If you want to blow your mind, try a setup using an LG Wing android phone. They can be had for a couple hundred dollars new as opposed to the $1000+ when it launched, and it continues to get OS updates. With this device, you can launch Mevo Go, start a multitask split screen, launch Multicam and connect to Mevo Go ON THE SAME DEVICE! You can then flip open the second screen and put Go on it. At this point, everything is sideways until you turn the device 90° so the second screen is off to the right. Now you have the fullscreen control panel for Multicam in portrait mode on the main screen and your internal cam on the second screen with full access to its pinch zoom and pan features. This is the ultimate solo operator setup where you can run 3 Mevos mounted on tripods and do handheld shots using your device camera. Incredible.
i just ordered a Rodecaster 2, a Mevo 3 pack and a new Ipad today! This video is a lifesaver and I will let you know how my setup is! Thank you so much for the video. I think I was channeling your video before I did see it! I just need an hub. Please tell me our hub brand and model!
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I’ve been looking at the Mevo three pack for expanding my production capabilities. Haven’t decided if I’ll being going that route or picking up one of the Sony cameras.
Thanks Ben, this is quite helpful. I have been doing a podcast called Potential Paradigms with interviews on zoom, but now want to shift to a 3 camera angles and two XLR mics. I am wondering if you have a recording of your podcast, I didn't see any videos here. Also, do you think I can plug in my Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 for the two XLR mics. The roadcaster pro you have looks awesome, maybe I will upgrade to it soon. I just want to get the studio up and running soon. Ok thank you very much for your comments.
Glad it was helpful! I don't have a Scarlet, but if it is a USB interface, I don't see why it would not work. I have a Elgato Wave XLR that is a USB interface and it works as well. Try it out and report back! My podcast is on another channel @smalltownpastor
Hi Ben. Great video! Do you think this would work just to connect the Rode Procaster directly to the iPad without the hub (I don't use an additional screen)? If so, which cable would have to use (I am guessing: USB-C out from Procaster to iPad in Lightning...)? Thanks a lot for your help!
I’ve been enjoying our MEVO at church. And I like the new screencast feature because I can make motion graphics and share it through the mevo platform now! BUT what I don’t like is how screencast doesn’t fill up the full 1080X1920 window. So whatever you’re displaying not only gets compressed but downsized too. I really hope they fix this soon 😭🙏🏾
Hello and thank you for this video. If the external screen is touchscreen, can we control the Multicam application from this external screen? I use an iPhone 14 pro and I would really like to be able to isolate the Multicam application on an external touch screen while still being able to do other things on my iPhone. Is that possible ? THANKS
Hi Ben, thank you to share!!!, I have a question, there is a way that I can send the video of 3 or 4 Mevo cameras to an rtmp server simultaneously? Thx
Hi Ben, I came across your channel while researching Mevo cameras. I hope to set up a stream for painting minis this year. The camera would need to focus very close for this to work, but I cannot find a review for the mevo cameras anywhere (as in the cameras themselves as opposed to the mevo ecosystem). How do you find the cameras for close-up footage? Thanks.
Cool idea! To be honest, I have not tested them on something very close, but I would be willing to try and simulate your scenario and test it out. What are "minis" that you are painting? How close do you think you would need to be?
Maybe a silly question Ben, but how is the rodecaster hooked up to the multicam (or is it not?) I have the Focusrite 8i8 w/ to xlr mics going into it and usb to the computer.... Not sure how to get that audio to the cameras though so the xlr mics are being used and not the multicam mics. I hope that makes sense!
Not a silly question at all! It is connected to multicam in the sense that that it is connected to my iPad and the iPad is an audio source in multicam. I hope that makes sense. If I understand your question, you can connect your focusrite direct to one of the mevo cams via USB or by cable. I would also try connecting it as I have using the Rodecaster. You don't know until you try! Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching!
Hey love this. Can you help me here. I do a lot of mobile podcast with the roadcaster Pro. I'm trying to cut down on post editing so I can get the podcast recordered and uploaded quicker. Is that a false economy or do you think it could work.
That is tough question for me to answer as I think that approach depends on many factors. I will say that this setup has all the components to accomplish that goal and make your workflow efficient. Good luck!
I have the Rodecaster connected to a hub that I connect to my M1 iPad Pro through its USB-C/Thunderbolt port. In the Mevo Multicam App, I have the audio option turned for my iPad and that is my audio source within the Multicam app. The mic connected to my Rodecaster is the Rode Procaster microphone. I hope that helps!
But what exactly are you using? Just give a list of the equipment you are using. What hub is it? How does it connect to the iPad and rode? People always talk about what they do in general but help with specifics please
Sorry, I still don't get how to connect RodeCaster(Audio) and mevo (Video) together? I watched so many videos here, but none of them tells how to connect them. Thank you.
It is a Baseus hub I got from Amazon. They show it no longer available but in my experience, other quality USB-C hubs I have used have produced quality results. Good luck! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YW7ZXNB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
How do you get the audio from your audio source (microphone) to Rode and out to the iPad? I am struggling to get the audio into the iPad from the Rode through USC-C. The iPad will only use the audio from the Rode if I am connected directly to it. If I pass the USB-C connection through a USB-C hub, it will only use the iPad mic. I have the Mevo camera mics diabled.
Hi Ben, I am connecting a focusrite 2i2 usb interface to my android tablet, but am unable to see it in the mevomulticam running on the same device. It does however seem to work if I plug it in directly into the camera via usb-c. However, it detects it as a single audio source , and the two mics will be on a single audio file, which is probably not ideal. Also, it seems you are bringing in the roadster with multiple mics (I have two) via the same device that runs the multicam or is it via MevoGo. Would you recommend something, thanks
When I connect the audio into my iPad, it does not change the name from "iPad" to the name of the connected device. The same may be true for your android tablet...in other words the scarlet may be recognized and work with your android but not change the label to "Focusrite", etc.
To answer your second question, the Rodecaster is connected to my iPad running multicam. I have not been concerned with saving the audio file in the way that mentioned. When I record my podcast, I save an audio file on my Rodecaster and the video file on my iPad. That process works well for my needs. I hope that helps!
@@thebenbeckner Thanks Ben, appreciate the feedback. That's a sweet feature of the roadcaster. It seems it allows you to record all tracks independently as well.

There is no software from mevo that functions they way their single or multicamm app does. The cameras have NDI functionality that allow you to use them in other software like Ecamm or OBS.

You can even bring in the device you are running multicamm on as a webcam source using the webcam app into Ecamm or OBS. (That gives me an idea for another video!). I hope that helps!
