The Mevo Start is a great camera for live streaming or for recording. It is good for those getting started in streaming. It is reasonably priced and has a lot of great features. You can live stream to most any service. The camera can be connected via Wi-Fi or with Ethernet (requires a separate adapter). Wi-Fi works well if you have good access points and signals. Streaming quality will depend on your upload speeds. Recording are saved directly to the camera but you will need get a micro-SD card as it does not come with one, but those are so affordable. You will need an Android or iOS tablet or phone to work with the camera. There is an app that controls and configures the camera. There is a built in microphone that works well. You can also alternatively connect an external sound source to the Aux 3.5 mm jack. It is configurable for Mic level input or Line level input (like sound board). There are level controls for audio within the app. It fits on most any tripod (standard 1/4 screw). I found battery life to be 4-5 hours which should be good in most cases. There is a USB-C connector on the camera that can be used for external power or ethernet adapter. Indicator LED on the front of the camera tells you the connection status and I believe can also act as a Tally light. One of the nice features is digital zoom. You can view what the camera sees from within the app. The app also lets you zoom the camera view in and out. You can also move a zoomed box around with the full field of the camera, so it almost like having PTZ. The video feed is quite good and there are settings for things like low lighting and outdoor. Camera looks and feels well built. There is no lens cover so you might want to get a case for it. The camera can also be configured as an NDI source and it works great with OBS, zoom and all. Good starter and can still be used in more advanced setups (like OBS). Keep in mind that the app can only be used with one camera at a time (you can move back and forth between cameras). A multi-cam app is being developed and is currently in Beta at this time. Read more

I am a podcaster, Youtuber, Coach and Event coordinator. I actually bought this on a gut instinct preparing for a conference I was streaming. Pro's Wifi Capable adds versatility with a strong wifi network Can stream straight from "the right" mobile devices (more in cons) Wifi Webcam Mode 1080p OnBoard Recording Possible Mobile control of ISO, Color Temp and other Camera adjustments Con's Older devices not all compatible NOT fully compatible with the M1 Chip (wired webcam mode, no) Cannot adjust "Camera Settings" like ISO, White balance and such in Webcam mode Not 4K I stream on multiple platforms and this will certainly NOT replace my normal DSLR style camera. I. have used the wireless webcam mode and I hate that I can't adjust the white balance without connecting to my phone first, adjusting it, breaking the connection then reconnecting it to my computer. I change my lighting a lot depending on the shoot. However, this was a life saver when I was multi streaming an event. I just needed something with decent quality as a constant feed and it worked spectacularly in wireless webcam mode back to my computer. Understand, this is a decent "webcam" not the best but decent. It is not a replacement if you use DSLR's but for what it was created for which is event streaming or multi cam "set studio" (not changing often it is a great camera especially in use with a couple other MEVO SMART cams. One note, I would like to see them upgraded to be more computable with other softwares and platforms. If you don't want to use their native app for streaming with them, you are going to have to get creative because they are not friendly to any other software but theirs. Thus I used wireless webcam mode to bypass this short coming. Read more

The only drawback to the MEVO may be the price. I have a daughter that plays softball and I’m the Gamechanger dad. With a multitude of mounts available it’s easy to locate, it links right up to my iPhone 13 Pro Max easily, functions perfectly, and it feels durable and like a good quality product. Compatible with everything I’ve tried with it. Battery life lets me record about 5-6 hours with a full charge but I use a small battery pack with it. It lasts an entire tournament worth of games. I’d buy it again tomorrow! Read more

We are not very techy people, but we figured out how to get going with this camera the first game. We’ve used it a full season in many weather conditions, and it’s done the job. The microphone is pretty good, so just caution your vocal fans sitting nearby they will be heard! Live-streaming with GameChanger was easy, and it does a decent job clipping plays for athletes/coaches to get their specific highlights. We used a magnetic fence mount (sold separately) and an all weather battery pack (sold separately) in our set up. The internal battery in the camera lasts a full game so far, but in colder conditions it drains faster. We just hooked the camera up to the battery pack for the second game in the double header, and was good to go. WiFi needs to be close by to livestream, so plan to sit near the camera, or we drop the iPhone on WiFi in the camera’s storage bag and clip it on the camera mount to allow us to walk farther away. Have fun! Read more
