If you follow let’s players on Youtube or Twitch there’s a fair bet you’re familiar with the name of Elgato. Their capture devices are used by a lot of Youtubers with high subscriber counts because they perform well with a number of consoles. Now Elgato have just released their latest device – the HD60 Pro.

The main features of the HD60 Pro are that it is compatible with all the latest consoles, and is able to stream directly to Twitch or Youtube in 1080p at 60FPS with little latency. This on top of something called Flashback recording which allows you to go back in your latest gameplay and record something after the fact – brilliant for those times when you’re playing and something amazing or hilarious happens out of the blue. There’s also some very nice videos available on Elgato’s Youtube channel telling you how to install the device in case you need instructions; very useful.
