I have bought a lot of gear in my job as a filmmaker, content creator, and now as a Streamer… and a lot of it has gathered dust, or ended up being replaced... soooo lets talk overhyped streamer gear I regret buying... 👑Full Budget Streamer Gear List: https://kit.co/Eljayem 🔴 Check Out OWN3D's Pro For FREE https://bit.ly/TryOWN3DProFREE 👑Watch a FULL BREAKDOWN of the Samson Q2u: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjCJbhjFYiA 🔴 Download FREE Animated Overlays Now: https://bit.ly/FREEStreamOverlays Why Should You Upgrade A Microphone First? We are assuming that you have a PC that can run a decent stream quality, then the most important purchase is a good microphone, if someone drops by and you are streaming 720p or even 480p they are usually okay with it, but if your audio hurts their ears or doesn’t sound right I promise you they will leave. There are plenty of affordable USB mics that sound amazing, and you can take them to even better heights when you apply the right filters that are free and come with OBS and Slobs, our recommendation in this video is the Samson Q2u. 🕘Timestamps: 0:00 Small Streamers Waste So Much Money On Gear! 0:44 Sponsor Segment 1:23 Why You Should Never Buy A Shure Sm7b And GoXLR 3:00 The Best Streaming Microphone Only Costs $99 3:27 What To Use Instead Of A GoXLR 4:38 Streamers DO NOT Need A StreamDeck 6:05 Why I Can't Recommend Elgato Products 6:22 Why You Should Buy The Thronmax S6 Microphone Arm 7:00 Why I NEVER Recommend Cheap Headphones 9:04 The Best And Strangest Streamer Gear I've Ever Bought What Are The Best Webcams and Lights For Streamers? Your lighting is really what is going to make or break your webcam or camera quality, you can get some cheap LED panels from Neewer 90W or the Dazznee D50's Panels are great as well. I use the Logitech C922 Pro, and then use these little LED light panels to light myself. This little light is enough to light my face, and then I manually set my webcam settings which you really should be doing as well, slap a custom LUT I made for myself to make the colours look nice, and we’re good to go. The lights behind me aren’t as bright so I stand out and they make the background look nice, which is important. You should try to make your background look nice or look at grabbing a cheap green screen. 👑Watch a FULL BREAKDOWN of the Audio-Technica AT2005USB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsxyWBl-fbI 👑Watch a FULL BREAKDOWN of the Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tblhobnggJw The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts.
