Add a quality camera to your Mac, Logitech StreamCam with USB C

A few days ago we talked about the launch of the new camera Logitech StreamCam to create higher quality content. Obviously the Mac cameras are fine for certain occasions but they can always be improved with an external camera and the one that Apple offers us in these teams is quite fair.

Today we were able to touch the new StreamCam from Logitech and really the quality that it offers both in the materials of manufacture and in the 1080p / 60fps or 720p / 60fps video quality. It also offers a simple solution to the placement and orientation of it thanks to its adjustable and fully adjustable foot. It also offers an accessory that allows you to place the webcam anywhere thanks to a tripod or similar, and this is placed easily and quickly.

Box contents

In the box we find everything you need to be able to use this camera on Mac or any PC. And it is that modular support is added to fit even on the edge of the iMac, although it is true that it may seem unstable at first, it is not like that and it holds up perfectly. It also adds a rubber finish that is precisely what touches the metal of our iMac or MacBook, so there is no problem of movement or damaging the equipment.

In the box we find Logitech's own StreaCam along with the user manuals and the accessory to place the webcam on any tripod (universal thread). We also have a surprise in the form of XSplit Premium license for three months. XSplit, for those of you who don't know, is a live streaming and video mixing app developed by SplitmediaLabs. This app is mainly used for live transmission or video recording directly from our equipment and with the camera we find three months of this software for free.

Compatible with Logitech Capture

Logitech StreamCam is undoubtedly a multipurpose camera to the fullest and becomes the best camera when using the company's own software, Logitech Capture. Capture allows you to use StreamCam features to automate exposure, framing, stabilization, etc.. so we simply have to worry about creating the best possible content for our followers. You can download Logitech Capture in beta version for Mac totally free from the firm's own website.
