    Default [Kotaku] Razer's Brilliant New Webcam Has a Built-In Ring Light

    Just in time for this weekend’s TwitchCon, Razer debuts a pair of new peripherals: the compact Serien X microphone and the Kiyo, a ring light-sporting webcam that’s sure to be the next must-have streaming accessory.
    One of the keys to making a livestream really pop is getting proper lighting on the face of the player. With most streamers situated in front of a desk of some sort, there’s not a lot of room for fancy lighting solutions. The Kiyo addresses this issue by surrounding the lens with a ring light with 12 different levels of illumination, adjustable by rotating its outer edge.

    I wish they did a live video review showing the different levels and intensity of the ring light.

    I wonder how powerful that small of a ringlight is, though? I used to have a portable phone ring light, and it was OK for selfies, but not so much for filming clips, for example...

    Same here. The small one was not enough to make any difference. I'm going to get myself a powerful large one.

    There are somr very powerful ringlights that you can mount to any cam or webcam. But even the tiny powerful ones can cost some money. The lower end ringlights are very thin and fragile. But those are stronger than the ones meant for selfies.

    It isn't that in depth but I found a video on Youtube from a site reviewing the cam. Here it is if you want to see it:

    Can you post some recommendation of the powerful ring-lights that can be mounted to a cam/webcam?. This camera has wheels turning in my head. It has me wanting jimmy-rig somethings.

    Rotolight has a series of professional LED ringlights. I picked one up for $40 at a photographer's yardsale. You can even make your own. Search youtube for diy ringlight and just look at all of the options. I got so obsessed with them for awhile there that I started making my own. Just for myself and friends to see if it was possible to cut cost and it turns out that it is.

    This is a great non-complicated method for a diy ringlight and of course you can cut the materials to a smaller scale. But with this version you cant dim it. What you get is what you get once you buy your led strip.

    Be sure to determine if warm or cool lights are most flattering to your skin tone before purchase. I have a dimmable Diva Light that mostly sits in a corner because I like my other versions more. Mosly because its too too big and dries my eyes out faster.



    I like what razer is doing but if the illumination isnt that powerful then you may not get the effect that you need. I use my ringlights because I love the glowing effect and they remind me of early 2000's hiphop videos.

    Sorry I didnt mean to run my mouth so much with that last post. Y'all know how I feel about tech shit. Look at this video on how to use attachments with webcams that have tripod threading (logitech c920&c922, plus microsoft lifecam) those little attachments are under ten bucks on Amazon. You can use them to attach just about any ringlight.

    2 in 1 ring light and webcam?!

    I think I'll ask my regs to get me one. For someone who does a fair bit of traveling, this could be great. you can't always bring your lights and never know what a hotel or friend's house will be like lighting wise until you're there.

    That video is really helpful! This would be great for travel camming... one of my biggest struggles lately has been getting all my cam supplies in a suitcase through airport security without looking like a freak. They always have to double check my suitcase because of my vibrator. XD I could never travel with a full sized ring light, but this is very portable.

    I watched the video all the way but im not fully understanding the hot shoe thing for connecting it to the camera . The hot shoe thing looks like it connects onto the ring light then goes onto a piece on the camcorder but what would u use if ur trying to connect the ringlight to a webcam with a normal tripod hole (like the logitecs we all have)

    No thank you. I bought a Razer webcam (Stargazer) and it sucked, I could barely get it to work after about 2 days of wrestling with drivers etc. and then when I did get it working the quality was rubbish even after messing with all the settings, compared to it's replacement the Logitech BRIO.

    They can stick their ringlight where the sun don't shine, I already have one anyway. Logitech tower over them in quality and price!

    $99 was the price I heard, I would buy one for that if it streams well

    I'm thinking you'd have to get a little creative if you wanted to use it with a webcam.

    You could get a machine screw that's long enough to go through the plastic and a washer. Put the screw through the plastic then put a washer at the bottom and then screw the excess of the screw into the Logitech tripod hole. Then at the bottom where the Pvc pipe is you can drill a hole and screw a tripod plate into the hole.

    You could get a hot shoe mount adapter and super glue or Epoxy it to the top of the Logitech.

    You could do the first step of putting a screw through the plastic with a washer at the bottom, super glue or epoxy a washer to the top of your webcam and then screw the washer into the screw.

    It's finally back in stock on the Razer website! I talked to my brother about it a little, and so I think he is going to get it for me for Christmas. (He told me not to buy it in case someone else got it lol) If no one else reviews it first, I'll show you guys what it looks like compared to my 920 when I get back from holiday stuff.
