Our take on the Elgato Cam Link 4K
The Elgato Cam Link 4K is a small capture adapter that turns a camera into a USB webcam, for streamers who want a DSLR or camcorder face cam in OBS. At a tracked $89.99 it sits in the upper half of its $74.99 to $99.99 range since June 2026, so a sale could save about $15.
The listing names 1080p60 and 4K60 capture, but 4K60 only works with a camera that supports it and the newest Cam Link 4K. It also connects camcorders, action cameras and iPhones. Latency is described as low, so video and audio stay close in sync. It works with PC and Mac. It is rated 4.6 across 14,032 retailer ratings, a big pool for a capture device.
