Excellent Webcam and Good Tripod
The Amazon title for this webcam is as follows: "Logitech HD C922 Pro Webcam, 1080p Camera for Streaming Gaming Sessions, Background Replacement, Tripod Included." I was surprised at how small the box containing the webcam AND the tripod were. AT first, I was sure that Amazon forgot to include the tripod, but it was in the box alright! The 3 telescopic legs were in their shipping configuration. As you can see from the photos I uploaded, the tripod works very well and it's quite simple to attach the webcam to it by screwing it on and tightening it with a threaded device that holds the cam on tight. The webcam can be tilted in many positions on the tripod. This package comes with a printed code and description of the XSplit software that you can access and download online from the XSpit website. It's free for 3 months if you choose to use the C922 Webcam for Web Blogs or any other kind of streaming activities. The reviews talk about how this software has the capability of a virtual green screen which seems to be highly sought after. I'm sure there are many other specialized streaming tools included with the software but it's not vital for basic streaming such as Zoom, MS Teams, Skype, etc. I installed it but then later uninstalled it as I don't really require any fancy broadcasting tools. I've read in the reviews that folks using the webcam and tripod with a laptop are not happy with the height of the webcam attached to the tripod. It's true, I'm using it with a laptop and the tripod is pretty small. The webcam isn't high enough to be positioned to be higher than the laptop screen. So, you're forced to place the webcam and tripod off to one side of the laptop itself, so when you're teleconferencing it's a bit awkward when you're looking at the screen and the webcam is looking slightly off to the side of your face. The work around is to find a box that's only a few inches in thickness to set the tripod on top of, behind your laptop screen. That way the webcam is looking over your screen at your face. The specs of the webcam are pretty impressive. The autofocus works quite well and the resolution is quite high. It should be, as this is a 1080p HD webcam with great color saturation, etc. I'm impressed at how fluid moving objects such as your arms, head, body, just move on the screen naturally with no jittering or sluggishness. I'm very impressed with the webcam and my only wish is that the tripod was a little bit higher than it currently is. Read more
