I got a Razer deck, which is the same as the loop deck live. It’s amazing. I am having a bit of trouble with adding new dial short cuts buts it’s fantastic.

@qpidx 7 месяцев назад

Amazing list. Will definitely check these gadgets.

@AlexPettitt 7 месяцев назад

@erewhon 7 месяцев назад

Great list! I got some NFC tags a while back but haven't set them up yet. This is inspiring me to finally set them up.

Hi Alex, thanks for the great overview. What companion module/connection do you use to control these smartplugs? Could not find one yet... As I just ordered I do not want to wait until your next video :-)

@AlexPettitt 6 месяцев назад

It’s the Home Assistant module for Companion. Basically you add Tuya’s Smart Life module inside of Home Assistant (to control the plugs with HA) then use companion to control HA. Works brilliantly, once you have everything setup. Good luck!

@makatron 7 месяцев назад

Also the Lark Max comes with a very nice soft case to keep all the cables and lav mics in.

@AlexPettitt 7 месяцев назад

Very good point! It’s a great kit

@82edje 6 месяцев назад

Hello Alex, Nice video! I am wondering how you set up your "studio recording in session" light. And is it also possible you make al telly light the same way? I have a fixed setup, so a extra cable is not a real problem. I got already a nice hardware idea the fix this with 12dc simple indicator lights. And i am also very intrested in your studio automation. I dont have a dedicated system voor recording. I use a 4x4 hdmi matrix to switch between my laptop docking, monitors and atem mini input/output. For the audio i can also switch between sources en speakers. So i can change my desk into a workstation, edditing station or a recording station. Wish you a great hollyday season! Look out tho you next video!

@drpastadertom3957 6 месяцев назад

That's something I'd also be interested in. Currently, I can give a voice command to my amazon echo, but it would be really cool to do automatically set this up when recording voiceovers.

@predator_freeland 7 месяцев назад

Love the idea of the power outlets controlled by companion. Curious how intense that integration/setup is.

@AlexPettitt 7 месяцев назад

It’s actually not too bad at all, if you’re comfortable with home assistant it’s a breeze. But I’m planning a full tutorial for 2024 if it’s something people are interested in :)

@VicenteXimenez 7 месяцев назад

+1. I would love to see that, Alex

@tech4fun115 6 месяцев назад

Great vid! Do the mics work on the 2.4Ghz band (WiFi)? I have hollyland wireless hdmi products and they become unreliable in areas with lots of WiFi or if I use more than one set of transmitter/receiver.

@AlexPettitt 6 месяцев назад

Hey, so they work of an Analog/Digital Hybrid 2.4 GHz. I will say that at IBC with conference halls full of WiFi, wireless mics etc I didn’t have any issues. I’m not sure officially how many kits can be used together, I think you may need to reach out to Hollyland themselves to answer that one :)

@RowanJohnson 7 месяцев назад

The Elgato prompter looks great. But do you worry about the weight that you’re putting on the front of your lens? As for my favourite gear of 2023, I think I was most impressed with the DJI Mini 4 Pro. I bought one for a shoot at the i360 in Brighton in October and it handled the job perfectly, despite being a coastal shoot at height. I was so impressed for such a small and lightweight drone.

@AlexPettitt 7 месяцев назад

Great question! I did at first and the prompter has a number of tripod holes so you can screw into magic arms or tripods for additional support. But I’ve been using it for about a month now without any issue. It’s remarkably light :) PS your drone comment comes at perfect time, I’m just looking to purchase a new one :)

@ronspi 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for the video. Great picks. My professional pick of 2023 is, without a doubt, the Smart Power Outlet. I attached the powered external USB hard drive to it, and I can run a remote backup, then turn the hard drive off, and the backup is fully protected as an Off Air Networked Device. It protects my clients as secondary backups can be made without an internet connection, and the device is turned off. From a personal point of view, the Prompter is at the top. Meetings now are eyes to eyes, and people feel the difference. Thanks again for your reporting and subject. Happy, safe, and healthy 2024.

@AlexPettitt 7 месяцев назад

Really cool to hear how you’re using smart plugs, you’ve just given me a couple of idea of how I can add some to my NAS / Backup setup. Hope you have a great Xmas and New Year!

@iwonderifthisislegal 6 месяцев назад

My only question is the live u. I found it on Amazon and it's damn near $1k... yikes. I already have the travel fi wireless router that I'm using for my mobile streaming business...but would like to know how that Live U encoder.

@punkyproductions5153 6 месяцев назад

My wish for the tele prompter: If changing the display from text to something else (such as chat ...) and back does not remember the position of the text (it starts at the beginning). Remembering the position is a must (and I have no explanation, how this pure performance can pass the elgato QM). Maybe I do something wrong ❓❔❓

@PsilocybinServices 6 месяцев назад

Alex! I'm not seeing how to connect my Loupe Live to Atem to Excel to record timecode/ good takes/ bad takes etc. Where did I see that?

@AlexPettitt 6 месяцев назад

That was in a video I did quite some time ago about my workflows and how I film my videos. I haven't done a tutorial of how to set that up yet. Also worth noting that I originally did it on a Stream Deck but it should also work for LoupeDeck as well (Although I haven't tried this personally). Hope this helps :)

teleprompter fo me, If they ever get any stock back in

@alabarca8016 6 месяцев назад

Unfortunatley, you can't buy them right now, because no one has them in stock. If you know where I can get a couple of them, please let me know. Thank You

@JoATTech 7 месяцев назад

Seems like you make the prompter out of stock :D

@AlexPettitt 7 месяцев назад

They’re so good, they’ve been flying off the shelves. I’m hoping stock will be back in soon though, got my fingers crossed for Jan 👍

@annebokma4637 6 месяцев назад

I cant buy the prompter right now. No one has them in stock, nor had them in stock ever since it was announced. Not even elgato has had them for sale yet. I will buy two asap, but it will be the best buy in 2024, lets hope January but rumour is it will be March

@AlexPettitt 6 месяцев назад

Yeah their popularity has been amazing. Everyone is trying to get home of them. Fingers crossed for stock in the new year

@philscott7949 7 месяцев назад

Alex, you should know, any "smart" device connected to your WiFi exposes your entire network to the outside world. Networks always leak through the weakest point.

@AlexPettitt 7 месяцев назад

Totally agree with you Phil... But the same can be said of any device connected to the internet inside of your home. I think of it as risk vs reward.... the chance of someone personally targeting me is minimal (i'd like to think), VS the many benefits and personal ease these smart plugs bring to my life. The reward far outweighs the risk for me... but I completely agree with you, it's something everyone should be aware of :)
