Reviews about this item

Review Summary

2018-09-07T09:59:49

Rated 4 out of 5

Device great, documentation not

I love the device the quality of the video it records is great but it seems to only record uncompressed video and the files are huge. A half hour video took 200G, not a misprint 200G for 30 minutes. Maybe I can tell it to record in another format but that brings me to my only complaint, documentation. There is very little documentation on setting it up or operating it. It works best with it's own software but I have gotten it to work with XSplit and OBS but not Mnaycam. However the 2 it works with have drawbacks so I need to figure out how to use the native software but again the documentation that came with it is sparse and Google isn't helping so far. I would recommend but it is not without frustration which is why 4 satrs instead of 5.
