Elgato Cam Link 4K – External Capture Card for DSLR & Camcorder, ActionCam as Webcam, Meet/Stream/Record in 1080p60 or 4K30/4K60, Easy Connect for OBS/Zoom/Discord – HDMI to USB 3.0, PC/Mac/iPad

Well worth the money spent. I had already wasted money on buying two other cheaper brands. Couldn't get a good quality video out of them until I purchased this Elgato and I have no regrets. Quality really does come with the price and this product is top quality. I've already transferred two VHS tapes to 1080p 60fps digital video. You download the software from their website and it's very easy to use.

Worked perfectly. Once I disabled my M50 camera auto shut off. The cam link to worked perfectly. Before I did that it kept on cutting off after a minute or two.

Nice bit of kit to use for my stream camera. great video quality and very easy to set up. ive had no stability issues and it connects seamlessly to my ZVE10M2

The 'Cam Link 4K' by Elgato is a brilliantly simple solution for those who want to connect their camera directly to a PC/Laptop which effectively turns it into a 'high-quality webcam'. There are cheaper alternatives to Elgato's own Cam Link, some of which go for £20 but you are typically restricted to 1080p with these cheaper devices and may not have as much as a straight-forward experience. There are many reasonable to why someone would benefit from using this product, such as: • Web conferencing: Be it for work or a group chat with friends on platforms such as Discord. • Recording/Vlogging: Using the Elgato '4K Capture Utility' software enables you to record directly onto your PC. • Streaming: Interact more with your viewers by showing yourself whilst broadcasting. Included in the box, you will find: • Cam Link 4K USB stick. • USB 3.0 extension cable. • Elgato sticker. • Safety instruction manual. Additional purchases: • A HDMI cable that is compatible with the camera you are planning on using (For example: Sony A7III has a Micro-HDMI port, so I needed to purchase a HDMI to Micro-HDMI cable). • USB 3.0 extension cable: The one included is quite short, so if you want more reach, you will need to purchase one that suits your needs. It's very important your computer meets the requirements including having the USB 3.0 ports, otherwise you may be met with disappointment when trying to set-up. The set-up for me was extremely simple as my PC (Windows 10) instantly recognised it and installed the drivers required. I installed the '4K Capture Utility' which is available directly on the Elgato website, this allows you to check signal, monitor your microphone, adjust output settings, record video and take screenshots. When you first connect your camera, you may notice all the information that you see on your camera monitor is also being displayed which most should have within the settings to turn this off, for example: • Sony A7III: 'Menu' - 'Setup 3' - 'HDMI Settings' - 'HDMI Info. Display' - 'Off'. The resolution output will depend on what you have selected in-camera and of course the overall quality will depend on your camera/lens setup. I did find in my experience that the signal will freeze when I was running the 4K Capture Utility software at the same time as Discord, I'm not sure why that was but to resolve that issue I just closed everything down and re-loaded the software I wanted to use at that time and the signal was perfectly fine. For me this is not an issue as I don't need to use multiple software at the same time, but may indicate a potential flaw in the product/software (could even be related to my PC, hard to tell). Overall, I am pleased with the results as I am able to use the video & audio straight from my camera to interact with my friends on Discord.

Setup was super easy, and I was able to connect my Sony camera with ease with the Elgato software. I have noticed no lag or speed issues, and it's use with OBS and other streaming services is so easy.

Have had this for a few years now before writing the review. I've got a couple of cheaper USB capture devices, and this knocks the spots off them. Pin-sharp video, low latency and very stable. If you need HDMI capture, this is the one.

These Cam Links from Elgato are Great, I have now bought multiple of these and haven't had any issues with them at all. We have bought them for streaming and they are great for both Windows and Macs as with both operating systems, you can just plug them in and go. No drivers necessary or bloatware apps to get it working. Just plug it in, plug your HDMI source in and then use your favourite software. I can confirm it works with FaceTime, PhotoBooth, OBS, Livestream Studio 6 from Vimeo, Google Hangouts and Zoom. All in all they are great value for money when compared to the Blackmagic Mini Recorders that only work with Thunderbolt, so to have a device that you can plug into pretty much any modern computer is great, and I would highly recommend this product for anyone who wants to have a capture card for a camera or computer or whatever you want:)

This is an excellent piece of kit. This allows you to connect your compatible DSLR camera to your PC for use with OBS or SteamObs or another steaming/filming application. It enabled your DSLR as a webcam. It's easy to setup, and the drivers are downloadable at Elgato, once installed you pick the device as you would a webcam, and off you go. It comes with a short USB cable in-case you can't get it into the USB port due to the spacing. There is no HDMI lead included which is a little annoying so ensure you have one or buy one. Pros Allows you to use a DSLR as a webcam Comes with a small USB cable in case you have issues with space Good quality Cons Bit big for a USB port No included HDMI lead No drivers included Overall a great device filling a niche in the market where there are no other products.

عشان المنتج يشتغل لازم يتوصل ب مدخل usb3 مستقل، بجهاز امكانيات كارت الشاشة فيه عالية لو اتوصل على usb hub هيقرفك حرفيا ويفصل كتير، خاصة لو انت موصل هاردات او deck او حاجات تانية كتير. لو معندكش مدخل usb3 مستقل في جهازك مانصحكش تشتريه لو عندك المتطلبات، هتلاقي الجودة ممتازه الفرق بينها وبين ال capture card التقليدي الرخيص هو فقط في ال 60 frame لكن جودة الصورة مش بتفرق في حاجه، رغم ان السعر ١٠ اضعاف

Works as announced.

Setting this up with my Sony ZV-E10 was super quick and easy—it’s basically plug and play. The build feels solid and well-made, which is what I expect from Elgato products, and the price felt very reasonable for the quality you get. I’m a big fan of Elgato and have my entire streaming and WFH setup built around their products, so it fits perfectly into my workflow. The device works reliably, and the image quality is consistent with what I need for streaming and video calls. Overall, I’d recommend this if you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality, and affordable tool to upgrade your streaming or WFH setup.

This thing is just absolutely amazing. I used two HD60 Pros to capture an HDMI PTZ conference camera and my switch. This lets me remove two pcie devices in favor of a single device, and lets me capture 2 devices and 2 cameras, or any mix of things which will be great for speedrunning/camera on the hands, and all kinds of other things. It works extremely well, however - do not mess with picture in picture mode and rapidly change to other inputs. It's possible for this to bug other inputs with incorrect PIP settings, and PIP/multiview is "supposed" to be locked to input 1. If this issue does happen, go download the DRIVER ONLY package for the card and reinstall it, it will fix the issue instantly by clearing all driver settings. Using it as 4x inputs though is really amazing, and deeply undercuts the enormous price of industry standard devices for this type of thing. This type of disruption is exciting, but if you don't need to capture multiple HDMI devices, this probably isn't for you. It has no passthrough and can't be configured to do passthrough, which is an important consideration if you are not using splitters now. I know what i want this for - I want to speedrun games while a partner plays them casually, and set a camera on both of us, using the same PTZ HDMI cameras - and it will work brilliantly for this silly fantasy I've had for a while now.
