Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra: Quite possibly the best webcam, period

Does the Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra justify its $300 price tag? That was our question, and undoubtedly yours as well. Our answer? If you own an older laptop, absolutely. But the 4K-capable Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra also offers a noticeable upgrade compared to even the latest webcam hardware. You’ll look like a pro while using this camera.

Razer’s Kiyo Pro Ultra claims to offer DSLR-like image quality, and its massive 2-inch-diameter lens certainly reminds you of that right out of the box. In practice, the webcam holds up to its claims. Simply be aware that it doesn’t do quite everything, and one shortcoming in particular might leave you wondering why.

Most of the devices we feature in our list of the best webcams (fave.co/3ldPmFL) step down considerably in price—as does this webcam’s predecessor, the 1080p, $199 Razer Kiyo Pro (fave.co/3TxjZX5). The Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra is for those people who want to look like they’re on a professional-quality YouTube stream, with the camera presenting you at your best. What this webcam doesn’t do, however, is offer Windows Hello capabilities via a depth camera, so you’ll have to use your PC’s default mechanism to log you in. (We have a list of the best Windows Hello webcams, too; fave.co/3lmacXy.)
