PlexiCam Mag2 Plus vs. Elgato Conferencing Kit+
Natural eye contact without a $500 teleprompter rig.
Elgato just built a $499.99 desk-mounted system to fix eye contact on video calls. We agree it's worth fixing — we've been solving it since 2020. PlexiCam Mag2 Plus pairs our display-safe magnetic mount with the OBSBOT Meet SE HD webcam: a complete eye-contact setup that puts the camera right over your meeting window. Everything in one box, $199, works at your desk or on the road.
Trusted by executives, sales teams, and founders who live on video.
What ends up on your desk
Both setups put the camera at eye level so you look at the person, not past them. The difference is everything else.

Even a $500 rig proves the point: eye contact is the new professional presence.
The biggest name in creator hardware now argues that better webcams alone can't fix eye contact on video calls — that where the camera sits determines whether you connect. We've built our entire company on that idea. When your camera floats over the meeting window, you look at people the way you would across a table. Clients feel it. Interviewers feel it. Your team feels it. You just don't need to bolt a teleprompter to your desk to get there.
Already have a webcam you love?
The Mag2 mount on its own works with the best USB-C webcams on the market — Logitech Brio 4K and MX Brio, Insta360 Link series, OBSBOT Meet and Tiny, Lumina 4K, Opal C1, and more. Keep your camera, fix your eye contact, upgrade anytime.
Outfitting a team?
Give every seller, recruiter, and executive the same on-camera presence — for less than the cost of equipping one desk with a conferencing rig. Volume pricing available on multipacks for teams of 5 or more.
Eye contact on video calls, answered
Why can't a better webcam fix eye contact?
Because the problem is geometry, not image quality. A camera above your monitor makes you look like you're staring below the person no matter how sharp the sensor is. Fixing it means moving the camera into your line of sight — over the faces on your screen.
Do I need a teleprompter for professional video presence?
Only if you're reading scripts. For meetings, sales calls, interviews, and executive presentations, you need your camera at eye level over your meeting window. A display-mounted webcam does that without new hardware, new software, or a permanent desk installation.
Will Mag2 work with my current setup?
Mag2 attaches magnetically to roughly 95% of modern monitors — flat or curved — and includes a backplate for non-magnetic screens and laptops. It holds webcams with a rear USB-C port, including the Logitech Brio 4K and MX Brio, Insta360 Link series, OBSBOT Meet and Tiny series, Lumina 4K, Opal C1, and Razer Kiyo Pro. No vendor lock-in: upgrade your camera anytime.
What about my laptop on the road?
That's where the difference is starkest. A desk-bound conferencing rig stays home. Mag2 weighs 3 ounces, packs into its included hard shell case, and works the same in a hotel room, a client's office, or a conference green room as it does at your desk.
