The second-best webcam has solved its fatal flaw | usagoldmines.com

eMeet’s Piko+ webcam was the best new webcam I saw during 2025, but it had one flaw: The version I was shipped for review included a tripod, but no webcam mount. Sometime this year, eMeet quietly fixed this, and you can now buy a “traditional” version of the webcam at Amazon.

Webcams simply have become progressively better over time, but the quality of the eMeet Piko+ was revelatory. It’s an odd little dual-lens 4K camera that performed especially well in the low light cast by a display, with decent performance in fuller, more natural light.

My only problem with it at the time I reviewed it, was that only a tripod option was available. For me, a tripod means an easy opportunity to jostle the webcam, or for one of my kids or a wandering cat to either move it or knock it over entirely. A webcam that can be mounted to a display or screen is up and out of the way.

Interestingly, eMeet appears to have replaced the tripod-mounted Piko+ with the more traditional version, “selling out” of the model I reviewed. I’ve updated the link on my Piko+ review to reflect the “traditional” webcam. If you do prefer a tripod, however, the Piko+ includes the standard screw hole, so you can either pick up a cheap tripod or use an existing one that you may already own.

In any event, I really liked eMeet’s Piko+, and it appears as the runner-up for the best webcam on our list of the best webcams for 2025.

Currently priced at about $90, it hits that sweet spot between cheaper budget models of $35 to $50 or so, and the ultra-premium webcams that are priced at around $200. I can’t say what the Black Friday sales have in store for this webcam, but it looks like the lowest that Amazon has ever discounted it has been about $76.

Pick it up now or wait; but add it to your wishlist. eMeet’s Piko+ is a quality webcam at a quality price.
