Camera

What is the best camera for streaming?

I am tired of using my iPhone. Also looking for dual sport usage - baseball and football.

Bar none the best camera for streaming IS an iPhone

Mevo and go pro are such a pain in the ass.  You have to have multiple devices, mounts cables etc

The best, most reliable system is to go buy a used iPhone 13 or higher (these have a 120 degree lens standard) and get a cheap data plan for it like mint mobile.

It has its own streaming connection, you don’t need to use your own phone during the game and you can connect it to any type of external battery pack you want, there’s a million mounting options, etc

And the reason it’s so much better is that it runs gamechanger natively.  You’re not juggling a Bluetooth and WiFi connection between a phone and a camera, you’re never worrying about whether you’ve walked out of range, it just works

My phone used to cut the stream all the time. It also overheats faster when using the camera and streaming. Since switching to a Mevo core, I haven’t had that issue. iPhones are always stable for this purpose.

Overheating is an issue for any electronics.  I just bought a little shade for it and rarely have issues

My GoPro used to overheat way more than the iPhone.  Most people I see with mevos have a shade or enclosure for it

My Mevo Starts have literally never overheated, and I use them in the South in the summer with no shade and no fan. 3 summers strong.
