Is the Logitech Mevo Core The Best Live Streaming Camera? 

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?

📸 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.

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.

Thanks for the help! Appreciate your insight. 📸

I just ordered one with a great lens. I'm excited to see the difference from just my mevo starts. Nice review brother! I would love a 2nd one. I'll do a great review for them as well, I love my mevos

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.

Thanks for this video!! 📸🎥📷📹🤳📽️🎞️😉

📷That was an awesome review.

📷 yeah streaming at 1080 thirty aint so bad but a thousand you can be two lenses into the z30 or zve10 by then.😮

Isn't HEVC x265? Not x264 as stated in video. 📷

Razer Kyio Pro and before that, my iPhone. Currently using the Logitech MX Brio.

Hi MatsuXL 📸, Without buying any of these products 😁 to test if someone is thinking of setting up a RU-vid studio with multiple cameras what would your advice be if Mevo APP in combination with the Mevo Core is not the best option. I was thinking of getting these items to replace Logitech ecosystem. I would like to see your unbiased opinion or advice on this in a video for people who want to start 2024. Thinking of getting these: Rode RODECaster Pro II Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro Rode PodMic podcast 4 Sony ZV E10 And Logitech Put Up!!! we are waiting.

what about battery life ?

📷 wish they did more with the start cameras

Costs more but the integration and ease of use and setup time. I think this is a really cool camera still

I have the blackmagic micro g2 and its great but no auto focus is another thing it lacks.

My first webcamera was a hacked playstation 2 EyeToy. I used my mum's anti-depressant sunlamp for lighting and even though it was 480 looked perfectly fine sized in the corner for livestreaming.

its really good device if youre such an one man band

📸 The z30 from Nikon w/lens cost $800

📸 Brandon Brown from The Horror Scene ! We are using the Mevo Start 3 camera system. Works great, but I agree with you about this new Mevo… just go buy a DSLR or Mirrorless.

I use 3 Mevos starts at church< Just got the Mevo Core It is working good so far.

My first webcam was my gopro

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’d rather spend money in a NDI converter

The price is an absolute shocker. I would rather invest in a Sony Alpha ZV-E10. P.S.: 📸

I'm honestly sick of "so called" streaming cameras being released that don't simply replicate the humble camcorder in a small form factor with all the streaming perks. It's like they only know how to copy other products.

Why not a PTZ? Not looking for a thousand dollar camera I have to then buy lenses for and still cant remotely pan and tilt. Yeah, you can digitally do that within the 4k sensor view, but that is not going to help in a lot of situations. No thanks.

Rather have the blackmagic micro g2 for this money. Need NDI get a transcoder box or buy an obsbot air 😊

No it's not worth $1000. That's stupid expensive.

Z cam E2N is much better. Better even than the black magic.

Think about the PTZ cameras you can find for $1,000 with advanced AI capabilities. No thanks Logitech.

LOL Logitec is out to lunch, what a joke camera for that price, should be $200 at most.
