    Hey Robert Thanks for the post. Can you give us some info regarding performance compared to the Logitech c920? Do you have any recorded content we can see?

    I'd be glad too, can post a link to a edited version of one of my webinars this week-end. I bought the camera as an upgrade to the c920, the biggest difference is no lag and my c920 never was able to stream at 1080p. Plus the Hovercam software is state of the art. We live in the country so all of my streaming uses a wireless connection (Verizon at 30mbps up and down) which is why I use Zoom. I 'm on a new 27" imac.

    Very cool RobertTheiss. I can't wait to see the edited video.

    Okay, this isn't the best test I've done with this camera but it will give you some idea of what 720p looks like, ignor my rambling. http://roberttheiss.weebly.com/

    Hey Robert thanks so much for this video.

    I need to get my hands on a review unit. I know that Craig from the company has been following this thread.

    It looks great (I know Weebly's compression probably doesn't do it justice, but it looks great!). Thanks RobertTheiss. I would love to get a HoverCam 3PO soon.

    Unfortunately I need to update my original review of this product. I discovered some serious issues with the software while using it with Yosemite on my new iMac. Hovercam support offered little help, they did agreed however to schedule a video conference with me to help resolve my issues. Failing to show up at our appointed time did little to enhance my opinion of their support. Perhaps others will have a different experience but I've decided to return the Hovercam 3PO camera and go back to my reliable but not as fast C920.

    Robert sorry to hear you are having issues. I have not seen any real world reviews other than yours regarding this camera. Would love to get some more info from anyone out there using it.
