That's why I decided to go for the Panasonic HC-V777EG-K Full HD camcorder. [amazon box=”B00T6OFU8I”] This one was okay for the price and really delivers good recording quality. However, this camcorder only has an HDMI output and is not designed for a direct connection to a PC.
I briefly considered recording to the memory card as usual and then editing uruguay whatsapp the file on the PC. But then I wanted to record straight away on the PC, also with a view to live streaming later. So I looked for an HDMI to USB adapter that would convert the signals so that I could use them on my PC.

I then sent it back and ordered the Elgato Cam Link 4K. [amazon box=”B07K3FN5MR”] The image worked without any problems immediately after connecting it. The USB cable goes directly into my recording PC and I then record the video using the free OBS software. Youtube Studio - Camcorder I attached the camcorder as an overhead camera to a Neewer photo video studio rack using a ball head clamp.
