Elgato, the brand known for its high-quality streaming gear, has just unveiled its latest innovation—the Facecam 4K, a professional-grade webcam that takes content creation to the next level. What sets this camera apart? Interchangeable lens filters, a feature previously reserved for high-end DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.
A Game-Changer for Streamers and Creators
The Facecam 4K isn’t just another webcam—it’s a versatile tool designed for streamers, YouTubers, and professionals who demand studio-quality visuals without the hassle of complex setups. With true 4K resolution at 60fps, Sony’s advanced sensor technology, and HDR support, this webcam ensures crisp, vibrant footage in any lighting condition.
But the real standout feature? Magnetic lens filters. Users can now attach polarizing filters, ND filters, or diffusion filters directly to the lens, allowing for cinematic depth-of-field effects, glare reduction, and even soft-focus aesthetics—all without post-processing.
Why This Matters
Most webcams rely on digital filters, which often degrade image quality. Elgato’s approach brings optical enhancements to the table, meaning better clarity and more natural-looking results. Whether you’re live-streaming, recording tutorials, or in video calls, the Facecam 4K adapts to your creative needs.

Built for Pros (But Easy Enough for Everyone)
Elgato hasn’t forgotten its core audience—streamers and gamers. The Facecam 4K includes:
- Zero-lag HDMI passthrough for real-time monitoring
- Advanced autofocus with face-tracking
- Customizable presets via Elgato’s Camera Hub software
And with a universal mount, it fits seamlessly on tripods, monitors, or even DSLR rigs.
Pricing and Availability
The Facecam 4K is set to launch September 15, 2025, with a $299 MSRP—positioning it as a premium option, but one that undercuts many DSLR alternatives. Early reviews suggest it’s worth the investment for serious creators.
