Thanks for this review. I present in a different setting weekly, at which I have very limited time to actually do any sort of setup, and so "mobile" and "ease of use" are paramount for me. I'm wondering though, if there's a workaround for TH-cam's "minimum 1000 followers" for streaming with a phone? Like, will this work with my Surface Pro (without additional 3rd party software like OBS)?
Hey Gordon, I don't think you can stream via phone if you have under 1000 subs, without the use of 3rd party software. Although I do know there are some apps you can get to help you with this! I've never done it, but I'm pretty sure Streamlabs can bypass the 1000 subs feature for you, so it may be worth looking that up! Thanks for watching, George.
I got a important simple question as a person who doesn’t know nothing of this product but is interested in the idea of using it to stream.. if I have one angled at the tv and another Angled at me will it show both cameras on twitch at the same time live ? Is that option a available? cause I only see here You cut from one camera to another .. please help me with this question
Awesome review, we were thinking about buying this before this review for our facebook lives - looks so simple to use ! We're most likely going to wait for Black Friday sales just to get a bit more bang for our buck ! It's not hugely over priced, just a luxury for us at the moment 😂
Great Explaination,i just purchase my MEVO START,i m realy excited to use this camera on wedding event on facebook live in few 2 weeks please give me some more tips what do have to in order to continue 5 to 6 hours LIVE COVERAGE. also i like to know without any any ERROR or problem can i do straight 6 hours Live? please if it is possible reply back to me. Thanks
Hello. The product is interesting ... but I need to understand if it is possible to connect it to a control switch such as Atem mini or Yolobox with an hdmi adapter. Can you help me? Massimo from Montecatini Terme, Toscana
Thanks for the review. Very informative. I'm wondering if I use 3 of the Movo cameras and the multi-cam app to record, am I recording the selected 1 of 3 cameras to my phone with the app or am I recording to the 3 separate SD cards in the cameras? I don't stream at all but it would be cool if I can use the app to switch between 3 different camera angles and have it record in one place on the phone app. thx
What worries me is that when you are using the camera, what I see is a soft lagging jagged video shot. Is that just what you see on the phone and the streaming video is buttery smooth?
Hi, if you're looking for a simple, minimal tech way to stream tennis matches, then yes I would say this is a great option! Thanks for watching, George.
Glad you enjoyed the video, and yeah you're not wrong, we would usually include more test footage for you guys to see in one of our reviews. The reason for this is because I spent most of the review running through the features of the app, but I will take this into consideration in future! George
Hi Christine, personally I think this would be a great option for this kind of thing, as long as you have the ability to run it into some software (such as OBS) to easily switch between the camera angles during the stream. Hope you enjoyed the video! George.
Hi, I use a range of tripods, and almost any one will work well for the Mevo due to the small size of the camera. The one I'm using currently is the Gitzo GT1545T, (which you can find linked below) although a less expensive one would also work great for use with the Mevo. Hope you enjoyed the video, George. bit.ly/2WAnUJX
Thank you for this review. I have a question. Can I use it as a webcam for conferences in Microsoft Teams and Google Meet? I am carrying out virtual workshops which are not live-streamed but only held through a Teams or Zoom conference call.
Yes you can! I actually use it myself as my webcam. You need to download and run OBS, set it up as a Video Capture Device, and then select 'Start Virtual Camera'. Then you can go on Teams or your preferred software and you can select it as one of the options. I hope that helps! George
Yes you can, there's an app called Mevo Multicam designed exactly for that purpose, you can even add graphics onto your stream through the app too. I've not used it myself as I only had one Mevo Start, but from what I've seen it offers the same features and simple usability as the Mevo app I was using in this video. I hope this helps! George
They are very different cameras, the Logitech is a webcam, so it's good for streaming but it can only be done whilst connected to a PC, and has no audio whatsoever. So the Logitech is only really going to be appropriate for streaming whilst using a PC (gaming etc.) with an external mic. Whereas the Mevo enables you to stream purely using the Mevo and your smartphone, and therefore is an all-in-1 streaming camera, as oppose to a webcam, so I think it's worth considering what your primary use for it is going to be. I hope that helps! George
Man this camera looks kinda weak. I think what is hurting the review is Wex is using a very nice camera vs. Mevo, so when he switches it looks kinda bad
Good question, I think there are quite a few reasons someone would prefer this, for example some would find the Image Stabilisation or the simplicity of connecting your own microphones to the product a big plus. But for me there are 2 main feautures this product has that phones do not offer. The first one is a 6 hour battery, I don't think I'm aware of any phones that could stream continuously for 6 hours.The other reason is the NDI capabilites, the ability to connect it to a PC, and run it through software such as OBS is extremely useful. It means you can add overlays, vision mix between multiple cameras and do all of the amazing things that streaming through a PC allows (I've even been using it as a webcam in meetings). As far as I'm aware it's the cheapest NDI camera on the market (correct me if I'm wrong!), therefore the price point allows the user to start off with simpler streams, then as they get more confident they can start introducing a more 'professional' workflow and look to their streams. I hope that answers your question and thanks for watching! George
You think I can set up this cams around a concert stage and stream live footage to a video screen
I wanted to see what app to use for this device…
We tend to use OBS! :)
Yes I want one
Nice video het voor de audio input you can also use your USB c connector for better Quality sound in state of the 3,5 mm trs
what about podcasting? can you use for podcasting .
Hello, thanks for the great video. I was wondering if I can stream and record to the micro sd at the same time?

For example a Rode Wireless Go
Nvm i finished the video thanks

Great video
How does this compare to the GoPro or DJ? Any other suggestions?

Hello, thanks for the video. Do you know if Mevo can follow up/track you, without using wifi?
While recording, do telephone calls interrupt recording?

Thanks! I saw the Mevo Start Skins on eBay. Do you recommend them?
Thanks for the review. Very informative.

What worries me is that when you are using the camera, what I see is a soft lagging jagged video shot. Is that just what you see on the phone and the streaming video is buttery smooth?
Yes that's just my phone being slow! The Mevo recordings had no jitter and played back smoothly. I hope you liked the vid! George
Good morning, would you recommend this camera for streaming college tennis matches? If not this Mevo, then a camera that you would recommend? Thanks
Hi, if you're looking for a simple, minimal tech way to stream tennis matches, then yes I would say this is a great option! Thanks for watching, George.
Good review,
but I cant help noticing most of the footage was not shot on the thing being reviewed.
Glad you enjoyed the video, and yeah you're not wrong, we would usually include more test footage for you guys to see in one of our reviews. The reason for this is because I spent most of the review running through the features of the app, but I will take this into consideration in future! George
Would it make sense for a high school broadcasting livestream set up as a camera on the sidelines as a 2nd or 3rd camera shot?
Hi Christine, personally I think this would be a great option for this kind of thing, as long as you have the ability to run it into some software (such as OBS) to easily switch between the camera angles during the stream. Hope you enjoyed the video! George.
Thank you! What type of tripod are you using?

What camera are you using to record this video?
I used the Sony A7s II to shoot the B-roll and my non-Mevo piece to camera. Thanks for watching, George.

@@WexPhotoVideo thanks a lot. And then Grin the Meevo App I still can use the different features to zoom and add other scenarios?
@@franklynruiz9294 Yes, you can still use the Mevo app to zoom and use other features when running it through a PC to use as a webcam! George
How would I connect to a PA system?
what about doing "multi camera" streams with 3 mevo starts?
Yes you can, there's an app called Mevo Multicam designed exactly for that purpose, you can even add graphics onto your stream through the app too. I've not used it myself as I only had one Mevo Start, but from what I've seen it offers the same features and simple usability as the Mevo app I was using in this video. I hope this helps! George
I need your help
How does this stack up against the Logitech Brio 4K?
They are very different cameras, the Logitech is a webcam, so it's good for streaming but it can only be done whilst connected to a PC, and has no audio whatsoever. So the Logitech is only really going to be appropriate for streaming whilst using a PC (gaming etc.) with an external mic. Whereas the Mevo enables you to stream purely using the Mevo and your smartphone, and therefore is an all-in-1 streaming camera, as oppose to a webcam, so I think it's worth considering what your primary use for it is going to be. I hope that helps! George
@@WexPhotoVideo Thanks George! That's really helpful, The idea that this has the all-in-one capabilities is really appealing to my primary use!
Man this camera looks kinda weak. I think what is hurting the review is Wex is using a very nice camera vs. Mevo, so when he switches it looks kinda bad
The camera quality is awful for literally $400 thats not worth my cash
how come you tell us how it has a nice size and fits in the hand instead of actually putting it in your hands and showing us?
Use your imagination. It's not that difficult.
@@tanookimarketing I could... but then there is a video for it, but in this case no...
Great video, I love my Mevo's !! I just setup a nice storage / transport box for mine as well: th-cam.com/video/IXhlRBoRZFU/w-d-xo.html
So why would anyone use this over using the smartphone directly? Can't see a lot of advantages to be honest and it's not cheap by any stretch.
what if someone rings you while you're recording ? Or what if you need your phone for the shoot?
@@ramycreates4968 Marginal circmstances. And you could just get a second phone at that price.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
