      Tought choice, I have my stream deck+, which made me put my beacn mix create. Sadly I also had to put away the beacn mic as well because I cant seem to get it to sound good compared to my xlr mic.

    That Insta360 link camera continues to blow me away. No one has event come close to competing with it. I just wish they'd make a static version with the same sensor so it wouldn't $299.

    • @walktxrn
      @walktxrn Год назад +6

      Nutty has a video actually comparing it to the competition, and I actually liked the competitor's video look

    • @DKTD23

    I personally liked the second set up best; especially the mic. I think the Podmic was really easy to listen to, while the third mic sounded to sizzle-y to me. I thought the instalibk was also super cool!

    • @OswinGK
      @OswinGK Год назад +10

      @AugustSixth Год назад +3

      I agree, I feel the elgato wave was nice, but the most flat.. the ride has great punchiness to the vox to keep them very up front, and the beacon deff sounds like there extra eq in the highs of the vox

    • @youspilledthis
      @youspilledthis Год назад +2

      I did too, but he talks only about it being USB while he's using the XLR output. Which will make it sound a bit better...

    • @heistmeister
      @heistmeister 7 месяцев назад

      By the 2 setup you said p60x but there stand p60c

  • @villerasku
    @villerasku Год назад +36

    The second setup was by far the favorite. Not only did the Rode Podmic sound better than the Beacn, but the Insta360 camera was easily the best looking camera.
    One thing I've wondered though with these videos, you really haven't mentioned the Steelseries Sonar software at all. Would be curious to hear what you think of it, seeing as it gives people more control over their audio completely for free.
    Just seems like it would be something that would be right up this channels alley.

    • @EmseeOne
      @EmseeOne Месяц назад

      Yes #2 had best sound and image 👍🏻

  • @junidip
    @junidip Год назад +16

    I think I would prefer the insta 360 link just because having 1080p60 with all that functionality is nice. Plus I think the colors looked slightly better on there than the elgato facecam pro. 4k30 isn't really a huge missed opportunity since a lot of people just do 1080p as standard. Plus, I can punch in more without losing too much resolution.

  • @mberliner1988

    I didn’t know that that Streamdeck Plus comes with the Wavelink software! This is great! I was thinking of replacing my GoXlr Mini but couldn’t think of a replacement I liked. I use a Samson Q9U and I’m gonna have to try it out with the Streamdeck Plus with USB!

  • @walktxrn
    @walktxrn Год назад +4

    Godox ES45 for $100 is basically the Elgato Key Light, but I like it more b/c I don't need any wifi setup and working for the LIGHT to work (which is actually important for me) Elgato Key lights are nice for integrating into streamdecks (which I have 3x) but I prefer the Godox for 1/2 the price and the same/better CRI/control but with a physical control

    I just wanted to say I appreciate you and the work you and your team do. As an older guy, with more road behind him than in front of him, starting a gaming hobby RUclips channel, on a budget, is what it is all about and your informed, thought out, and well delivered information, has guided me immensely. Giving me options allows me to mix and match based on what I can afford and what is available in the Great White North (aka CANADA). I tip my hat to you sir.

  • @ShaunRF
    @ShaunRF Год назад +2

    You could probably list off some honorable mentions at the end, such as the Shure MV7, etc. Just to fill things out even more. Plus, it allows you to throw a few more affiliate links in the description 😉

  • @randomandy2023
    @randomandy2023 Год назад +1

    The noise reduction plugin for wave 3 wasn't mentioned it's in the software but it lets me record in my basement with the air on and the mic sounds crystal clear.

  • @OswinGK
    @OswinGK Год назад +1

    I wish the BEACN had a 'boomier' sound. For the price it seems too bright imo and sounds worse than mics half the price. The only selling point on that mic for me is the software it comes with.

  • @Ziggity
    @Ziggity Год назад +6

    You should give the Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra a look. Hands down the most impressive webcam I've ever used, it beats the facecam pro and insta.

    • @CJ-uh8bk

    I actually bit it and picked up the face cam earlier this summer because not only you, but other streamers doing reviews and recommmendations kept raving about it. Honestly, best buy of 2023. And even better, my sound has stopped randomly choosing my cam. ;-D

  • @drewmorg.
    @drewmorg. Год назад +1

    The wider FOV on the el gato PRO is nice but the cam quality just looks like a typical webcam sorry to say .. that Insta360 though is super nice quality, DSLR like. I'm wondering if the El Gato has an advantage in really low light like night time streaming with lights off .

  • @martykauffman

    Some cool setups! elgato webcam looks not so good. Quick question for you sir, what's up with the painted fingernails? Just curious, is that a cause, a fashion statement, all the above, just trying to understand. No worries.

  • @lilsaid2k
    @lilsaid2k Год назад

    im trying to buy a nice new mic and I watched almost all of your videos and helped picked out a bunch of my supplies that I have. my question for you is which would you rather pick Shure SM7B or the RE20 and why?

  • @joslatbarcelona
    @joslatbarcelona Год назад

    Wow! this comes in super handy so far... I was just some days ago browsing through some of your setup videos as I need to do some recordings - and my USB Rode Podcaster is not up to the task (dynamic, cardioid USB mic). I put a foam on top with a pop filter but nothing... only thing made it better is configuring the filters in OBS... (noise suppression, gain, equalizer, Expander, compressor & Limiter)
    As I understand the Stream Deck + is providing this features through its interface via software (Wave Link) right? so any microphone connected to it, like elgato Wave:3 or the XLR Wave DX... and of course BEACN one.
    On this last one I understand that it comes with all those filters in the mic hardware... noise suppression, limiter, compressor, equalizer, expander... etc... so we can affirm "this is the one" right? (for those of us having issues with microphones...) am I right? :)

  • @cthomas025
    @cthomas025 Год назад +1

    Honestly, I've never understood why the Elgato Key Lights were recommended over Amaran products. It's legitimately just the fact that you can use the Stream Deck, there's no other pros for the Key Lights over Amaran. The Elgato Key Lights aren't even cheaper!

    Hey Chris - nice succinct video. I’m really thinking of uncomplicating my setup - great to see contained options like this and the BEACN dynamic USB mic that’s at a great price point. Haven’t tried yet, but good to have real options for simplified but pro audio gear. 🎉

  • @darkrangersinc
    @darkrangersinc Год назад

    Would the insta 360 be even close to an actual camera for the sake of RUclips? have a Nikon Z7II and some good lenses for it would but I mostly use it for photography. I would prefer to just leave a webcam set up all the time if possible rather than having to take my mirrorless on and off my set up all the time. But don’t want to loose too much quality

Is there a certain type or spot to put the pads on a wall or is it mostly for aesthetics on where they sit? 😊

    hmm is there a way if you go with the option B - let's say USB mic you already have with Stream Deck+ so you have the wave link software - can you actually somehow hear the EQ you put on the microphone? Is it gonna be with huge latency ? I am used to having the monitoring mode on on my current mic and this would actually be a downgrade for me :(

  • @anthonyvillaa

    I personally wouldn't mind picking up that Insta 360 webcam for my streams, I feel like the desktop mode and privacy features alone are worth the price tag!

  • @SeventhDeven
    @SeventhDeven Год назад

    I have a similar situation. I've noticed my my face occasionally looks red-orange. I notice it happens when I have a red, orange, or gold outfit on.
    I think what's happening is the auto white balance is sampling the color of my outfit and it's trying to match the color temperature with it.
    I've learned not to wear warm colors in my streams. Then, my face is a nice, gold color, which is what I want in my streams.
    But that's not what's happening with your webcam. Even when I'm on manual white balance, it's tricky to make my face a gold color instead of red when I'm wearing warm colors. So, that's really odd.
    Maybe it's your background.

  • @Maeykr
    @Maeykr Год назад

    I enjoy the crazy amount of tech that we have available to us these days. It’s super awesome, but I need you to make a video of super high end setups. Like Mirrorless cameras, or shotgun mics so the microphone can finally be out of the way because I personally love those setups the most and have no clue if there’s new tech for that nowadays.
    I know you had a dream one day that a camera had a streamer input. Has that still not have been created by canon or sony?
    I’ve also jumped into audiophile stuff and using some of this streamer gear can remove that. For example I want to use my dac/amp but I also still want to use the mixing from goxlr.
    Update: just watched your video “pro setups waste of money” that’s perfect and you mentioned you wanted to make a video haha. Is the a5100 Sony or canon m200 still mirrorless cameras you recommend?

  • @passive-aggressive
    @passive-aggressive Год назад

    I still can’t believe you are only at 700ish thousand subscribers. And it brings me back to - you have an amazing audience that might not be super niche but it niche enough to make it warm and friendly.
    It seems like even if you don’t have the subscribers you have the networking skills and people know you or at least they know streambeats, which makes you more known but not more popular. Would you be satisfied If you never made Senpai Gaming over 1million?
