ELP 4K Webcam Ultra HD 2160P USB Camera with 5-50mm 10x Optical Manual Focus Lens, IMX415 Sensor USB Zoom Camera for Video Conference, Plug and Play for Windows, Linux, Mac, Raspberry Pi

I tutor jewellery making on line . This camera is superb. I can zoom in very clearly to show individual size 15 seed beads and out again for overall shots very easily . I definitely recommend this camera.

A 4K ultra-HD USB webcam, it’s a zoom webcam with a 5-50mm optical varifocal lens. It’s a USB 2.0 plug and play camera for laptops, desktops, and is suitable for video web conferencing, live streaming, online classes etc and can be used on Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, Raspberry Pi, operating systems etc. when plugged into my MacBook Air M2, and I needed a USB A to USB C adapter to do this, it was recognised within seconds. It comes with a 3mtr USB cable, it’s plug and play, so no need for any extra software or drivers, but it does need certain programs relating to web cams, to be installed on your device, eg FaceTime, QuickTime, Zoom etc and any other programs that use a webcam. It’s important to note, that it works really well in low light. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with any fixtures to mount the camera onto your device or platform, it does have common tripod ¼ screw holes, on either side of the camera. Strangely though, it does come with raw plugs, screws and an Allen key, for what reason is beyond me 🤔, as there is no way of mounting it with these items. The camera comes with a lens cap and the zoom and focus rings are locked down with a tiny grub screw. Loosen the screws off slightly, you can do this with your fingers, and you will be able to adjust clarity and distance on the camera, then lock the rings back down by tightening the screws again. The aperture ring in the centre of the other two, is not locked down. All in all, a beautiful camera, I just wish they would have included some mounting equipment.

I got the WOW effect. The camera image is crystal sweet and with perfect white balance without any tweaking in software. Rhere is plenty options to place it behind the player at the oche or where i finally placed it

I thought this would be a nice little fixed view camera for YouTube work but it's not. Focussing is difficult and the FOV was not ideal. Colour temperature was a bit washed out. Nicely built, glass lenses etc, but overpriced.

This is a small but very solidly built camera, and is surprisingly heavy! Comes with a really long USB cable with a thick cable, giving lots of flexibility in how to place the camera. I plugged it into a windows 10 PC and it worked immediately with no problems. Really sharp picture quality. Everything is manual - focus and zoom rings have finger lock screws, but the appertuare ring does not. Only odd thing is that it comes with screws and wall plugs to fix to a wall - but there is no wall mounting bracket. There is just a standard trips mounting screw.

This is certainly not a cheap toy that's for sure. The ELP 4K webcam is solidly built with a 3M high quality USB lead that connects to the camera body via a short lead using the round miniature 5 pin barrel connection you often see in dash cams and the like so easy to put in a project box etc. this is really designed for a fixed zoom as the rotating collars used to control the zoom, aperture and focus are very easy to rotate having super smooth movement and very sensitive. luckily the zoom and focus have a small lock screw used to secure the collar and prevent any changes (make sure to loosen these before using and don't assume its a throw leaver!) The main body is solid and very heavy considering so this might be an issue if weight restrictions apply to your project. this version comes with no mounting bracket or tripod so keep that in mind as its needed. usage is easy with no drivers needed as promised (I tried it on my MacBook Pro) with the camera connected to a USB C hub that was plugged into the computer and had no issues with picture or power. The main body did get a little warm so ventilation might need to be considered in a fixed installation over a prolonged period but other than that image quality was superb with great colour rendition and smooth images when panning.

This is good webcam with clear picture. Easy to set up and works straight out of box. Cable is good size too. I had two issues with this. 1st is that focus ring is very sensitive so have to definitely have steady hand when adjusting and 1nd it doesn’t just sit on screen so need to put it on tripod or some other surface. Still great clear view and good quality.

This is a curious device. It is based upon a good quality Sony chip with decent low-light capabilities and high resolution and comes with a 10-1 manual zoom lens. It is USB plug-and-play with most operating systems. But it is also very minimal - it comes without any form of mount, but it does have standard 1/4" screw holes, so you could attach it to a tripod. The lens has three rings to adjust zoom, aperture and focus but these have no markings and are very hard to adjust smoothly. The focus is particularly problematic as the control has a very short throw - you wouldn't want to pull focus as you shoot - and focus is critical. The zoom lens, as one would expect on a very low cost camera, is not parfocal, so you have to re-focus dramatically every time you adjust the zoom. All the lens controls - focus, zoom and aperture - seem really intended to be adjusted when the camera is in a fixed position and left. As you can see from the quick test with my cat, the lens is very impractical for most situations. Despite its potential, I am not really sure who or what this camera is intended for - I can't really see it working as a webcam.
