This is the main camera I use to stream and film the MJS Daily Recap, YouTube videos, and my 2 podcasts. It’s compact, has a flip-out screen, and can film in 4K.
I was searching for extra batteries for the Sony ZV-1 and didn’t want to spend the extra money on official Sony batteries. I took a chance on this 3-pack with charger and they have been great so far.
When I pre-ordered the Sony ZV-1, there was a package deal that included this grip/tripod. This little thing is super useful. I use it every day for the MJS Daily Recap and for both of my podcasts, Fueled By Progress and AM In The PM.
I wanted a USB microphone for my desk that I could use to live stream the MJS Daily Recap and record videos with. I had seen this one being used by other creators online and I really couldn’t pass it up given the color scheme. The sound quality is top-notch for a USB mic and it looks fantastic.
Since the HyperX QuadCast was going to always be at my desk, I wanted make it easily accessible and easily moveable for when I wasn’t using it. I found this boom arm for a very reasonable price and have been very happy with it so far. It even has a little hook underneath the desk clamp. That’s where I store my Anker Q10s.
I’m going to honest, I did everything in my power to avoid buying this when I started streaming. Not only was it hard to get in early-2020, but I couldn’t justify the $130 price tag when Sony was allegedly going to be releasing software to do the same thing for free. Eventually, I gave in. It turned out to be one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
Just a simple, yet very necessary, accessory cable to connect my Elgato Cam Link 4K to my Sony ZV-1. Make sure you get a long enough cable, especially if you have a adjustable sit/stand desk!
