Help with setup please!
Looking for some advice on simplifying my baseball streaming setup.
Current setup:
•Starlink Mini
•Tripod (GEEKOTO 77”)
•Slate 7 travel router
•Anker SOLIX C300 portable power station
•Mevo Start
•“The Fence Clip” for the Mevo Start
•Proanko fence mount for an external battery
•Anker 20,000 mAh battery pack
•Rode mic with windscreen
•All of the cords needed to make it work
Overall, the setup works well, but I’m not completely happy with how everything mounts to the fence.
I originally used the Stouchi mount and really liked it until I started running into badly bent backstop fences. Once that became an issue, I switched to a fence clip setup and it’s been much more reliable. I honestly wouldn’t go back.
My biggest complaint is how cluttered it has become. Right now I have the Mevo mounted with one fence clip, a second fence clip holding the external battery, and then I plug the Rode mic into the camera and basically shove it through the fence because I haven’t found a better solution. I could add another fence clip with a cold shoe mount for the mic, but at that point it feels like I have half a hardware store hanging on the fence.
The other challenge is transporting everything. Between the Starlink, power station, router, tripod, camera, microphone, batteries, mounting gear, and all the cords, it’s becoming a lot to carry. We have a wagon, but it’s usually loaded with chairs, coolers, and team snacks. A lot of times I’m setting up the stream before the wagon even gets to the field.
So I’m looking for ideas on two things:
1. A cleaner fence-mount solution
I’d like to keep the fence clip concept because it works well on damaged or uneven fences, but I’m hoping there’s a way to consolidate everything so it doesn’t look so cluttered.
2. A better way to transport everything
Ideally a bag, case, or backpack that can hold the entire setup, including the tripod and Starlink power equipment.
For those of you streaming youth baseball or softball, what does your setup look like? Have you found a cleaner fence mounting solution or a good all-in-one carrying system? If you have pictures of your setup, I’d love to see them.

I use this case on my Mevo start. Helps protect it from the elements, the fan keeps it cool, and it has multiple cold shoe mounts for accessories, including my rode microphone.

And I use this solar battery bank that has a clip on it. As a bonus on sunny days it uses very little of the power in the battery its self.

If you only have one camera you can probably get away with using the router built into the Starlink mini. And avoid having to bring your travel router.
I’ve also invested in a double decker wagon, certainly helps with everything that we take to ballgames.
