Reddit mentions of APEMAN Trawo Action Camera 4K WiFi Ultra HD 20MP Unterwater Waterproof 40M Camcorder with 170°Ultra-Wide Angle Advanced Sensor EIS Stabilization Dual 1350mAh Batteries

I have the C920, it works OK for the head tracking. 1080p at 30FPS there is notable lag even on my fairly powerful machine. I've had it for years.

I have the Apeman TRAWO (It cost me £75). It is a 4K @30fps WiFi Action Camera.

In webcam mode via USB it has a very good quality 1280x720p picture at 60FPS, in camera mode it can do 120FPS at 720p. 60FPS @1080p and 30FPS @2.7K. It has HDMI out and so a cheap capture card at 1080p 60fps would work but you would have the OSD symbols visible. On my 4K screen in webcam mode the Apeman 720p looks better, less blocky, less noise, better colour saturation than the C920 1080p at full screen. Also the C920 tends to react to changing brightness levels in jumps in auto-exposure mode, whereas the Apeman TRAWO has smoother brightness level transitions.

​

I have tested the lag time of the TRAWO in USB webcam mode and it is about 1-2/10ths of the C920 when it's in 1080p mode. Because it is an action camera it can be set to virtually whatever light level you need via exposure values. It has 3 settings for wide angle. On the narrowest it works very well for Star Citizen - I have no idea if the Logitech Brio is much better because I wouldn't pay that price for a webcam. I know the Apeman works perfectly well for me. Like all action cameras it comes with a tonne of mounts and it is not limited to PC use.

​

I'm not recommending any particular camera.. the player/user must decide what is their budget and preference. Be aware that not all action cameras have a webcam function. I recently bought the DBPOWER EX7000 4K action camera in the hope of recommending it for use in the game (I wanted 2 of them anyway).. and for the price (£26) it is a fantastic 4K Action Camera with inbuilt image stabilisation.. but it has no webcam function - but it does have live monitor HDMI out. Their online support is truly amazing, they sent me a free gift of a bluetooth soundbar all the way from China to the UK just because I logged onto their support chat and asked where can I buy spare batteries.

If you were planning on buying an action camera anyway it is worth noting that some of them do work with the game and there is a lot more variety and wider price range of action cameras compared to webcams. It could work out cheaper even if you use a HDMI to USB capture dongle. (£26 Action Cam plus 1080p 60Hz capture dongle is still circa $75.)

​

You can even get fairly cheap used 1080p capable SLR / mirrorless micro 4 thirds cameras half the price of a new C920 HD Pro with much better image quality that work as USB webcams and because they don't have fixed focal length the way webcams do you can put the camera across the room and zoom in to your face with a relatively cheap lens. Again they are not limited to single use like USB webcams. They are the most popular Youtuber talking head type camera. Even the really old ones that you can get for around $40 - $50 have good quality 1080p via HDMI.
