With a 12x optical and 15x digital zoom, a 170° pan rotation and a 90° tilt rotation, the camera is best suited for production and livestreaming scenarios in small-to-medium spaces.

MARSHALL CV605-U3
If you’re in the market for a more budget-friendly option, Marshall’s CV605-U3 – available in black or white – is a top choice for tight spaces. With a 5x optical zoom and wide 85° angle, the camera best suits classroom use, video conferences and other smaller-scale applications. Capturing Full HD video at up to 1920x1080p resolution, the CV605-U3 is slightly lower in image quality than, say, a 4K-capable model – but makes up for it in price.
