Tonight, I will be showing footage from YoloLive YoloCam S3 a new web camera that I was sent to look at it. I have since then checked it out. Tonight and in an upcoming video I will release this week I would like to share my thoughts as well as get yours toinight in the chat and in comments. I am very interested in your perspective. I hope you will join me live. I would love to here your thoughts on where Web cameras are today and what is happening this past year with their quality and price. Disclaimer: This YoloCam S3 was sent to me by YoloLiv to check out and I am under no obligation to even do a video. Tonights opinions these are my opinions and I am comparing it to four web cameras I already have purchased and my Canon EOS R DSLR and will compare it tonight live with my Canon camera and lens.

I have been putting the ATEM MINI Pro, ATEM MINI EXTREME ISO and now the Rodecaster Video through their paces put is the new ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 the Best of them all. Let's talk about it tonight. I will be once again attempting a stream from the Rodecaster Video.

We had some challenges last week when I went live from the Rodecaster video for the first time last Tuesday. I have moved the RodeCaster Video to my desk and I'm using the same network signal from my ATEM MINI EXTREME ISO. Let's see if we have good ausio and no more clitches on Youtueb and also any issues using NDI again this week. I will be using the Sure SM7b this week and we will UNbox the Ride DS2 and use it with the Rode Podmic live in the Rodecaster Video. Also tonight I will cover each of the Buttons oin the Rodecaster Video and what they do.

I unboxed this Rodecaster Video Live last week and I know I'm way late to the party but I have arived and will do my best to Go LIVE with this New Switcher by Rode and give you my first impressions after using it for a week in October 2025. Also we will take a look at the Bigger and Badder Elgato Prompter XL and what the fixed that people asked for in the Original. Yes it's Bigger and it has some new abilities that make it perhaps more usuable for larger cameras and Larger lenses. I you want to speed past all the YouTube Static sound issues go to 43:20 in the stream or scroll to the bottom of this and click on the cchpater markers you want! Last nights Live Audio crackeling issue was on the Live only nothing was doing than static in my Program recording on the =Rodecaster video or in the studio head phones. I did have my big scree TV on the YouTube channe so I could hear thew issue witrh the 5 second delay. So other than the fact it hasppened and I'm testing now on Wednesday the day after the stream to see if I have the NDI dark contrast issue as I was using the Rode Capture iPhone application it worked fine before I went live but was not working rate in the back half of my stream. It could be in my network as that's what makes NDI (Video over ethernet) work.

Many of us use our iPhones for video now days and why not because the smart phone world has grown and the iPhone 13Pro I have is still great for video. Yet are we using tools like Open Gate shooting? How can you enable it on the iPhone 13Pro and other iPhones models? In this video I share about the Blackmagic Camera Application free for iPhone and how it will enable you to shoot video both portrait and landscape using the complete sensor of your iPhone. The gate represents the crop that happens when you shoot portrait and landscape modes automatically. Open Gate uses the entire sensor of your iPhone. When you record in normal modes you have tge abilty toi tune your phone and shoot video in portrait and landscape but you have a crop on the sensor. With "open gate' the crop effect on the sensor changes and opens up the video and gives you more information in the frame so that you can then crop it later in post. Value of Open Gate? To shoot once and then use this new video frame for a portrait and landscape video for different social media needs. In the portrait mnmode the exgtra space allolws you to change and adjust the portrait crop latter in post as well in case you are not perfect in your frame. This will save you time in post-production and saving time mean a lot in our fast-paced lives today. So why not open up that gate?
