Do you remember how far away you were when you shot the test footage of the dress rehearsal? I'm thinking about getting a couple of these for my church, but I'm not sure if the zoom will be adequate enough. It's not a huge church, but if the camera is set up in the back of the church, I would like to know if the footage will be grainy. It's about 60-75 feet from the back of the church to the pulpit.
Great review from a fellow live streamer in UK. My workflow is still HDMI and I was searching for sample footage of the Marshall CV506 type cameras. Very little useful footage around to determine whether it is worth going down this route. Looking potentially at a 3 un-manned mini camera solution for wedding ceremonies. I'd love to know if the quality is much better than a GoPro 10. Maybe you could persuade Marshall to send you a couple more cameras to test? Thanks
I’d have liked to have got a wider range of sample footage but unfortunately it just didn’t work out with the timings :( I often use a GoPro Hero 7 or later for a reverse (audience) or outdoor shot in livestreams. I’d say the Marshall 605 quality is somewhat better, also lower latency. The GoPro shots never mix in well with other cameras, whereas the Marshalls seemed to a lot better.
Hi David, just a quick one for you... with POE cameras, one will require a network switch to send power down the ether net cable to adequately power the camera, is this correct? Will this same ethernet cable carry the video signal also? I notice in your video you are using ethernet to power it but SDI to take the video feed. We've only got ethernet here in our studio ceiling so I am looking for a 1 wire solution. Also, would OBS detect this feed directly or is another external video component required? Thanks, Steve
If you want video down the Ethernet cable you’ll need a camera which outputs NDI. There’s latency associated with this which means you’d want to go either all NDI or all SDI otherwise you’ll have sync issues when mixing between different cameras. And if you go all NDI you’ll fairly quickly saturate 100mbit Ethernet so you’d need to look at gigabit or 10gig depending on how many cameras and what resolution you’re using, or have separate networks for each group of cameras.
Thank you for your review. It will help a lot, now I know the pros and cons of this camera !
Thank so much for your video. There arent much video samples ot these PTZ, so its very helpful
Thank you for this review! Quite niche thing and very few reviews for this type of cameras.
Thanks for the great review! Are you still happy with the 605?

Nice review, anybody shot in concert lighting, Blue & Red especially? Difficult to get good footage in low light with those4 colors. thanks
