Elgato's new webcam can mount lens filters
Elgato has introduced a new webcam, the Facecam 4K, which allows users to mount lens filters for unique effects. This is the first time a webcam has offered this functionality. The camera integrates with any 49mm lens filter, enabling users to attach filters like circular polarizing (CPL) to reduce reflections or use cinematic effects like diffusion. The Facecam 4K records in 4K at up to 60 FPS, using a Sony Starvis 2 CMOS sensor with a f/4.0 aperture and fixed focus. It connects via USB-C and weighs just 0.26 pounds. The camera is compatible with Elgato's Camera Hub software, which offers manual control over various settings, and can also be used with the company's Prompter hardware. The Facecam 4K is available now for $200, while the pre-existing Facecam Pro, which lacks the lens filter feature but has a better sensor, costs $300.
