has full 1080p HD video recording with autofocus for less than $70. It has a nearly perfect 5 star rating on Amazon, and the link to the best price on Amazon will be at the top of this description so you can click that and order it for yourself whenever you’re ready. Let’s quickly go over the features and what I like about this webcam, and then I’ll show you some test footage. First off, the Logitech C920 is small and lightweight. It comes with a 6-foot long USB cable, and it is compatible with both Mac and Windows right out of the box. To record HD videos with the C920 on a Mac you can use QuickTime, and on a PC you can download the free Logitech software. Some of the main features include full HD 1080p video recording, Carl Zeiss optics with 20-step autofocus, H.264 encoding for faster and smoother HD, dual stereo microphones, and it can capture 15-megapixel photos. So having all those features on this compact webcam is awesome. It is universally tripod-ready and can be mounted to any tripod that has a standard tripod screw. It also has a fold-and-go design, so you can fold it in many different ways depending on how and where you are mounting it. It has the ability to be mounted on different size monitors or laptops and the folding arm has a rubber surface to increase grip and prevent it from falling off. The camera can be tilted back and forth to customize the angle as well. I love the HD video quality that this webcam produces so let’s switch over to the C920 so you can see what it looks like. Alright so now I am recording the video and audio through the Logitech C920 webcam. You can see that the video looks great. It’s got great detail. I’m recording in 1080p HD through QuickTime on my Mac, but you can use this with Windows as well. But the audio is a little lacking. I’m not a big fan of the built-in microphone on the C920. That’s why I do recommend using a USB microphone so you can get better quality audio. And I will leave the link to my favorite USB microphone in the description below and I’ll leave a link to my review video of that microphone at the end of this video so you can check that out. So once you pair up a good quality USB microphone with the Logitech C920 webcam you’ll have a great looking video and a great sounding video. Full 1080p HD video as long as you got a decent amount of light coming in. This is a great camera to use for recording videos or going on Skype video sessions. And here’s a quick look at how well the autofocus works and how close it can focus. So if you produce web videos or participate in Google Hangouts or make a lot of Skype video calls, I highly recommend getting the Logitech C920.

Does it work with heaphones i mean if i have a headset will the sound of the webcam's mic double with the headset's mic
Suazo,Jose mute your mic
*Very pleased with **Newest.Technology** the setup , it took a little adjusting on a few of out cameras to keep them from getting a glare at night. Once that was done they looked great! We look forward to adding a few more cameras to our current setup soon!*
Test starts at 1:41.
thank you
Thanks
Apple discontinued QuickTime Pro, what can you use to record in a 16:9 aspect ratio?
Hey! Thank you for the video. I wonder if this camera could be useful to record lectures in my classes. Would you recommend it?
Just bought this for half price on Newegg Canada. Great review, Andy!
You've sold this to me. Well done.
***** Thanks
... same. Through many reviews/unboxing/test videos, yours the most solid one and got me buying it
The quality of this webcam looks fab! Crystal clear!
I've recently bought this and found the sound it picks up is better with Logitech's noise reduction 'Right Sound' turned off, even if that means it picks up some fan noise off your PC. The stereo mics are actually pretty good. I reckon Andy has true sound turned on in his recording sample as have most people reviewing this webcam.
nice review Andy thank you a lot
but I have a question what is the distance between you and the webcam in the second minute ?
Best review. 👍 Because of it, I ordered the Webcam, & it came in today. Just as awesome as you said THANKS SO MUCH !!! 😀😀😀😀😆
enjoy!
Andy Slye 👍 thanks
Great review! Quick, simple, right to the point :D
Thanks
Hi Andy, l have the above Logitech webcam and a blue yeti usb mic. My problem is l can use them individually but can't seem to record with mic and camera together. Can you please advise? Thanks.
just ordered mine! super excited to try it out thanks for the helpful video!
Enjoy!
@@aslye What does it sound like when you boost the gain to the max on the webcam mic? I have friends that watch Wizardyensid and I want to make them laugh
Nice review got mine and would never look back! thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching!
keep up the great work man
What is the camera viewing degree? is it your normal camera or does it have a view of like 60 degrees?
Awesome !!! Great explaining about how the product works ! I Shall look into it ! Thanks !
Red block thanks for watching!
This is JUST what I've been looking for! 😄
Glad I could help!
Excellent video. You have made me decide I want this purchase! :) Thank you! Especially for testing the focus!
Enjoy!
+Andy | MyTechMethods Get this, it's Amazon's deal of the day today! Bought it. Only for $50.00. So happy!
Just added to my list, every time I search affordable and good webcams this is always the first to show up.
i have install skype on sony android tv..but i don't know if it will work this camera on skype?is it plug and play?or want drivers?
is there a way to use this as a video cam at home and view on a app while you away from home?
Or if you know of a webcam to set up in home to view on a app while your away from home?
yayyyy mine is en route from amazon!!! :) great review !
Thanks for watching, enjoy your new webcam!
Question has anyone extended the USB cable 25 or 33 ft? If so did you have success? Do you recommend an active cable or USB hub? Also is this unit USB2.0?
Right heres the thing with mine. When recording with fraps, how do i disable the mic on the webcam and only use my mic
i do live dj from home so how do i get the audio through while using this webcam
Im new to this stuff obviously. Can you set this up for motion detection recording? And can can I open an application on my phone from anywhere to turn it on and start viewing?
Is there anything newer? same style but maybe updated with better features? Or is this about it. Thanks.....
I use this webcam too and I love it. The mic I use is the Samson CO3U condenser mic and you're right. The audio from the webcam isn't that great. But that goes for any webcam not just this one. Thanks for the review!
Agreed. Thanks for the comment!
great review, i'm going to buy this cam now for my twitch streaming as I already have the blue snowball :)
Enjoy!
Forc3_Sim yeah same
same
what camera are you using to make your video before you swtich to the C920? It looks better!
Thank you for sharing. I just purcahsed C920s Pro HD. today. Q: my laptop only has one USB port.. Is there a way I can add another port for my power plug? Thanks
Does anyone know where you can get that little circle screw in the bottom of the camera I lost mine
how is yours working i plugged mine in and went to the logiteck software program whatever and clicked capture video it says Launcher_Mail has stopped working did you fix that or?
Would it work on my vizio smart tv. It has a USB port in the back
So if you can use other microfone...does it mean you can turn webcam's microfone off? id like to get this camera and Ive got blue snow microfone. cheers
ye, just make sure your snowball is the default recording device in windows
Awesome review, thanks!
Thanks for watching
Cool. So I have the C 920. I'm trying to see what I can get out of it b4 breaking down to get an expensive camera. Have you ever done an overexposed totally white "apple style" background while using the C 920? I have bulbs and stands coming from Amazon for my projector screen ... I am hoping to be able to illuminate myself using a small ring light ...
BTW I also have the blue yeti. Sounds great they tell me.
Is the audio lag using a usb mic separate from the video camera?
can I use it on PS4 ?
Thanks Andy :D
Thanks for watching
+Andy Slye when you talk testing the webcam do you have a microphone or is that the webcams microphone
Oh and does it work with bandicam?? Plz reply
Thunderdash67 That was the webcam's mic
+Andy Slye ok thanks :)
Andy, how does the autofocus work at a distance? 75' or 100'?
I use this at work and have set up conferences Skype/Zoom for my whole department hundreds of times. This product works great and have recorded videos with it on RUclips. It is a large step above any built in webcams in laptops or computer monitors for both video and audio.
Yep my favorite webcam I've ever used amzn.to/2lzhQw5
Quick question: can I use this camera to record video, while connecting an external 3.5mm microphone into the computer? I just want to know if the audio captured from the Webcam won't interfere with the external mic
You should be able to specify which mic source to use in your recording software
Thanks!
can i ask, one i get this webcam (if i do) how do i turn the audio off so the audio comes from my astro a40s (gen2)
ShadowZelite You can choose which audio source you want to record with whichever recording software you use.
Hi Andy, do you have an idea why my C920 Stop having imagen and I only could hree people over? :(
Does it work with Zoom on MacBook Air 2013? Mine is Mojave Version 10.14.6
logitech 920 is compatible with a mac tower from 2009? what r the ones that r compatible?
Best review! Thank you so much!
thanks!
Just ordered this :) Nice review. What microphone stand is that on your desk? Thanks!
Kensurs Thanks! It's this one: amzn.com/B003VYBD58?tag=cempire-20
great :3 what 's the velocity to broadcasting ?
Best review I've found for this webcam. Thanks a bunch. Oh, and don't be scared to decorate your walls with some personality lol. Keep up the great work! :)
thanks!
Andy, thank you for this video. I have Logicool C920, I think that's the Japanese brother to this. But I am not sure if mine is stereo. This Logitech is stereo, the Audio Technica USB mike you show is mono! What don't U like about C920 sound? I wanna use it to record drums & live acoustic jazz bands with my MacBook Pro.
great vídeo!! I have a questión what type of cámara do you use for making this vídeo? thank you!!
GH4: amzn.to/1r4mLlV
What program do you recommend for PC recording with the video from this and audio from a USB mic? I'm having trouble finding a program that can record both without some loss in audio quality. The software that comes with it refuses to take input from VB-Audio that I use to patch through Audition for noise cleanup.
Camtasia: amzn.to/1RTYh6F
Holy crap that's expensive. I ended up figuring out a way to do it just using the webcam software and voice recorder on windows separately. I have to fix the delay between the audio and video anyway so it's not much trouble to have the audio and video as two separate files....easy enough to sync them in HitFilm using a sync clap at the beginning of my recordings.
Does the webcam need a usb microphone? Or can you use an xlr microphone
Excellent review!
Thanks for watching!
Ordering now! That quality is auuuhmazing.
Enjoy!
I am needing a small microphone that could clip on. What would you recommend? The one you have recommended is large and I need something small. Thanks!
There's not really a "clip-on" USB mic. This is a small USB mic that people love: geni.us/BlueICE
Would you need a extra mic like the blue snow ball if you have the web cam?
Not necessary but highly recommended because the built-in webcam mic is not that great.
How do I record in 1080p? Using the Logitech software, even on 'lossless' it seems to do 720p?
did you use quicktime player to record?
definitely need this webcam as well if I wanna make quality videos in the future
Can someone please help. This webcam keeps resulting in little 'rattle' noises that occur every now and then. It's a little bit like occasionally hearing the cam getting fiddled with for 0.5 seconds. I really want it go stop and I have no idea how to.
Is it possible to record 2 video sources simultaneously - one from Mac's built-in camera and the other from the C920 so one can later edit and have 2 angles?
Maybe this? www.bensoftware.com/capturesync
Hey Andy, thanks for the review! You briefly touch on using appropriate lighting for this camera. Does that mean that it does not perform that well in low light situations?
Nearly all webcams are horrible in low light situations. I always recommend having a good light source when using it. Unless you're just Skyping or something, then it doesn't really matter.
Andy | MyTechMethods I see, thanks for the info!
Hi Andy - looks good and I bought it, but I have Windows 10... The picture came up the first time (on Skype), but after re-boot I nevers saw it again. Driver problems the system tells me and I can't figure it out :-( So if you have any tips I would be very happy :-)
Good review!! Helped!!
thanks
Awesome review. What are you using for your lighting. I am looking to start producing RUclips videos and I would really appreciate some tips for seeking up the environment and some budget equipment recommendation.
Check out my video gear here: ChannelEmpire.com/gear
Thank you very much. This is even more helpful than I expected.
Much appreciated.
The clarity is bonkers damn
👍
the Tripod thread got me sold very good for what i use it for. I want one
what camera are you using???
This is the one I'm buying on Amazon. :D Nice! Thanks for the video. The webcam I have at the moment is like a potato, so I wanted a better quality one. lol
Check it out! geni.us/Logitechc920
Is this webcam wireless as I have looked it up and it says it is but everyone plugs it in
Does this work with OBS?
stupid question
I've owned this webcam for about 6 months now and every time I view a video through the Logitech video window it is grainy and not clear. If I am going to take a picture though then its clear and nice.
Hello! I wanted to say great video! I just bought it, and the microphone you suggested, works great!
Great, enjoy!
Do I have your permission to share your videos on my Facebook page? You are amazing when it comes to technology and my friends are extremely tech savvy.
how did you make it full screened?
Very nice review!!! One question, is it able to be used as a live broadcasting camera for that's say, YouNow Or Facebook? Keep up the great work bro!
It will work with any website that allows you to livestream from a computer.
I know this is an old video but. I just bought a c-920 pretty excited.. Thanks for the review,
Awesome, enjoy your new web cam
what tripod is best to buy for this camera? also do u hav a link for the tripod on amazon
My preferred tripod is the Magnus VT-4000: amzn.to/1tbg9js
can you use this camera for TV
Is there a zoom funtion with it.
Does it have built in speakers?
Anyone know if this would work with an old laptop (dell latitude e4310 i5 8bg ram)??
Was you using the Logitech's C920 built-in microphone at the time of the test? I know it's seems like a stupid question, but you could have accidentally been using your computer's built in microphone.
subbed, nice vid
thanks
When i try to use it it says exit registration and it wont record
How do I get it to shoot/record in widescreen?
You think this webcam would be great for gaming face cam videos with the elgato?
Absolutely
Great review!
thanks for watching!
sorry to bother you again but I was looking for a mini tripod that is suitable for this camera what would you recommend? (also im in the UK)
Check out my Resources page and you should see a GorillaPod. That's what I use for a mini tripod: channelempire.com/resources/#VideoGear
would it work for stop motion ?
Hey man! Is there any way to get the background blurred? Or has the camera limitations abt focusing?
Webcams aren't really built with the ability to get blurred backgrounds.
+Andy Slye Oh I got it thanks... They could put this functionality in one of these webcams huh? I liked the prices hahaha
Can you make the web cam to where it shows the full screen your face then you can easily switch it back to your small face in the top corner? If so how?
+Enderboyx34 There isn't a setting in the cam, you can change frame by frame your face by editing with camstasia or sonyvegas...
Nice review! I've been reading on several forums and on sells sites like Amazon that this webcam has compatibility issues with Windows 8.1, where many of the features become unavailable. This is not unique to this model nor to Logitech. It seems that all manufacturers are dropping their webcam lines, and some may be waiting to release re-versioned products with updated drivers for the upcoming release of Windows 10.
nice video man
I have the same webcam, I bought it off Amazon, but even at 720p the FPS sucks. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have the Logitech program is there something else I need to install?
ayyyy andy can you help me out???...I have aa question........I have a blue snowball mic and i want to do stream and have good quality and sound quality.... i know webcams sound isnt the best but i was wondering if i can do my mic sound instead of my webcam....idk if that made any sense
Hey, to answer your question, yes you can
Does work with any computer my laptop Camara isn't working and I'm scare of buy one of this and it doesn't work
