CamelCamelCamel.
Kinda worth it if you can wait
You can get cheaper from razer AU direct with either a $15 bonus for mailbox signup, or with 15% discount with education signup.
No you can't, the Pro is $349 on Razer
@Bilzar16: Did you even bother to check the price on the website? It’s half price.

Better for education at only $139, and for those without prime at $149, as razer has free shipping.
Local warranty too
@ATangk: Just tried ordering off the Razer website and it's fked. Buyer beware. Processed my payment and the order hasn't gone through. Now having to fart around with support.
@kojihama: i'm on the same boat - ordered but no confirmation email but their chat said i should recieve it within 24 hours. their Australian portal is absolutely hopeless. Any update on your order?
I've had things show up from Amazon international 2+ weeks early. But lately not quite as much. Still rarely as long as they say though.
Great webcam for high contrast environments. Be warned the early firmware is ropey and it can be hard to make updates take - the solution which has worked most reliably for me is download the updater and right click->Run as Administrator (you'd expect Razer to do the UAC thing properly, but apparently not!)
Why is this originally a $350 Web cam? Genuinely interested in what makes this cam so special? Does it do Windows hello?
Bit of R&D work went into this I suspect, as it's got an adjustable lens and utilises a low-light sensor to deliver a 'HDR' image. The quality was never good enough to justify that price, but at $150 it is extremely competitive.
The other competing cameras are the Avermedia PW513, the Logitech Streamcam, the Elgato Facecam, and while they have their strengths, they also have their caveats.
I'd say the Kiyo Pro is a very versatile landing spot until the market evolves further (4K 120 FPS, HDR, etc).
wow… fair enough, definitely not for me and to fancy for my taems meetings.
I will wait for a price drop to $106
I got one of these earlier from Razer.
They seem well built, has a USB c connection at the back, a tripod mount, adjustable stand with tilt and swivel to mount on the top of your monitor, braided USB cable, led indicator when active, plastic privacy cover (but mic can still be on)
Picture quality is good, but not as good as you'll get with a recent phone and e.g droidcam.
Kiyo pro is quite large, but more convenient and compact than mounting a phone.
Now down to $142.50
Another $5 off and it will beat the price after cashback (12%) from Boxing Day and Black Friday sales.
This arrived today already. Firmware update from 1.01 to 1.05 seemed to go without a hitch.
Decent price, but ouch on the shipping times…
