Mevo Plus vs Mevo Start

[@nicholasgarza6096]

Love it! thanks for doing this! Mevo Plus with boost is weather resistant with a rating of IPX4 which the Start is not from what I recall. another reason why I personally purchased another Mevo Plus instead of the Mevo Start.

We are using the plus for church service streaming. Video quality is not that good but that might be a lighting issue. We have a mixing board for sound. Is there are good computer program to mix the Mevo video and the mixing board sound? Do you recommend a better inexpensive camera system?

[@LynkSpyder]

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.

Where did you get the arm the Plus is on?

[@LynkSpyder]

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

That's great! Can we still do livestream with the Mevo Plus in 2023? Do you think I can purchase it for a show?

[@LynkSpyder]

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?

[@LynkSpyder]

@@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.
