Best webcam?

[Southernbarbii]

What type of webcam are you guys using for these crystal clear streams? I have a lovense webcam but I’m not satisfied with it at all. The zoom feature goes rouge at random times as well as the focus when I move positions. It should be noted that this is the lovense 1 model camera. I know that they’ve recently released a model 2. Is that one any better? I feel like if my stream quality was better, that I could maximize my tips. Any suggestions on how to improve stream quality?

I prefer Logitech brio. I do not use the zoom feature because its garbage. I prefer to keep my webcam on a tripod and a super long usb cord. So if someone wants a closer look, i bring them physically closer.

But to get clear streams, lighting. Getting your lighting down will elevate your stream for clearer and crisp video. I use two ring lights.

Turn off your autofocus through your webcam settings. If you dont know how, recommend looking up a tutorial on youtube.

Whatever camera you end up going with getting in and messing around with the settings is a really good idea too (as well as what Audri said about lighting). The logitechs are a great choice. I went with them for many years.

For those download the logitune software as well as the logicapture software. That way you can change up settings. Depending on light and time of day, ideal settings change. The one thing I always go in and do, is crank up the sharpness a bit. If you're really focused on clarity and have a visual preference for more detail, this makes a huge difference. The default settings on Logitech are not ideal, in my experience. I am pretty anal though, at least with that. You can also disable autofus in those softwares too.

Physically moving the camera is usually going to be better than zoom features with most of these cameras. Because a lot of time clarity is lost if you use a zoom feature. I think on some more expensive cameras it's not, but who has thousands of dollars to spare for that.
