Almost immediately with my Lumix G7 I realised I needed what’s called a “dummy battery” so you can plug the camera into power instead of running it on battery. What you need depends on the camera, but this is one for my G7.
For my main camera, I have a second-hand Lumix G7 (bought from the awesome mpb.com) connected to an Elgato Cam Link 4K. Getting used to using a “proper” camera and optimising the correct settings for capture has and is still taking me some time. I think the last time I had such a device was a Nikon D90 a long time ago.
I have an Elgato green screen, but my lighting situation has made it challenging to get it to work well.
Sitting on the camera’s hot shoe mount is an Elgato Key Light, a compact, app-controlled LED panel designed for content creators. It delivers bright, colour-temperature-adjustable light and is controllable via the Elgato Control Center app or a Stream Deck. It’s now discontinued by Elgato, so I bought it second-hand, I honestly don’t know why Elgato discontinued it, as it is a great product.
The camera sits on a monitor/desk-mounted camera arm bracket — a metal clamp that slots between two monitors to position a camera at eye level. Great for webcam replacement setups.
Bought from the wonderful mpb.com, I have a second-hand Panasonic Lumix G7 mirrorless camera as my main camera, connected to an Elgato Cam Link 4K. Getting used to using a “proper” camera and optimising the correct settings for capture has and is still taking me some time.
