I can’t get any application to use the promised 60fps mode on the camera, maybe it needs the applications to enable it, but I’ll have to wait and see if Logitech updates their application. The only port set that has issues is the 10gbps group on the back of the TS3+.Īs for the final item, I don’t have any strict proof, but I suspect this is related to the lack of application support on M1 chips. For the moment, the StreamCam works perfectly in one of the Thunderbolt ports, the front USB-C port, or with a C to A adapter in most of the other ports. I’ve yet to approach Logitech support, but I expect the result won’t be any real resolution as it looks more and more like a hardware issue. I emailed CalDigit’s support, and within 24 hours I had back an extremely detailed response, to which I deleted and can’t share here, but Scott Macpherson received a similar reply. The CalDigit incompatibility was a head-scratcher. M1 support, I couldn’t expect Logitech to have that ready just a month or two after the first actual hardware launch, after all even bigger companies are still trying to support it.

The camera itself is jam-packed full of features 1080p 60fps, auto-focus and exposure, USB C, and even a 1/8" screw mounting base to place it on a tripod if needed.
I decided to suck up the cost and pay for a real webcam, something with decent features and image quality, and in the end, I picked up the Logitech StreamCam for an eye-watering £129. When shopping, options were quite limited online, and the cheap camera I bought in the past had tripled in price over the last couple of months. Having a webcam available makes the meeting flow a little easier, especially when dealing with new people, which was precisely my situation due to starting a new job. I usually wouldn’t bother, but with the current situation, all of our meetings are remote. I use my M1 in ‘clamshell’ mode when at my desk, so I had to look around for a webcam. Thankfully, the CalDigit TS3+ plugs that hole nicely by providing a wide selection of ports and DisplayPort output. The M1 suffers from a distinct lack of ‘standard’ ports, which is excellent for the form factor, but it isn’t beneficial for desk usage where you need a collection of accessories plugged in. When I switched back to an M1 MacBook Air, I picked a CalDigit TS3+ as my desk dock.
