Logitech Mevo Reviews

My House of Worship has used Mevo for the past year or so with little to no problem. However, that changed today. We lost connection mid-service, lost the live stream, and now the camera refuses to communicate its LogitechMevo . Not to mention this only started after a forced firmware update, very FRUSTRATING!

These cameras where great, once again a company ruins the product with a bogus firmware update! A few updates ago they decided to end support with the Livestream-Vimeo studio software, this is complete bull, these camera worked flawless with the software. Luckily you can still roll back the firmware so they work once again in the software or use NDI, but otherwise this was a stupid decision that makes zero sense, very disappointed!

This is a nice little camera, but it NEVER connects and so it is incredibly frustrating to start and stop--let alone make any changes to the camera settings. I've given up even using it for my kids' games, which is why I bought it. Save yourself the trouble and get a GoPro.

We’ve had our Mevo for some time. Before the move out 2 .0. We previously used LogitechMevo title “Mevo” which still works fine except that it keeps sending me a message saying that this is a legacy app please use LogitechMevo “Mevo 2.0”. But when I try using LogitechMevo it connects to the camera but then says that there is a firmware update required, but then begins trying to upload the firmware and runs into an error. This happened in the middle of an event of which I tested the camera the day before using the old app. During the event it wouldn’t let me use the old app and told me to download the new app and I did and it failed in the middle of an event... for $700 I expected this camera to be reliable but with every turn there seems to be a problem.

I bought the Mevo start setup for the supposed ease of use app.

Took an entire day trying to connect the cameras having to bounce back between the 2.0 and Multicam apps… finally got them all to work and went to use the system a few days later only to find I had to “setup” the cameras all over again and could nor get them to connect again… huge hassle - excellent concept poor execution. Customer service is very timely and helpful but unless u like trading a ton of emails there is no phone support - also not a plus.

Great marketing nifty concept - maybe I’m one of the few with problems I really wanted these to work.

This has not been a good experience. First, my Mevo start constantly would turn off after a few seconds. Then I was directed to the wrong app and could not make anything work. Finally I found the correct app, and after connecting to the camera yet again, it told me I need to do a firmware update. But every time I tried to do the firmware update, it told me that the update failed because the URL was not supported. It would not let me continue until I updated the firmware, but would not let me update the firmware. So basically the camera and LogitechMevo are useless to me right now.

Every time I connect app to older Mevo Camera that is attached to its accompanying Boost battery pack, I get a message that the Boost firmware needs to be updated. Upon selecting the update Boost firmware option, LogitechMevo sits and spins - never completing the update. This notification happens every time I start LogitechMevo . Have had long running troubleshooting ticket open with Mevo over two years and problem looks like it will never be fixed. Quite a shame as it is a good system but I am tired of being annoyed by a defective product.

LogitechMevo arbitrarily decided to switch to the inferior built-in mic in the camera instead of what we normally use, a usb mixer into the iPad input. Struggled to find the way to switch it back. Tried the mic icon several times before seeing the mixer settings at the extreme bottom, allowing me to finally mute the Mevo mic we didn’t want. Several other annoying issues with this thing have crept up over the life of ownership of it. I wouldn’t recommend. Nice idea, poorly executed in iOS.

New app update causes many big issues with Mevo Start. These are just a few I found so far.

1. Camera is not recording even though it shows it is. Nothing on SD card when you get done.

2. If app disconnects from camera, you can’t reconnect. App says “already in use. Disconnect other device.”

3. Camera shut down in settings does not work.

4. App settings for changing picture presets. Outdoor, normal…. Is now a thumb wheel. You can’t see the options on a phone without having it change when you touch the thumb wheel. Bad design. No consideration for how people will be using this.

These issues are just for simple connecting to the camera and recording. I’m afraid what will happen when I try to stream.

Overall - Complete fail on this update. PLEASE fix this quickly.

Both LogitechMevo and hardware are stylishly designed and seem to check all the boxes on features, but don’t do it! It’s nice when it works but it is prone to random disconnects with no possibility of reconnecting during the session. This happens even with rock-solid 5GHz WiFi.

It’s also strange that LogitechMevo demands that Location Services be enabled. That has nothing to do with connecting reliably to a WiFi network.

If you go for it anyway, make sure you have other cameras at the ready and use OBS so you can cut over in real time when the Mevo quits on you mid-stream.

We have been using Mevo for several years, and we’re very pleased with its performance and ease of use. We do many recordings of classes and teachings, and we live stream our church services, as well. During many of our teaching classes, we use iPhones or iPads as external microphones to record in different parts of the room for questions and answers. BUT, with this latest firmware update, Mevo has decided to take the external microphone feature away from Mevo users, and now only make it available through a subscription to Mevo Pro. I do not mind the firmware updates, and I actually appreciate them when they add new features and bug fixes, but to do an update to take away a feature that was already offered at no cost, and now charge for it is uncalled for and unprofessional, and very unappreciated.
We still like our Mevo but we are very disappointed in this “business” decision to take away features that have been offered at no cost for years and now force users to pay for them. Shame on you Logitech!

App doesn’t stream to my selected page.
App doesn’t alway record video for backup.
Did record to backup no audio.
Lost all confidence of on camera talent and their guests. I can’t get the Rtmp key from my phone so on location can’t be done for a fix.

None stop error message while the show is happening error from Facebook reads: your stream has stopped. There was an issue with the streaming. Select new destination to resume.

No, I should need to select a different destination I bought these to stream through the page I selected.?.?.?.?.?

These are total garbage. Forums don’t help.

we are in the middle of a volleyball tournament. I am our team's only videographer. I'm using a Mevo Start I bought almost a year ago. Everything has worked really well until the latest firmware update showed up. Now, guess what? The camera has stopped connecting to LogitechMevo and will not accept a new firmware update. I've reset the camera; I've reset the firmware; I did a hard reset of the camera with the pin hole reset button. Nothing has changed. It's like the camera is frozen, and won't communicate with anything. Logitech's reputation is on the line here. I'm stuck in the middle of a tournament with the only recording device available to capture the footage we need for coaches and players to review for the next, larger tournament and with the buggy firmware update, the Mevo is no better than a $400 brick. One would think that for a multimillion dollar international corporation something as simple as firmware updates would be worked out, then tested in advance so that bugs in connectivity controls would be the least of the issues. One would think. MEVO is all about being a content streaming system that connects the camera to the audience on a variety of wifi, social media and internet platforms through a robust app and software protocol. Very disappointing.

I’ll start by saying I’m not one to write reviews. This may be the first of my life…My church has been using the MEVO for close to a year and have had very few problems—before today would have probably given LogitechMevo and camera 4 stars. But this morning I was forced into a firmware update 10 min before the start of our Sunday Service. Not cool.

Somehow I was able to complete it, but not in time to troubleshoot a new connectivity issue, and we had to proceed without it—no livestream. I am now unable to connect to the camera through our local WiFi, only through the camera hotspot, which is a problem because it means I can’t connect to other devices on the LAN.

Every time I try to connect, LogitechMevo gives me a message that the camera is not responding. I’ve spent almost all afternoon trying everything I can think of, from connecting through other devices, to factory reset, to reinstalling the firmware update and reinstalling LogitechMevo , multiple times. No change.

Maybe I missed something. Hoping this is a bug that will be fixed with a (very near) future update.

I’ve been using this since the first version of LogitechMevo , then updated to the 2.0 version and everything was working fine until today when
LogitechMevo auto-updated itself and I started experiencing a loop while attempting to update Facebook permissions. :(

I use it for a daily podcast and as backup for our main cameras at our church. I love the quality of the picture and sound and how easy and practical it is to use. It’s worth every penny. Thanks Mevo

After downloading firmware update for 2.0 I cannot broadcast using my local WiFi. I attempted to use the old version but it did not allow me access.

Looking forward to getting multiple camera setups with multi channel audio. Thank you for tech support!

I use the Mevo all the time for work as a NDI source, easy to use interface, and great camera quality for such a small package.

We adopted Mevo due to simplicity and it worked well but now with every update something stops working
This is very hard as it interrupts our livestream that is managed by non technical volunteers
