📸 If your only use-case is sitting at a desk talking to a camera, then your criticisms are valid. But if you're recording or streaming your kids' basketball or softball game, a conference, a worship service, a panel discussion, a university lecture, etc., then your criticisms are wildly off-base - especially if you are cutting between multiple cameras.
@MatsuXL8 ай бұрын
Wouldn’t you have your system prebuilt or set up once for worship/lecture/university/conferences? In most of those cases you’re going to be hardwired anyway. Well, these venues are set it and forget it where you can have a set up station almost permanently. I can understand for venues like trade shows are concerts where you’re having to constantly break down and put up systems. at the same time, though you’re also going to have an issue with the wireless connectivity, especially in an environment where you don’t have good signal.

@@MatsuXL In some situations, yes, but not all. I work at a major university; in-room setups are oriented toward Zoom calls, and are poorly adapted to live stream and event video. Being able to cut between 3 or 4 cameras via an iPad, then pick up that setup and do it in a different auditorium another night is real use-case. With the Mevo Core, we can cover events like this with less than half the people and expense. Again: you are pissing on a camera for it not being well-suited for a use case it wasn't built for. It's actually a very welcome camera for other use-cases. 🤷🏻♂

@tlingit I’m pissing on a camera and brand that has directly aimed this for desk scenarios. Also the fact that there are other options at a lower tier/cost. Again, if you are in the MEVO ecosystem then by no means should you jump ship, however given that my audience is being targeted with a device like this, there are other options.

As a Mevo user with multiple Starts this is going to be my main camera with the Starts capturing alternate shots. Mevo users have been missing an optical zoom for many situations. This camera will work natively with the Mevo app and cameras that I already have. Most recent videos on my channel (Thrifty Biscuits-Old Bank) were shot with Mevo Core as the main camera using a Laowa 6mm wide angle lens. Another Mevo Core was using the Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm zoom.

Ah, the classic apples to oranges comparison strikes again! 🍎🍊 📷 Dive in with me: If your streaming setup is still desk-bound, Mevo might seem like overkill, but think of it as your encoder, cellular router and camera all in one. Think of Mevo as the Tesla of cameras, always improving with updates like the potential for 60fps, because they're all about listening to what you want. And about that NDI license? While others only look at basic camera functionality as the only driver to justify price, Mevo includes what typically costs $100, democratizing quality streaming for all users out of the box. Comparing Mevo to traditional cameras is like comparing smartphones to landlines. Both make calls, but can your landline snap a pic? Mevo isn't just any camera; it makes shooting content setup and breakdown easy for anyone, not just those with tech knowledge and an abundance of gear. Paying for convenience is often underestimated. In a world valuing time, Mevo stands out, ready to stream straight out of the box. And with Mevo's HDMI output you can accomplish 4K streaming just like the cameras you mentioned, the 1080p30 is only limited via mobile streaming but if you want to mix in even more hardware which seems like your preference then you can do it now. For mobile 4K streaming they already mention in their community group that they are waiting for more platforms to support it but it's possible and coming. Let's not rush to judgment. Mevo is more than a camera; it's a streamlined solution. Why piece together a puzzle when the picture is ready to go?
@MatsuXL9 ай бұрын
I don’t disagree with some of the points you make. What you pay for is the namebrand and ecosystem. Yes there is some ease and flexibility regarding breakdown and set up and stuff just working out the box. I think the Mevo Start package it’s probably the better option for someone who’s getting into creation and looking for the best bang for their buck. And I say that only because for someone who’s looking for a quick easy set up and no frills, it comes with everything you need for multicam. In the case, scenario where yes, you can achieve 4K streaming by plugging in an HDMI, you mitigate the wireless functionality . I appreciate being able to have an open conversation and understanding other thoughts. I think the biggest thing that triggers with me is that someone brand new to content creation is going to see this and think it’s the end all be all solution whereas this may be best suited for a specific niche area of creators.

Mevo's products have always been kind of a niche...where you need a camera with long battery life, wireless capability, and space/weight are at a premium. To use a Blackmagic Micro G2 in a similar setup, you'd have to add a bulky LP-E6 battery which likely won't have 6 hours of life, a wireless NDI transcoder like a Kiloview N1 (or a Hollyland Cosmo C1 + NP-F550 battery if you don't care about NDI), and you won't have use of the tally lights (unless you use the one on the N1). Whereas the Mevo Core has that all built in. It all depends on what your workflow is on whether $1000 is worth it.

Short: At 5:20 a bigger sensor does not let more light in. You might have more photos per square centimeter. So you an advantage at the same Megapixel Count. Long: Full frame does not collect more light than APS-C or M43. That is just wrong! Full Frame can collect more light per pixel but only if we do not talk about FF sensors with very high megapixel counts. The difference in quality comes from the noise that is generated as the pixels in crop sensors have to be much smaller to reach the same Megapixel count. F2 is also F2 on micro four thirds. A F4 lens on M43 collects as much light for the sensor as a F4 on Full Frame! The crop factor does not apply to light gathering! The only thing is that M43 has double the depth of field (less Bokeh / Toneh). Summary: You just have less sensor area for each pixel. A 60Megapixel FUll Frame will have similar pixel density than a 24 Megapixel APS-C and therefore will not necessarily work much better in low light in terms of "noise". ChatGPT can help us here: Full Frame sensors typically have dimensions around 36mm x 24mm. APS-C sensors vary slightly depending on the manufacturer, but a common size is around 22.3mm x 14.9mm. Micro Four Thirds sensors have dimensions around 17.3mm x 13mm. Let's calculate: Camera 1 (Full Frame, 24 Megapixel): Sensor area = 36mm * 24mm = 864mm² Pixel per surface area = 24 MP / 864 mm² ≈ 0.0278 MP/mm² Camera 2 (Full Frame, 45 Megapixel): Sensor area = 36mm * 24mm = 864mm² Pixel per surface area = 45 MP / 864 mm² ≈ 0.0521 MP/mm² Camera 3 (APS-C Nikon, 24 Megapixel): Sensor area = 22.3mm * 14.9mm ≈ 332.27mm² Pixel per surface area = 24 MP / 332.27 mm² ≈ 0.0722 MP/mm² Camera 4 (Micro Four Thirds, 20 Megapixel): Sensor area = 17.3mm * 13mm ≈ 225.5mm² Pixel per surface area = 20 MP / 225.5 mm² ≈ 0.0887 MP/mm² Camera 5 (Full Frame, 60 Megapixel): Sensor area = 36mm * 24mm = 864mm² Pixel per surface area = 60 MP / 864 mm² ≈ 0.0694 MP/mm² For low light it still makes sense to carry full frame but not for the same reasons as described in the video.

I think they are targeting people with this product that are mobile streaming (ie. on the go but want adjustable lenses). There isn't anything like it. VM33 and VM46 go blurry like crazy when zooming in and out (Hoffman videos). The Mevo Start and digital zoom just don't work re: no optics so that product offers no flexibility re: distances and framing subjects. I 100% agree re: the price point being off. $700 to $800 seems like a price point where people might bite but, at $1000, I am going to ask my wife to return the one she bought me for Xmas and get a 3 pack of VM33 cameras for recording and streaming our 7 and 8 year old boys baseball games.

I've got three Mevo Start cameras, and honestly, they're pretty rubbish except for one thing - they're super easy for anyone to use. In our podcast studio, even someone who's never touched a camera before can handle them. I'm considering them just for the simplicity they bring. We've also got three GH5 cameras, but most folks aren't keen on learning to use them. Even though the Blackmagic cameras are the same price and way better for studio rentals, I can see the appeal of buying the Mevo for its user-friendliness. But I'm not sure if that justifies making a camera that maybe only a few hundred studios worldwide would buy. I'm curious who else is shelling out for these at such a high price point.

I do not recommend this product. I bought two and both have the same problem. This is a product in development and does not work correctly. I bought it and had to return it because via USB-C as a webcam, the image distorts when configured to 4K at 30 frames, and it does not matter what app you are using (I used Windows Camera and OBS). If you increase the light level, the image looks worse. Via NDI and HDMI, there are no problems.
