Scenarios

The Bedroom Studio
Advantages
Many people get their start in their bedroom, and believe it or not, it is a great place to start since your bed and curtains will help improve the sound in your room.
The Spare Room Studio
If you have a spare room, you can create a space that can rival a real studio. In this example a standing desk is placed in the middle of the room with lights attached directly to the desk. LED lights fill the wall with any color you desire and a rim light shines from behind to add some depth to your view.
Standing Desk
An adjustable standing Desk with Wheels is a great versatile starting point for many.
Cable Management
This cable management accessory mounts to the metal bar of the desk and allows you to hide the cables.
10FT Power Strip
A 10 foot power strip will allow you to keep cables plugged in at the desk and gives flexability to where it can be plugged in.
RGB168 LED Panel
These versatile LED panels can be powered by AC or batteries and accurately project colors or shades of white.
The Portable Multi-Angle Event Live Stream
If you want to control multiple video feeds for a sports event, concert, etc, but still need it to be portable, OBSBOT has a pretty solid solution with their interface that connects to their wireless cameras.
OBSBOT Talent
2 HDMI inputs, outputs in 1080p via Ethernet, WiFi, USB Modem, or USB-C. Pairs with NDI Cameras.
OBSBOT Tail Air
These PTZ NDI cameras can pair directly with the OBSBOT Talent for the ultimate portable production setup.
The Basic IRL Setup
Most premium phones have built in image stabilization, so you can get away with using your hands or a cheap tripod.
Toneof 60
The tripod has adjustable height and can be used as a selfie stick.
The Mid-grade IRL Setup
While most premium phones have built in image stabilization, adding a gimbal makes the video even smoother with the added benefit of being able to attach lights and microphones easier.
Hohem M6
The AI Camera allows Person Tracking without Software.
The Premium IRL Setup
If you want to stream with a mirrorless camera, you can use a OBSBOT Talent or a YoloBox to combine multiple Internet connections to keep the stream going on the go. Although you can stream directly to live streaming networks from the device, it is still recommended to use a Cloud Streaming Service (such as StreamYard or EVMUX) in case the connection still drops.
