 Hey guys, so I wanted to do a kind of video. I don't really do that much and that is hardware reviews Well, at least the hardware reviews of things that have been made in the past eight years or so But I got this webcam a couple days ago and or well, I guess I've had it a week or so and my Feelings on it are so positive that I sort of wanted to do a little video on it So this thing here is a Logitech HD webcam. It is a hold on C920 I don't know if you can read that but I had to write it in my hand But you know the model number isn't super important because other Logitech webcams are pretty similar I got this thing because I wanted to I wanted a decent quality webcam to record on my computer And this thing is actually blown away my expectations So if you're someone who say is you know looking for something to ask for Christmas I mean, I want to do this video before Christmas, of course And you want to get your mommy to get you something because you have delusions of being a YouTube Star this might be the best thing and it'll I bought this for about 50 bucks I think that's par for the course. I think it's definitely worth it So anyway, this thing, you know when I first got it. Well, let's just look at features So as you can see it sort of folds out You can have it just on a desk or something like that one thing I was originally worried about is It's ability to clip on different laptops and screens, but the design here is actually extremely good And it's very sturdy. I mean you can't feel it, but like it's it's very sturdy So pretty much can go on any laptop. I've run into or screen Pretty snugly. You just unfold it in whatever way is best and it's I don't know it doesn't really move that much It's a nice nice quality design in terms of that so this is an HD webcam and I guess originally I wanted to sort of use this in a couple of screencasts and stuff Maybe take pictures with it just different stuff like that And I've used it a couple times and it's already been great, but I should give some caveats Well, let me say this first It does work out of the box on Windows and Mac and Linux and Linux is of course what I'm running It does work on totally free Linux distribution So if you have you know, whatever the parabola or trisk will or something it should work fine You shouldn't have to install anything You just get it out at the dev folder and that's fine So I've been using this thing and it's pretty convenient for that But there are also some like added perks that I guess I didn't expect well actually let me let me do the bad stuff first Well, which isn't really bad considering 50 bucks is you know, not that much. I will say And this might not be a fault of the webcam camera might be my fault, but I've had a little trouble I mean when I use this thing usually I use the what 640 by 480 or whatever like that a lower Resolution because I usually have the the camera like in a side of my screen when I'm recording something So I don't usually use the HD You know webcam resolution But I have tried using it and I will say on my machines. It's a little stuttery I don't know if that's just because keep in mind. I do use computers that are around 10 years old They take a while to you know You know do rendering and stuff like that So it might not be the fault of the webcam, so I don't really want to detract points from that It can very easily. I still can take a video that's sped up over You know in HD quality and should be fine But you know, it might just be my I don't quite know how webcams work on Linux But besides the resolution it works out of the box like if you're using Linux You can just run MPV on dev video zero and this thing's gonna pop out Albeit not at the HD resolution at a more manageable one so in terms of perks There are a lot nice little things for example We got a tripod mount so I can mount this thing on the tripod I'm recording this on right now And use it so that is very convenient Additionally one of the huge benefits and this is one of the reasons I actually ended up liking this thing a lot is I didn't expect it to actually have a microphone and if it had a microphone I didn't expect it to actually be good So I use one of those enormous blue yeti's to record audio actually let me show you what it looks like Yeah, this thing so I use this to record audio in my videos And I think you know, it's a decent quality product You know, you can change the volume got a couple settings and how it picks up audio It's a really nice thing and it picks up good, you know good sound I guess so I do use this for my videos and I've been using it really since I started my youtube channel This was around a hundred bucks. I might do a video on this later But I will say I was I was not expecting So I'll go ahead and say the quality of the audio of this is less than the blue yeti But it is not noticeably less in most circumstances So if I'm just recording on the screen, this thing works pretty much as well as the blue yeti In fact, there have been a couple times when I was just recording and I didn't realize my computer was recording off This rather than the yeti and I didn't really notice it. I had to think about it Now if you play the sound from the blue yeti in this back You know right next to each other. You will notice the blue yeti's is noticeably crisper But depending on the acoustics of your room and you know depending how you know I'll say if you have a decent room with decent acoustics This thing is going to work just as well and of course as I said before this thing was 50 bucks So this thing was a hundred bucks So if you want to just like start screen casting or something or start making videos This thing is probably this is definitely sufficient just this 50 bucks bucks investment is enough That's not to say I don't recommend You know other audio quality, you know higher audio quality stuff, but yeah, this is pretty much good enough So that's one of the reasons I really like this thing So I'm gonna be going on vacation over December and some of January and when I do I used to Lug this thing around everywhere. I went through airport security and stuff like that, but I'm not gonna do that this time I'm just gonna take this and we're just gonna record video on that and Audio included and hopefully that'll be fine. I definitely think it will be um, so anyway, this has been the Logitech I gotta look it up again. Hold on C920. There are later versions of this There are earlier ones, so you might want to check those out as well But I I recommend this the only fault I said might not be you know the issue of the webcam itself It might just be I don't know exactly how to if you guys know how to do web camming on Linux and get The resolution you want at the frame rate you want just tell me in the video description I'm sure some of my Subscribers know but actually it's pretty sufficient for what I'm doing if I just use the base resolution and that works fine for me So aside from that pretty crisp video and audio I'm actually really surprised about this So you might want to actually check it out and get one for yourself if you have again If you have delusions of being some kind of YouTube star, so anyway, that's about it
