Customer Ratings & Reviews

This worked great for what I needed it to do. I needed a way to transmit from my camera's HMDI-Out to my laptop so I could stream my wedding ceremony through YouTube. It worked flawlessly. The stream didn't drop at any point and there were no quality issues. I used OBS software to stream the video to YouTube. It is a little pricey for what it does, but I can't deny how well it worked.

Another elgato product that does not disappoint. I hooked this up with the cable that DOES not come included if you don’t have it depending on your camera..I have a A7 IV so yeah. This is perfect. Crystal clear picture especially on OBS and easy to use.

I bought this product hoping it would help me with my stream and video work and I was very surprised by the 4k quality it has. I recommend it 100%

I have been streaming for almost 4 years now and this little guy has made all the difference in cam quality. I have not had issues with the cam it’s almost completely plug and play. This little thing is worth the price.

This has a lot to do with the law of diminishing returns. A 50$ but now 100$ is ok and usable. The next step is a 200$ web cam and the quality is shot up by 35%. The next step is this cam link with an old gopro for about 2-300$ with the link and you get 100% improvement. The cam link is great because it is plug and play. You can get some gopros to work with paid and free software but its unintuitive, clunky and requires setup every time. You can use your phone but then your phone is tied up as the webcam and they its back to being on dial up internet lol. The cam link also lets you use DSLR and other high end cameras. This is where it falls off though. DSLR are about 500 to start then you need the lens for another 3-500. The quality bump is about 10-15% for 800-1000 dollars. Is the 700$ worth the 10% gain? If you already own a dslr or better camera, or can get one on the cheap this is a no brainer just buy the Cam Link. So really the cam link is the sweet spot for the most bang for the buck when paired with a gopro, plug and play, and no IT experience required.

I purchased several of these for a livestream -- all worked beautifully. We were filming and saving in 4k/30 and streaming at 1080p. These kept up just fine and worked as expected.

Very good product, This video capture device delivers exactly what it promises.

Elgato products are always fantastic and this 4k cam link is like all the other products I have gotten from them. Simply amazing. Works great

it works perfectly for me - connected it to the Sony A7IV to my Macbook Pro M2 and received 4K30 for video capture on ecamm - no problems yet! Plug and play, the mac found it easily enough and ecamm recognized it for quick streaming.

Really good device and functions as advertised. Best part is it is 100% plug and play. I use Streamlabs OBS as well as standard OBS and it recognizes the cam link input automatically. A little configuration is required, but that’s only for your settings and filters. Does not play well with filter applications like Nvidia Broadcast software (only applicable if using Rtx 2060 and up) but if you’re just looking for a cam through, this is an affordable option to get the job done.

Clear picture no lag. This is a must have if you are doing any long shoots or any type of podcast. This is a must have.

Seamlessly and efficiently makes capturing my Sony EV10, to my pc, an option. 100/100, would recommend for anyone looking to do the same or similar.

Able to connect a Sony a7 III with no issues. It does get warm if left plugged in, even when not in use. So I have started to remove when not in use. Not sure if the heat will reduce performance, but I do it as a preventative measure. The software was easy to use and had no issues. I got it on sale so would defiantly recommend if you can get on sale.

It works Amazing Definitely Worth the Money. The best companion for your Mirrorless camera to transform it into a webcam. Best when used with a webcam with a clean HDMI OUT.

Wonderful! It works just as advertised! It’s plug and play. I was able to plug my Sony A6100 in and use it as a webcam with awesome audio from the camera. It does drain the battery so you will want to have extra batteries for your camera but it doesn’t drain fast so you can use it for alarm 2 hours. Works for me!

Works perfectly with my streaming setup and Sony cam.

Be sure to check online and see if your camera is compatible. Elgato makes great products and this is no different. Works exactly as described.

works well, does exactly what i need to do. i did upgrade after a few months but this is perfect for beginners.

Great Product! Works as advertised. We used it to send our video out to facebook livestream. Just plug an play and facebook automatically sees our video switcher (Roland V-1HD+) as a webcam ready to use for livestreaming or zoom calls using DLSR or higher resolution cameras. Leaving 4 stars on this as I found out that there's a non 4k version that's actually cheaper. (wish i knew that ahead). We don't need any higher than 1080p fro streaming.

Got this device so that my church could use our new Canon 4k camcorder as a webcam for Zoom videos. We had been using a cheap no-name HDMI-USB dongle purchased online with a digital SLR, which worked fine but it would not work with the new camcorder for some reason. Elgato is a more established brand and more expensive, but it has proven to be worth it. It works with the 4k camcorder without a hiccup, just plug and play! One note, I initially noticed a problem where the signal from the camcorder would freeze up during the Zoom conference - the video would freeze and audio would stop in the Zoom app, although the camcorder itself would still be functioning fine. After some research on the Elgato website, I tried the simple fix of using a different USB outlet on the laptop and the problem went away! You really need a USB 3.0 outlet for this due to the bandwidth requirements, but if you have problems with freezing try switching to a different USB 3.0 outlet (apparently not all USB outlets are created equal).
