Best Budget DSLR Live Streaming Setup! Canon SL3 250D

[@DocBoA]

I just did my first live-stream with my A6100 with the HD60 S+ last night and the quality was killer. These entry level cameras are amazing for that purpose. Top notch content upload brother

[@TechGearTalk]

Congrats man - that camera is underrated for sure!

[@ChaosGamingSA]

Is your camera responsive I have a slight delay that I cannot fix!!

[@magustin12]

You have simplified it so easy on what you actually need with live streaming at common consumer price points and not having to spend that much money. This is what I needed to start live streaming certain events and has made my life of stress a whole lot easier

[@APurpleSpy]

Canon SL3 with the EFS 17-55 2.8. Been running this setup for a while now. Mic is the AT2020 through a focusrite scarlett solo. Absolutely loving this setup. A bit of shopping around can get you a like new used combo of the camera and lens for under 1k. Mic and interface are barely over 200 together. A couple simple neewer studio lights for just over 100 bucks gives me way more light that i need. Absolutely would recommend this setup to anyone. Any upgrades beyond this are very minor. You get a top level studio quality broadcast in all regards for around 1200-1300 bucks depending on the camera deals you can find.

[@TechGearTalk]

super nice setup! Appreciate you sharing your experience with the community 🙏

[@neokCS]

Do you still need the Elgato now that the new canon ‘webcam’ software is out?

[@TechGearTalk]

You don't "need" it if you're ok with the lower resolution and image quality: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3_VnpJuj7enhtE It definitely works (and it's free - yay!) but it depends on how important the higher resolution is to you (you don't get 1080p with the software at this time)

[@abyss5285]

NEOKcs What the where did you come from

[@SpaceBeats24]

still use the cam link bc it is overall better and the canon software is in beta so it has some bugs

[@thehoss]

Also, do you still recommend this in the 500$ price point?

[@mossiegee4674]

The only real advantage to using Canon's webcam option is if your camera doesn't have a clean HDMI out like say the 200d but otherwise i'd go with a capture card or even one of the cheap chinese knock-offs for half the price i have several of them with good results

[@robbja]

As always - Extremely helpful and very informative! As an example! I had recently bought the Canon 200D DSLR and was very impressed with it as an upate from my 600D! BUT! Along came the 250D! And I had such regrets! A newer 200D - WITH 4K and eyefocus! Such FOMO! BUT! THEN! Along came you - Matt - explaining that shooting 4K would mean an additional CROP factor! Something that I have NOT SEEN IN ANY OTHER REVIEW or found information about anywhere else! Keep up the good work! KNOW that YOU ARE APPRECIATED and doing a bloody good job! Love and hugs!

[@harrishsanjay6584]

Is the Canon EOS 250d and the SL3 the same camera? Will I be able to live stream without interruptions using the hdmi output? I am from the UK so 250d is only available that’s why.

[@kenduejones]

Yes

[@grizzlyflute]

I've just seen a verified comment on this cameras amazon uk listing by Swav saying: "However, the predecessor of this model the 200D/SL2 had a feature of being able to disable the 30-minute auto power off that most cameras have. Any streamer who is in the professional space knows that having a DSLR rather than your standard webcam is a very nice addition and adds to your streams overall quality significantly. The 250D has the same setting, however at 30 minutes of standby the camera asks for a button to be pressed to resume shooting mode, which makes this feature cancel itself out so if you want to use this for the purpose of a streaming camera, I suggest downloading the app and switching a setting (I chose daylight savings) every 25 minutes or so to stop this screen appearing to your viewers. It's a slight disappointment as the 200D did not do this at all but still it is a fantastic camera for the price and would still recommend it." Does this still apply, or was it firmware patched out? Because that's not something I particularly want to do. Other than that, this camera seems like the perfect investment for streaming and I'd happily take the plunge.

[@bayu94full]

Is this all shot with the camera in question?

[@erikvasauez9361]

I actually just bought my SL3 about 2 weeks about and have it so my girlfriend can stream and so I can take some shots during my trips or vacations and it's been working great. For the price, I still feel like this thing packs above it's weight class as it can compete with other cameras that are easily $300 to $400 dollars more. My thing is with lighting, I'm still figuring out how to dial in ISO, Aperture, shutter speed, etc. but my big deal is getting lighting.

[@TechGearTalk]

I agree that it's a great value Erik! Lighting is definitely important. Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYDYk4Jjmqh7b7c

[@bobbtopgun]

THANK YOU for all of your very helpful and instructional videos. For my live streaming and Zoom video meetings I'm using the Canon SL3. For high-quality audio I decided to go with a Rode NT1 XLR cardioid condenser studio mic. The Rode NT1 is connected to a Zoom H6 as the audio interface supplying phantom power (which can also serve the dual purpose as an audio recorder). I run the audio out from the H6 into the mic in on the SL3, and then clean HDMI including audio from the camera to a Magewell II HDMI->USB capture card and then into the PC. For lighting I'm using a pair of Neewer 660 LED dimmable bi-color video photography floor lights with a remote wireless light control. While I may have gone a bit overboard, the overall video and audio quality are I believe worth the incremental extra investment to be able to provide a really high-quality video and audio experience. While it takes up a little more floor space, I decided to go with floor stands for the lights and mic along with a floor tripod for the SL3 camera to eliminate the chance of transferring any vibrations from the office desk to any of the equipment that would somehow show up in the video or audio. Power is supplied by AC power adapters to the equipment for unlimited run time and no concerns about running out of battery power.

[@TechGearTalk]

That's a super nice setup, and I completely understand the choice of going with dedicated stands. If you have the space, it's for sure the way to go. Super appreciate you being part of and contributing to the community.

[@bobbtopgun]

THANKS, I REALLY appreciate your feedback. I did run into a problem when running the SL3 on the AC power adapter. The small rubber tab on the side of the battery compartment that the AC adapter cord runs through puts some downward pressure on the power adapter cord. After a while that pressure caused a very small plastic protrusion on the inside of the battery door to stop making contact with a very small micro switch inside the battery compartment which caused the SL3 to stop working. Even though the battery compartment door is still closed and locked, the camera would not work because the micro switch was not fully engaged. To remedy the situation, I changed the position of the camera on the mounting plate of the tripod so that the battery compartment door is now fully supported by the tripod's mounting plate. BINGO - no more problems. Just curious if you have ever heard of or encountered this problem? THANKS for your help!

[@TechGearTalk]

Last night I connected my Canon camera to stream video to the laptop for the first time, (just checking) and it worked. Nice video, I discovered everything I have been doing without noticing how one thing leads you to the next one. In terms of Video Capture software I have installed Bandicam, VLC media player and vokoscreenNG. Yes, at home, completely unemployed and soon getting retired. Mother language: Spanish. 😊

Hi brother I need your advice. Canon 200 mark ii vs sony a6400 which one is best for filmmaking and KZbin videos.

[@TechGearTalk]

What's up bro. the a6400 is a more powerful camera. If you want 4k, it's not even close, you need the a6400. If you're doing 1080p, the 200dmkii is easier to use and has a touch screen. The a6400 has slow motion, has SLOG2 and 3 as well as HLG. It also has unlimited recording. Hope that helps.

Hi! Really like your videos. I'm asking a question here hoping you have an answer. I started using an SL2 to replace my webcam. Have you ever had problems with delay in the image? My audio is coming from a Shure MV7 via USB, I can't figure out how to make sure the sound and the image stay in sync. It seems when I speak, there's a few miliseconds lag with my image. That said, even wiithout factoring in the audio, I still feel like there's a lag when I look at the image on the PC vs on the camera's screen. If you had any tips it'd be great. Couldn't find it in your other videos. Cheers!

[@2musiclover534]

Greetings. Just wanted to give you a quick update. You helped me by suggesingt the SL3 & Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 outfit. I use it straight USB cable into the laptop using Canon's software. The battery last a little over 3 hours with the LCD off. Great sub $1K outfit delivered if one shops carefully. I've already used it for teaching a fair bit. For the $, excellent results. I do hanker for an even shallower depth of field and even better details, so I may upgrade to the RP and larger aperture lenses. (I'm not sure if you compared this with the RP but I assume that the RP can do all that the SL3 can do.) Thanks for your excellent help.

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi there and glad the setup works for you. I would be interested in seeing what you get from a larger sensor and am worried that you'll get results that won't justify the added cost. But like with anything - happy to hear back form you - so please keep me updated!

I totally agree with you on the importance of audio. It's unbelievably underrated by many people, and I hate listening to the compression artifacts and bad sound quality, so I rather stop watching than continue to bear more of the sound sh*t. So I've made sure when I'm online with my clients or in zoom meetings that my sound is impeccable. A very helpful video, even if you are "only" looking for information to make your online coachings and videoconferences a better experience.

@@TechGearTalk have you considered making a video on how you can improve skype or zoom sessions, conferences? It should be very similar to a streaming video, but with a few twists. I know a lot of self employed / freelancers, especially in the consulting and coaching business are desperately looking for this information and wouldn't look at videos on streaming.

[@TechGearTalk]

Good idea! What would be the twist you envision?

[@hypnosecoachinghombach7517]

@@TechGearTalk twist might not be the correct word. What I meant with twist is mainly a different focus on the set up. Most of the technology that you use to enhance life streaming is the same, or very similar to having a zoom / skype / webex / microsoft teams / etc session or conference, but as it so is, most people will not see the similarities in the first place. And of course, there are differences, but not as many as a lot of people believe. Yesterday e.g. I attended an online webinar for hypnotists who want to do online sessions. Just imagine, most of the participants didn't know that it makes a difference whether you use WLAN or a cable, many don't even take into account upstream velocity. etc. Many don't have dedicated rooms but use rooms where you can hear the street noise from outside. Or they sit in their office or practice room which leads to different lightning situations. I'm sure you have used your streaming equipment for online consulting and with your ability to make really good and helpful tutorials not only for beginners, you can help a lot of people there!

Thank you for this video. I bought the camera, the lights, the capture card, and the lens you suggested. I’m currently waiting for my DC coupler to arrive so I don’t have to keep swapping batteries although the one you linked is no longer available so I bought another one. I’m having a problem with the audio having a slight delay to the video when using Zoom. I’ve tried with AirPods and with wired headphones and through the laptop mic and I get the same result. The video looks fantastic but I’d like your opinion on how to fix the audio delay.

[@TechGearTalk]

Hmmm, it's interesting that it's delayed with a wired mic. Try wiring the mic to the SL3 and then using it as an audio source. Let me know.

[@xchpstang]

Tech Gear Talk Just to follow up, I held off on buying a USB mic since I wasn’t sure that would fix the delay while streaming on Zoom. The good news is that the audio delay was fixed by just setting both the Zoom input mic and the video to Camlink 4K on Zoom settings. I believe setting the mic to Camlink 4K just picks up the camera’s mic. It’s far from ideal but I may try a mic that hooks up directly to the camera’s physical mic input as I’m not sure that the USB mic would eliminate the delay.

Hi Drew. I have never attempted that because the audio is already in the computer at that point. My guess is that since there is already a syncing issue, it would just feed out of sync audio to the camera. I normally just correct it in OBS with a delay. Hope that helps.

[@DrewInMotion]

Tech Gear Talk it would be great if we could adjust delay at in the OS, since most videoconferencing apps don’t have delay settings.

[@TechGearTalk]

Agreed! Until then, it's something that all videoconferencing apps should include .

[@robanthony3445]

This is a brilliant overview! I've got a set up right now that works perfectly, with the one exception that is leading me to question the camera I'm using. My rig starts with an older CanonT31 and is a great fit from a quality and tone perspective. Capture device is the Elgato Cam Link to my Mac and I've successfully live streamed to multiple platforms using OBS and Restream. HOWEVER - the Canon's LiveView setting- which appears to be required in order to display the feed, automatically shuts off by default after 30 minutes, to protect the sensors. I am hoping that this is NOT the case with the SL3 250 shown here?

[@robanthony3445]

Additionally - I'm having to use Magic Lantern to produce a "clean" HDMI layout when streaming. :(

I’m having a problem trying to livestream with a M6 MarkII, Capture Card, and USB Snowball Ice and the audio being out of sync. The only way I can get the audio to sync is to not use the usb mic and use a mic plugged into the camera. Any thoughts?

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi there. It's a common issue because the audio from the computer is processed at a different rate than the video from the capture card. I use OBS and there is an audio offset option, so you can just play with +/- milliseconds until it sounds perfect. You do this once and it's good forever. Hope that helps.

[@RyanLennoxBradley]

A Samson (NOT Samsung) Q2U mic would have been better. That way you can upgrade to XLR once you are ready to upgrade audio and buy a XLR interface without having to buy a new microphone. It is also dynamic, so the mic is more directional and picks up less background noise.

[@RyanLennoxBradley]

Also, it is both XLR and USB depending on whether you have a XLR setup or not.

[@TechGearTalk]

Super appreciate you taking the time to contribute Ryan! I'm going to check it out!

[@RyanLennoxBradley]

@@TechGearTalk But still a great video as always

[@TechGearTalk]

🙏

[@TheMoltrezz]

Do you have recommended cheaper camera for all those fitur? I want fitur like this camera like 1. Auto off camera turn off when we use Hdmi clean 2. Coupler Battery charger like dummy so we can stream for long time 3. External mic so we just put in use usb consender mic to camera for easy edit and monitoring

[@TechGearTalk]

I can't think of anything cheaper. I also want to tell you that you can't connect the USB microphone to the camera without another interface. I hope that helps.

[@TheMoltrezz]

@@TechGearTalk no , i just need external mic jack and put on earphone for monitoring my voice while stream Canon Eos SL3 250d and eos m200 what is better in your optinion? I want to change from web cam to camera for better quality But still confuse what should i buy Btw Did u try new canon eos web cam utilities for windows ? Is same quality like when we use elgato? Or lower fps and quality on eos web cam utilities?

[@TechGearTalk]

You can't monitor audio through the mic jack - you would need a headphone jack for that. Canon webcam utility video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3_VnpJuj7enhtE it is lower resolution and fps than capture card

[@TheMoltrezz]

@@TechGearTalk btw 1 more question Did u try canon g7x mark III ?what about the quality Is better than canon SL3? Did g7x mark III have jack 3.5 and hdmi clean too? I want to buy either SL3 or g7x mark III. Can it use coupler too ? For streaming for long hours

[@livingintruthchurch]

Wow, thanks alot I went live with the SL3 and elgato camlink. No more buffering and lagging. But the screen turns off after about 15min and I have to hit the display button again. Can you stop it from doing that? Thanks again!!!

[@tweakrr99]

You use a lot of pan slider shots for B roll, can you do a video on what you use for that. Looks really smooth and clean

[@TechGearTalk]

Coming soon! Thanks for being part of the channel!

[@robertmay8156]

I purchased the Canon camera you recommended several months ago and I've been spending months acquiring the right combination of DC coupler and AC adaptor. I did not know it would be this complicated. Also, the pure HDMI out setting on this camera is greyed out and unavailable and I have no idea why. I'm hoping that when I finally have the power situation corrected I'll be able to select HDMI out. I had no idea this would be so complicated. Definitely not plug and play for me.

[@akaDAD]

Not exactly a budget build. First, you don’t need a capture card with Canons now; EOS Webcam Utility is free software from Canon. Second, you can get a 10” ring light for under $45. These come with tripods so spending more on that multi-mount is the opposite of budget. Third, you said a $150 mouse was a good price? You can find a gaming mouse for half that (Roccat). Finally, the Stream Deck is way too expensive to be considered budget. You can get the Touch Portal app (pro $9.99) and buy a $35 Fire tablet to run it off of. Now, your video is good quality with great info, it’s the use of the word “budget” that I’m disagreeing with.

[@TechGearTalk]

Oh, sorry, "budget dslr" not "budget setup". Yes, I know about the EOS Webcam Utility (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3_VnpJuj7enhtE but we don't get 1080p - for now - we'll see what happens when it's out of beta). You can definitely get the ring light (I don't mind the "ring" in the eye, but some people do). Really appreciate you taking the time to contribute! (going to check out Touch Portal - do you use it?)

[@akaDAD]

I tried it out and a DSLR at the current available resolution (fit to screen) is still better quality than a C930 webcam at 1080p ... so sad for Logitech.

[@TechGearTalk]

I did the same thing, totally agree. If Canon makes it 1080p... capture card companies are going to struggle...

[@akaDAD]

Once Sony has their own software similar to Canons then cam links will become useless

[@TechGearTalk]

yup!

[@pacmanlp8876]

Im comming from an EOS 600D. What model would be a step further after SL3 to get even better quality for live streamings? Thanks! (Will you make available your streaming guide page soon?)

[@mspielmananni]

Super helpful video. Really appreciate all the work that went into it. I am curious about your fantastic lighting behind you. Can you share what the blue and purple lights are? Thanks in advance for your reply.

[@TechGearTalk]

HI Matt - thanks for the kind words. They are a combination of LED tubes and LED light bulbs (regular ones that would fit any home fixture). I'll do a video about because I got a lot of questions.

[@mspielmananni]

@@TechGearTalk that would be fantastic. I was thinking about the Philip’s Hue bulbs and or light strips. I look forward to your video. Thanks again.

[@TechGearTalk]

That would work! You can get cheaper bulbs on Amazon.

[@mspielmananni]

@@TechGearTalk final question. Promise. I purchased one of the microphones that you recommended. I do a ton of interactive webinars. For good sound (and not a headset) what do you. Recommend?

[@jasesnow]

This video is exactly what I've been looking for for months. But I guess my next question would be, what camera is the video filmed on?? I'm looking for a setup for book reviews so I guess I'm looking for a wide enough angle to show a table like you have with maybe the book sitting on the table to the side where the viewers can see the cover. What would you reccomend? Thank you again for your time, and subbed!

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi Jason, welcome to the channel. The camera I use for this video is different, it it’s the same lens. So I just place it farther away and select a wider focal length on it. You could get this angle of view on the sl3. Here is all my gear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ_Uppmhl5hoobs hope that helps.

[@jianssakuragaming8674]

i like the sl3 but i like the sl2 more because according to my experience, the sl2 is enough for me for photography and video. And i also need 1080p at 24 fps. u spent all my money.

[@TechGearTalk]

The SL2 is a fantastic camera! As far as streaming, the SL2 does not have a clean HDMI output, but here are alternatives: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWOYlYWml7Jjbtk and kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3_VnpJuj7enhtE (sorry about spending your money)

[@SofloSneakers]

Hey man, hopefully you see this message! So I've been looking for a streaming solution for a while so I'm glad I found this video. I went through and bought the SL3, bought the 4K Cam LInk and the mini hdmi required. I just opened everything up on obs but the video quality is very choppy looking. Not clean at all and I'm trying to figure out what's going on. I have the setting set to FHD Clean, not 4k like you said. Let's say I'm waving my hands around in the air, it just doesn't look smooth at all, it's almost like it has choppy frame rates. Any insight on this is appreciated. Thank you and great video

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi there. Let's see if I can help. If you are streaming at 30 frames per second, then your shutter speed should be 1/60 of a second. If you're streaming at 60fps, then it should be 1/120

[@SofloSneakers]

@@TechGearTalk Hey thanks for the response. On the camera, when I'm using the TV mode along with the HDMI connected to the camlink/obs it doesn't let me adjust the frame rate or shutter speed. Maybe I'm missing something here? On OBS, it says the frame rate is Match Output FPS which is (autoselect: 59.84 NTSC)

[@TechGearTalk]

You need to be in Manual so you can control everything.

[@SofloSneakers]

@@TechGearTalk I went to manual and regardless of where the shutter speed is, I'm getting the same results of the video. Since OBS says 60 fps, I tried moving it to 120.

[@SofloSneakers]

I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the cable I bought? I just got a basic HDMI to mini HDMI off Amazon to connect the camera to the camlink. It just seems like somewhere along the lines quality is getting lost and causing the lag effect

[@vmsreviews8668]

Great video! Love your recommendations. Question: if you were investing in a new camera today primarily for video streaming/occasional video/photo work, which of the following would you recommend? Canon EOS250D or is it better to get the EOS RP instead? Or something else already? I already have some EF "L" lenses because I own the 5D Mark II. Attempting to stay with Canon because of my lens ecosystem. I get that the price difference between the 250D and RP (with EF lens adapter) is about 600 US$ (where I live), so not sure if it's worth it to future proof myself with mirrorless.

[@TechGearTalk]

I guess it would come down to whether you need the wider angle of view of the RP. If it were me, I'd stick with the SL3. Hope that helps.

[@vmsreviews8668]

@@TechGearTalk Thank you so much. Bought a Cam Link 4K already and will get the SL3. Appreciate the recommendation!

[@dfmosDOS]

Hey your video is great! I have a particular question, I wonder if you can help me with. I have a Canon Eos R and in the power savings menu you can turn off/disable auto power off. Which is great when you're streaming. But everytime I turn off the camera the power saving options get reset and I need to disable the auto power each time I power on the camera again. The reason I ask is I'm hoping to setup a zoom room with a DSLR with HDMI capture card. So I want the process to be as easy as possible for other users. Ideally I want the power settings to stay disabled so that if the user turns On/Off the camera They can just launch a zoom meeting and they never need to worry about automatic shutdown You mentioned that when Clean HDMI is set is automatically disabled the camera auto shutdown? Is this feature only on 250D or would it also work on the Eos R? The 250D interests me as its cheaper and migjt fit the tasks better since it has better AF in video than the EOS R.

[@dangerousdoctrine]

Can you post an updated affiliate link for the AC adaptor?

[@StephanBoyyy]

Thank you for this video. However, I still have a major question. I'd like to get very good quality AND autofocus on my streams. I first thought the Canon M50 would be my choice, but then I have to decide between having decent quality AND autofocus (by using USB) or having very good quality WITHOUT autofocus (by using HDMI Out and a capture card). Is this camera here able to give me HDMI Out (and therefore very good quality) AND autofocus? Thanks for help!
