MY PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
stream deck xl
I love Stream Deck because it's a product only limited by your needs and creativity. A Stream Deck could simply act as a switchboard for transitions and voice effects, or with a little extra effort, become its own workstation.
Modular Rigging System
multi mount
The Multi Mount System is the glue to my entire setup. I have my lights, camera, and even VR Base Stations mounted on Master Mount L's and S's. It also has nearly universal compatibility with DSLR and mirrorless cameras with its 1/4" ball head swivel. What's by far my favorite part of the Multi Mount system is the simplicity in the setup process, as it needs zero tools to install.
Premium Microphone and Digital Mixing Solution
Wave:3
The complexities of audio issues have probably affected every content creator at least once, but the Wave Link software removed all of mine at once. Being able to adjust the volume of what you hear and what your stream hears through the digital mixer sounds so simple, but is honestly such a life saver for someone like me, who likes his music and games VERY loud. It's a must-purchase.
What advice would you give to first time creators?
Don't be afraid to collaborate, and understand that there is no right way to do this. What someone else does won't always work for you, so don't be afraid to try new things and be okay when they don't work. Don't let the illusion of hard work equals success drive you to burning yourself out of content creation. Take advantage of all social media platforms and accept that it does take some luck to make it. Never stop having fun.What is so special about being an Elgato Partner?
Elgato cares. I never imagined when I started making content that I would work with any company, let alone one as outstanding as Elgato. I am very unconventional in my creation, and I've never felt that I needed to sacrifice part of myself to keep working with them. There's no way to explain the motivation I get knowing that they believe in me enough to support me the way they do. Everyone has only shown me kindness and support, and I just hope my work reflects that support
