Once it was in HomeKit, I could add it to my, “It’s showtime!” scene and it would come on when it was time for my live show. Having an app for the light is cool, but I made it even better by using Homebridge on my Synology to bring it into HomeKit. It’s also a smart light so there’s an app for the Mac and iOS that lets me change the brightness and the color temperature. Unlike ring lights, which do provide excellent lighting, it doesn’t give me that kind of crazed white circle reflection on my glasses.
The Keylight Air is an LED flat panel mounted on a tall stand that fits over my displays and gives me a nice flat light. Then he turned off his video lights and waved again and his hand was a complete blur.įor my birthday last year, Steve bought me the Elgato Keylight Air to update my lighting for video. He waved his hand in front of the camera with good lighting and it looked nice and smoothed. You know how when you take a picture at night inside your house, the still images look blurry? He demonstrated the same effect with video. Elgato Keylight Air Keylight Air on My DeskĪ long time ago when I was working, a video guy explained to me how important lighting is to video. I like that Webcam Settings also lets you save your configuration, so if you have controlled lighting, you can have consistent color and quality each time you use your webcam without having to faff about with the settings. The 1080p C920 doesn’t come with any software to control it, but as I told you back in 2014, there’s a great app called Webcam Settings in the Mac App Store that runs as a menu bar app that gives you control over white balance, exposure, brightness, gain and even zoom and pan. I eventually bought Steve a C920, and when his parents upgraded their iMacs to Mac minis and needed cameras and microphones, we bought them C920s which they also use to this day. Logitech still sells the C920 but it’s gone way up to $80 from $64.
I’ve been using it for over 7 years now and it’s been fantastic all that time. Not only was that a great webcam back then, it is still a great webcam to this day. Back then the C920 ran $64 and it was a fantastic upgrade. In January of 2014, I reviewed my fancy new webcam, the Logitech C920 that Steve got for me for Christmas to replace the built-in iSight camera on my Mac. My Trusty Logitech C920 is Still Great After Seven Years
