HDMI-to-USB 3.0 capture stick that turns mirrorless or DSLR cameras into plug-and-play webcams for 4K30 or 1080p60 streaming, conferencing, and recording.

Cam Link 4K has been glued to my streaming rig for over a year and it's still flawless. Plugging my Sony mirrorless into the USB 3.0 stick gave my coding livestreams and client calls an instant upgrade over any webcam—4K30 for recordings or rock-solid 1080p60 for OBS is as simple as selecting the device in software. Setup is legitimately plug-and-play on macOS and Windows, and it works just as well with my Ubuntu workstation when I use GStreamer. I keep it connected to a powered USB hub and it handles hour-long sessions without dropping frames; the aluminum shell gets warm but never overheats. It's easy to grab the wrong cable or HDMI resolution if you’re not careful, but paired with a clean HDMI output it’s still the most reliable capture dongle I own.

Elgato Cam Link 4K – External Capture Card

2800-lumen edge-lit LED panel with Wi-Fi app and Stream Deck control that mounts to your desk for studio-quality streaming, conferencing, and content creation lighting.

Key Light has been bolted to my desk arm for two years and it’s still the lighting backbone of my studio. The edge-lit panel pushes up to 2800 lumens without hotspots and the 2900K–7000K range lets me match daylight or tungsten simply from the Control Center app—or a Stream Deck button—so I rarely touch the fixture once it’s mounted. The Wi-Fi control is rock solid on both macOS and Windows, and I love being able to dim or warm the light mid-meeting without breaking eye contact. The included desk clamp keeps the footprint off my workspace and the panel diffuses light evenly enough to stay flattering on back-to-back calls. It’s still a premium buy, and you need room for the mounting pole, but the reliable app control and professional output justify keeping it in my kit.
