Pros:
- Great hardware, nice build and specs
- Picture Quality is great
- Flexible mounting hardware options
Gimmicky:
- Ring light is nice, but ultimately does not do much to change the image/picture quality in most instances. Like the poster above said, you're better off investing in a cheaper, external ring light. It does not hurt to have in a pinch though.
Cons:
- Everything managed in Synapse, which most people do not care for. I myself have not had any issues with it so far (aside from occasionally "too frequent" updates requiring reboots). If you are already invested in the Razer ecosystem and have a Blade or a Viper Ultimate that utilizes Synapse, it is convenient to also manage your camera in the same spot.
- Not that many configuration options for the camera itself are available within Synapse. Most of the "bread and butter" stuff is there, but not a lot of extras or anything unique.

I'm not. So I have it awkwardly attached to a gorilla pod and clamped to my monitor stand. Works, looks good, but should be able to get even a little angle without this garbage for the price.
I will second the fact the Ring light does make a reflection. If you have additional lighting the room the software and lens take full advantage.

The camera sucks.
The dynamic range is atrocious. You put the ring light on and everything is blown out – so you lower it to minimal brightness and it adjusts exposure... to still be blown out, now with more artifacts!
I use it as my 3D printer timelapse and it sucks for even that.
