Upgrading Your Cheap Streaming Setup

You forgot to mention the camera position. That low angle isn’t doing anyone favors. I higher angle is preferred imo

im using an xlr setup with a much better headset and microphone i have a phantom power running it and a audio splitter and a killer mic its all ran through an EQ so it sounds amazing xlr is the way to go... just very expensive in total everything for audio cost me around $700. you can get all of it for much cheaper.

if you focus around linus' eyes you can see hes wearing makeup, its okay guys nobody is without panda eyes

great video it is! just what i've needed with my honor 70 (just had no way to make it a webcam properly =/__\=)

not worth it

Linus I need help please while streaming obs keeps freezing and sometimes my entire pc freezes up causing me to have to hold down the power button to reboot my setup is, NexiGo N60 FHD Webcam, 1TB Neo Forza, 2TB Samsung SSD, NVIDIA RTX 3080, 12th GEN i7-12700KF, monitor is my lg tv for now since my last monitor got broken. I'm also using a razor mic/headset.

I want to move to another country that doesn't have sewer rats roaming around and funking up the air space.

Linus screaming while playing with bots is wholesome

Both cameras look terrible

That huge grip clamp for a mic holder though haha

okay but something's wrong w/ the a5000, I own one and it looks better than that

I have to do video conferencing for work, and I love my Falcon Eyes RX-8T light. It's cheap and portable. I also used my Panasonic G85 as a webcam, and it looked dramatically better than that a5000. Notice I said used...past tense. With my VariDesk, I no longer have a place to put my G85, so now I just have to use my work laptop's built-in webcam. And it's good enough, to be honest. Light well, and you will be surprised how well even the humblest camera can do.

I think I go super cheap until I know if it's something I'm able to put time and effort into. I have very bad back issues and typing hurts, spending time doing this may hurt me too much but I won't know if I don't try. I found that people like hearing me talk from playing online games and maybe I'll be "The funny Cowboy Guy" streaming Tarkov videos or just chatting about cars, guns and just about anything I get into that time of day or night. All comes down to how bad it hurts me to do all of it... I was a driver until I got hit in the rear hard by a lady in a truck, messed my back up even worse then it already was. I hope this helps me go from driving 900+ miles in a 4 day work week to not being able to drive without great pain, I need something to do... something to keep my mind busy!

His a5000 looked awful, it's might as well have been a cheap Chinese webcam. Jesus this video mustve been made in a rush

Can't go wrong with the Rode Podmic if you're after a Dynamic mic.

I got a honey ad with linus and james before the video even started

just in case anyone is seeing this, you can hide all the menu garbage on canon dslr's .. at least the newer ones back to like the t3i

Very interesting. That hammer mic was SUPER poppy on the 'P's. Would a mic like that work okay with a screen in front to fight that? I normally see that on condenser mics.

You can use the elgato microphone and add eq and compression in obs and elgato software have submixes in them to control your music game sound and all of that stuff

Great idea for a video, but I feel there are several weird advices, for example nowadays Sony cameras are absolutely amazing, but these old models that are recommended are not near as popular as Canon models from same time period, there's a ton of bodies and lenses out there, I'm sure others must have pointed out that there is both EOS webcam utility and if that's not ur cup of tea or ur on Mac etc.. dont forget abt the Magic Lantern mod you can use.
What in the world is this recommendation abt 30fps shutter speed 1/60? It just makes no sense, if u really want to create that movie style look with lack of smoothness (which is fine) then just go for 24fps, if u already decided to go for TV look and 30fps or higher just do 1/30, or 60fps 1/60, cellphones both record and can display video with amazing refresh rates, stop recommending antiquated 'rules', whats next, reciprocal rule?

I have been thinking about starting to stream and if i want to stream Nintendo games (without a emulator ) i will get a evga xr1 by saving 150,000 channel points on the teamevga twitch channel it shouldnt take too long if i start do doing a bit bigger prediction bets and with a little luck

Can someone please link the audio interface?

My 0$ streaming setup was easy: old camera with broken LCD, cable I had laying around, desk tripod I already have. Headphones I already use. Microphone is the cable I use for my headphones.

But I am willing upgrade 1500€ for a better audio solution: premium headmounted microphone, open headphones and an audio interface as well as good cables.

Is the elgato wave 3 good I’ve just got it as a gift

Linus: I stream you stream we all stream for I STREAM
Apple: WRITE THAT DOWN

Why the hell is Evon in the thumbnail?

What monitor is tust

Umc22 is solid!

What about a capture card from Hauppauge? They do those as well as TV tuner cards.

ipwebcam ? has he not heard of Obs Ninja ??

Do a cheap gaming and streaming rig

Anyone else got annoyed when Linus kept resizing OBS Display Capture??

For "a pacifist Canadian" you did way too much shooting.

the chocolate rain reference was so good lol

"I'm a pacifist canadian" lol

If you're reading this and you can afford an Aston Origin, please don't plug it on a Behringer sound interface( Terrible pre-amp ), get something that will do your mic some justice even if you're on "budget". like a Focusrite, Presonus or even Steinberg.

i have a Galaxy S9 with some major display burn-in issues, and honestly it is not worth getting the screen replaced in India, so I use it as a excellent webcam.

Why not just use Philips Wiz LED lights, then the colour temperature can be adjusted on the fly by software. You can save the hundreds of dollars too

I feel like the original setup was better, hmm, except maybe audio.

Canon has software to connect your camera via USB and outputs a clean image. It’s only officially supported to the Rebel T3, but it works just fine on my T2i.

Canon EOS 200D (Rebel SL2) has webcam utility software, allowing for a really good image over USB. Really easy and high quality image!
