The short version
The Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra is a 4K/30 webcam built around an unusually large sensor, with HDR, autofocus, an adjustable 72–82-degree field of view and an iris-style physical privacy shutter. Tom's Hardware named it an Editor's Choice for its image quality, auto-exposure and white balance, but strongly criticizes the Razer Synapse software and notes the camera's price and bulk. Closing the shutter does not turn the camera off. It suits creators who want among the best webcam images and can tolerate fiddly software.

Common questions
Does the Kiyo Pro Ultra have a privacy shutter?
Yes. Twisting the outer ring closes an iris-like internal shutter, though Tom's Hardware notes this does not turn the camera off.
What frame rates does it support?
Tom's Hardware lists 4K at 30 fps, 1440p at 30 fps and 1080p at up to 60 fps.
Do I need Razer Synapse?
Advanced adjustments run through Razer Synapse, the software Tom's Hardware singles out as the camera's biggest weakness.
