Style: Cam Link 4K
The Elgato Cam Link blew me away. It’s super easy to set up—literally plug and play—and instantly turns my camera into a high-quality webcam. The video is smooth, sharp, and with zero lag, which makes my streams and recordings look so professional. What I love most? It just works. No complicated setup, no weird glitches. Plus, it’s compact and doesn’t take up space in my setup. If you’re serious about streaming or content creation, this is a must-have. Totally worth it. ... show more

    • The ONLY real Capture Card Solution on the Market. Nothing else is reliable.
Style: Cam Link 4K
I've been through three $10 HDMI capture cards. They are all find for video capture but fail miserably in transmitting audio into Zoom. The $100 Elgato Cam Link is worth every penny. I scrambled to bootstrap an audio solution to three different major events, where the cheap stuff failed me, so I made the splurge and it saved me the next day at a funeral. Gorgeous 4K transmission with audio and zero complaints. Top quality. The only real solution on the market. Don't waste your time risking it on something else. The usb c and usb a compatibility is also nice, but not a big deal to me. ... show more

I used the Elgato Cam Link 4K along with the SoundBeast AV2HDMI 2.0 to digitize old VHS tapes, and it worked flawlessly! The setup was simple—connected my VCR to the SoundBeast converter, then ran the HDMI output into the Cam Link, which captured everything smoothly on my PC. The video quality was excellent, with low latency and no noticeable lag, and the Cam Link handled the conversion effortlessly. It worked perfectly with recording software, making the process easy and efficient. If you’re looking for a high-quality solution for preserving old memories, this combination is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended! ... show more

    • Instant Plug-and-Play Results using Nikon Z6II on MacBook Pro
Style: Cam Link 4K
Initial impression: it just works! Using a Nikon Z6II connected to a 2019 MacBook Pro (Intel chipset), I opened the package plugged everything in and… it worked instantly! No instructions needed! Opened the Photo Booth app and selected Cam Link and… beautiful video! I did not try the audio. The build quality is typical electronics material like a TV remote… it’s robust. It’s simple and effective… based on this initial setup we can recommend it. ... show more

    • Works great, but pricey

I'm giving The Elgato Cam Link 4K four stars but it's slightly in my view because it's too expensive. If you can grab it on sale don't hesitate. It worked right out of the box for me.

    • Perfect!
Style: Cam Link 4K
Looking for a way to capture 4K video from my Nikon Mirrorless camera directly to my computer and this does it! It also allows me to use the camera as a webcam for much better picture quality on my online classes and webinars. I'm not using OBS Studio - just the 4k Capture Utility available for download on the Elgato website. The Utility is a little clunky in that 1) I have to make sure I hook up and turn on the camera before opening the Utility (I also have to reconnect the camera everytime I change the recording settings.) And 2) there's no way (at least that I can see) to choose which folder recorded videos are saved to or to give the file a custom name. That plus the Utility creates a new folder for every video you capture with a dumb name like "My Great Video Capture" is kind of lame. But since that's as bad as it gets, we're doing pretty good. Also, the video encoding is really amazing - I'm getting really nice 4K video capture at around 35Mbps. My camera does 144Mbps so that's like 1/4 the file size for a very nice quality capture. Finally, this also lets those of us who use mirrorless and DSLR cameras exceed the 30 min record limitation by capturing directly to our hard drive. Perhaps not as easy to use on location compared to an Atomos recorder - but we also don't need to spend $500-$1000 more just to get around the recording limit. I'm using the Cam Link 4K with a Nikon D850 and Z50. Highly recommended. ... show more

    • Great. would buy again
Style: Cam Link 4K
{Update} After 10 uses. Been using it with Video Conference calls. People tell me that the camera with this device are worlds better. So glad I got this device. What I've now noticed, is I don't think it's wise to keep it plugged into my laptop 24/7. The Elgato Cam get's warm even when not in use. NOT hot. But warm enough that you know it's not good for the long term to leave it like that. I would buy again for another camera for 2nd angle if I had a youtube channel or something like that for sure. If Elgato releases a USB-C version and it gives better quality, I don't think I'd jump at it. Seriously, the quality I'm getting with the current set up is totally good enough. Original Post: Setup with my Nikon D750 camera. I had to change the settings on the camera to not shutoff the link. But after figuring that out, it works great. I use it for Zoom calls for work and it's such a difference. The camera option on my mac laptop in zoom shows up as a secondary camera option. I didn't have to install any software. It just works. My nikon camera is warm after 10 minutes so you shouldn't leave the camera on all day for example. The quality and speed of the connection is seamless. I should that being USB rather than USBC might not have the bandwidth to support a smooth response, but it certainly did. No issues whatsoever. For the price, I was happy with the results. I did have to buy the HDMI cable for my Nikon which I didn't expect. So be careful in researching that. So when I'm not using the device, I keep it in a plastic case with pads in it. I also happened to have a USB cover cap that I place on it when I remove it from the computer. $100 is still expensive no matter how you look at it. I can see this device being used as part of the setup for a video podcaster or youtuber for the perfect setup. The quality is so good that it passes through. Again, it supports HD quality w/ no issues or added delay to pass the signal. The device itself is hard plastic. But it doesn't feel overly light or flimsy. I'm glad I bought it and would buy again. ... show more
