As you probably already imagined if you know the catalog of the brand, this Elgato Facecam MK.2 is a generational leap of Facecam introduced by the company in mid-2021 and which left a great taste in our mouths when it passed through our hands. Like everything we find in the catalog of this technology, this one specializes in offering high-end devices for content creators, although many of them are also excellent for many other usage profiles.

Recently, at the end of 2022, the brand expanded the family with the Pro model, which, as we can already deduce from the name, represents an improvement in the technical characteristics and functions that we can expect from a camera. That move made it clear to us Elgato is committed to this product lineand it seems the same can be said for acceptance among users looking for a high-quality camera.

In response, the tech company has just unveiled and launched the Facecam MK.2, a refreshed version (and a lot) of the 2021 model that, while retaining the 1080p 60fps resolution, adds many new features that translate into a better image capture. And undoubtedly the most remarkable of them is this development offers HDR supportso the captured lighting will be much more faithful, moreover, it will support live recording environment with creative lighting with LED elements and a big difference between brightness and contrast.

We also find a very important innovation in its design, and it is now the lens itself can be tilted both horizontally and vertically, so we won’t have to adjust the camera position according to the orientation we want for the camera shot. After installation and configuration, we can adjust the orientation using Camera Hub and Stream Deck.

Another novelty that will undoubtedly be particularly well received by many is this Facecam MK.2 has a physical shutter which we can deploy to completely guarantee privacy. Obviously, this method is much better than the glues that many users use, but also the removable covers, which have a certain tendency to get lost (and in this case I speak from personal experience).

The Elgato Facecam MK.2 is now available on the Elgato website and is priced at 149.99 euros.
