PS4 has its own very good built-in capture feature, which can record up to 60 minute chunks of gameplay, however when Share Play is used, the former does not function, as the processing power is used to stream.I therefore wanted to be able to capture Share Play gameplay and this was the reason I ended up purchasing the AverMedia LGP2+ - this was one of 2 models available that could capture internally to an SD card (micro in this case), the other being the Hauppauge which I have reviewed separately.Quality wise the sound and picture are better than I hoped, certainly a step up from the PS4's own internal system.In terms of aesthetics I am not really a fan of the red plastic,

Bought this to replace my previous capture device that had finally given up the ghost.I wanted a 4k pass through as I had also upgraded my TV and wanted the best resolution. It wasn't too difficult to set up - however, even to this day and after loads of emails, tutorials etc I cannot mute my headphone microphone and have all the audio input (speech) via my Yeti microphone on the boom arm. There is always an echo which I simply cannot get rid of. The workaround I have used, is to sync the external microphone with the headset mic but this slightly puts my webcam capture slightly out of sync with the words being spoken.I have upgraded my computer and use windows 10 - it says that an Intel 7

Only got this for the ability to record on Micro SD without a PC, and it does that without any problems.This device worked flawlessly with a 7x1 HDMI hub I also found here on Amazon, so I was able to connect multiple devices (ps4, xbox one, ps3, 360, switch, snes classic, megadrive classic) to the hub and run it through the Avermedia Portable via passthrough. Just press the button on the device and it will record whatever I'm playing. Files are saved as .MOV files.. 60fps and are of high quality. I'm sure some hardcore enthusiasts would see problems with this setup but for me, it works. I dont want to be tethered to a PC.So, for a hassle free way to record anything on your screen (and remember,

My only negative would be a lack of instructions, but support via Facebook have been really communicative in helping me get the product to work. The product does work with a Mac but do ensure you have an i5 processor and better or it just won't work properly - it needs the specs it specifies.Once working the product is great, the picture is really clear and setting it up and taking it down again is a really easy process. Plus, having the ability to record party chat through the device is a really great USP.

Awesome bit of tech for keeping that 4k experience while streaming / recording. (Not it does not record or stream in 4k, it's just a pass through if your wondering). Easy to set up, no issues getting it to run through OBS, and it'll grab your po arty audio as well. Only thing you should know is that you can't charge your controller while streaming as it'll mess up your chat with background static, however that's a party chat / controller issue, and not AVERMEDIAs device.

I opted for this device for the convenience of recording gaming videos on SD Card. Out of the box, I connected the cables, slotted the SD card, pressed the blue light button and it starts to blink red indicating it was recording. Checked my recording afterwards and everything was OK. No complaints here, at least for now. I have had it for over a month, though I only record occasionally and it seems fine so far.Will see how long it lasts.

I really like this bit of kit. It's a lot smaller than I expected. There are two things I would like to see improved. The recording format has far too much compression to be used professionally, especially as editing will add another layer of compression on top. And the other issue is the power function, requiring it to be plugged into your USB or a phone charger or battery pack. I would like to see it have its own internal battery pack.

Was very close to returning this due to me thinking it wasn't working or was broken. Had many issues setting this up, it's hard to even find the software you need since the site is mostly chinese. It's not clear how to setup streaming or anything, but once you get it working it's golden and quality is great. If anything happens i will change my review but the missing 1 star is due to how poor the guide is.

If like me you were wanting to stream and capture footage but not compromise on 4k visuals than you can't go wrong with this device. The only negative aspect is the LGP 2+ does not pass through HDR, so if you upgraded your TV recently to capatalise on the advanced features of the X or even S you will miss out on that.

I love this product, no doubt about it. Its major setback is just the fact that the link to instructions is incorrect, and only takes you to the home screen of their website. I f you are looking for how to set up one of these, I'd just recommend searching up the name of the product, it comes up a lot faster!

Fantastic piece of kit that allows me to stream my gameplay online when using Streamlabs OBS software. If anyone is having any trouble setting up their streams please don't hesitate to contact me @seeaaadragon (twitter, instagram, twitch).

A lot of hassle getting it working, needed to contact support to do so, just a shame so much tech nowadays doesn't just work out of the box, party chat option sounds terrible on this and for those reasons I have taken a star away.

Amazing product. Right out the box works great. Full 1080.60 for streaming.The 4K 60 pass through is great with Xbox X. Only one thing needed HDR pass through but new 4K monitors have HDR emulators so it's not a big deal.

Using it to capture PS4, Switch and Desktop for streaming and recording. Great quality product, but the software for Mac was a problem. We're using OBS instead, so not too bothered and still giving it 5 stars.

I Got Mine A Couple Of Weeks Ago, I Streamed Overwatch aswell as Super Smash Bros Ultimate, I Had A Bit Of Lag While Playing But Still It Is A Great Capture Card To Buy, Even Though It Lags A Bit.
