The new Razer Kiyo Pro webcam is bringing the best HDR I've used on a webcam alongside 1080p at 60p, stereo microphones, lens cover for privacy and an adaptive Sony Starvis light sensor.

Holy crap, an actual review that's detailed and comprehensive. You earned my sub, homie.
exactly the details i needed for my new stream coming up! thank you for putting this out there!
That's some nice HDR, just keeping background light sources from being blown out is worth it
Sold! Thank you so much !!! 🙌🏼👏🏼🤙🏼 I’ve never seen a better review video! So thorough and detailed!! Extremely helpful and enlightening, keep up the good work! 🙏🏼
The quality of this video was amazing! I'm too used to home brew content for reviews like this, so it was a breath of fresh air to see everything covered like this, and with such quality.
Much appreciated!
Wow, this looks like one of the best webcams I've ever seen. I'd been wanting to finally upgrade from my cheap webcam for streaming on Twitch, and I'm sold!
Thanks for this complete test and presentation. You made my decision much easier. Very good content. Thanks !
Great focused and informative review with no fluff. You got yourself a new sub sir 👍
Thanks so much for the great review! I was trying to find a reviewer who also has brown skin so I could get an accurate look at the colors this thing delivers.
This review was amazing. Thank you so much!
Stellar video!!!
This was a great video. I very much appreciate the info and also comparisons. Thank you.
Dude...I remember finding your videos YEARS ago. Happy to see you are climbing to near 1 mil subs and still doing your thing.
Same here. I used to watch him years ago, only just found him again
wow. Shopping for a client and trying to stay in their budget (very modest budget). This looks pretty good! I love the way that you make instant comparisons between the Kiyo Pro and your own setup, both video and audio. For the price, the Kiyo is pretty good! Thanks for your review!
Subbed as soon as I saw the Miles Morales wallpaper. This was straight to the point. Thank you man!
I’m a newbie to all this tech and recently decided to start doing ‘Let’s Plays’, so this video was SO helpful
Great review. Thank you for giving us all of the details. Peace my friend.
Outstanding review. Thank you.
Great review. I love the fact that you cover all of the options in a timely manner! What camera setup do you use for your video? - the lights
I saw this webcam on sale and made the buy after watching your video! Very informative!
Super informative video, just subscribed!
Thank you! I'm looking for a new cam to use for my channel, and this seems fairly high quality compared to what I use now, for recording top-down footage of my crafting table. And this seems to be the best one I can buy locally. (And I needed one asap, as I'm starting my next project tomorrow.)
Why don't you have subscribers even after so many years? Your content is upto the mark.
800k subs dude i think your definition of ''don't have subs'' is flawed lol
@@lajeandomthat was posted 2 years ago lol
Thanks! This was exactly the info I needed. I decided to go with this over some similarly priced Logitech products because my primary use case is work meetings, and they don’t let me install any additional software on my work computer.
This guy is better than most ive seen. Keep it up Soldier, GREAT stuff my man.
Great video, thanks for the info 👍
ur one the best tech reviewer out there!!!, keep it up bro!
I appreciate that!
I bought the regular Kiyo on sale a few weeks ago and it was good. Nice to see they improved on the weak spots from that model
your editing is so smooth!
No optimus tech is best for me
That transition to the DSLR at the minute mark -- ooft. Now, I think the webcam looks great, and very promising, but it feels like the ultimate solution for premium quality will always be that DSLR setup. Then again, the price points are so vastly different, and the setup for the DSLR makes it harder for the average consumer to engage with. I'm really considering this Kiyo Pro now, after watching this review!
Clean review. Well played mate!
Thanks!
Great review thankyou
great content bro....I was thinking about updating my OG Kiyo to this one but I think I'm gonna skip it. Thanks a lot man. keep it up!
Nice video! Any chance you could post a 60fps performance test for the Kiyo Pro? It mostly looked like 30fps footage. Keep up the great work!
I really appreciate how informative this video is. I got the original kiyo a cpl of months ago for under $90 for streaming. I love it so far using it & it’s most def an upgrade to what I use to use WAY back in the day. $199 is a bit out of my price range but it’s def something I’ll be watching for sales or price drops come the holidays. That hdr def makes a world of a difference.
It’s actually $100 right now for black friday
It’s on sale on Amazon rn!!
It seems to permanently be around $100 now, and refurbished and used units are even less.
It’s not sale for $90 currently!
60$ on Amazon today :)
Just ordered one. Really wanted the left and right and up and down rotation.
Hey man great vid! :) it's what convinced me to buy this. . Can I ask what recording software do you use with your webcam? Windows camera, OBS etc? I'm currently trying to decide which to use for myself.
watched your video and decided to get this. i don't regret it! thanks.
Fantastic review. Thanks for finding the Mac side software👍🏽 sad it’s extra $ but great to know it’s there...
Thanks man jus bought w video
absolutely loved this video
Pretty dope review + desktop wallpaper - coincidentally, I watched _Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse_ a few days ago. Thanks a bunch! 👊🏻 You've earned a like, a sub, and mad respect for having the mental game to run a YT channel for 13 years, seriously. 👏
Thanks! Sold!
Great review !
Great video and it was good to see what options the software has. This is on a crazy offer at Amazon right now so I'm tempted.
Did you buy it?
@@abed4193 I didnt no.
NIce. Two questions: do you need to have the razer software running simultaneously with zoom- if so is there a delay like the streamcam? Secondly, is there a way to disable autofocus to use for zoom/skype, etc...? Thx a ton!!!
i bought the razer kiyo pro as my first webcam :) happy with my purchase
Regards from Portugal, i liked this review
Perfect review, now i know who to come to for my future tech investments lol
Great review! Subbed👌🙂👍
omg ive not dropped by ur channel for almost a decade omggg missing your vid!!!!!!
great video i subscrive now, can i use this cam on xbox serie x or s? thanks for your time
Great video...thank you, I'm going to get one for Zoom call
Hi! Thank you for your great video! I bought the camera after seeing your video… sorry to bother you but I have one question… I’m using the camera with the Webcam Settings App on my Mac, how can I have the HDR feature using this app? Thank you in advance!
Nice video SKB!
Great video congrats!
Hey great video! Can you tell me what version of MacOS you used to demo the use of the Webcam Settings app? It seems this camera is not compatible with MacOS Catalina (10.15) and I may have to send it back if there is no workaround. I haven't tried the Webcam Settings app just yet, pending more research. Thanks!
Great review, great job! Would subscribe again!
Thank you bro
Nice review, think I will have me 1 soon.
What camera u used while talking? if its Razer Kiyo pro than thats it....i ill buy it
Hey! Do you remember Wii U? Do you still have it and use it? I remember when I watched your review about it in 2012. IT'S JUST AMAZING AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME, HOW TIME FLIES SO FAST. I recently bought Wii U and enjoying playing with it.
Which camera used to make this video? Love the DSLR-style blurring of background.
good video man. thanks
Just picked this up for Black Friday at $99! Haven’t used yet, but super stoked for it! It definitely seems like it’s a huge step better than my $20 dollar Aukey webcam.
Not having the Adjustable Brightness Ring Light on this webcam is a GODSEND! The old Razer Kiyo was a burden to anyone who wore glasses during their stream, showing that bright white circle in both eyes the entire time. Something tells me the Razer team saw this as a big problem, which is why this camera has a hypersensitivity to surrounding light. The ring light on the original was a mistake - putting this camera (for people who wear glasses) on the low end of the buyers spectrum, for a huge markup.
3:20 what camera are you using because you can see a big difference in smoothness between them even though I’m on a 60Hz IPhone
What would you recommend for a more professional video recording setup? Interviews, product overviews, etc. thanks!
I wanna know what camera you used to record this video with, by example your Final Thoughts. Thank you!
I remember that lens that attached to the phone and I even watched your video on it! What Sony cam are you using now days?
That is a throwback for sure 😉. I'm mostly using the Sony ZV-1 and FX9.
Con la razer se ve mate en cambio con las otras es brillante.
I got the kiyo pro on black friday for zoom and the quality is amazing but the image stutters every couple of minutes. is this because I’m using it on a mac or is it software related? it’s a great camera but this is what’s making me consider returning it haha
what camera are you using at the end of the video if u dint mind me asking
The video is great but can you make one showing the software that comes with it. Thanks
this looks like one of the best webcams I've ever seen
The sales on this thing are really good i bought mine for 80dollars a few days ago on Amazon
what's that robot thing in the background? it looks sick!
Super Review 👍
Ive never seen a webcam look this good Hi this is me 5 months later. Elgato facecam is better
Then you don’t really know a lot about webcams...
Im sorry, Did somebody ask?
@@LandonQizilbash you really did him like that 🤣🤣🤣 but yeah you right that Webcam is insane
Yep, I've never seen a Webcam that really seems like worthy competition against Logitech Brio and Streamcam, but this one takes the cake.
@@sorcerykid yea, but I think the Elgato face cam is the champ
yo mate, what cam are you using as ur main cam? thxx
Seems legit but I run a multi cam podcast and I noticed that you can't use multiple Logitech cams (max of two) and so I was forced to get a third party cam for my overhead cam. Point being is that it's really challenging to get all three cam's to look the same. I'm wondering if this cam would have the same or similar problem. Any chance you could another review with 3 cams in OBS? No worries if that seems dumb... definitely seems like a very niche problem
ive been thinking about buying this for a little while now, and needed to know if it worked for consoles, playstation 5 specifically.
They have built-in mic too.
Great camera, let down by the software not running on Mac. The App recommended here, works, but doesn’t allow you to engage the wide angle function, which is why I bought the camera. Found a fix. If you use Zoom, click the HD tab. Camera then goes to full wide angle. 👍
holy hell thank you! I think that still only puts it at it's mid range wide angle, not the full wide angle. This has annoyed me to no end lol, why'd i buy this thing
Thanks and sub. What is the item in the background that keeps looking around, it looks like a webcam with a digital eye?
Yeah interested to know as well
It's called Jibo. Unfortunately, the company went out of business a couple of years ago, but it still has a decent amount of functionality. There are a couple up on eBay, but here's one of my vids on it. kzhead.info/sun/bLiTc75xq4mjpqM/bejne.html
@@SoldierKnowsBest Thank you, shame as it's quite quirky and cool.
I was debating if i should upgrade my Logitech C920 to this cos my current webcam pixelates/has noise when i use in 1080p full screen mode.. this camera seems infinitely better and pops the colours which is good i have 2 sources of lighting i dont exactly have a studio.. but this camera does seem worth the buy if you are planning to upgrade also the comparison between the other Logitech cameras you can see the colours pop much better
But isnt the C920 way more advanced and expensive?
Not sure it still looks like what I can get from my Logitech C922 pro. It's all in how you have your Lighting set up. I'm not a big fan of the RAZER software and I use there keyboards and mice. The Razer Software still feels buggy and that would be one the the first things is why I would not would that webcam from Razer that and the Razer Price TAX they want you to pay for it.. Over all thank you for the information in your video.. o7
what camera are you using to record the unboxing etc?
Watching for prime day!!!
I have a Razer Kiyo and immediately ordered one of these when they went up Tuesday. I’m just watching this video for hype purposes.
I do the same thing after I order things .
Oohh wow, good quality video. Impressive Stuff
Arguably the best webcam you can buy rn
I wish you would have compared it to the Razer Kiyo Webcam as I already own that one and I'm just not quite Convinced on buying the Pro Version. If it was 1080P at 60Fps with HDR on i would consider it even more but to see that I have to sacrifice frame rate to get HDR, and there is no focus adjustment and the led ring light was removed its hard for me to consider buying the new version.
Unfortunately, I don't have the original Kiyo anymore or I would have compared it. I agree with you wanting 1080p HDR at 60 fps. There is manual focus adjustment in the software, but you might be talking about physical adjustment on the webcam itself.
@@SoldierKnowsBest yes exactly i was talking about that textured ring around the pro camera, it could have been used as a manual focus knob since they removed the led function. What a missed opportunity. However I really value your input on this and yeah this camera still seems to win the clarity part of the camera.
@@SoldierKnowsBest yo mate, what cam are you using as ur main cam? thxx
@@ACIDGREENTECHNO Sup man. I'm using the Sony FX9.
@@SoldierKnowsBest thx. mate. woah ook. cuz that vid quality is ultra!
Are you using the built in mic from the Kiyo Pro? I have one and the mic is terrible. I wouldn't expect that, but my cheap 5 year old webcam has a much better mic and I wonder if I need to RMA it.
Would the Webcam Settings App also work for the the Razer Kiyo? (on a budget)
Hi. What camera did you use for this movie? Is this Sony? Thanks
Hi does the field of view operate in the horizontal plane or also in the vertical plane. I need something that captures the hight of the room. Thanks.
what software are you using for contrast and exposure?
I have confirmation form Razer and Streamlabs that if you use Synapse with the Kiyo Pro, no other computer-based application can access it, so I cannot use it with my Streamlabs video encoder for streaming and take advantage of the HDR features. Had to return it.
Is this still the case?
6:13 what's the guy on your background on the right? What's the device?
