Very informative video David. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I have two questions about the PTZ Optics 30X Gen2: (1) How capable is it in low light, and (2) does it capture a dynamic range similar to the Canon Vixia? For what it's worth, we've used 3 of the Vixia's for almost 3 years for our church livestream, and we've been generally pleased. I couldn't agree more that it provided a user friendly solution for our volunteer tech crew and it provides reasonably good video quality, especially in good light. Thanks again.

The PTZ Optics 30X Gen2 will certainly get you better quality than the canon vixia's. However, I wouldn't say that it's great in low light. It still gives a grainy image in low light due to its small sensor and need to introduce a lot of ISO to compensate for the smaller sensor not allowing much light to come in. On top of that, it's much less user friendly than the canon vixia and requires POE (power over ethernet) from what I understand and is usually recommended to use SDI cables rather than HDMI, although it can do both. The PTZ optics 30x Gen 2 has much better dynamic range than a canon vixia and better image quality but it's not going to thrive in low light conditions from what I've seen.

We live stream out of 3 Panasonic DMC-G85K set of at the front of the church. They create a visual barrier between the audience and stage. I'd like to move them to the back of the church and side walls meaning the range goes from 2 - 3 meters out to 10 - 15 meters. Can I simply add a lense or do I need a more 'powerful' camera. The other issue will be an added 5 - 8 meters of HDMI cable.

Love that you are using the Panasonic DMC-G85K cameras for streaming at your church, cool stuff! If you wanna move the cameras to the back or side walls, you can totally just grab a telephoto zoom lens that works with your camera. Maybe check out the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45-150mm or 100-300mm lenses. They should help you keep the image looking good from a distance. About that HDMI cable, adding 5-8 meters should be fine. Just be sure to get a solid, well-shielded cable so you don't lose signal quality. If you need to go even longer, you can always look into HDMI extenders or repeaters. Hope that helps you out with your streaming setup! Feel free to hit me up if you've got more questions.

Nice overview. The PTZ cameras have many great features but be aware that unless you spend way more to get something like a Sony CN series PTZ the picture quality may not meet your expectations, especially when switching between regular cameras.

Weird that your Canon 90d shuts off after 30 minutes - can you confirm that? I’ve been using the older 80D for teaching livestreams for literally hours at a time. It basically never shuts off. I’ve been asked to recommend a livestream camera for my church and naturally thought of the 90D thinking it would perform similarly to the 80D, so am somewhat surprised by your video. Thanks.

Yes, I just tested it with my camera (90D) this morning. Not recording or anything it still kicks itself off of shooting mode or live view after 29 mins and 59 seconds. The only work around I've heard some people do with canon cameras is downloading something called "magic lantern" which to my understanding is software (and possibly firmware?) that lets you tweak internal setting limitations on the camera but I've never used it so I can't confirm or deny if it's a good idea. -David

Thanks for the great information! I am looking to upgrade from a Sony camcorder for our church to a PTZ camera but would like the option that has a mini SD card for recording. Currently, we aren't livestreaming. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you! 🎥

Hi David, thank you for this video ! I was wondering what's the name of the controller for the Canon PTZ if you know, i'm looking for one please :)

Hey Ahmad, One of the most popular controllers for Canon PTZ cameras is the Canon RC-IP100 Remote Controller, which can control the Canon CR-N500, CR-N300, and CR-X500 PTZ cameras, among others. If you are looking for something more affordable, I have heard good things about the PTZOptics SuperJoy. Let us know what you decide and how it works for you!

@reachright

That's a pretty far distance. I'd look into a good PTZ camera like the CR-N300 Pro from Canon. You'll have to look into what controllers/accessories are needed if any though that go with this camera as I've never used it personably. -David

Given the video title I would have appreciated more information on live stream specific cameras. The photography and AV teams do not tend to share equipment in our church, so I came here looking for the best live stream optimized cameras rather than multi-purpose cameras. I am looking to upgrade from our Logitech Brio webcam, although it does have a couple features we have come to love. For one, it does not require its own power and hooks up to the computer via USB, so it can be mounted even out of reach on a pillar and still function. And secondly, the video settings can be controlled using OBS's video properties, once again meaning that it does not require manual operation (consider when the camera is mounted somewhere in the middle of the sanctuary but the AV computers are at the back). Do you have any recommendations that have these features but would still be a meaningful upgrade from our little Logitech Brio webcam? You only briefly mentioned a PTZ camera although they look interesting, and the model you recommended is slightly over our ideal budget. And the MEVO start looks interesting but more options would have been appreciated in that category as well.

We have two cameras listed here specifically for livestreaming (PTZ optics 30x SDI Gen 2, and the Black magic design studio camera 4K). Given your situation, I recommend looking into PTZ cameras as your best option as they can be controlled remotely. I don't recommend anything cheaper than the PTZ optics 30x SDI Gen 2 mentioned in the video as that's the cheapest option that still provides decent quality in my opinion. If it's out of your budget, looking into more PTZ cameras as an option is your best bet but I'm not experienced in many of them and won't be recommending a specific model because of that outside of the 30x SDI gen 2. -David

Great video! I did not know that PTZ cameras were a thing. In my church the real problem is the weather, it is super hot. 95 f most of the time. So I was thinking in the FX30 or FX3 just because they have a fan., but they are quite expensive. Do you think a camcorder like the sony fdr-ax700 or something like that would work in such hot weathers and for a long period of time without shutting down?

Honestly I'm not experienced in hot weather with camera's but it seems like DSLR & Mirrorless cameras struggle the most with overheating out of all the camera's talked about here. Camcorders I would imagine would handle it better but I've never tested it. -David

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but how do you do the audio of the device for livestream? I'm trying to help friends with their new church but am totally clueless! Thanks so much for any help!
@reachright
4 ай бұрын
Not a stupid question! Audio can be done a variety of ways but the most common use is to plug a audio out cable from the church's soundboard into some type of interface for the pc, that then plugs into the PC via USB cable. This is usually a video switcher, audio interface, or some churches plug straight into the PC without any interface but I don't recommend doing that unless you're in a pinch and have no other options. So the path is this: Soundboard (out) -> Audio interface or video switcher -> PC (USB cable). You can google search for best audio interfaces & video switchers for under $200 as they are always being updated. If you're starting with nothing, look at the Focusrite Scarlett. Under $100, very basic but it will get the job done and allow some slight control still. -David

Hi David, super thanks for the explanation. Now , I bought a6400, running using HDMI for 70ft long attached to Roland video switcher. The problem is , why the video quality so bad. I try so many things, HDMI ,booster, try so many setting on camera etc. But still , video quality is so poor, just like below 480, far from 720p or 1080p . If you don't mind, please give me advise...again super thanks, I am from Jakarta, Indonesia

Hey, this is David. Sounds a little confusing because you're troubleshooting steps are solid. At that point I would just go layer by layer until you can figure out what's wrong. Do the videos look bad when you record something raw directly on the camera? How about without the boosters and a shorter HDMI? are you using OBS? This issue seems like it can only be diagnosed properly by eliminating all the factors, and slowly going through them one by one.

Hey Scott. The Blackmagic Design Studio Camera listed in this video at that price point ($1400 USD currently) does NOT come with a lens. According to Blackmagic's site, they are compatible with both EF and MFT lens mounts opening up quite the range for compatible lens options to put on there.

Why it's almost every video I find about camcorder is about budget camcorders... I want to hear feedback on pro camcorders for church ... it just does not make sense to see the mirror less and dlsr and the required lense and you choose some silly camcorder as a comparison 😜

The average church in the US is 60 people with a 120k budget. We tried to choose cameras that would be accessible to the average church. We might do a professional/large church video in the near future.
