WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.759 Say yellow to yolo with the Yolo S7 00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:10.000 camera. It is a very unique webcam in 00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:14.400 the sense that it is a webcam designed for streaming and content creation that 00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:17.520 has a removable lens. That's so exciting. What do we get in the box? We 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:24.640 get that sleeve so you can bring that camera around. We get quite a beefy type 00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:27.840 A to type C which is our data cable and it's quite long. That looks to be about 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.079 10 ft. That's pretty nice. You could bring this camera as far as 10 ft from 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.520 your computer. That's incredible. Oh yeah, that's a little facicious. It is 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:39.840 meant to be a webcam. So 10 ft is actually plenty long. In this box, we 00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:44.079 have a C to C power cable. Looks to be about the same beiness and length, maybe 00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:47.360 a little bit shorter. Uh but both of these connectors actually have a little 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:52.160 screwing bit so that it locks so that even when you move the camera, you're not in super large danger of just 00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:57.600 yinking out a cable in the middle of a live stream. Uh which would be catastrophic. We have our quick start 00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:02.559 guide and our product manual. And that's it. YOLO also sent us a power adapter. 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:08.199 Um although you could presumably use a different USB PD one. What am I looking 00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:08.199 at? Oh, 00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:14.320 that's a really long brick. If it's on a 00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:19.439 surge protector that's on the ground, not a big deal. But if you're plugging it into a wall, that is a lot of weight 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:23.119 on something that uh has very little resistance. This little doohickey is 00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:26.960 good for up to 45 watts at 20 volts, but that wouldn't be necessary. The camera 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:30.720 itself uses 12 watts of power. Uh, and so this should be plenty. But you also 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:35.920 have a lot of versatility in the kind of power bricks you could be using. Inside 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:40.479 this one, we have oh, nice. A little L bracket uh, with quarter20 slots as well 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:44.799 as a slot that we could put another quarter20 to mount our camera in its 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:50.880 vertical orientation. This is predominantly for short form content 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:52.479 creation presumably, although that makes 00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:55.680 less sense to me than it being a streaming camera. I have a lot of 00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.079 questions about this thing that I hope I will be able to answer. Last thing 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:03.759 inside this box is our 1/420 tripod little screw. The L bracket itself is 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.799 actually a pretty good quality. This is pretty on par with something I would 00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:10.160 expect from like a small rig or something. And the fact that you have 00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:15.599 the three mounting holes on the back is actually a pretty nice quality of life thing. Uh thankfully we got some pretty 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:19.920 good versatility. We have a microphone jack, we have an HDMI out, and then we 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:24.720 have two type-C's. One is for power and one is for data. And that's because you 00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:28.879 can actually stream using the HDMI out and the type-C. The type-C will be 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:33.519 limited to 1080p, but if you're Twitch streaming, that's more than enough, 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.160 especially when you go non- full screen. So, I don't think that's a huge huge 00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:43.280 factor. And if I was using this at home, I actually probably would do that to avoid having another uh HDMI box or card 00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:47.280 in order to read that. On the top, we have our cold shoe mount so that you 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:51.280 could put accessories. Presumably, you could put your mic that you'd plug into 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:55.920 the back. sides very plain bottom quarter 20. On the front we have our 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:59.599 sensors and laser for the time of flight autofocus which is a pretty cool feature 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.040 for a camera like this. It uses basically a laser and the time it takes 00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:07.440 for that laser to come back to the camera in order to measure the depth 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:12.959 which would allow for really fast autofocus. YOLO claims 008 seconds of 00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:16.319 autofocus. Although uh my guess is that measurement isn't including the whole 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.879 process of it and it also will depend on the lens. Yes. Because when you're using 00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:24.720 a camera with good autofocus, having the right lenses on that camera can make a 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:29.120 huge difference. In fact, YOLO recommends just two lenses. They're 25 00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:33.200 and 15 mil lenses, which should give you a lot of the room without having too 00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:37.440 much fisheying on the lenses, especially as it is a micro four/ thirds camera, so 00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:41.040 there's a crop factor. So, the 25 is about a 50 mm, which is good for 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:44.560 portraits. Uh, and that would be great for a facecam. Um, but actually would 00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:49.280 kind of get a little tight when you really think about it. I'm thinking about it just like I'm thinking about 00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:52.560 how time offlight autofocus has the advantage of being really fast and 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:55.920 really accurate. Uh but it also has a limit in the distance it can measure. 00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:00.799 That's not a big deal for a camera like this that's not really designed to get big wide shots or moving subjects that 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:06.239 are really really far away. And so I think that's a pretty reasonable compromise and a smart design choice for 00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:11.280 its use case which is have a damn good looking webcam baby. And sensor size is 00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:16.079 a huge factor when it comes to having good image. Not only does it mean that 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:19.759 each pixel will be larger, which allows for more light and better lowlight 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.440 performance, it also gives you access to a whole suite of lenses that are 00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:27.360 designed to have a more cinematic look with depth of field, as well as just 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.919 like versatility and how you can use it. And so, I actually think this is a 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:34.240 really, really cool use case for people that are predominantly tied to a computer and streaming all the time. One 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:40.080 thing you'll notice that I haven't talked about is a screen. uh as opposed 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:44.960 to most more versatile cameras, this doesn't have a screen cuz it's expecting 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:47.840 you to be tied to a computer, which uh 00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:51.120 is predominantly a cono. That seems like a really impractical way 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:55.440 of doing it. Like, why not have this be self- sustaining? Although, the 00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:59.600 trade-off could be the money they save on that computing internally uh could be 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:03.440 put towards making a better image quality for the price, but that remains 00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:07.919 to be seen. Just like it remains to be seen if this thing actually can stream 00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:12.080 forever like YOLO claims. They say because of the design and all aluminum 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:15.600 body, it'll dissipate heat fast enough that you could presumably stream 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:20.479 indefinitely, which is fantastic. I haven't had too much issues streaming 00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:24.880 from mirrorless or DSLR in terms of overheating. But I have had overheating 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:29.199 issues mostly when I'm doing internal recording on Sony cameras a few 00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:31.520 generations ago. Um, and it's very very frustrating when you're in the middle of 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:36.960 an interview and you're like, "Can you uh wait 20 minutes while I uh just wait 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.600 here for my equipment to cool off." Thankfully, that won't be a problem with 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:43.759 this. You just press the button, take the lens cap off. Look at that giant 00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:48.080 freaking sensor. Okay, it's not giant compared to like full-frame cameras, but 00:05:45.520 --> 00:05:53.199 compared to webcams, bro, this thing's like four times bigger. It's crazy. This 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:57.360 sensor is a Sony IMX sensor. There's not a ton of technical details. What we do 00:05:55.039 --> 00:06:01.120 know is that it's good for 4K 60 across the whole sensor and has dual native 00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:05.360 ISO. Um, although we don't know specifically which ISOs they're talking 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:09.360 about, but can range from 100 ISO to 9600 ISO. So, that's a pretty dang good 00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:12.880 range. Although, I'm curious to see how grainy it gets at 9600. You know what 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:16.720 I'm saying, dog?

That's probably not what 00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:04.400 you're going to want to do. You're going to want to get some kind of mount for behind your monitor or to an arm. 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:09.120 Thankfully, the quarter20 means that it's going to be fairly easy. The other thing to note is that as a safety 00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:14.240 feature, the sensor is not supposed to activate without a lens. And that's a good thing because if you have your lens 00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:17.520 off and the sensor on, the electrostatic can actually draw dust to it and damage 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.880 the sensor. So, that's a nice little nifty little safety feature. You know 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:25.440 what I'm saying? I do have to say this looks pretty good. Uh, it has the 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:29.520 benefit of that proper not quite cine lens. Um, so you get that cool depth of 00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:35.039 field effect like you can see Glenn in the back is out of focus. Um, it's doing 00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:39.919 a pretty good job tracking me. This isn't the recommended lens. Um, but in 00:07:37.599 --> 00:07:44.080 terms of if I was streaming, that's really not bad. So, let's see what we 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:48.400 got for controls. And I will say that even though the camera is really shaking 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:52.000 on the tripod, you can see in this camera, the actual video feed is not too 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.960 bad. Like it's obviously a little bit jittery, but that's not that bad. 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:59.840 There's got to be some kind of stabilization. Or maybe I'm just losing my mind. In our camera adjustment 00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:03.280 panels, we got our video settings. We can go from landscape to portrait. If I 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:10.560 was using this at home, I would be using it in landscape. Gosh, wow. I can say if 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:13.599 I'm only comparing to webcams, this is the best looking webcam I've ever seen. 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:18.240 if we're comparing two cameras that are the same price as it, that remains to be 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:22.479 seen. And then we have our HDMI resolution. We're actually limited to 00:08:20.080 --> 00:08:25.840 1080p through the USBC. That's plenty for our purposes today. Uh but it's nice 00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:29.680 to know that you could do 4K through the camera, especially if you're making 00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:33.519 YouTube videos. Uh for streaming, I don't think that 4K is as important. 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:41.120 Next, we have our imaging settings. That's a really subtle change in our 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:45.279 white balance. I prefer the cool colors, although I think they got their naming 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:49.839 schemes backward cuz this cool colors actually adjust tending warmer to adjust 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:55.440 for colder lights. Uh, so I think I look better at that. You can adjust your 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:58.800 sharpness uh to really cook those pores. 00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:00.000 Uh, or really soft, which almost looks a 00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:04.959 little bit out of focus, but not too bad. We have contrast. We can cook it or 00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:08.560 uncook it. We can adjust our saturation. It's I can say [music] something sad. 00:09:06.640 --> 00:09:11.760 People ask how you're doing and you have to say you're fine, but you're not 00:09:09.760 --> 00:09:15.680 really fine. Deep down inside, you're hurting. Wow. That felt really real. We 00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:19.600 have our distortion correction, which will adjust for fisheye. Uh although we 00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:24.320 don't need that cuz we're using a 25 mm lens. Uh so you can see I'm actually 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.680 fairly far away like is now me a 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:29.519 centimeter away from touching. This works if you can get the camera behind the monitor. It's a little bit close for 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.440 what I'd be doing in our purposes today. Uh then we got vignetting correction, 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:38.320 which is not as much of a problem I found on microf. It's usually when 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:42.480 you're using zoom lenses on bigger sensors, but it's possible that there's 00:09:39.920 --> 00:09:46.880 lenses that would uh vignette. So, it'll just basically adjust the edges of the 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:51.519 frame to not get darker. Next up, we have our focus. So, first we can adjust 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:55.440 our channel, uh, which should reduce the signal interference between cameras. I 00:09:52.959 --> 00:09:58.480 don't do a ton of multi-cam auto focus stuff, so I've never experienced that 00:09:56.800 --> 00:10:01.440 before, but you can change it so there won't be any interference. Then you have 00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:05.600 your continuous autofocus, your single autofocus, or your face. So face seems 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:09.519 to have some kind of just like face tracking. I imagine for most people 00:10:07.839 --> 00:10:14.560 they'll want that. And we can change the focus speed because although technically 00:10:12.160 --> 00:10:18.079 you want the fastest tracking, sometimes it looks unnatural to have like a robot 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:21.760 autofocus when it's too fast. And there's something like a cinematic 00:10:19.920 --> 00:10:25.360 quality that people actually enjoy more when there's a little bit of a slow 00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:32.560 rack. And so I'm actually going to go standard on my focus speed. Next we got 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.920 our zoom. I wonder what that does. No, 00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:38.720 we have our hot keys. So, we can set different levels of zoom to different keys. Um, but seeing as that we're 00:10:37.040 --> 00:10:45.880 already at the maximum zoom, I'd want to be uh we are not going to need that. 00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:45.880 Next, we have our AI parameter. 00:10:47.839 --> 00:10:54.079 Why are they calling this an AI feature? This is just controlling a basic feature 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:59.440 of the camera. That's stupid. Don't call it AI, man. It's just controlling your 00:10:56.880 --> 00:11:05.200 aperture. We can set the amount of AI blurring they do. uh as well as like the 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:08.560 aperture settings in that menu. So, it wants me to say still. Select your 00:11:07.040 --> 00:11:13.680 preferred image brightness. This one's a little bit different. 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:18.640 Why did it do this weird color thing? This looks terrible. It looks so much 00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:22.800 worse than it did before. Your AI gets a big thumbs down on top of the regular AI 00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:27.200 thumbs down from me. We are going to reset. 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:30.560 So much better. [laughter] Also, I want to have manual control over 00:11:28.959 --> 00:11:34.880 all my stuff. you might want to go to the audio and it's actually seems like it's done a pretty good job getting my 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:38.320 skin tones about where I would want them, but I much prefer having my 00:11:36.640 --> 00:11:41.680 controls all manual. They have two different settings here that do the same 00:11:39.760 --> 00:11:45.680 thing but with a different name. So, if you don't know, the wider you have your 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:48.959 aperture in a lens, the more blurred things are going to look when they're 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:52.800 out of focus. If you have a small little aperture, there's more depth of your 00:11:50.959 --> 00:11:56.079 scene that will be out of focus. If you close your aperture by going to the 00:11:54.160 --> 00:11:59.360 higher numbers, you will not only get a darker image because less light is going 00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:02.959 through the smaller hole, but more of your scene will be in focus. Seeing as 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:08.160 we're having a good time at f1.8, that's great. Or you can use their drop down 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.920 for blur, low, medium, high, which uh 00:12:08.160 --> 00:12:14.399 basically closes your aperture and makes things dark. I feel like that's fine, 00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:18.160 but that should be in the auto side of the settings, not the manual side. Uh so 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:22.480 we're just going to leave that there. Uh next, we have our ISO settings. I 00:12:20.560 --> 00:12:26.560 imagine that it's 400 or 800. So, we'll we'll go to 400. Either of them looks 00:12:25.040 --> 00:12:29.839 pretty good. Like, not particularly grainy. Uh the image quality, it looks 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:34.720 like I've got a pretty good dynamic range, so I think 400 is plenty. Next, we have our shutter speed. And I 00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:39.360 actually think that they're not right about this shutter speed because this is 00:12:36.959 --> 00:12:43.519 60 FPS. And generally, when you're doing camera stuff, you have your shutter 00:12:40.880 --> 00:12:47.519 speed at one over twice your frame rate, so that the shutter is open half of the 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:52.160 frame. That's the most cinematic look. But it wouldn't look quite right if 00:12:49.040 --> 00:12:53.519 you're shooting 1/60th with a 60fps 00:12:52.160 --> 00:12:58.240 frame rate. It would look a little bit soft and I don't think that's quite right. So I actually think they're lying 00:12:55.920 --> 00:13:03.200 to me. But this does have sort of have that 30 FPS look even though it's 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:06.240 presumably actually at 60 FPS. So that's fine. And if I'm doing Twitch streaming, 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:09.920 I'm going to be at 60 FPS anyway. Next, we have our white balance, which is 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:14.800 great. The the auto stuff did a pretty darn good job. We got our our Greenland 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:18.480 look and we have our Mexico look. And then we have a blue and red offset or we 00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:23.120 can pick a specific color. I actually thought the auto white balance did a pretty good job. So, I'm just going to 00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:27.120 leave it that on auto. Although, if I was setting up for a long-term stream, I 00:13:25.040 --> 00:13:31.519 probably would find the right setting so that I don't have to worry about it mid-stream kind of shifting. Uh, if I 00:13:29.760 --> 00:13:35.120 have weird color things that happen, we actually have access to more color 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:38.959 correcting. So, you can take a capture image and then color correct that and kind of set that as a preset. We don't 00:13:37.760 --> 00:13:43.120 need to do that. This looks good as it is. And then a live scene button, it put 00:13:41.839 --> 00:13:48.000 everything back on auto, which actually is a good uh thing for me to point out. 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:51.040 In the exposure setting on auto, you can actually have an anti- flicker setting. 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:53.440 So for 50 or 60 Hz [music] depending where you are in the world, and then you 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.800 can kind of have a lot of the same settings. Like you can set your aperture here. Uh but then you can also set sort 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:03.440 of your amount of expected light to compensate for. Again, I'm going to just 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:07.920 go back to manual. That looks really good. And like, not only does it not 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:11.600 have a face light to help light my face, it's actually working against all this 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:16.639 purple bounce, and I have to say it's doing a pretty admirable job at making 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:19.920 my skin not look totally wacky. Like, when I'm looking at it, it looks a 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:25.519 little bit off, but if I was streaming with this, I don't think anyone would comment. It would look totally 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:27.680 acceptable, super sharp. The autofocus 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:32.720 is pretty good. It really wants to do my hand. You can kind of see it in jumps. 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:35.760 You can see when I do this, it goes like 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:37.600 D. But I got to say that autofocus is 00:14:35.760 --> 00:14:41.120 working pretty good at tracking me. It takes a little bit to make sure that 00:14:39.040 --> 00:14:45.199 it's got me. But usually when you're streaming, you're not running around your room too much. And if you are, I 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:47.680 would just crank the brightness in your room and then close your aperture a 00:14:46.800 --> 00:14:53.600 little bit and you're probably going to be covered anyway. I'm not going to record the camera directly into OBS so 00:14:51.920 --> 00:14:57.120 that we can get a better idea of what it'll look like in your recording 00:14:55.199 --> 00:15:01.199 software. There is a little bit more jitteriness on my monitor. I had to 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:05.279 close the app in order to get the feed cuz [music] like most video uh devices 00:15:03.680 --> 00:15:07.839 can only be outputting to one of them at a time which is really an annoying 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:14.480 distinction. I don't know if that's a Windows or OBS thing but freaking figure it out. Uh but you can imagine if I'm 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:17.279 just a tiny little person in the window 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:21.120 that's about as nice as I've seen for a streaming camera. Uh and people use much 00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:26.000 more expensive cameras than this for streaming. But here's the flip side. 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:28.399 This thing is only [music] a webcam. And that could be great. You might be 00:15:27.199 --> 00:15:32.000 someone that's like, "I just want the best video quality when I'm streaming on 00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:38.079 my computer. I don't want to worry about it. I'm never taking my camera away." 00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:39.519 But at the price of $800, which is its 00:15:38.079 --> 00:15:42.320 sale price, but it's one of those sales that goes on forever. So, that's really 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:48.160 just the real price. They just want to pretend like you're saving 100 bucks, you can get a you can get a pretty damn 00:15:45.760 --> 00:15:52.800 good camera. The Sony has a ZV10. The Mark 1, if you buy used, you can get 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:54.560 like 400, 500 bucks, 800 bucks new. The 00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:58.959 Mark II is even better for video, but it's a little bit more. If you don't 00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:03.519 like Sony, Canon has the R50, Nikon has the Z30 that are kind of similar price 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:06.959 brackets uh and I think are much more versatile. 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:11.759 However, I don't think that their video out is 00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:16.079 substantially nicer than this. And so, if you are going to just use that as a 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.720 webcam, this isn't a bad alternative. And it is really good. It was really 00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:22.320 easy. If you're someone that knows nothing about cameras, the auto settings 00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:27.751 did a pretty good job. Not the AI settings, those suck. But $800 without a 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:32.480 lens is a lot of money for a webcam. [music] And if you're starting out in 00:16:29.839 --> 00:16:36.720 content creation, here's a little bit of a tip. Video quality matters up to a 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:41.759 certain point. And when you kind of get past that point, there's a huge drop off 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:45.279 of diminishing returns. For way less than half the price of this thing, 00:16:43.680 --> 00:16:50.160 especially if you're adding a lens, you can get a pretty damn good webcam that 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:54.399 captures you. And that's what matters when you're streaming is you, not the 00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:57.839 camera, not the gear. Are you fun? Are you engaging? Are you confident? Are you 00:16:55.839 --> 00:17:01.360 exciting? That's so much more important. So, if I were you, instead of spending 00:17:00.079 --> 00:17:07.679 800 bucks on this, if you're getting started out, I'd buy like something pretty good at 200 bucks and then treat 00:17:05.360 --> 00:17:10.959 yourself to like a massage for 600 bucks and just like enjoy yourself, come back 00:17:09.439 --> 00:17:16.160 to your stream super recharged, super energized, and like that's a way better 00:17:13.280 --> 00:17:21.120 stream. IMO just like this outro is better than the one I did yesterday cuz 00:17:19.520 --> 00:17:25.919 I didn't do one yesterday. This is the first ShortCircuit I've done this week. And if you're still interested in a 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:29.440 camera in this price range for streaming, uh we actually unboxed the 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:33.200 ZV10 when that came out a couple years ago and so you should watch that one. I 00:17:31.360 --> 00:17:36.720 have a lot of thoughts back then and I don't think they've changed that much 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.720 since
