Selfie Camera
Sony Alpha a7 IIK
Full Frame Mirrorless
I use this as my main “selfie” camera for live streaming & recording videos. It’s now an older model full frame camera but has great low light performance.
Selfie Lens
Samyang 14mm F2.8
Ultra Wide Lens
Wide angle & wide aperture lens I use for my selfie camera. The wide angle allows more of my room to be seen and looks great. It is a manual lens but I don’t mind.
Camera Capture
Elgato Cam Link USB Capture Card
This is what I use to capture video from all of my Sony mirrorless cameras for live streaming. Truly the best option for connecting a camera to a PC.
Microphone
Audio-Technica AT2035 Large Diaphragm Mic
This is a large diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone that’s great for both live streamers, podcasters, & more! It also includes the shock mount.
Audio Interface
Focusrite Scarlett Solo
USB Audio Interface
This is what’s needed to connect an XLR microphone to a PC. Hands down the best audio interface I’ve ever used. Crystal clear audio both in and out!
Vocal Processor
dbx 286s Microphone
Pre-amp Processor
Makes vocals even better! This is a hardware processor that has Preamp, Compressor, DeEsser, Enhancer, and Expander/Gate.
Stream Control
Elgato Stream Deck XL
(32 Buttons)
I never really understood the benefits of a Stream Deck until I had one for myself! I use if for everything, not just streaming!
"Self" Lighting
Philips Hue Play
RGB Smart Lights
These are meant for room lighting but work amazing as “Key Lights” for lighting yourself in front of a camera. (Hue Hub is required to use these.)
Acoustic Foam
"Ship Xinfuren" Generic Acoustic Foam Tiles
I bought 6 packs of these and covered my whole room. There is a huge noticeable difference in sound when walking into my streaming room.
Rear Camera
Sony Alpha A6100
Mirrorless Camera
I have this camera mounted to the wall as my “desk” camera. It’s an awesome little APS-C mirrorless camera! Super clear, great color, and amazing low light performance!
Lens Filter
Gobe 40.5mm Circular Polarizing Lens (CPL)
Used on my “desk” camera. Circular Polarizing Lens are great for cutting out reflections from shinny surfaces such as glass and screens.
Camera Mount
Neewer Ball Mount
With Quick Release
I use these to mount all of my cameras. They have a quick release plate and the “ball” swivel allows you to easily adjust the camera to any angle!
