The reason I chose the CamLink is because a couple friends I have who stream also use this device, so I figured this would be the best option since they know way more than I do about what the best hardware is specifically for streaming.
It’s genuinely just plug and play. I had no issues with making it work with my Nikon. HOWEVER, I’ve flashed custom firmware onto my Nikon D5200 that bypasses the auto shutoff timer. If you’re not comfortable with modding your camera (assuming there’s modded firmware that can bypass your camera’s auto shutoff feature), I would find a different camera that natively has the option to disable auto shutoff if cost isn’t an issue.
Integration with SLOBS (StreamLabs OBS) is fantastic. I can use the CamLink 4K alongside my Elgato 4k60 PRO with zero issues. I can also switch between PC and console game scenes and the CamLink is not affected and doesn’t lag.
All in all, I have zero complaints about the Elgato CamLink 4k, and I would recommend this product to a friend.

For this reason alone, the device is useless to me. My plan was to use it to livestream on YouTube. But I don't want all my viewers seeing an autofocus box following my face around the whole time. And I can't disable autofocus because I am a one-man shop making YouTube videos at home.
2) There is different option (without needing this Cam Link device at all!!) to run video from your DSLR to your computer (in my case laptop) in order to live stream on YouTube. At least for Mac it's called "Camera Live" and it's free software. You need a USB cable to connect your camera to your laptop. Then I use OBS to stream the video. It works fine... EXCEPT that while live streaming the fan on my laptop was spinning like crazy, because I suppose this whole operation is very CPU intensive.
I thought that perhaps getting this Elgato Cam Link 4k device would somehow offload the necessary computing to the device itself.... so that my laptop wouldn't spin the fan so crazy fast during the live stream (which is also recorded in the audio). BUT.... THIS IS NOT THE CASE. Yeah, the Cam Link 4k device itself was getting rather warm/hot.... but my laptop fan STILL started spinning up like crazy. (And I have a fast MacBook Pro.) Sooo... the moral of the story.... just stick with a USB cable & Camera Live software like I mentioned earlier... you can actually get a completely clean video output WITHOUT any Heads Up Display on-screen menu items showing... and your laptop cpu fan is going to go crazy anyway, no matter what you do.
No need to buy this device! Save your money.
Additionally I contacted Elgato's customer support to ask about a refund and they said NO. Not willing to help me out. Even though their website table of compatible cameras was (in my opinion) quite misleading and almost false advertising. If you have a different DSLR that can provide clean HDMI out, then the number 1 issue I described above will not be a problem for you.
If you have a 100% compatible camera but are having issues capturing the video you may have an overloaded USB channel and need to remove other devices or buy a dedicated USB PCIE card.
It’s sad...Elgato is a company I’ve been buying products from for years, but not likely anymore. After purchasing the Cam Link 4K on the advice of a consultant, I was expecting their consistent quality that I’ve enjoyed in their other products, like EyeTV, which I’ve been using for years.
This product isn’t even close to their standard. Its big problem is that it consistently overheats and the feed from my camera goes black. Not a good thing to happen during a live event. Happened regularly.
So, I returned it for a replacement, thinking I just got a bad one. But the second one did the exact same thing. Failed consistently right out of the box. And I don’t need 4K. 1080p is fine for me. I’m not sure I know any of my peers who do, since we’re all sending video streams to web services that can barely deliver 720p - so the Pengo HDMI capture device is perfect, at 1/3 the cost and no need for a USB 3 to USB C adapter, either plugs right into my Mac Mini. After the back-to-back Cam Link 4K failures, I can’t help but touch the Pengo every so often to see if it’s warm, and it’s always cool as a cucumber. I’ve been using it for over 5 months, not a single glitch.
Top reviews from other countries
This Elgato card is much more reliable; once the drivers are installed, OBS immediately finds each camera input, (Labelled conveniently HDMI 1, 2, 3 and 4.) -Much easier to work with than single USB 3 capture cards which all just appear with the same name, making it a guessing game when it comes time to select a device.)
The only problem I had was that my computer's low-end CPU just wasn't up to the task, and as a result, video feeds would drop frames and experience ugly hiccups. So I upgraded the CPU to a Core i7 processor with 4 cores, meeting the minimum specs listed on Elgato's website, and the problem was solved.
If you want to run a zoom call on top of OBS, you'll need an even more powerful computer; minimum specs don't quite cut it; I was getting a few dropped frames when Zoom was running.
-great image quality
-small & reliable
-easy to install
cons:
- only supports 30 or 60 fps input (what the heck?)
- OBS sees it as 4K only in multiview mode (when all 4 inputs are displayed at the same time)
- switching between chanels is impossible in OBS, you have to use external software (!?)
- individual chanels are not 4K, even though input is 4K, you get 4K downscaled to 1080p
since you can't really switch between inputs in OBS, you can't input 24/25/50p video, you can't use 4K video, this is a huge letdown. I was buying this thinking that I'd get 4K output, but no. Also, controling this in OBS in real pain. For now, i'll just use four camlink4K usb capture devices. they support 24/25/50/60p (excluding 50/60p in 4K input)
i get it that this was designed for gaming but this could have been a real alternative to black magic's similar card that does support 4K output and non 30/60p inputs. real shame.
