MY CAMERA & STREAMING PROGRAM | CANON M50 ~ $599 & Ecamm Live
After owning and trying several great cameras, I have fallen in love with my Canon M50. Simple enough for a beginner and just enough to pull off some great prosumer features with great lens options.
I use Ecamm Live since I use a Mac! I highly recommend StreamYard if you're on PC plus my referral link will give you $10 credit on StreamYard!
MICROPHONE | Samson Q20 $55
People will forgive poor video quality but NOT poor audio quality. It is a MUST. My current go to USB/XLR Mic Combo is the Samson Q2U. The only other mic I love like this is the ATR-2100 by Audio Technica. Both are awesome!
THE GAME CHANGER! | VILTROX M50 SPEEDBOOSTER $156
This has severely improved many issues with the Canon M50 from adding in more light and being able to use better Canon Full Frames lenses. I almost never take the Viltrox Speedbooster off my camera anymore!
This plus my Yongnuo 35mm EF lens, it's my go-to combo when I want to 10x anything on my Canon M50!
UNLIMITED POWER | KAPAXEN M50 POWER ADAPTER $20
Canon charges a premium on their adapters that can run about $80 but I went with the more affordable Kapaxen third-party adapter and I have NOT been disappointed! I have even accidentally left my camera on for a couple days in sleep mode and nothing - still works like a charm and NEVER has overheated my camera even after 6 HOURS non-stop. Don't ask why I was streaming that long lol but it works!
If you want a USB option to use a Battery Bank, this is the one I use HERE.
How I save on Amazon Purchases
I use Honey's Google Chrome App to Save on my Amazon purchases
...even to know what will charge sales tax or which items won't and stuff Amazon display until the cart checkout!
Or if you want to coupon codes or anything online, even pizza!
