Here is the long promised tutorial (and gear recommendations) about how I live stream my weekly show “Filmmaking Times”.

You can start with whatever camera you have (that’s what I did), but if you want buy a great dedicated camera that is built for live streaming, then I suggest the BlackMagic Design Studio Camera as the A camera.

For the B and C cameras, I really like the Blackmagic Design Micro Studio Camera. It has a lot of the great qualities of the Studio Camera, but is smaller and cheaper.
