    Truly plug and play. Works as it says! Seriously, the simplest way to connect any camera with an HDMI out to your computer to be seen by programs such as Zoom, Microsoft teams, or for streaming.

    Works very well. Hooked it up to a LUMIX G7 and works flawlessly. Just make sure to plug into a USB 3 port.

    I highly suggest this for anyone looking to connect their DSLR/Mirrorless Camera or Camcorder to feed high quality video into the computer. On a mac, it was near instant recognition of 4 different video devices I tried. CON: Its a bit pricey for lack of configurations

    I got the cam link to use with my Sony a6000 and set up was so simple. Just plug and play and select cam link is the camera on your computer. Just make sure you get the proper hdmi cord that is compatible with whichever camera you are connecting it to!

    Hello everyone! This is a great product if you have the right camera because in some cases, you don't necessarily need this item. For example, I have a Sony A7 III and a Sony A7, both of which have something called Sony Cam Link. It picks up the video without the need for a video encoder and it's free. The $100 price is a bit hard to swallow since there are options available for a lot less. However, if you have an older camera that doesn't have this feature, then this is a great option if you would like to be able to use it in other situations. It opens up a lot of doors for you. When you do use it, it's super simple. Just plug and play, which is great. The build quality isn't the best and it feels a bit cheap, but you are really paying for the software and the ease of use. I would only recommend it if you need it and the other options don't work for you.

    I use this now to make my Sony Alpha a77II a webcam. The image quality is spectacular, and it is as simple as plug and play. Very impressed with just how easy it works. I'll use it in future to live stream sports games and am looking forward to using it.

    I'm hoping if you are reading this that you have not pulled the trigger on the unrecognizable versions of this on Amazon. This works wonderfully and really is easy to use, but I feel it is overpriced for what it offers. The simple truth is that Elgato has the market cornered and it is in high demand. Once you shell out the cash, you will be happy with the result.

    Purchased to use add my DSLR as a webCAM for College. It was plug and play. Just connect the cables and open your software of choice. (Zoom, GoToMeeting Facebook Live) This can handle 4K video with very little delay. The Clap Test looks clean.

    I haven't had any problems with this. Just plugged it in and it works automatically in Zoom or Quicktime if you change your input settings. Also with OBS. I haven't noticed any lag in recording but it seems to work best on my computer in 720p.
