Capturing Youth Sports with Mevo: Affordable and Easy Live Streaming for Softball and Baseball

[@pmartprod]

Thanks Mevo team. It was a great experience and something my daughter and I will never forget. I appreciate everything. Mevo is the best recording and streaming solution on the market.

[@mikestucki31]

Thank P Mart. Can you do a scoreboard/clock through Mevo. I am an MN hockey dad currently streaming my kids game through ScoreCam. looking to switch to a Multicam setup and Mevo looks great. I want to keep doing a scoreboard though.

[@pmartprod]

@@mikestucki31 Hi sorry for the late reply just noticed this comment. Yes you are able to create and add your own scoreboard using Mevo Multicam. @JasonHoffmanYT has content on his channel explaining how to accomplish this with great detail.

[@rodneymoss7773]

@phil I use sidelinehd where can see a game video so i can get a feel of how the mevo product works with sidelinehd?

[@pmartprod]

@@mikestucki31yes it’s possible to do a scoreboard for sure. Also the Mevo maybe compatible with the service you’re already using. Lastly, @sidelineHD may have a scoring solution. Not fire if they have hockey, but it’s possible to utilize another sport layout for yours.

[@JasonHoffmanYT]

Way to go Phil!! 🎉

[@johnkoehnen3183]

Good work! Live streamed off the iPhone last tournament. Looking to pick up my first Mevo!

[@windsor_sports]

Did you manually created scoreboard?

[@scottkennedy1373]

What brand and model fence mount are you using?

[@MevoCamera]

That particular unit looks like a fenceclip from thefenceclip.com

Phil - stop carrying your daughters bag. The Mevo's are bad-ass. I've streamed hundreds of games with them - much easier than the GoPro or other solutions. Love the multicam as well, they're improving it almost monthly at this point. Still has a few things that are issues, but it's great for youth / High School stuff. I've streamed and recorded almost 1,000 games for my two boys. SidelineHD is the best thing out there right now for baseball. Not sure about the other sports. I do hope Mevo releases an updated version of the camera soon though. Could use stronger wifi, a removeable battery (mine is dying already, no way to change it out), and the screw mount on the bottom breaks too easily. There's no replacement for it either, when I asked Logitech about it, they told me to 3d print a replacement. Weird. It would be awesome if there was a better zoom as well. It's nice being able to set a zoom in the app, but it's digital, and the picture degrades quite a bit when zoomed. Being able to choose between wide and narrow views would help, but honestly, something that would allow a 2-3x optical zoom would be the best way to go. There's several fields my kids play at where the backstop is like 30+ feet from the plate. The Mevo is almost useless in this instance. I end up using the GoPro reluctantly whenever I run across a field like that.

Thanks for the feedback! We have since begun to repair the base again now that we have some parts but it's limited availability! -Joseph

[@ChainLinkParent]

@@MevoCamera Ah! It was a supply chain issue - got it. The person I talked to on the phone about it made it sound like a policy. Glad they're available now. I guess I'll have to find another way to justify my 3d printer purchase now. :) Love the cameras!

[@yvetterivera2222]

How do you get it so clear? Mine is blurry.

[@pmartprod]

Clean lenses and good signal.

[@chrislefroy1034]

Same, my lens is spotless and even the recorded footage is less than half the quality of whats shown in this, has been since new, its 'ok' but not great.

[@diegoescobar_]

Could we Connect more than 3 cameras at the same time with Mevo?

[@MevoCamera]

Yes of course. Only limit is if your mobile device can handle the workload.

[@Turboestadisticas]

hello! I only have 60 subscribers... how can I stream with Mevo on KZbin? thank you

[@pmartprod]

You can stream directly to KZbin even with only 60 subscribers. You will just have a maximum viewing capacity of 85. KZbin removed the 1K minimum and replaced it with a +25 rule. That comes out to number of subscribers + 25 at any given time. Your other option is to steam using an interface like @sidelineHD. This will allow you to stream to KZbin with no maximum capacity restriction and allow for you to incorporate a scoreboard etc.

[@chrislefroy1034]

@@pmartprod maybe it depends on location? I can stream to a group using RTMP but I cant stream to a page as I get an error saying I dont have a minimum 100 followers. I'm in Australia.

[@pmartprod]

I’m not sure about that. With my Mevo I don’t set up a separate RTMP, I use the KZbin option that is available on the Mevo App when I’m going to go live. What sport are you streaming? @sidelineHD may be able to help with, but I’m not sure if they offer service outside of the US.

[@chrislefroy1034]

@@pmartprod If I go live to Facebook with Mevo, it only gives you the option to stream to your personal profile or a page you manage. I dont want to stream to my personal profile and if I choose my page It says under youtube's terms you need at least 100 followers to stream. It doesnt show any groups I manage, but if you go to the group in facebook, you can set up a live stream from outside source and use the RTMP details to copy to mevo, which works, and groups don't limit streaming with no followers. As its Softball, I looked at Sideline, but if I recall I needed a US phone number to register, though I havn't looked again lately.

The 3 camera setup with stands is about $1300.00 plus a a computer or ipad?? Ouch $$$$

[@ExpatTeacher]

Phil - that's my story. Last year it was an iPhone strapped to the chain link fence. This year it is full 3 Mevo camera production with play-by-play announcing. Thanks Mevo. I love your product. Sincerely, Jackrabbits Broadcasting youtube.com/@coloradojackrabbits7259

[@pmartprod]

@@Cubitroniklook up @sidelineHD use their service to keep the score.

3 Mevo's at $400 = $1200 1 iPad at $300 3 external batteries at $50 + $150 Live Stream in a dead zone at a local high school - priceless

[@MevoCamera]

Deadzones are nothing to mess with unfortunately :/

[@pmartprod]

You don’t need external batteries with the Mevo’s 6 hour battery life. Also you can use just 1 camera behind home plate. And if you run into a dead zone which is rare but yes still happens occasionally, you can still capture a high definition recording.
