Elgato just surprised us the introduction of Elgato Neo, a new family of products which, in addition to appealing to content creators, also addresses the needs of other user profiles who are looking for a device of the quality that we rightly associate with the brand and which is also easy to configure and manage, but for those for whom the high-end designs of the brand may be a little beyond their needs.

To satisfy this type of demand, Elgato Neo maintains the brand’s commitment to quality, but simplifies its implementation as much as possible and also chooses an elegant and decent white designdesigned to visually fit into “cleaner” and brighter environments than we typically find Settings from many content creators. This is also a response to the increasing prevalence of white equipment, components and peripherals, which I personally find very attractive.

The Elgato Neo family consists of five components, many of which you’ll quickly recognize by name because they share them with devices in the brand’s catalog. They are the following:

• Facecam Neo: web camera.
• Wave Neo: microphone.
• Capture Neo game: external video recording.
• Stream Deck Neo: programmable button panel.
• Key Light Neo: LED reflector.

Let’s see below what each of the components of the Elgato Neo family offers us.

Facecam Neo

We start the review of what the Elgato Neo family has to offer us with the Facecam camera, which bears the name of other Elgato models and which has huge recognition from the content creation community. In this version, Neo offers resolution image capture 1080p 60 frames per second with continuous autofocusand integrates a fairly clear goal, F/2.0 with an optical body that provides a field of view of 77 degrees, which corresponds to 23 mm.

It has a monitor mount for ease of mounting anywhere, but it also has a 1/4 thread, which is standard for tripods and articulated arms, so we can either buy one that suits our needs, or you already have one, use it with with this Facecam Neo. And for those who are most concerned about privacy, it has an integrated physical cover that we can use cover the lens completely.

The Facecam Neo webcam will be on sale soon on the Corsair website, if you’d like you can sign up to be notified when it’s available. Its price is 99.99 euros.

Wave Neo

The image is nothing without sound, so the best companion for the travel camera we just saw is this microphone, which is also called another device in the brand’s catalog and brings it to the Elgato Neo family. Here we find a condenser microphone with cardioid patterncapable of capturing audio in the range of 20Hz-20kHz and with a sampling rate of 24bit/48kHz-96kHz.

To guarantee its stability, it has a metal leg, and to facilitate its assembly, it is compatible with 1/4, 5/8 and 3/8 threads and uses USB-C for its connection, which makes it compatible with a large number of devices. It contains a foam pop filter and integrates a mute button and a minijack connector for connecting headphones. In addition, to facilitate its organization, it has an organizer that we can use with one or two cables.

The Wave Neo microphone is now on sale on the Corsair website and is priced at 99.99 euros.

Capture Neo game

Compatible with input and signal transmission with maximum resolution 1080p60 and 4K60 HDR, we find a scanning device that has very small dimensions, but offers functions that perfectly meet the needs of the vast majority of users. In addition, it integrates all its ports on the back of the device to facilitate mounting directly on the desktop.

Although, as is common with Elgato, the company offers its own software to get the most out of its devices, this sensing device is also 100% compatible with the most used applications for both video recording and live streamingwhich makes it a very interesting option for streamers and content creators, but also for communication and teaching professionals and other profiles who resort to audiovisual to develop their activities.

Stream Deck Neo

For many (including me) The Stream Deck family represents the Elgato spirit extremely well, so it seems more than fitting that the Elgato Neo also has its own edition. In this case we find the console eight customizable buttons, information bar and two touch controls which will allow us to quickly switch between the different key layouts we configured earlier.

Stream Deck’s main strength has always been how easy it is to customize the functions of its keys, and this was greatly improved a few months ago when Elgato updated its store where we can download all sorts of content for Stream Deck, from actions and macros to sound effects and icons . I think, and I have said it more than once, that we are talking about one of the most practical devices that we can add to our daily lives.

Key Light Neo

Have you ever tried to record a video or have a video call in low light conditions? I can tell you that I have tried this on several occasions and it has always been a disaster. And while this can be tolerated in personal communication, if we are talking about professional communication and/or recordings, it is much less acceptable. And that’s the place LED reflector from the Elgato Neo family, a very complete solution and at the same time easy to use.

Able to provide shine up to 700 lumenswith a maximum consumption of only 15 watts, it integrates controls with which we can quickly adjust both the brightness level and the color temperature, which we can set between 2,900 and 7,000 degrees Kelvin. It has a diffuser that provides more even lighting, plus prevents glare when using it. It also has a 1/4 thread to facilitate assembly.
