@@erikpaullive it seemed to do fine (wired) until we added the Go device. Will try wireless again using the travel router. That will simulate a more game experience. But it too may require a wired setup.

@LynkSpyder try putting two cameras on the 2.4 and 2 on the 5 with the pixel on the 5.

Our shop Wi-Fi is 2.4. So both the Pixel and the iPad Pro are connected to the same frequency SSID. A subsequent wired connection test has proven that the radio in the Pixel is the primary limitation.

​@@LynkSpyder that is what I figured. I wonder what would happen if you put them on separate radios, or just did one at a time. I don't really trust the 2.4 frequency for more than a camera, maybe two.

@@erikpaulliveCaptured on the Pixel. Agreed on the dropped frames. But may have been a wireless issue. We will be doing side by side tests using a wired connection (to eliminate the wireless variable)

@LynkSpyder you should also do a wireless comparison, because that is what the majority of people use. Also, I do think that putting the device on a 6g radio and all the cameras on the 2.4 and 5 will help b

@@erikpaullive One thing I neglected to mention...actually I forgot all about it, Mevo MultiCam was set to Ultra Low Latency. This most definitely impacted the results of the primary camera. And as the mic receiver was on this camera, it certainly impacted audio as well. We will adjust this to Standard when we perform the Apple/Android side by side tests.

​@@LynkSpyderthat is likely the issue.

I actually don't recall. But I would not trust autofocus with the configuration. Additionally, this lens does not have the ability to adjust aperture manually. And the adapter will not control it either.

Certainly lighting is a major issue (and one we don't deal a lot with in the baseball/softball world, with the exception of night games). Your biggest issue is that while the sensor in the Plus is 4 times as large, it is also quite a bit older than the sensor in the Start. And the Start is a 4 year old camera. That's a lot working against you, unfortunately. As far as other cameras, about the only other option I can recommend is a smartphone with a decent camera in it. As far as interfacing with your board, as well as possible other camera options, I would check out @JasonHoffmanYT . He is a pastor in Texas that does extensive testing on many devices, especially for use in places of worship. Keep in mind, he may suggest several cameras that I would not personally recommend. We take hard line against companies that are solely owned and made in a particular off shore nation. Yes, most electronic devices are made in that particular region. However, if both the software and hardware are controlled within that region, it means you may have to load software on your phone or computer that may not have domestic oversight. That's not a line we are willing to cross. Unfortunately, it always crosses off the most economically viable solution from our list. I hope this makes sense and is helpful.

I unfortunately can't answer that. We have gone through 3 of these and can't keep the keys from breaking off. We gave up on the product. It is a great concept. But ultimately is too fragile for our use. Perhaps with Logitech acquiring them, they can clean up the design. Though, sadly the Logi MX keyboard suffers the same fate.

@@dw221 Absolutely. Mount the camera upside down. This angle allows the lens to get closer to the fence on a curved backstop.

There are cheaper and possibly better ways to record than the Mevo Start. But what you are paying for is the steaming encoding and the Mevo ecosystem; specifically the multicamera ecosystem. In that regard, it stands on its own.

@@LynkSpyder yes indeed that is my use case too. i want to get 5 of these to live stream. currently i use a 6-gopro system, but it's very cumbersome wiring them all, when mevo offers lightweight solution (with what seems to be better connectivity and battery life). not looking for 4k cinematic footage or anything by any means. but to address my own question and close the topic, i did just find an online schematic filing that the IMX307 is on a custom PCB, so i don't think it's an easy off-the-shelf replacement.

@@1Samuel1524 did you download the Rode Central app? I think that is required. I'll try to do a follow up video with more detail. What Android do you have?

@@LynkSpyder, yeah, I've had that installed to use with all my other rode microphones. But as soon as I plug in this receiver, it just shows a USB icon indicating that it's some kind of connection but that's all it shows.

​@@LynkSpyder, I got it figured out. The big hefty looking cord that looks all official, that one doesn't work. The little flimsy looking cord that also comes with it, that's a go.

@@KPGuitarStudios I think it is a product of the GH7 fed directly via HDMI. The Core was wireless. There are settings to adjust the delay. We will try again and see.

Awesome, it's just exciting that you can have such a capable portable rig. I had a feeling that Logitech would make some progress in the micro 4/3 Realm and if that includes intelligent connectivity then that is a major win for the system

We have certainly looked at that camera. But it has some age on it (2020) and the price doesn't seem to have reflected that. Bang for buck, the GH7 beats it on several points. If there is enough interest, we could certainly rent one and compare features with the GH7 and Core. Also, check out this link from BH where they compare the 2 cameras: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/compare/Panasonic_GH7_vs_Panasonic_DC-BGH1/BHitems/1832646-REG_1597415-REG

@@LynkSpyder understood and I agree. I was primarily interested in the compact form factor in terms of mounting solutions.

usually replacing the SD card with a quality card will fix it. Buy from a reliable source like BH Photo and not Scamazon (which allows the sale of counterfeit products). And always format the card from the camera.

That would probably be a good use case for those cameras. We have several and will try to test them. Keep in mind, if it works at all, it will most likely require the Mevo Pro subscription since they are not a Logitech device.

Just wanted to follow up to say that we tested the Mokose C100 and it does work with the Mevo MultiCam Beta app. You have to use the bulky blue Mokose USB cable. But it works with either a USB Hub (with a USB-A port) or a USB-A to USB-C adapter. Thanks for suggesting. This has a lot of potential.

@@LynkSpyder Thanks so much! I tested yesterday with my iPad mini 6 and the Mevo Go app just to check the connectivity. I was able to get it to work but needed a hub with USB C into the iPad and then a USB A to USB A between the camera and the hub. USB cables always confuse me. I have so many but never know which ones have both power & data.

For recording, always a GoPro (currently the HERO12). For streaming, either a Smartphone for single camera. Mevo Core and Start for multi camera.

Currently starts at $57. Add-ons vary in cost. Add-ons are different depending on the camera you use. GoPro HERO12 doesn’t require any additional-ons.

Yes. This lens has motorized zoom and focus that can be controlled with the Mevo Application.

I have not seen this issue (if it consistently drops at the same time). I would certainly create a ticket with Mevo on that. I would also try to rule out the Internet source by experimenting with a different source to see if the issue goes with the new source.

Here are a couple things to consider: 1.) Make sure you are streaming to Facebook Page or timeline (not group...sorry to repeat this. But some folks are still trying to stream to Groups). 2.) Go to your app store and check both apps (Mevo and Mevo MultiCAM) to make sure you are using the latest version. Upgrade if needed. 3.) If you have only tried one app (single or multi) be sure to try the other. 4.) If all else fails, uninstall the app(s) and reinstall. That should clear any stored credentials to FaceBook. 5.) Lastly, if you were previously a group and created a Page to get around the new change, FaceBook now requires a "presence". That means it will take time and a following before you will be able to stream to the page. If none of these options help, let us know and we will continue to walk with you through the issue.

​@@LynkSpyder All great advise...I, in my exploration, discovered that our iPad would not accept the most recent applications due to age of device/ supported ios/ etc. I was able to load the app on a much newer cell phone and we are off and running. All this to say thank you. The compatibility between Mevo and FB is also contingent upon the compatibility of the device to keep up with all the software updates required by the device. This may be useful for others thus this explanation.

@@bentay1716 excellent!

What issues are you having? We have tested several things. The only thing that doesn't work is streaming to groups, which we know is a Facebook issue (by design). If you are still having problems, I would uninstall and reinstall the app.

@@LynkSpyder That is what I am thinking of doing. Our Mevo camera just tells us that due to privacy it can't access our facebook page. It looks like it gets to the page where it would put in our Facebook information and then moves to a page which tells us that due to privacy it can't go any farther. I did change my security settings on my Facebook page, but no dice. Will try uninstalling when I get back to work for tomorrow. Thank you!

@@LynkSpyder We got it up an running. Turns out the android tablet we were using only was running Android 7 and you need Android 8. We got a new tablet and we are streaming again. Thank you and have a great week!

In this test, we used a Hollyland wireless HDMI transmitter. That and the other camera were tied to a Yolobox Pro which handled the switching and recording.

@@LynkSpyder is this the correct Mokose.- MOKOSE HDMI Camera, HD 1080P 60FPS Digital Security Camera, Industry Digital Camera with 5-50mm Telephoto Zoom Manual HD Lens.

It was the 4K Mokose. But the lens was a 12 to 120 mm.

Check out our rolling review for this camera. In the last post, we show sample footage using the Olympus 9mm lens. It is a prime lens with range focus. Just be aware, Mevo is not recommending that this camera be mounted to the fence. So while it is possible, if they do not recommend it, they may not support defects if they think it came from an impact. lynkspyder.com/blogs/productreviews/logi-mevo-core-camera-2024

I'm really sorry, Paul. I'm not understanding what you are asking.

It's what we do. 😀

Meh, this issue was resolved by switching cards. Have since used the 11 and 12 and have not seen this issue. And the 12 is great.

@@LynkSpyder it didnt work for me I tried almost everything now and my MicroSD was corrupted in the camera seems error "SD error" and it tries to formate it, it happened suddendly recording and now I am not able to open this up using different types of card readers, computers, phones, etc, microsd seems to be dead with a lot of footage on it we are desperates

@@LuchitoyVale I would focus on the card. Get a 32gb sandisk ultra/extreme. Then make sure to do the following: 1.) Format the card in the camera often; never externally . 2.). Make sure not to power down the camera too soon after stopping recording. Make sure to give the camera enough time to save the fall. 3.) Also make sure you are running the latest version of the camera firmware.

@@LynkSpyder thanks bro I tried all this steps and of course it worked with another card coincidentally I have this same extra microsd due this came with the camera the faulty one I got it from Amazon, now I am worry about the data on it I dont know how recover it I watched hundread videos trying even toothpaste on it and nothing works to recover the footages :(

@@LuchitoyVale just a suggestion: do not trust cards from Amazon. They sell knock off products and you have no way of knowing if the card is a lower quality counterfeit product. As for getting the files off your bad card, try MiniTool Partition Wizard. You can download a trial to see if it finds anything. If so, you may need to buy a license to recover any files.

I know the previous video only had the right audio channel. But this video came out with both channels (meaning, mono on both L and R channels). Did you hear otherwise?

We certainly will in the future. We have held up because most of the items suggested still hold true. There have been no physical changes to the Mevo Start since this video. While they have added some software features that mostly apply to to multiple cameras, the sensor is still too small to allow for crop zoom, without losing quality. And the FOV limitations have not changed. However, while GoPro has a long way to go in the streaming world, the FOV issue is fixed with the HERO 11 and 12. Our 12 testing is still ongoing, but we certainly like what we see. For now, our recommendation holds true (for the most part): Stream with a smartphone and/or record with a GoPro.

I have not seen that. I'm wondering though...are you using Android or iPhone?

@@LynkSpyder Samsung note 10 plus

@@maxhammer4067 interesting. No, I don't see interference with the pixel 8 PRO;ANDROID. I could see potential issues with iPhone, because they sandbox everything, which causes multitasking issues. But I don't see that in an Android, even with the Samsung overlays. That being said, Samsung really messes with the OS.

Certainly. Still works great. You can find them used. But just know that it has been discontinued for a number of years and won't get updates or any support from Mevo/Logitech. Still a great camera that was way ahead of its time.

@@LynkSpyder Thanks a lot! One last question... Don't I need a subscription plan to use the app with the Mevo Plus camera? Is it free to livestream with?

@@liv_som_yo no subscription required. The subscription is used to unlock premium features. So while some may benefit the Mevo Plus, they are not required.

@@LynkSpyder Thank you very much! Keep it up!

You have questions?

with an Android phone, certainly. I will have to check our testing notes on an iPhone to confirm that works as well. iPhones, as part of their security protocol, have restrictions on background program activity. However, my gut says that it will still work because you are telling the camera to connect to the phone's WiFi hotspot connection, which will run in the background. At that point, the GoPro App is no longer needed. But we will certainly check and get back to you with a definitive answer.

@@LynkSpyder Let me ask you a more specific question. After connecting the GoPro to the phone, can I make a live broadcast by attaching the GoPro to the drone and flying it, while my phone will be with me?

@@GencKimyasal I'm going to say not for very far. A 50' radius is about as far as I would get away from the phone. And that is with little interference. A drone would cause some interference. Depending on your drone, you might have better luck streaming from the controller video. Our Magic 2 controller feeds back HDMI which we can patch to an encoder. We use a YoloBox Pro.

@@LynkSpyder But I can watch the camera on the drone live from my phone. The drone works with 4G network system.

@@GencKimyasal Possibly; again within the range of the WiFi signal. With the HERO11, you can preview the video when you are not recording. But you will lose the preview when recording. I'm told the HERO12 resolves this limitation.

Hi Debbie! Correct, our bracket is designed to hold any number of recording/streaming devices to various styles of sports fencing. Our base model can accommodate most small to medium devices that have a standard threaded tripod mount. But beyond that, several addons are available to accommodate different devices like a GoPro, Mevo, Smartphone and more. Our configuration page might be a good place for your to start. It will show the recommended setup for many of the common devices and setups: lynkspyder.com/pages/camera-setups

From the Rode Central app, you can change routing from Split, Merged, or Safety. Safety is a great concept. Both tx devices are merged to the left channel. A -10db merge is fed to the right channel.

@@LynkSpyder so you are able to record into the phone with separate channels outside of the rode app, say into any other camera app? I just need to separate two people talking which I was hoping the DJI could do with an iPhone but it unfortunately could not

@@wingnut8 yes. But we haven't tested this in iOS. In theory, it should work in iOS, even if you can't get to the Central app. You can configure all of the settings on the RX devices using a combination of the 2 button menu. I'll try to add a demo of that on our rolling review post: lynkspyder.com/blogs/news/rode-wireless-pro-rolling-review

That is a Smallrig 11" articulating arm. BH Photo is a great source.

Yes. You will see the option from the app on the 11 when recording and streaming. My guess is that they won't add to previous cameras because the processors can't handle the extra load.

I think the first thing to keep in mind is that there really isn't a single position you can place the phone on the fence and run through the range of all of the zoom capability of multi lens smartphones (IE: iPhone 13/14 and Google Pixel 7). This is because, as you probably know, at certain points of the range, the phone will bounce between different lenses. As these lenses are in multiple physical locations, the point of view will change. What we recommend to do is, place your phone up against the fence (without a mount) and set your composition. Adjust zoom, focus if used, and angle until you get the shot you want, without fence in the shot. Once that is done, you can mount your camera to the fence and physically move it's location until you repeat the manual position. The next step is to make sure the clamp you use to hold your phone is mounted in such away as to allow it to get close enough to the fence. In short, this usually means the "meat" of the clamp is on the LCD side of the smartphone. We have a video where we talk about this in more detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIKXo4xmptmEd8k

We usually stream at 720p or less when using cellular based carriers. It is just the nature of the beast that at the ballpark, cell service will be over-saturated with all of the connected devices. Going much higher than 720p isn't generally feasible. The only exception would be by using a bonded connection using multiple carriers.

Thank you very much for the feedback

And we are testing several battery packs. But with the labs Firmware, nearly all work fine.
