I really love anything and everything Anker but this product kind of missed the mark for me - at least for the price they are charging.
PROS:
- Sharp looks
- Love the built-in cover
- The ability to tweak the lighting by touch and visibly see whether you are muted or if the camera is on with a visual indicator right on the device is a nice touch
- Camera is sharp
- Speaker is a nice addition and sounds good although I would have paid less to exclude the speaker
CONS:
- Colors on the camera are unsaturated and picture looks "meh" (I know this can be adjusted in Ankerwork app, but haven't gotten it looking that great)
- Light is not nearly bright enough. This is my biggest gripe as it was the main reason I bought it, as I work in a backlit room bc of a window. Hopefully this can be fixed via software update.
- Automatic light adjustment does not work well. Have to do it manually.
- Requires separate power cord and USB-C cord to work
Overall, it's a quality product and it does a lot of things compared to a normal webcam, but I'd argue that it doesn't do any of them particularly well which is frustrating at this price point.
