FYI, you can mount the brio 500 on a tripod easily, just unwind the magnetic pin at the bottom, and u can easily mount it on any standard tripod out there. This is also shown in the Logitech manual as well.
I prefer it especially if you can find at a discount, unless you have to have 4K, 6Ofps, and/or Windows Hello support. Also the mount is much more flexible than the 4K one.
Thanks for a great review. For those who are not able to install the Logi Tune software due to company IT policy, is it possible to adjust the field of view using the "zoom" slider in camera settings in Microsoft Teams? (The "zoom" slider is only enabled if supported by the webcam)
Sorry about the delay. I have confirmed that Windows UVC pan and tilt controls do work with the Brio 500. Of course, the more you zoom in, the more pan and tilt movement is available.
I discovered the Heil PR30B mic. It has such wonderful low end rolloff control. My voice EQ does not seem to change much if I'm 12" or 24 " away. And it has great side rejection. Have you ever tried one?
Thanks for taking the time to comment. You're the third person who has given this feedback. I've started just doing the music in the intro and outro very attenuated, then silent in the middle - usually around 80% of the entire timeline in newer videos is silent.
@@DeployJeremy Thank you, when I'm learning I need to listen, and I wont keep re-winding I just look elsewhere. I really appreciate you not taking offence.
The Logi Tune settings will. If you use OBS virtual camera, then you can also make settings visible in Zoom and Teams. OBS virtual camera is pretty resource intensive though, so I don't recommend for Teams / Zoom unless you have a beast of a PC or you need the other effects, like graphics, intermission stills, lower thirds, etc.
Unfortunately, there is no IR camera for Windows Hello in that one. The original BRIO is the only Hello-supporting Logitech camera as far as I know. The Dell UltraSharp is another one I have with Hello support.
i got a new logitech camera and my picture adjustments in g-hub r not automatically applied on other apps. i have to open g-hub and re-chose my settings to get effects working. why is this?
How well will it work on a large tv and in a conference room setting as a budget alternative to more expensive conference room systems? I am planning on pairing a speaker phone with it
I bought Bro 500 camera with all the features I wanted in a webcam. It was not balanced for a tripod, had a short cord and was completely useless, so I sent it back.
That's news to me. I can't see how it wouldn't be balanced on a tripod. It's very light and when you unscrew the bolt on the base, there is 1/4 20 threading for the tripod. Then it's basically a cylinder with the tripod mount in the middle. Cable is pretty standard length, but unfortunately fixed at the back and not removable like the Brio 4K. The Brio 4K is pretty finicky if you want to get 4K 30fps from it though, and in my case tends to really want the cable it came with, so even with Thunderbolt rated cables, it doesn't always go higher than 1080p 60fps.
There shouldn't be an impact on quality using a USB adapter, especially at 1080p. I use them all the time. Quality would only potentially get impacted if the USB A port doesn't have enough bandwidth to support data transfer. For example, USB 2.0 trying to transfer a 4K video will sometimes result in the camera going down to max resolution of 1920x1080 and disabling 4K.
Both are good. I would say the Streamcam is a little more flexible with how it mounts for vertical video. The Brio 500 has newer internals and does top down shots.

Good to know. I will try that out. Thank you. It's my favorite Logitech webcam and that was really the only thing I could have faulted it with.
Thanks again for the heads-up. Yes, this is confirmed. The magnetic bolt on the bottom is threaded in via 1/4 20 threads for a tripod.
Thanks a lot!
Someone didn't read the manual before recording a review 🤦🏻♂
Oh thanks!
Where is the comparison?
It actually looks SO NICE with the settings you did, I'm still choosing between this and the streamcam...
I am so happy you do these videos about these webcams!!!
Thank you!
Great video, I was trying to decide between this one and the 4K but you already mentioned why this one have better performance, thank you!
I prefer it especially if you can find at a discount, unless you have to have 4K, 6Ofps, and/or Windows Hello support. Also the mount is much more flexible than the 4K one.
Was there even any comment about the C920? I didn't see a single comparison with it.
Great video! Thanks!.
So is the built-in microphone a good performer on it's own for zoom meetings etc? I won't need to buy an external mic?
I thought it was. You'll still want to be as close as reasonable to it for best sound quality.

I don't believe they open up that control in UVC, but I'll check over the weekend and get back to you.

Hello. When starting the camera, does the load go to the CPU or video card?
hey, great video. thanks what software you using for webcam setup?
I used Logi Tune for camera settings and OBS to record the video and audio.
@@DeployJeremy thanks a lot for your reply

The Heil microphones are really good. I've tried the PR40
Does it work well on Mac MS Teams? I've heard there's issues...
Great video!
Thank you, Andrew!
Are you the Microsoft mechanics host?
I want to ask something about the usb C ... will we lose quality if i dont have usb C on my laptop ?
No. As long as you adapt is to USB-A you should be fine.
Thank you very much ! So maybe i will take logitech instead of razor
what camera are you using for this video? (apart from brio 500)
I'm using a Sony ZV-E10 with Viltrox 23mm F1.4 AF lens. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for the review, can I attach it to a laptop or only a fixed screen or monitor?
Of course. You just wouldn't use the adhesive mounting tape on a laptop (assuming you want to remove it later).
Wish you would turn that music off or down in the background, not sure what it's for we are trying to listen to details.

Do OBS and the camera/video-software settings carry over to Zoom and Teams??
The Logi Tune settings will. If you use OBS virtual camera, then you can also make settings visible in Zoom and Teams. OBS virtual camera is pretty resource intensive though, so I don't recommend for Teams / Zoom unless you have a beast of a PC or you need the other effects, like graphics, intermission stills, lower thirds, etc.

Everything is good expect the focal length. Wish there was some way to tweak this to get 50mm or even 200mm results.
I don't know about 50mm, but I was able to manually focus on 200mm.

I think it could work. I've seen many meeting rooms with a Logitech C930 and speaker puck. So in the right room (smallish) it could work.

Any idea why in Viber it cuts the screen ratio, even though the cam's field view is set to 90 dgrees in settings?
Logitech BRIO 500 vs Logitech streamcam ^^ Hard to call. Just want something thats good enough, and brio 500 is a bit cheaper atm.
I was in the same boat ultimately I wanted the best picture quality out there and my company would cover the cost so I got Insta360 Link
Can you use the Brio 500 with an adapter to UBS C to USB A and have the same image quality?
There shouldn't be an impact on quality using a USB adapter, especially at 1080p. I use them all the time.

Unfortunately I found that desk view or show mode didn’t work so had to return
Curious what wasn't working for desk view. Was it a hardware or software problem? That seemed pretty straightforward when you swivel the camera down.

If you don't want to crop, you'd need and turn and edit it (rotate in post) from what I can tell.
does it support windows hello?
No, it doesn't. Just the Brio 4k does from Logitech.
This 500 better an 4K one
Thanks😘
nice
the logo transition is too slow and laggy
Thanks for commenting. Noted
what you think about elgato facecam?? @DeployJeremy
It's a great camera. It does need a separate microphone. I wish I had the 4k60 Pro model to test.
nice
