Razer has introduced the Kiyo V2 Pro, a flagship webcam aimed at streamers, creators and gamers who want higher-resolution video without moving to a dedicated camera. It records at up to 4K and 60 frames per second, and pairs a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor with low-light, image-processing and framing features. It is available now for $299.99.
Key takeaways
- Captures up to 4K video at 60fps using an 8.3-megapixel Sony STARVIS 2 sensor.
- Adds AI auto-framing, Ultra-High Dynamic Range and one-click image enhancement.
- Offers an 86-degree field of view, manual controls and a built-in privacy shutter.
- Includes a monitor clamp and tripod-compatible mount; a Camo Pro subscription is included.
4K capture and low-light features
The Kiyo V2 Pro’s central upgrade is 4K capture at 60fps, intended to deliver smoother motion and reduce blur compared with lower-frame-rate video. Its back-illuminated 8.3-megapixel Sony STARVIS 2 sensor is paired with an f/1.9 lens. Razer says the sensor and lens are designed to gather more light and preserve detail in dim environments.
The webcam also supports Ultra-High Dynamic Range (UHDR), which is intended to retain more detail in bright highlights and darker areas. Razer has narrowed the field of view to 86 degrees, down from 93 degrees on the standard Kiyo V2. The company says the tighter view helps limit edge distortion while maintaining image quality at 4K.
Auto-framing and creator controls
AI-powered auto-framing uses pan, tilt and zoom to keep a person in frame as they move. For quick setup, One-Click Image Enhancement automatically adjusts exposure, white balance and noise reduction to suit the lighting. These features target creators who want a more polished image without having to tune every setting manually.
For finer adjustments, Razer Synapse provides controls including ISO and shutter speed, alongside other image settings. The webcam also comes with a complimentary Camo Pro subscription for additional advanced controls through Camo Studio. Software access is a key part of the feature set for users who want to tailor the image to a streaming or recording setup.
Mounting, privacy and availability
The Kiyo V2 Pro includes a clamp for mounting on a monitor or laptop and a universal pivoting mount for tripod use. A built-in mechanical privacy shutter covers the lens with a twist, offering a simple way to block the camera when it is not in use.
Razer lists the webcam at $299.99 in the US, with reported regional pricing of €319.99 and £299.99. It is available through Razer and other retailers. At that price, the Kiyo V2 Pro is positioned as a premium option for PC streamers and creators seeking 4K60 capture and camera-style controls in a webcam format.
