Thanks for the unbiased review, Dr. Jon! We're continually improving and because of feedback like yours and others', look for some great things coming in the next few months.
Wow, that's an awesome tip. Took me some time to find how to remove the base that covers the tripod hole - here's a video covering it: th-cam.com/video/L3N9WlRCxto/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=URTechDotCa
I supported the campaign by purchasing the Center Cam and the light ring. I found out that the light clip does not fit my monitor. Have you tested the Light ring yet?
@@columbusphenixcityinventor2523 hmmm…. I can’t speak for it since I didn’t get the light right since I got lots of lights already for filming purposes.
I believe they may have improved the camera quality since you got yours according to their press releases. I have ordered a Center Cam to see how it goes. I just love how small it is on the screen. Obviously when you are going so small it is unlikely to be as good quality that a much bigger camera. I am comfortable with the trade off.
It has improved and the company needs to do some focused marketing because most if not all the reviews present outdated information that may have been accurate at the time but is no longer true. I've lost count of how many review videos like this that I've felt inclined to correct the outdated information. As a businesses person, company owner and product creator I understand how much reviews can help or hinder even without meaning to do so. I bought mine last week and it arrived today 8/1 and I've come across these outdated review videos after watching the videos on the centercam TH-cam channel. I'd advise anyone looking for current specs to check those videos out before they make a decision or comment. Peace and thanks all the same doc for your review.
The problem I have with the Center Cam is that the focal length seems to be too short. I have the "65fov" lens, but if I'm any farther than 12" away from the camera, things start to get fuzzy. It has a closer focus mode, but not further away, where I'd rather be sitting. Maybe I'm missing something, but there doesn't seem any way around it with this design
Hey Karen, some of the equipment that I use is in the video description. The microphone stand is just any that is compatible with the Blue Yeti mic - a quick amazon search will turn up some options.

It’s difficult to make a good product. I appreciate the work your team has put into this!
Thanks for your review. You convinced me to buy a regular tripod for my Logitech Brio 4K webcam. 😁
The Brio has a tripod mount - you have to snap off the elbow base (it’s designed to snap off). That would help with your selfie stick set-up.

Thanks Dr Jon, I found this really helpful.
I like the detail of your review but was hoping to get a review on the audio as well. Any comments appreciated.
Sorry that totally slipped my mind since I divide up my audio and camera! 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for watching the video! Let me know your thoughts about this video in the comments below

Yes, I’m rooting for them to improve. Let me know how you like yours when it arrives.
@@DrJonTam Agree. I will let you know once I receive and test it.

@@paultamaschke9318 any update? Did the camera improve
Hey, "Dr. Presentation"... try not mirroring your broadcast so that a viewer can read text.... :-P
Good catch. I said I gave a lot of presentations, doesn’t mean I’m good at them. 😂

Hi Jon, can you please tell me what I need to purchase to have your setup? The microphone with stand, light attached to another laptop, etc?
Hey Karen, some of the equipment that I use is in the video description. The microphone stand is just any that is compatible with the Blue Yeti mic - a quick amazon search will turn up some options.
Thanks for the insight. Does it have zooming options? I mean, can we zoom in to bring the objects closer like the regular cameras? Thanks.
From what I see there’s no optical zooming. Digital zooming is on the software side which you decide.
