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

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.

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.

ALL I NEEDED!! Life saver

I plugged in the product the day it arrived and it worked like a charm! I did not use the software it comes with, but OBS. I was able to digitize an interview with a relative from over 20 years ago on a VHS tape and share it with family. The quality was as good as the VHS or better, so I am very pleased! Looking forward to digitizing more old memories.This item was combined with a RCA to HDMI converter to work.

Even though this is marketed as a plug-in-play device. There is some things that need to be known before you purchase this. Since this is a premium penny at over 110 dollars. The main thing people need to understand is USB Bandwidth. If you plug this 4K Cam Link and it does not work properly. Keep trying in other USB 3.0 ports. This Cam Link at 1080p 60 frames was drawing more bandwidth than other Capture Links. So you may have to test it in multiple ports. I was on a laptop. So after you figure out your USB Bandwidth you should be good.If you are getting some lagging or freezing. You may need to download the Elgato 4k Capture Utility Software. Once the Cam Link is plugged in open the app. Hold CTRL and select the settings icon. Put it on Isochronous mode and this should fix whatever lagging or stuttering. After I did this My Cam Link runs all day. I have used it for over 4+ hours many times.The quality and color in OBS are much clearer than in cheaper Cam Links. A much richer brighter color that pops out. It does get warm but I have never had problems. I use mine at 1080 60p and run that all day. The 4k works as well and I have run that for a while with no problems. A chunky fellow it is yet it is lightweight. It comes with a cord for a more USB 3.0 extension. Expensive and the bandwidth knowing are the only negatives I can come up with. The bandwidth issue can be handled with a little research.

Works fine, quick shipping. It’s good quality

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!

I tried like eight ways to make my go pro hero seven Black work as a webcam and this literally is the only way for older cameras and GoPro cameras to work as such. It's expensive for a USB capture device but it's WELL BEYOND worth it.
