Elgato Facecam 4K

Overview

The Elgato Facecam 4K is a premium 4K60 studio webcam that brings DSLR-like manual control and the world's first native 49mm lens filter thread to the webcam category. Featuring a large Sony STARVIS 2 CMOS sensor (1/1.8") and a fixed-focus Elgato Prime Lens (f/4.0, 21mm), it delivers uncompressed 4K video at 60fps with HDR support up to 4K30 — giving content creators, streamers, and professionals full creative control over exposure, ISO, shutter speed, and LUT-based color grading via Elgato Camera Hub 2.0. Designed for studio-grade setups rather than casual video calls, the Facecam 4K deliberately omits a built-in microphone, relying on external audio solutions for best-in-class sound quality, and integrates seamlessly into the Elgato ecosystem of lights, arms, and accessories.

Key Highlights
  • Sony STARVIS 2 CMOS sensor (1/1.8") with 4K60 capture — the first webcam with a native 49mm screw-in lens filter thread for CPL, ND, diffusion, or UV filters
  • DSLR-like control via Elgato Camera Hub 2.0: manual ISO, shutter speed, exposure, white balance, adjustable noise reduction, and LUT-based cinematic color grading
  • HDR video up to 4K30 with optimized fixed-focus area (30–120 cm range at 4K) for consistently sharp video in home office and streaming setups
  • Detachable 2m (79in) USB-C to USB-C 3.0 cable, monitor mount with standard 1/4-inch tripod thread, and eco-friendly build with 49mm filter thread
  • No built-in microphone — pairs with external USB/XLR microphones for professional-grade audio in streaming, podcasting, and video production workflows
