The cameras we use for our church livestream | Church Tech Tour

The position of your cameras (aka camera plot) makes a big difference to how your livestream looks and feels. Come with me for a behind the scenes look at where we put all of our cameras on a Sunday morning, and what they capture.

Hey Josh, once again, GR8 video. The idea for cam 3 was fantastic 🎉

[@budget-church-livestreaming]

Thanks!

[@JohnnyWagner1]

Dude! This is the type of video I’ve been looking for! My church is longer than it is wide. This has a lot of great stuff in it. Do you use speed boosters between the EF lenses and Panasonic cameras or just regular adapters?

[@budget-church-livestreaming]

Some of em are speed boosters and some are just adapters, but honestly I don't remember which 😂 kinda just depends on the focal length you need to get

[@JohnnyWagner1]

@@budget-church-livestreaming that’s awesome! I loved your first camera setup. It was almost a one for one setup to my church. Lol.

[@budget-church-livestreaming]

@@JohnnyWagner1 ha that's awesome!!

[@soundxajay]

Cool ❤

[@evercontreras7028]

Where can I check out your livestream?

[@budget-church-livestreaming]

Here's our latest one! kzbin.infokME8vpES5bw?si=HGthqDz7hj6xZtPz

[@_aPaladin]

cool stuff, there are lots of cheap PTZ setups lately, but I haven't tried them to see their quality... Using micro 4/3 or apsc camera would get you tighter shots without have to drop lots of money on those really expensive lenses... But yea keep it up

[@budget-church-livestreaming]

@@_aPaladin yeah, we use m4/3, but we're just upgraded our lenses over the years to higher quality ones for the optics, but still getting the benefit of the crop factor

[@_aPaladin]

@@budget-church-livestreaming ah cool cool... just thought I'd mention it since it was part of the channel name, budget... lol but awesome stuff

[@rubenparada866]

One other question (not related to the cameras). In what quality do you stream? Have you ever used hyperdeck quality? Did you notice any real advantage? God bless

[@budget-church-livestreaming]

I think we do Hyperdeck Low? Whatever setting translates to 1080p at 12 Mbps. We used to use the setting just below that and I feel like I noticed a slight improvement, but nothing crazy

[@CCRLuxembourg]

@@budget-church-livestreaming ok, thanks

[@micahdotpage]

Do you setup and direct the service every week?

[@budget-church-livestreaming]

Yep! We outgrew our auditorium so now have church in the theatre next door, which means setup/teardown each week. I direct probably 90% of the time, but I'm working at training up some great guys to take it from me more often!

[@zacfromnzl]

What do you use for your livestream? Is it a mix of propresenter and obs or do you use more specific software for your usecase? Since you have to pack in/out do you find yourself using wireless signals or can you just patch the video through the existing infrastructure? Really cool insight!

[@budget-church-livestreaming]

@@zacfromnzl I've got some other videos that run through most of our setup. But we use an ATEM Constellation for switching and an ATEM Mini for streaming. We use a mixture of wireless and wired that we run each week
