Heat management

Never had a known issue caused by overheating but I want to be proactive before I cause a dropped stream so wanted to see what others are doing. My setup:

- Mevo Start

- Slate AX Gl.inet router

- Starlink Mini

- Ankler C200 battery pack

- Cheap amazon clamshell case I originally bought from Amazon for rain protection in the fall: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DF2M79H4/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_plhdr=t&aaxitk=7f207b3a4e50fe28740d9e36cc524d16&hsa_cr_id=0&qid=1779225870&sr=1-1-9e67e56a-6f64-441f-a281-df67fc737124&ref_=sbx_s_sparkle_sbtcd_asin_0_title&pd_rd_w=EmK3l&content-id=amzn1.sym.2fb72bc8-96ef-420d-b08f-c04b69f36507%3Aamzn1.sym.2fb72bc8-96ef-420d-b08f-c04b69f36507&pf_rd_p=2fb72bc8-96ef-420d-b08f-c04b69f36507&pf_rd_r=PNZMPT7VGKJ5YNYP2D6W&pd_rd_wg=MjX41&pd_rd_r=4bd5a224-fe74-4d6e-a7c8-5acfa5530302&th=1

- Small battery packs to use to charge phone/tablet and power small fan on the clamshell case

Questions:

  1. I haven't decided if the case I have for the Mevo is good or bad for overheat protection. Pro: it's white. Cons: It prevents the camera itself from getting direct airflow. There is a small fan but I question how much air it actually pulls. Wanted to get a sense if this is helpful or hurtful for my setup.

  2. What does everyone do for their other gear? I setup the mini on a tripod. Hang the bettery from the hook on it and use my backpack and Pelican cases to create a shady spot under the tripod. So far has worked okay but wondering if anyone has any better solutions. Wondering if the battery pack or router overheating is a legitimate concern. Less concerned about phones as everyone has phones at ball games without issue and I don't use them for any sensitive tasks as the Mevo connects directly to the router.

Phantom firmware update issue

I have a minorly inconvnenet issue that started this baseball season and I was hoping for some suggestions for a solution. Issue is - almost every day I goto connect to the camera for the first time I get a notification that my Mevo Start has a firmware update available and needs to update. I comply, wait a few minutes, the camera flashes some lights and beeps and then cycles, connects to wifi without issue and I go on with my life. BUT this keeps happening. At first I had thought there were a number of sequential updates that couldnt be skipped and I was catching up on a winter of no use but I have noted that it is asking for the same update each time.

I have tried clearly app cache, deleting and reinstalling. I have also used a pin to factory reset the camera. Neither helped.

Also noted camera connects to wifi fine but I cant get it to connect directly to phone for data over Bluetooth. Not a big deal as I have a wifi travel router that I prefer over my phone but nevertheless something is amiss. I get the message "Mevo camera has unsupported BLE protocol. Please update the application to use this feature" (Yes, I am on latest version of Mevo software).

Thanks

Dual WAN setup?

Hi

I am looking to upgrade my current streaming setup (phone as wifi Hotspot for mevo, tablet on network for launching gamechanger/mevo app).

I am thinking of ordering the slate ax router, a large power bank and a starlink mini. I think data over starlink and a travel router would itself be an improvement. I also think tethering my 5g phone wired to the travel router would probably be a slight improvement in reliability. But what would be ideal is to run 2x WAN (starlink and tethered 5g hotspot) so that if either service lags or goes down the stream stays up and if both connections are working as expected I have some extra upload bandwidth to work with.

I've read about Speedify on here but see its a paid service and not sure if its worth it. Wanted to check if anyone has used it and can comment if its worth it. Or better yet if there is a free alternative.

I think its the best of both worlds that if I have starlink and a kid bumps over my antenna that the stream stays up while I fix it. Or if starlink is for some reason having bad data rates it puts some upload through my Hotspot if it needs to. but looking for best options.

thanks!
