our IRL streaming hardware | 2023 

yea, it works fine 95% of the time. I only have data issues when there is literally no data or I'm having some sort of issue on my side.

yea, i had trouble finding a grid-it that fit, but i got one now. its great now.

i wish i knew, i think i got it at diaso, but i can't find them anymore hahaha

i agree in respects to visual quality. these days i also don't use my sony cam 99% of the time bc i hate the form-factor compared to the action4 which is, in those respects, a dream.

I mean, the backpack is made of mesh, im a long way from waterproof here haha.

@@EricKlein wow didn't even notice thought it has lining under it, well good luck with Japan's weather buddy, dude there is something wrong with RU-vid notifications because i didn't get your replay till someone liked my comment.

@@jacklol4248 i just don't stream when it's raining. i dont want to be out in that anyways lol

i wish i could, i dont remember where i got it and i've been looking for another one for like 2 years lol

got a dope marge simpson shirt recently

yea, I've considered that but sometimes I also carry spare camera lenses of various sizes in the bag so having it remain flexible is a priority. tbh, its pretty much fine how it is, it could just be a tad more tidy, it's not a huge priority though.

bonded data streaming on iphone is in super beta right now, it'll be quite a while until it's ready for actual use. If you want a phone for streaming get a S23ultra or wait for the s24ultra. You can also use modern google pixels, but they have thermal issues.

yea, I could do that, I just don't want to put that stuff on the batteries bc I use them for other stuff too.

solving! haha

learn a bit about OBS if you don't already and look into the app IRLPro. It runs on android and is dope for streaming. It's a good entry point, and might be all you really need depending on what kind of streaming you do. -E

realtimeirl and some masks in obs, if i recall.

If the belabox is setup properly it will keep the modems charged yes. And yes, if the modem can supply a connection via USB you simply plug it in and the belabox recognizes it as an internet source.

oh, haha, its a joke from The Simpsons. Their neighboring town is called Shelbyville.

@@EricKlein Oh, now I get it. For a stretch there were a bunch of writers from the Indiana University physics department that wrote for the Simpsons and there is a Springfield in I think about 34 states. Again, a great vid on your tech!

I get about 6 hours with one modem, the wireless system and the as300 camera being powered off the same bank.

oh yea, the software side is a totally different thing haha, it's kinda complicated. Long story short is: 1. The camera signal goes into the "belabox bee" (the silver box in the backpack) via HDMI 2. The Belabox Bee runs custom software called "belabox" which takes the video signal, compresses it to h.265 and sends it over (in my case) two cellular networks, one is on my phone and connected to the belabox bee via local wifi hotspot and the other is a modem plugged into the belabox bee via USB. The idea is it is able to use both cellular networks in case of low bandwidth or signal failure on one, it can instantly adjust and work on the other. You can add a LOT of modems if you have them, not just two. 3. The signal goes over the "bonded" cellular networks to what is called a "SRTLA ingest" which sucks in the signal from both modems and turns it into a single video signal which is them captured by my computer at home which is running OBS. 4. The OBS machine then adds all the overlays and has some custom software to flip to a "BRB scene" if all my cellular connections fail (in a tunnel/elevator, etc) and automatically comes back to "live" when the signal is re-established. The OBS machine feeds the entire thing up to twitch (or youtube or wherever) as usual from there. There are some apps and stuff people have built to help you monitor and control everything while you are out and about. It's all pretty wild tbh, and a borderline miracle it works LOL.

i'm actually not sure lol

yea, run the DJI receiver into the belabox with a USB cable and you don't need to run any mics into the Sony cam. It works awesome.

thanks man i didnt even know it was possible untill i saw this randomly watching your video! less cords!!

not much, but in theory she will be able to just hold the camera on a selfie stick or something if we want. Audio is going to get complicated, however and I'm not totally sure what to do.

i don't use a bluetooth speaker, but i do use TTS in headphones often. I just use the chatapp streambuddy.

i have in the past, this is "pre built" system from the creator of belabox which is very nice and stable.

sure, but they are amazon japan links as that's where i live. www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/product/B07PG6WD1F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/product/B07QBZ667V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks so much!!!!@@EricKlein

I'm not absolutely sure what that build cost is, but upwards of $2000usd, I'm sure. It can be done cheaper these days.

uh oh

Eaten by e-sheep.

I don't use an m1 modem, it's a sh52b, but it's specific to my cellular network here in Japan. I'm not personally familiar with the m6 Pro so I can't speak to that. Your computer does need to be on and running for the stream of course, most people just leave it on at all times I suspect. Your best bet for support and ideas is to hit up the belabox discord, i hang out there a lot but there are also a lot of other people who can help with specific questions.
