The Zoom Camera Experience: A Game-Changing Webinar Solution
I was thrilled to dive into the world of webcams with the Zoom camera series, specifically the Link 2 and Link 2C models. As I held up my fingers to test the zoom functionality, it quickly became apparent that this device is designed for seamless interaction. The AI technology integrated into the webcam allows for a range of features that enhance the overall presentation experience.
One of the standout features of the Link 2 series is its ability to track and follow me as I move around during a webinar or presentation. This is made possible by the two AIS gimbal, which seamlessly follows my movement without any lag or delay. The device also allows for full control over tracking speed and framing, giving me precise control over how my image appears on screen.
Another impressive feature of the Link 2 series is its audio quality, particularly in situations where external noise may be present. The device comes equipped with multiple AI modes that can focus on making sure I sound my best, regardless of the environment. For example, there's Voice Focus mode, which ensures that I'm amplified and clear to all listeners, even in noisy settings. Additionally, there's Music Balance mode, which is perfect for live streams where background music may be playing.
The Link 2C model also boasts an impressive audio feature set, with features like voice suppression mode, which can filter out distracting sounds behind me during a call. This mode is especially useful when working from home and trying to minimize background noise. The device's AI technology also allows for automatic framing and focus on the subject, making it easier to stay on frame and avoid distractions.
The physical design of the Link 2 series has been carefully considered to provide maximum versatility and ease of use. Both models come equipped with a magnetic mount that can be easily attached to a monitor or tripod, allowing for precise control over camera placement. The device itself is also compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around during presentations.
One notable difference between the Link 2 and Link 2C models lies in their feature set and pricing. While both devices offer an impressive range of features, the Link 2 model includes additional AI-powered tracking capabilities that make it ideal for dynamic presentation styles. On the other hand, the Link 2C model offers autoframing mode, which can automatically detect and focus on a subject, making it easier to stay on frame.
In conclusion, the Zoom camera series has set a new standard for webinar solutions. With its impressive feature set, including AI-powered tracking and advanced audio capabilities, this device is an essential tool for anyone looking to elevate their online presentation experience. Whether you're a seasoned presenter or just starting out, the Link 2 and Link 2C models are sure to deliver results that will leave your audience impressed.
The 360 View: A New Dimension of Presentation
I was excited to discover the desktop Top View mode on the Link 2 series, which allows me to capture a top-down shot of my desk almost like having a separate overhead camera. This feature is particularly useful for presentations where I need to show off my workspace or equipment. The device also features Whiteboard mode, which automatically locks in and enhances any whiteboard content.
As someone who has used Insta 360 cameras before, I was thrilled to see that the same AI technology that made those cameras so successful has been integrated into these webcams. With its advanced tracking capabilities and seamless movement, this device is perfect for speaking and giving presentations. The Link 2 series also offers a range of customization options within the companion app, allowing me to adjust settings and parameters with ease.
The Value Proposition: A Game-Changing Price Point
One of the most impressive aspects of the Zoom camera series is its value proposition. With prices starting at $149 for the Link 2C model, this device represents an incredible bargain compared to other high-end webcams on the market. While the Link 2 model costs a bit more, at $199, it offers even more advanced features and capabilities that make it truly stand out.
In conclusion, the Zoom camera series is an absolute must-have for anyone looking to elevate their online presentation experience. With its impressive feature set, seamless tracking capabilities, and affordability, this device has set a new standard for webcams in 2024.

enough to sponsor this video so I can show all the secret features starting with secret feature number one your chance to win 500 bucks this is my like near and dear to my heart doing this for years thank you for supporting the channel supporting me it's kind of way to give back is open to anyone in the world leave me a comment down below tell me the first thing that you would do with one of your new insta 360 cameras tell me a fact about yourself or a joke sure there's a way to contact you though so either write your your social handle in the comment M or if I click on the link to go to your YouTube page there's a way to contact you there so I can let you know if you win a ton of people win these things but I have no way to reach out to them open to anyone in the world that run for 10 days all information though will be down below all right so we are hot off the heels a big events from Google and apple and it is getting nuts to see how much smartphone cameras have changed over the years it's kind of the big thing everybody focuses on at these Keynotes but in comparison how little webcams uh have changed during that same period I'm I'm sure I'm not the only one on a bunch of video calls simly every day I'll let you in on a little secret people notice that potato camera that you're connected with on like let's say hypothetically a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air that means the built-in webcam you're using on your laptop it sucks so it's kind of why now there's never been a better time to actually think about the other camera right we think about our phone cameras all the time but you don't think about the camera on your computer and it's time to start I can't tell you how many people actually recognize when you're using a garbage camera on your MacBook MacBook Air MacBook Pro whatever it might be they look bad makes you look bad and people can notice it's a perfect time to upgrade the camera that other people can see uh with one of these so this is the link 2 it is a super Sleek 4K webcam it's got Advanced AI tracking features built in it's got a 2X gimbal you don't generally see gimbals on webcams and I can show you what that does in a sec delivers same great 4K quality at a more affordable price at a compact size both of these are super wellmade they've got compact designs so both have a touch key that sort of acts like a function button allowing you to zoom in uh on the 2C and start and stop tracking functions uh on the link two both are built with privacy in mind as well kind of entering privacy mode within 10 seconds of inactivity on the link to actually will flip the camera down you can physically see that is not facing you and the link Toc has a physical built-in privacy shutter so you don't have to worry about whether or not the camera is on or off and I don't want to go any further in this video without showing the quality uh which is I think that's what matters of the link 2 Series so here you go here it is uh the audio and video here is like directly out of the link to no special microphone lighting kind of any of that stuff and it kind of giv a peek behind the scenes when we film our videos we really use a big camera complex lighting system professional mics recorders all that stuff but this just a webcam we have no extras here no add-ons just really good camera paired with great software uh the link controller with that software you can do a lot of things so I can like jump in here and I could set the boka so right now I've got it to 100 I could drop it all the way down to zero if I want or some degree in between I can do things like background blur if I want turn it all off if I want to do kind of a green screen effect get stuff in the background make things look little cleaner I can do that here as well I can turn on things like portrait mode these kind of things and have that flexibility uh all inside of link controller I prefer the boka look to be honest and I like it up to 100 so not only does the image I think look good here uh this is 4K 30 with HDR uh but also has true Focus which means if I bring something up to the camera and this is kind of like a magic tra it will immediately focus on it so like boom my phone and like it's focused you could see the logo on the back of it boom it's focused so if you're bringing things in you're presenting it's a really kind of awesome way to do that usually that Focus takes like a lot of time you can see it trying to Rack Focus come in come out it's almost instantaneous here you just bring whatever you're trying to show up to the link two or 2C and camera's going to do the rest so use hand gestures like you do at other 360 cameras if I want to turn on AI tracking I just put my hand up LED indicator blinks a few times now ai tracking turn off watch turn a tracking back on my hand goes up and now if I move it follows me and like we've seen that before on a lot of computers it'll follow you a little bit so I want to show this check this out I mean like I'm still I'm still going backwards I'm going hit Alex back here like I'm still in the middle and I am very very far away so I had it El torso if I get closer though it comes right back so obviously that's an extreme example but if you're walking around screen or you're moving uh you are always going to be in Focus I think that's incredibly cool and also incredibly useful if you want to zoom in on a call you don't have to like hunt for the zoom button it also there's other AI things here too I can hold my fingers up it'll blink and I can zoom myself in Zoom myself out it's cool it works uh if I want to do the Whiteboard example too I just give it a p sign hold it up and I'm set over to whiteboard book if you're more of like a Hands-On person you don't want sort of all the AI stuff happening uh there's a button actually on the camera tap it once it'll turn things off then if you double tap it it'll refocus the frame C so really impressed with the audio quality arguably more important than video sometimes because if you sound like this obviously can be distracting uh link 2 is doing this cuz it's got multiple AI modes that can focus on making sure you sound the best in kind of any situation so there's voice Focus mode too great if I'm like on a call and just want to make sure that I sound good voice suppression mode is awesome if there's a lot of noise going on behind me if I'm having calls at home this one is absolutely key um maybe you're an open Office you got people around you working from home like I am a lot robot vacuums decides pick the wrong time to start cleaning this mode does a surprisingly good job of filtering all that stuff out and there's also music balance mode which is perfect if you got like some background music playing during a live stream for example kind of making sure that people can hear it it's not kind of overpower anyone speaking both the link 2 and Link 2C are phenomenal when it comes to audio and video and both the link 2 and the link 2C have an all new magnetic Mount used to mount to a monitor or tripod but the link two I think packs some built-in extra smarts that can take all of this to the next level the ability to track you as you move with its two AIS gimbal so maybe you want to like stand and give a presentation product demo or you want to move around to be animated as you can tell I'm pretty animated guy ticulate a lot so AI tracking like seamlessly can follow you around and make sure you never accidentally get out of frame you've also got full control to customize the tracking speed and framing right within the companion app um you also got the ability to set things like POS track areas it's like maybe you want to move around in a certain area but not show with a giant pile of like laundry or boxes slightly out of frame you can set that up too so your dirty laundry is literally not being aired to the world most people know insta 360 from their cameras their action cameras and 360 cameras they we've done videos on them they are the best in the industry for video quality for AI and for sort of all everything that goes into making them work and that AI Tech that's been so successful in those cameras is making its way to these web cameras I can do tracking with just a hand gesture without ever touching my keyboard it's got the ability to track multiple people it is perfect if you're doing a group presentation like for example and this is where you want like the pedigree of a company you want a company like in 360 who's done this so well on such a high level to bring that technology to other products and it's something like this is amazing for speaking and giving presentations you've got a built-in desktop Top View mode allows you kind of capture kind of a like a top downshot of your desk almost like you've got a totally separate overhead camera it's also a whiteboard mode that automatically lock in and enhance a whiteboard you know if you're standing and using one for a presentation or demo my first thought was like teachers uh or tutors it's kind of like perfect for that you can transform your phone into remote control and perform Advanced operations effortlessly really easily switch modes adjust parameters control Gibble movements and a ton more this features of available on both the link 2 and Link 2C while link 2C might not have the physical access to move and turn and track you around uh it does have autof framing mode that's automatically detect and focus in on a subject probably you and keep you framed and even move between different people and for what you're getting these are incredible value the link 2 is 199 bucks and the link 2 C is 149 so look like the difference could not be more clear and if what you're looking 4 is arguably the best webcam of 2024 Ina 360 is crushing it with the link 2 Series with both the link 2 and the 2C will serve anyone well any time any condition it just works and if you want to learn
