I’m using this with an EOS R to for live streaming our church service during COVID-19 precautions, and the picture is flawless. It’s ridiculously affordable; I love this.

Content creation is incredibly competition so you want to stand out against the crowd. A great way to do that is with the Elgato Cam Link and a high quality camera! Your viewers will love seeing you in crispy quality.

Nice idea but purchased end of May, five months late it flashes three times and out outputs a black screen. Tried new ports, new leads, different PC with USB 3.0

I use the Camlink together with my Sony A6000, which is an amazing combo. I love how easy it is to setup and how smoothly it runs. Love the design and how tiny it is! My cam-quality on stream was greatly improved when I made this upgrade. Definitely recommended if you want to step up the quality of your stream

I bought this for my BMPCC 6K Pro and it’s literally plug-and-play. You couldn’t ask for it to be any easier. Even though Zoho software wasn’t listed as a confirmed application that it works with, I was able to run my camera on Zoho ShowTime using this.

if you live stream anything, buy this.

I recently upgraded from my webcam (4K logitech) with a Sony A6000 and got the cam link 4K with it. One of the best purchases I ever made. The shear crispness of the image that translates so easily with just a plug and play is great for a content creators everyday life. Definitely recommend it if you want to upgrade your recordings/streaming/content creation. Elgato always has a way to make things easy and efficient. Can’t wait for more products.

Plug & play for my machine–I didn’t have to install anything. Minimal delay from source to obs. It also does not seem to use much system resources for the conversion.

I bought one as a Christmas gift to myself — received it on the 22nd of December. This was working great until the day of a show a week later, when it died abruptly while streaming. Now when I plug it in it simply blinks a few times before powering off, and judging from reviews online many people have this same issue with this product, with answers given by Elgato seeming not to work. I enjoyed using this, but I have to say that a week-long lifespan that seems to be borne out by others’ experiences is worrisome.

This is honestly the easiest to use capture card made by Elgato, and that’s because you can just carry it in your camera bag, plug it in, and use it in ANY program that uses webcam input. It just works. The only thing to pay attention to is that you don’t have too many USB video devices on the same USB controller as you can saturate it and could wind up with video issues. This will not be an issue for most people. Note: I am an Elgato Partner but I bought my Cam Link with my own money. My opinions on this product are honest and my own. I only endorse products I actually approve of and that I would (or did) spend my own money on

If you are looking to improve your web cam video or just stream from any camera that has an HDMI output look no further than the Elgato Cam Link. Easy and simple to setup and use. Just plug your HDMI cable into the Cam Link and plug the Cam Link into the USB port of your computer. One of the best purchases I have made. Excellent quality product can’t beat the price. James

I’ve used this cam link 4K and it died after a couple of months. It blinks 3x every time I connect but it stops working after that.

I recently purchased this to replace my 4K Logitech webcam after buying a Panasonic GH5. Although the initial setup took a bit of fiddling around by unplugging and replugging the cam link in a few times, once set up the experience has been perfect. The video signal is fantastic and I’ve had no issues with reliability. The video is way nicer than the webcam, especially in low light conditions. If you have a compatible DSLR laying around you should definitely get this.

As a professional photographer/videographer, I am super surprised how easy it was to use the Cam Link. It really was plug and play for me, super easy!

I’m using the Elgato Cam Link 4K since some months and its great! It’s really plug and play and it worked directly. Using a Canon EOS80D for streaming and it works great with it!

Recorded beautiful video for a couple of months, but now the video freezes up after being in use only a couple of minutes. My case has been open with Technical Support for a week or so, and I’m getting the sense that this product does not come with any support or warranty. Check out my video review! https://youtu.be/3HBAUNHGma8

I purchased my Cam Link 4K almost a year ago and have loved it ever since. Upgrading from a USB webcam to a DSLR camera paired with the Elgato Cam Link has increased my production quality infinitely. A simple plug-and-play device has done wonders, direct from the camera to USB.

Very good quality. I buy some for my company.
