Name: Redragon GW800 1080P WEBCAM
Brand: Redragon

Summary

A 1080p USB webcam with a clip-on stand and a built-in dual microphone, aimed at buyers who want plug-and-play video calls without spending much. Check your room before you buy: owners and reviewers both report weak performance in dim light, and the mount is the weakest part of the package.

Strengths

1080p at 30 fps with a 72-degree diagonal view is enough for calls and streaming.
USB plug and play, no driver install needed.
Works on Windows, Mac and Linux with a UVC driver.
Owners praise the picture quality and color for the money.

Weaknesses

Low light is the recurring complaint: Redragon’s own reviewer reports white grain, and Tom’s Hardware titled its review “Subpar Headshots”.
The mounting clip is described by one owner as kind of sketchy.
The built-in mic adds background noise when first plugged in.
Fixed focus means nothing sharpens as you move closer than 50 cm.
No privacy shutter is listed for the lens.
Owner evidence is thin: two short Webcam Tests entries, no Reddit thread.

Full research notes and sources

Image quality and low light

The maker page is the source of truth for this unit: 1920 × 1080 at up to 30 fps, a 72-degree diagonal field of view and fixed focus starting at 50 cm. Automatic saturation, contrast, acutance, white balance and exposure handle the basics for you.

Bright rooms are where this camera earns its price. In dim rooms the picture falls apart. Only the headline and that verdict could be confirmed; the full test results were not retrieved, so treat the details as unverified.

Microphone and calls

The product title says built-in dual microphone and the maker page gives nothing beyond that. No measured microphone quality is published. One Webcam Tests reviewer heard background noise from the mic when the camera was first plugged in and cleared it by changing app settings.

For a buyer who needs a verified microphone, this is the wrong camera. Plan on a separate headset.

Mounting and setup

Setup is the easy part: USB 2.0, plug and play, no driver to install, and a 360-degree horizontal plus 90-degree vertical swivel for framing. The clip-on stand is the complaint. One owner calls it kind of sketchy, and the camera itself is described as heavy and solid by Redragon’s blog reviewer, so the weight is not the problem — the grip is. A desk arm or a small tripod will serve you better if you plan to move the camera often.

Redragon’s own shop listed the camera at $36.99, with a 15% code BFCM15 advertised on the check date (Redragon shop, 2026-11). Owners paid about $50 in 2021 (Webcam Tests, 2021), and the blog reviewer’s previous 1080p camera cost just under $50 with the GW800 slightly less. There are no recurring costs.

Which model this is

This page covers the Redragon GW800 1080P Webcam as listed on Redragon’s shop page, with a built-in dual microphone. The same camera has also been sold as the GW800 Hitman, and some retailers label a GW800-1 variant. Redragon sells a separate GW800-2, sold as Hitman 2, which is a different model and not covered here.

The naming is not fully clarified, and it matters: the maker page lists a fixed focus lens while Redragon’s older blog review describes an autofocusing lens on the same model name. The maker page describes the current unit, but older reviews may have tested an earlier revision.
