The most versatile webcam for a wide range of tasks. Suitable for both simple video sessions and for streaming.

The assembly is without any remarks. It has convenient tripod mounts. The leg is fixed in several positions. The quality of video and sound is excellent. It is possible to work even with minimal light. For its money the product is worth it.

The best mobility. Unusual shape
Rating (2022): 4.8
One of the most inexpensive webcams for HD video calls and broadcasts. Comes in a special case that makes it easy to carry. The shape is also impressive – it’s not the usual “pancake” or eyepiece that most manufacturers use, but a triangle styled like metal. The rubber finish and zinc alloy body make it not only durable, but also aesthetically pleasing.
Operates steadily at 1920*1080 quality and 30 frames per second. Can capture still images with 12 megapixels software. It rotates 360 degrees, but does not have automatic focus, which means everything will have to be adjusted manually. Delays in shooting are minimal. It is good as in normal, excessive or inadequate light. No drivers are included, which means that you will have to spend time looking for them.
