Corsair Elgato Cam Link 4K USB 3.0 Broadcast Live, Record via DSLR, Camcorder, or Action Cam, 1080p60 or 4K at 30 FPS, Compact HDMI Capture Device

Purchased just now for my live-streaming work. My opinion after a quick usage :-+ve:1. Very good performance, just like the multiple positive reviews on YouTube and Amazon etc.2. No installation required - simply plug and play. Gets detected like a webcam. Very sleek and small.3. Packaging and delivery were very good. A useful USB extender is also provided.4. It works perfectly on my i7 laptop. Doesn't show any lag on other i3 device even though the recommended config is i5.5. Almost no lag or delay.-ve:1. The device gets heated very quickly. I don't think it would be safe to use it outside an air conditioned place. The heating issue serious - it is not mild heating but a potentially device-damaging level!2. With no warranty, it looks like a risky investment.3. Expensive - got it for Rs. 12,748.00 (but you don't have better alternatives)Will update the review after using it for a couple of months.Edit after 5 yrs of use: still going strong. No issues ever. Wonderful product. Paisa wasool.👍

Used this wonderful Capture Card with my Canon 200D.- Works very well on Video Mode (of the camera) as it captures Full HD resolution of 1920x1080. It can stream continuously for 2 hours at 60 FPS setting.- Streams upto 1080p 60 FPS for YouTube Live & Facebook Live, without any lags.- Used with softwares such as vMix, ECamm Live, OBS, Streamlabs OBS and Elgato Game Capture. No problem with any of them.- It's simple plug & play. No need to look for drivers.- Heating: It doesn't really heat that much, as compared to what people are claiming in their reviews. In case you're streaming for about 3-4 hours, try taking a 15-20 min break and allow the Camlink to cool down. It doesn't take beyond 10 mins to cool.Overall, fantastic product!Purchased it for INR 11,349.*EDIT*1. It even worked with my Sony Handycam, which is a 10 year old model!2. I recently bought another Camlink and it works great too.

You can find many devices like this for way cheap but I think it was a good investment… using for 2 years nowSo good so far on both windows and mac

Not only is this piece of crap the most expensive Cam-link on the market, it's also the LEAST USEFUL.DO NOT Go by the Youtube reviews etc. as they are all being paid a hefty commission for reviewing the Elgato Cam Link as the go-to device.Works well in most scenarios, but if you want to record a screenshare tutorial with Cam, straight into your video editor like Camtasia, the video will NOT process i.e. it's staccato and frozen!! This is even after updating the firmware and the Camlink Utility software.In comparison I bought the Congo HD Video Capture card for 10% of the price, and NONE of these problems exist!!! Don't waste your money - Elgato is total Crap! [https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B08P29M6N6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]

Best Purchase

After wasting a lot of time & money trying to find the right HDMI encoders that will work with DSLR's & Camcorders, each one has their issues, this one just works straight out of the box. It works well with my Nikon D7200.The video feed was acknowledged by all video conference apps like Zoom, Google Meet, Skype where the inbuilt webcam of my laptop was replaced by the DSLR video feed at native resolution of the camera (720p 60fps & 1080p 30fps). It can go upto 4K resolution at 30 fps but I don't have the equipment to test it. It also works with video streaming apps like OBS. Elgato's software can be used to do live game streaming as well from your Windows / MacOS machine.Youtube videos were very useful to convince me this was the right device to do the job. Basically any camera with an HDMI output (mini HDMI / Micro HDMI to HDMI) can be used with this simple encoder to make it more useful.

U purchased 3 years back. Now all of a sudden it is not working. Could you please advise me what shall I do?

The Capture card misses more frames.
