Hey all. I am desperately trying to simplify my streaming and recording setup, and would appreciate some help. For years, I have used a GoPro to record in 4k, and an iPhone to stream to gamechanger. I used to just stream 720p using cellular data on the iphone, but this season, I have been trying to stream 1080p on GC. I have also added an AT&T hotspot (Netgear Nighthawk M7 pro). On some fields, I have had success streaming 1080p, though frequently at tournaments, I have had to restart the stream at 720p due to choppy video or paused streams. Both the GoPro and the phone are typically mounted to the backstop using a nexus mount. I also run the pocket radar smart coach and the pocket radar app on the same phone that is streaming to GC. In addition, when it’s hot outside, I frequently run two fans that are attached to the backstop, blowing air onto the gopro and the streaming iphone. This setup has been problematic lately because it is a hassle to move all the equipment to another field with the next game starting almost immediately, it has been a challenge keeping the equipment cool (even with the fans), and sometimes the field will have net backstops, which makes my current setup unusable I usually end up putting the phone on a tripod just to be able to stream. Definitely not the best solution.
I have tried two new solutions. I have tried using the Mevo start to record and stream, and I have tried using an Avkans Go to record and stream. So far, I have been able to record in 4k using the Avkans go, but when I try to stream the game on GC at the same time (720p), all I get is audio and a black screen instead of video streaming. And the recording on the SD card is fine. Since I couldn’t get that to work, I tried recording 1080p on the Mevo start, while streaming 720p. This time, the stream to GC was good, but the video on the Mevo’s SD card was choppy and unwatchable. In all recording equipment, I have been using a sandisk extreme microSD XC. V30, U3, A2, and different capacities.
I would love to only have to use one piece of equipment for both recording and streaming for ease, and for cooling (i have white clamshell cases for both the Mevo and the Avkans, and they both have fans). Is there anything that I'm doing wrong that's keeping me from having a successful experience with these cameras? Would there be any settings info that might htelp? Thanks!
