Logitechs new Brio 500 webcam is smarter and cheaper than the competition
Summary
As the question lingers on about whether the future of work lies within the four walls of corporate buildings, at home, or a bit of both, Logitech believes its latest product, the $129 Brio 500 Series webcam, will meet the collaborative needs of business professionals and consumers. Ive been testing the newest entry in Logitechs growing line of Brio webcams over the past week and will reserve my final judgment (and rating) for some time later. The camera itself is guarded with a pink, black, or white protective case -- because personalization comes before anything else -- along with a magnetic clip mount to station it above your laptop lid or monitor. By using a magnetic base, you can swivel the camera component of the setup to find your sweet spot, detach it and mount it onto a tripod instead, and even tilt the webcam downward to simulate a top-down recording. The result is a mirrored top-down shot that opens up the opportunity for business users, educators, and even designers to showcase products, written notes, and more (see example below).
