Tonight we will talk about these two devices and how they compete. With all the things Rode went aftyer to make switching and layouts easier did they clearly win against the ATEM EXTRE ISO or did they just competer against the ATEM MINI PRO ISO? Also we will talk about this years Black Friday Sales and what deals are to good to be true.

In this video we take a deeper look at the software that comes with the YoloLive YoloCam S3 4K Web camera. Not only did I already do a Unboxing and Side by Side video with the YoloCam S3 compared side by side with my Canon EOS R, I wanted to take a deeper look in this video of the software and the some great features. I was sent this Web Camera from YoloLive but was under no obligation to produce a single video. I like this camera and it fits in with tools like the RodeCaster Video because it has uncompressed video. Also at the end of the video I take a look at a New Software version coming soon 1.0.4 in Beta currently as well as the 0.0.4 firmware YoloLive sent over for me to test. I am pleased with some channges for the better coming soon. 180 Degree Shutter Rule Deep Dive by: Gerald Undone Video on 180 Shutter Rule: https://youtu.be/UPPSdCrqcFQ The link below is an Amazon Affiliate Link and when you use we receive funds from Amazon yet you pay the same.

Thats right just as I joined the world of RodeCaster Video switching here in my studio and started recomending it as a great tool for studio and live venues Rode announces the RodeCaster Video S. We will talk about what the differences are and why it cost less than half the price of the RodeCaster Video. This should be fun. Also I have dome my research and have links bellow to some great videos that go hands on with this New Device. Should I order one for my cvhannel. I was not asked by Rode to Review any of their devices and yet my channel uses them all the time and I have invested thousands on Rode Products over the years. ARE YOU LISTENING RODE??????

I was asked by YoloLiv to check out this YoloCam S3 Web camera and give my feedback. When YoloLiv said this camera had "DSL Like Quality" I decided to invite them to send it to me. With the exception of a few gifts from friends I have recieved I purchase the gear in my studio that I review and this is the first time I was sent an item to review. I have been however asked before and decided to pass. I shot parts of this video as you will see Unboxing and setting it up to compare with my DSLR as I was using it the very first time. I did not brealk the seal before the unboxing in this video. I did however see other videos on the product on YouTube and read the information on Yoliv's Web page. Disclaimer: To be clear before I would even consider YoloLiv sending me this YoloCam S3 Camera I made sure they understood my ethics and that I may not like it and if so would not do a review on it. They agreed that I am not under any obligation to review it and they have no say in what I would say if I decided it was something I would use in my studio and review on this channel. They also do not get to see the video before it is released and they have no influence on the video. I have a number of Web Cameras that over the years I have purchased and used. Currently I have been using two of them in my Live Streams. Recently I purchased a RodeCaster Video switcher and I'm currently testing it as well I'm using it to produce this video. It allows you to use PTZ cameras via NDI and you can also use up to 2 WEB Cameras via USB C but they must be "uncompressed video" for them to work. I am excited to say that the YoloCam S3 is exactly that (uncompressed) and it in fact does work with the RodeCaster Video. When I unboxed the S3 with cameras rolling in this video I was actually shocked and impressed and decided to share that footage with you as I compared it to my Canon EOS R with a 24-70 2.8 L lens. MY Canon EOS R Retails for over $1,600.00 new and my Canon lens came with my Canon 5D Mark IV that retailes body and lens for over 4,400.00 US $. Well, you can see for yourself the results in this video. Thank you YoloLive for sending the YoloCam S3 to me to check out. I hope they allow me to keep it and do more testing with the RodeCaster Video. The link below is an Amazon Affiliate Link and when you use we receive funds from Amazon yet you pay the same.
