The lens genuinely blurs the background
The clip is an afterthought, use the tripod thread
Real optical blur means I can stream from a corner of the bedroom without dressing the set behind me, and that alone was worth the money. The clip is the weak bit though, it perched unhappily on my monitor until I put it on a small desk tripod through the thread underneath, which is where it now lives!
Used for: 1–3 months
No capture card needed
Runs warm
Bought for a podcast, kept for the video calls it made me stop dreading
Used for: Less than a month
Set it up on the Friday, streamed on the Saturday, and nothing else needed buying. That is rare
Used for: 6–12 months
Streaming a weekly quiz from the spare room, and the difference against the old plastic webcam is not resolution, it is that faces stay lit when the lamp is behind them. Skin tones look like skin rather than grey card. It is recognised as a normal camera by OBS and by Zoom, so no bridging software, no account, no nonsense. The mic on it is serviceable for a quick test, but for anything that goes out you plug in a proper one
Used for: More than a year
The clamp will not grip a slim bezel
Superb picture. It simply will not clip to a thin monitor
Used for: 3–6 months
Clean picture with no capture card in the chain
The app insists on an account
Four stars, and the missing one is the app. It insists on an account before it will save a profile. Five months of streaming say the camera itself deserves five stars.
Used for: More than a year
Has yet to drop a frame on me
Two years of Sunday streams and it has yet to drop a frame
Used for: More than a year
Proper background blur without a mirrorless body
Gets warm after a long broadcast
Bought it to replace a DSLR on a dummy battery that had to be babysat every session, and this just sits there. Fourteen months in, the only maintenance has been wiping the lens. It does run warm after a long broadcast, warm enough to notice when you unclip it.
Used for: 6–12 months
Streams straight in with no capture card
No capture card, no bridge software, just a lead into the laptop!
