Logitech - Brio 4K

I have a Logitech Brio 4k and Logitech Litra. I tried the Logitech beam but doesn’t work with my set up well. I’m NOT a potato cam on camera person so if I camera is on, it’s worth it. So yes the Logitech equipment is mine and I don’t use what my company sent me but I also don’t use the monitors they sent and instead use my 38” ultra wide LG.

I got the OBSbot earlier this week. Can’t speak to the Elgato but it bodies the Brio in my opinion (even though I got the 1080p OBSbot) one of the best webcams I’ve seen

Brand names like the c920 are known performers. They have people who have actually used them, and deliver a known result point. The other three you have listed are no-names. The sensors may be crap; even if they technically output 1080p60, they may look like absolute hot garbage. The whitesheet spec is not the full story. What kind of optics do they use? What kind of dynamic range does the sensor provide? Is the gain amp clean, or cheap noisy trash? What kind of reliability and reproducibility do they bring to the table? Do they have a decent autofocus? How big is the actual sensor they use? --- I got fooled by the white-sheet on the Logitech Brio. Looks *amazing* on paper, the perfect camera that I'd always been hoping someone would make. I bought two, sight-unseen, when they first came out. They were (and still are) horrible basket-case shitgoblins. Sitting on my shelf, back in their boxes. Overheating, crashing, disconnecting, image corruption, and sometimes not even being recognized at all. And when they *did* work... the image quality was somehow *worse* that the c920 I'd bought them to replace. Looked like absolute fried ass. So yeah. Sometimes it's because something is known to work (reasonably well), and not just an optimized text string meant to lure people in.

I have a Logitech Brio 4k as well. It does not work via usb c or with an adapter. I have a cheap MS one that does work via USB A directly to the dock. Edit: I am on the latest firmware as well. 2.0.28

My ?Logitech Brio 4K (model V-U0040) does not work. The Switch detect it as a camera, but it does not show up under the USB camera test and does not work in game chat.

I got the Logitech Brio and maybe there's some settings I don't know how to adjust, but I can't stand the way the colors show up. When I open up the camera settings for adjustment, there's nothing really to do for the coloration.. Just to turn HD on/off, adjust brightness. When I looked it up, people were recommending a streaming service OBS to get the most out of it, and that's just not a path I'm willing to go down. Does anyone have a recommendation for a webcam that is more straightforward, and still brings a great visual? I'm doing meetings all day, so it's just to capture that.

I use the Logitech brio 4k it’s an amazing option.

Razer makes pretty good cameras! I use a Logitech brio and that has been a pretty good camera. I would also recommend the Sony A400

Thanks. I do get that, but again, I would rather get a camera. Like, idk how much I'll go into it, so I don't wanna drop a bomb on an iPhone to not just not use it much. Was wondering what an ideal webcam is that works well, too. Apparently the Brio 4K is good? I was aware more than IR made iPhones good for tracking, but also aware IR is a big factor, so wondered about IR webcams.

I have the Brio, I wouldn't recommend it over a budget cam for 80 or so. Unless you are planning to do high deff titty streams, the extra detail is lost when you shrink the webcam window

Logitech Brio works great, about $80-100

I have two Logitech BRIOs sitting on the shelf, because they're useless basket-case shitgoblins. They error out, overheat, glitch, disconnect, and generally are just trash. I bought two because the whitesheet made them look like the perfect webcam. They are not. They look WORSE than a c920 even in perfect lighting somehow. I'll regularly take one off the shelf and update the software and firmware to see if it's fixed yet. Still no, so far. I'd recommend one of the Elgato Facecams if you're going with a webcam. The Mk2 or Pro both are at the upper end of what a webcam is going to be capable of, and punch almost on-par with a starter grade DSLR/mirrorless.

I 3rd the Brio statement. Mine was hot garbage, no matter how perfect I made my lighting.

Thanks man and tbf, I've seen the Brio 4K for good prices on eBay. I could grab one for £50-£60. Not too bothered if it's second hand because a camera either works or doesn't lol....I don't need it new. Hmm, okay, fair enough for the light, I may have to do the same. I do have a lamp, but it's way too bright. Need something else. Also, didn't know it had IR, thanks.

Thank you for the instructions! I was able to successfully downgrade the firmware on my Logitech Brio 4K using Parallels on my MacBook.

Just tested a Logitech MX Brio 705 4K and it worked for me!

Elgato c920 is the gold-standard starter cam. You can find them on-sale for around $50 usually. Of those three, I'd go with the Elgato. Avoid the BRIO like the basket-case shitgoblin it is (I have two sitting on the shelf, they're worthless little turdbuckets that constantly error and look like absolute crap, even compared to a c920; I bought them when they first came out as their whitesheet makes them look like the perfect cam, but THEY ARE NOT). > Btw, I do stream at 4k60 You must be streaming to YouTube, then? Because Twitch's max bitrate would make any 4K60 stream look like hot fried poop. Absolutely unwatchable. Doubling down on the Facecam Mk2 (or bump up to the Pro), it's going to give the best quality out of the three.

I tried my Logitech Brio 4K and my Insta360 Link. Both showed up as “Camera connected” and “Now using USB Mic,” but neither shows as connected when you test them. Anyone have any ideas?

I use an instalink 360 and it works really great. I've tried a Logitech Brio and a Lumina 4k also, but I like the instalink the best. https://amzn.to/4fAm268

A few months back I upgraded from my Logitech BRIO to a Sony ZV-E10 and the difference in quality is HUGE. I am very pleased with my experience. I use this camera for streaming only, not YouTube, so I can't comment on that. But my stream looks so crisp now as the camera does a great job handling low lit backgrounds with minimal grain. I believe the ZV-E10 was around $800? And included the cam itself and also an adjustable lense.

I use the Logitech brio 4k. It’s amazing!

The c920 is just a classic standard all around fine webcam. But it is getting a bit old now and was release date back in 2012... Logitech have the c922 that can do 60fps in 1080p tho. Logitech Brio is a better webcam overall and can do 4k. Insta360 Link 2 is also there but is in a completely different price range.

I use a logitech Brio 4K, which is great. But would nevertheless recommend the Brio 500. Which performs similar but costs a lot less

MX Brio 705 4K. Thanks for the reminder to test it out .. later tonight!

I have a Brio and it's mic is surprisingly great.

(Edit to put this at top - I wouldn't recommend a Brio 100 (101?) because it is fixed-focus). I've had a Logitech C920 (lowest price looks to be around $60) for several years and it's never given trouble. Also a Logitech Brio 4k ($130). I've also tried no-name webcams and ended up with something that randomly disappears in the middle of meetings (this wasn't Fedora-specific). If it was me, I would go $10 over budget and get a C920 (the diffs between C920/C920e/C920X are minor and mostly what software is bundled with it, so inconsequential). Definitely *don't* get a Brio 101 or 301, or a C270 - they are within your budget, but all three are fixed-focus. (Brio 4k is autofocus like the C920, but double the price, because of the hugher resolution) (I got my first Logitech product back in 1985 (C7 mouse) and have never had a quality problem with any of their products.)

It's also a quite good camera for meets or whatever.
