PTZOptics PT30X-4K Reviews

Quality for a cheaper price

By Bobbie
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-10-02

Honestly I wasn’t sure what to think. We had just returned our Canon CR-300N because it was HORRIBLE quality in our low lighted sanctuary. Not only that it was too hard to figure a balance in noise/grain and exposure. In the end I went back to researching and came back to the PTZOptics Move 4K- the camera I was looking at before the Canon. Anyway, so far it has blown past the quality of the Canon and we are super pleased. The only draw back and the reason I gave it a 4 star review is because when zoomed out there is a red/orangish tint to the video that only goes away after continually clicking “auto” under the Color menu in the UI Interface. No matter how many times I click apply it continues to go back to the red/orange tint. Zooming in the quality is absolutely perfect. The other amazing feature which blows the Canon away is the auto tracking feature. Though it’s a bit of a learning curve to master in the zoom category, especially if you want lower thirds in the picture too we’re confident we’ll get it down. Overall we are pleased and so happy my search is over for a quality 4K livestream camera for our church sanctuary. Search YouTube for “Red Bluff Bible Church” and see for yourself :)

Some issues but ultimately an upgrade

We got this camera for use during church services to be able to track the teachers on stage. For the most part it works great, the picture looks great and tracking works when there are few people in the room. The main issue we have is when the congregation is full, it will not lock in on the teacher on the stage for tracking, instead it picks the back of a random congregation member's head. If those issues could be resolved it would definitely be 5 stars.
