Hey everyone,

I want to start doing TikTok Live streams for a few hours a day and I have zero experience with streaming gear. I need your help picking the right camera.

My priorities:

1. No overheating - this is my biggest fear. Streams cant cut out.
2. Good quality - needs to look clean and professional.
3. Easy to use - preferably plug-and-play without a capture card if possible.

Budget is around $1200 USD for the camera. Can stretch a bit for essentials.

I've read the Panasonic GH5 and GH6 are good. Are they actually worth it for live streaming? Also, would a dedicated video recorder (Atomos, Blackmagic, etc.) be a smarter move to bypass recording limits and prevent overheating? I'm open to mirrorless, camcorders, or recorder setups. Just need something reliable that wont die mid-stream.

Also, what accessories (lighting, mic, etc.) are absolute must-haves that I should budget for?

Thanks for helping out a total newbie!

Weet iemand wat het was? Dit was in ieder geval geen vuurwerk.

Edit: het had zelfs een secundaire explosie/knal erachter. Moet haast wel iets groots zijn geweest.

Ik zit zelf in omgeving centrum.

I've been going down a serious rabbit hole lately and I cannot stop. Send help.

I'll go first:

1. Bottega Veneta Jodie

2. Loewe Puzzle

3. Prada Re-Edition

My list shifts constantly though. A few months ago it was completely different and I'm sure in 3 months I'll be down a whole new rabbit hole lol.

So tell me, what's living rent free in YOUR head lately?
