The first of a 3-part series. What's your favorite piece of gear you own? Mine is.. something I'll be showing you guys real soon 👀

[StealthJT]

One thing I will say about the C920 is that you can definitely make that thing SING with a few adjustments in OBS. Toggling off auto exposure and dropping it down a notch or two will help with the blown out whites, while tweaking sharpness, brightness, and contrast a little bit will also bring that camera up from the absolute bottom of the barrel it sits at using out of the box settings. Just my little added tidbit!

[OzTalksHW]

The first one was actually my favorite! I think it was the perfect balance of using what you own (smart phone), and purchasing quality, yet affordable items (light + mic). I also think it looks the best. Nice video :)

[wecrashgames]

My first mic was a Fifine too, And it sounds really good! with the right tuning you can get a sound close to a professional mic

[illusiontwitch]

Perfect video with a touch of everything~ humor, good advice, amazing cuts.

Remember the best gear is the gear you own, so if you don’t have the best stuff it’s ok. Focus on your content and what you’re offering. Don’t go broke trying to have the latest and greatest

My 1st mic was the $30 FiFine usb mic, I only upgraded to the Rode Podmic cus I got a bonus from work I was not expecting. Its Seriously a great mic for the cost paired with the Reaper plugins in OBS for all the EQ stuff

[martykauffman]

Oh, looking forward to part two and three and I think that second angle you had during the second one was the best

[moviesaredope]

6:08 that just added some extra engagement. Great Happy Accident 😊

[Dwoalin]

I'm impressed by how well the Go Pro handled the balancing of lighting, etc.

[javalfo]

I'm really liking how the Maono mics sound. They're fairly cheap and still sound and look great. Plus almost all of them have usb and xlr connections.

The original HD Elgato Facecams are turning up used for not much more than a GoPro Hero 4 now! That'll change the budget setup game. I picked up 2 recently (one was £60!) and am aiming to get another two to turn my home recording studio into a kitchen table version of Daryl Hall's house. It's a recording studio, so (like streamers) I've got audio well covered and the lack of mic in a Facecam is....probably a blessing. Well done Harris, as ever. I'm neither a streamer nor gamer but your advice always works for me as a musician and studio owner!

[Rtst]

I always appreciate these Harris. As an adult I'm still chasing my dreams, as a parent I'm chasing them in the spare moments, on a budget. I was designing a crab while watching this, but also, if Mr. Krabs wanted to stream, he would be proud that you wouldn't be spending all his money. 🦀💰💸

[rampagegranny]

I made a setup learning from you! 3 years ago i started knowing NOTHING about streaming and audio/video.... the growth i made. From no cam to and amazing satisfying cam setup with tha avermedia pw513 its amazing! Looks smooth now. ❤❤

[WonderGoon]

I use a pair of ring lights and combined they cost me less than $15. They're off brand lights and I got them at a store called Ollie's Bargain Outlet. They do the job for what I need. My camera is a Logitech C270 (which I need to upgrade, but it works, so that's what's important; $35 at Target) and my microphone is an Elgato Wave 1. The Wave 1 is the most expensive thing I use (besides my computer and monitors, of course).

I started with a Vivitar webcam, so the C270 was an upgrade. If you're looking for a camera that will show your face, a $12 Vivitar will do the job. It won't do it well, but it'll put your mug on the screen. I can't afford a GoPro or anything fancy like that (I just don't make enough (or any) money from streaming to justify spending that amount of money on it).

Great video, Harris. Keep up the good work.

Video released 9 minutes ago and it appeared on my home page. YouTube knows I'm a fan. While I enjoy these videos, feels like it's missing the mark for me, I would love to see more new budget gear like the knockoff camlink with side by side with the original, and more about planning and logistics on setting up a streaming space. There is so much you have to get right from longer cables to power extension leads to connectors, clamps, light fittings, battery chargers, usb extension cables - I literally have boxes of cables and connectors from failed experiments and I bet every streamer does too.

Still enjoyed the video. Amazing the contrast between the pro establishment shot camera and the cheap cameras. 🙂

[TheRealJayGutta]

I loved all 10 minutes of this video that was uploaded 2 minutes ago! Great work!

[Roguenjosh]

hey what the hell, long time sub and just watched the elgato prompter video to find youtube hasn't been putting you in my homepage since this video? I was a 'watch every video' viewer for this channel so its super weird that they just stopped getting pushed to me, anyway going to binge through now

[DecisiveHard]

There are also some ultra-thin lights that come with a remote as well (the cheaper one linked doesn't come with a remote and cannot be controlled via smart plug according to a review).

[geobucky]

I love this! Your last setup is basically what I've got except I got the GoPro Hero 5 as a present way back though the Camlink and Seiren mini were more expensive over here unfortunately.
