Logitech C310 HD Webcam

Product Information

With crisp 1080p HD resolution, fantastic lighting and great color reproduction that's on the cooler side, this affordable webcam is a great option for most people – from professionals who need to connect with their colleagues and clients to casual users who want to stay in touch with loved ones. It also has a terrific low-light performance for the price, which makes it ideal for dark offices and dimmer environments (a streamer's RGB-lit setup, for instance). Setup is also a breeze, and it works across various devices, making it very versatile. The Logitech StreamCam is one of the best Logitech webcams for streamers and online broadcasters who want buttery smooth and high-quality video without the fuss of setting up a mirrorless camera and a capture card. That isn't to say you have to use the StreamCam for Twitch or YouTube.

The first thing to consider is what you need your webcam for. For working professionals or office staff, most conference calling software such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams will restrict your broadcast quality to 1080p resolution and 30fps to preserve bandwidth. Google meets goes a step further and restricts your quality to 720p as this is the standard resolution on most built-in laptop cameras. Logitech makes a variety of webcams, so choosing the right one will depend largely on your needs. If price is usually a contributing factor, you’ll want the least expensive camera that meets your requirements. However, those exact requirements may depend on why you’re using the camera. It's a pricey product, so even if you're a professional, there might be better value options for you on this list. However, for a business that needs to make frequent group broadcasts, the investment should prove itself worthy of such an expense. How to choose the best Logitech webcam for you When you want the best-of-the-best, with all of the bells and whistles, the Brio Ultra HD Pro and 4K Pro Magnetic for Apple are the only two options on the list that also have a high dynamic range and adjustable field of view. The latter is important because it allows you to change from a tight shot to a wide shot or somewhere in between. Both of these webcams also have 4K/30fps – although most services don’t support it yet. The Logitech Brio is what you need if you’ve been looking for if you need something a little punchier than the usual 720p or 1080p offerings. With a 4K UHD resolution and HDR, the Logitech Brio has brought high fidelity to the world of the best webcams. If that wasn’t enough, it also boasts Windows Hello functionality and a multi-positioning mount that allows you full flexibility on where your new Logitech webcam will go.

The Logotech C310 also has a built in microphone that supposedly has noise reducing capabilities but we found this wasn’t especially effective. On a few test calls you could hear everything being said with enough clarity to understand someone. But also every noise coming from a noisy desktop PC and the entire street outside because of an open window. The 4K Pro Magnetic Webcam includes all of the features of the Brio, and also includes a Logitech Camera Settings app just for Mac. The app allows you to customize and control settings such as color intensity, contrast and brightness, and zoom. How to choose the best Logitech webcam for your needs

Absolutely. While there are other excellent brands that make excellent webcams, on top of newer brands that have popped up, Logitech webcams have become a true go-to – reliable, affordable, feature-rich. The picture quality of these webcams is also great, no matter the resolution, and their build quality is typically great quality. How to make your Logitech webcam deliver better footage You’ll also want to be the only person in your shot as with just a 60-degree FOV you’ struggle to fit another individual in frame. Compared to the Logitech C920 (argueably the brands most iconic product) which offers a 78-degree FOV, this is less than ideal, but won’t cause any problems if you’ll be the only one using the webcam.Video calls in 4K may be overkill for most people, however, and it can take up a chunk of your PC's resources, so we wouldn't recommend it for everyone, even if you can afford its lofty price. Only really invest if you need that UltraHD resolution. You can easily transition from landscape to portrait mode by simply turning the camera sideways. There’s a monitor mount and a tripod mount included, allowing you to pan and tilt, and you can use the included cable to put the camera on a tripod.
