@@LiveType Because the whole consumer trend for the past 10 years has been "quiet" products, so everything started becoming a passive product. When high end equipment like routers, modems, TV's, switches or really anything expensive and electronic, generates a lot of heat. But for some reason, the quiet consumer market wants them to be quiet, so manufacturers just don't put fans on at all, or put really bad/slow fans. I bought a $600 router, and I swear that thing would melt itself if I didn't put a fan over it. I hate people who want quiet products now, i really do. They've ruined a lot of things. Even computer power supplies have started coming with "quiet" or "passive" fans on them, because of this shit.

Yea and with that experience, there's no quality in Logitech, Razer or Corsair (Elgato) gaming stuff. It's just expensive because they can pull it off with the brand. Same devices from random cheaper marketplaces can be had at 80% less because that's what they cost to make and ship in reality. The only HDMI capture devices I've not seen die from random stuff are currently from Atmos and Avid and that's starting at a grand and 3 grand each respectively.

Generally, reviews actually address things like this. Problem is that a lot of companies that pay for promotion will demand the "unboxing" and/or "initial impressions" be in separate video that's released before the actual review. In that way people who are only partly interested or not very knowledgeable will only see positive impressions unless they specifically search out negative reviews, which rarely occurs with the targeted individuals.

Apple... Tesla... Microsoft... You know what? You're absolutely right! The biggest companies DO always make the worst crap! Well, technically everything they sell is either old, outdated, or stolen technology anyway. Apple takes tech from 4+ years ago, pays Samsung to make a screen for it, and says they have the newest and greatest thing ever. Tesla throws a bunch of Panasonic batteries in a car and puts it in a tunnel in Vegas. Microsoft steals ideas and code from Xerox and other companies and calls it their own. I guess being honest really doesn't pay afterall.

@@angrycapsicum6027 I still have several computers running Windbloze 10 (although 1 less since I upgraded one to Linux the other day). I _REFUSE_ to even try Windows 11. Ever since the release of Windows 95 it's been a widely known fact that every OTHER (as in odds vs evens, if that makes more sense) version is just a completely horrible waste of everyones time and money. Windows ME, worst thing ever, XP wasn't horrible. Vista? second worst thing ever, Windows 7, usable. Windows 8? Why did they even bother trying? Windows 10, actually pretty decent. I know I skipped a few versions there, but you get the point. I've heard nothing but bad reviews on 11 since before it was even released, and I know better than to waste any time at all even trying it. Will Windoze 12 be any better? Based on the consistant pattern that's been going on for 28 years, it SHOULD be, but more and more people are switching over to Linux every day, and it may be too late by the time Winderz 12 comes out. I'm not actually much of a gamer myself, but I do know Linux gaming support has been growing very fast the last few years. It's definitely worth trying out. You CAN set it up in a VM if you want, or just get a bootable live distribution and boot it from a thumb drive to check it out.

I think not plugging your own channels all the time is the right choice. Some channels end up spending like 30 seconds to a minute every video plugging stuff. It gets old. But part of your style is, you jump into a video, you do the thing, you shoutout your supporters and we oggle Frank like stalkers. It's simple, effective and awesome! I never need to skip past all the same plugs that other content producers put in every, single, video.

8:28 In terms of setting up cameras and lights, what you want for your foot-cam is to set up a brighter light further away so that your camera doesn’t have to battle exposure because of your foots close proximity to the light (Inverse Square Law). Any camera will likely do that, even much more expensive ones! Stick a light further away that’s brighter and that’ll solve the exposure inconsistencies immediately :)

The smell of that Bluetti power supply may be due to the type of plastic it was made with. For example, one of the fountain pens I own (I'm an nerd I know) has an odd smell near the ink reservior, almost like moldy cheese. Doing some research, I learned that vegetal-resin is likely the cause of that smell. That doesn't mean the plastic is cheap, it's just a problem with that type of plastic. Edit: Be sure of what plastic you're dealing with, and NEVER use alcohol on Vegetal resin, as it will literally fall apart.

Uh, this is so relatable. Did some video work around 10-15 years ago, constant issues with wireless microphones, PCM recorders, cameras, frame grabbers and stuff (and all that gear cost like thousands of dollars in total). Streaming is especially terrible, it always felt like a miracle that it works and was not freezing, blacking out, crashing, or de-syncing. My worst issue was with Olympus LS-11 PCM recorder, it sometimes started to insert half-a-second of noise every ~30 seconds on the recording, without any indication (so, no noise on the monitor headphones or the live levels), it was really insidious. So, yeah, the only thing that actually works is to do N+1 or even N+2 redundancy everywhere during recording and don't have any single point of failure for each of streams (video or audio).

Love the effort and stuff you make for us, I recommend going with stuff that doesn't need batteries, and don't heat up over time, for capture cards for your camera getting a elgato camlink or a avermedia live cap would be good, remove the battery from the camera and use a ac adapter, usb webcams suck, especially new ones that get hot, heat kills everything overtime

With most webcams (including the Kiyo) the framerate is affected by the auto exposure. You can use OBS (or whatever) to adjust the settings and reduce the exposure which will make the motion smoother at the cost of looking darker. The Kiyo is absolutely capable of decent 720p60 under the right conditions.

Or you could just use a larger sensor, iso and not have auto shutter speed which is what webcams should be doing! Idk what all these webcam manufacturers are doing but its so stupid cause they all stink for hundreds of dollars. I built my own out of a raspberry pi zero w and a raspberry pi hq camera module for like 75usd and it absolutely thrashes any other webcam that isn't a straight DSLR with a capture card. 1080p 30 but it's a constant 30 and it even works well in dim conditions.

You don't need OBS to do this, there's a button for it in Razer Synapse, but opening the Configure Video (or Windows Properties) for the device allows you to disable Low Light Compensation for any webcam that exposes it via a UVC config. This will drastically change how well something is captured, and for some low-spec cameras it was mandatory if you didn't want 18fps. I use a kiyo myself, I have provided test footage; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mteAnNh6vbjIj6c.html

The trick with the Kiyo is not only going down to 720p, but also turning auto exposure off and cranking it down in the "Configure Video" menu in OBS in the Device Properties. If the exposure is set above -10 (towards 0), it starts getting choppier and choppier.

The PCIE based Magewell cards have been the most reliable capture device. Still, even with that we have the occasional issue with HDMI capture that needs a reset of the signal in the magewell driver panel(maybe once or twice a month), SDI works perfectly though, 400 days uptime with no issues. As for webcams, the Logitech Brio 4k has been our go-to for good quality.
