The best Webcams: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I use a Logitech BRIO attached to a flexible webcam stand.

You don't need something as expensive as a BRIO (I had the cam already for working at home) if you are only using it for Spelltable. Just make sure whatever camera you get is compatible for the mount you have. I really like the flexible arms, but they aren't terribly steady. They are normally fine, but if you already have a desk that moves a little, then it might be an issue.

Another note, you want your play area to be bright, but you don't want the light shining directly down on your table. So I'd avoid cameras with built in lights, as those tend to cause glare on the card sleeves (in my personal experience at least).

Don’t trip on the webcam too much. Maybe get a 20-40 dollar one from Amazon. And check out a streaming software like OBS or StreamLabs on YouTube to see which one that you like. Then get a capture card. This is the first one I had but now I have a Elgato HD60 pro. Really they both work fine. The real hard part is sticking to it even when no one is watching for months. I’ve been at this for almost a year and a half and I’m still enjoying it. But I’ve had ups and downs for sure.

Just get the basics and START then worry about the best of the best stuff later. To really stick with it you gotta be able to do it even if it’s going slow. Quality equipment won’t help you enjoy yourself.

Ask me anything anytime. Good luck

You can buy some off brand 1080p cameras for the same price and they work fine.

I have a 'Saitor' one which works fine and looks great. Bought one for both my parents and grandparents and they have no issues either. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B088NXL2CQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's literally a few clicks on amazon, Especially considering none of the hosts are pressed for cash.

All their mics are decent aside from woody's but that's temporary.

Webcam - $200

Lighting - $80

There’s tons of cheap USB fingerprint readers that work great with Windows Hello on Amazon.

The cameras are generally speedier. Another I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the Logitech Brio:

Found this one for $35 on Amazon

I got a Logitech webcam 10 years ago and it’s still going strong.

I don’t know if this is the exact model but it looks very similar: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-C920x-Pro-HD-Webcam/dp/B085TFF7M1

Before I bought a webcam that mounts on my monitor, I would just open my laptop and put it in front of my monitors for zoom calls. I could still use my keyboard and mouse.

A better substitute for the C270 would probably be a Saitor Webcam. Same pricing as the regular price of the C270 but camera quality is much better.

Logitech offers their products on Amazon. Amazon simply acts as the distributor. Here's the c922x and Logitech's official webcam listings on Amazon.

This works well for me Logitech. c270 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Widescreen-Noise-Reducing-Automatic-Correction/dp/B01BGBJ8Y0/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n1_0

Do you have a webcam? That's what I'm using to record myself so I can watch my hands and identify errors that need to be fixed. I've only been playing for a year, but a few months into playing I bought a $25 logitech webcam from amazon Logitech C270 and it's really helped me improve, and I can recommend this model. I just wanted to have something that would clearly show the strings and not get too blurred, which is the problem I had with using my phone. I also use it for skype calls and whatnot, so I consider it a decent $25 investment until I get better and want "real" recording equipment. If you want to see what the recordings look like on it, you can look at some of my vids:

The Logitech C920 is a great webcam and from what I've seen, is the most recommended webcam on this subreddit. It appears to be £55.99 on Amazon at the moment. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-C920-Webcam-Auto-Focus-Microphone/dp/B006A2Q81M

You can get a webcam on Amazon for about $22: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Desktop-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B004FHO5Y6/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1494217946&sr=1-5&keywords=webcam | I hope they've gotten back to you at this point.

Amazon Prime Day is coming soon. I can bet this will be on a good sale. This thing goes on sale a lot. I only use it for SC and it worked pretty well, even when FOIP was buggy. So, should work really well with the new version.

Indeed they are. But they’re out of stock for three weeks:

Logitech C270 Desktop or Laptop Webcam, HD 720p Widescreen for Video Calling and Recording https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004FHO5Y6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZspEFbMFNVFSR

I bought this one on Amazon. It has a built in mic and 1080p video, also it has a lens cover which is a bonus. No complaints so far :)

I use this one and it seems to do the job fine:

I bought this one for my Studio, just plugged it in to the USB hub built into my monitor and it worked.

There are items that don't make it to most retail shelves because the alternatives are so much more expensive/have better mark up. Paying $20 bucks for 5 razors is a scam, cartridge razors in general is a scam.

You can pay $8.94 for a hundred safety razors

Anyone have any good suggestions for an adjustable mount for using Continuity Camera?

I have an iPhone 13 for work that I really only use for Okta and I would like to replace my external webcam with this phone using Continuity Camera.

It looks like the official Belkin mount is designed to go directly on the MacBook, but I have an external monitor that I’d like to mount mine on.

Does anyone know of a MagSafe mount that adjusts similar to something like the Razer Kiyo? (https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Kiyo-Streaming-Webcam-Built/dp/B075N1BYWB/)

I haven't been able to find anything.

Microsoft cameras are good for office and team calls, Logitech makes some good cameras for streaming. The C922x was the go-to a few years ago, but that might be out of date now.

Yeah I have the C920X. Absolutely fantastic webcam when I plug it into my computer, just goes a bit haywire when trying to use on the Xbox. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085TFF7M1/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o08\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah I'm assuming it's my walls throwing shit off and it's trying to auto correct. Webcam I use is specifically recommended by Xbox though: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085TFF7M1/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o08\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

An external camera can be used for Windows Hello, but not the C920, it doesn't have the hardware for that to work. Windows hello requires IR emitters and sensors that the C920 doesn't have.

You would need something like the Logitech Brio or the Dell Ultrasharp for that.

Doesn't seem like much of a sale. The C920X seems to sit at $80 pretty regularly on amazon.

Io uso questa e mi ci trovo benissimo:

https://www.amazon.it/Logitech-Webcam-Videochiamate-Registrazione-Microfoni/dp/B006A2Q81M?th=1

Dall'inizio della pandemia il prezzo è sceso di un terzo, e secondo me funziona molto bene: addirittura anche il microfono è valido, e spesso lo uso al posto delle cuffie, avendo il laptop chiuso. Se ti serve solo per remote meeting coi tuoi colleghi di lavoro, sei a posto così. Se invece hai un pubblico (es. streaming), devi comprare una luce circolare: i soldi li merita tutti. Eccone una che funziona piuttosto bene:

https://www.amazon.it/Neewer-Temperatura-3000K-5000K-Flessibile-Smartphone/dp/B07QM76BF6/

Here's my camera.

Throw more money at it if you want to, this thing is cheap and effective and chances are you, like me, aren't pretty enough to need more <3 It has zero features outside of being a camera.
