Camera Accessories

2x - HDMI to USB 3.0 Video Capture USB C Video - $55

USB3.0 HD Capture

There are cheaper HDMI to USB capture devices. Look VERY carefully . Is it a HDMI to USB (input), or a USB to HDMI (output)? The UBB to HDMI is NOT what you want for video input to your computer. When looking on Amazon use this search term: "hdmi to usb capture". If you can afford it, go with USB 3.0 and at least 1080p.
