Elgato’s Facecam 4K brings 4K/60FPS capture for under £180

The Elgato Facecam 4K is finally launching. Starting today, the new webcam will be available for creators everywhere, coming in at a $100 discount compared to the Elgato Facecam Pro, while offering some very similar features.

The Elgato Facecam 4K will support any 49mm lens filter, so users can customise their look with useful filters that add effects, such as removing the reflections from glasses, or something like diffusion. For times when you don't want a camera pointing at you, there is an included privacy cap.

Elgato’s Facecam 4K uses Sony’s Starvis 2 CMOS sensor and Elgato prime lens. It can record at up to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, making it ideal for gaming streams, while IRL content can be captured in 4K/30FPS with HDR enabled. The Facecam 4K connects over USB-C and has a standard thread for mounts and stands.

Joining the Facecam 4K is the new Camera Hub software, which you can install to manually change ISO, exposure, shutter speed and other video-related settings. All of your settings can be saved to the webcam's built-in memory too, so you won't have to set everything up again when moving between devices.

The Elgato Facecam 4K is available starting this month, priced at £179.99 in the UK, or $199.99 in the US.
