Hands-on: This tech lets you livestream with 7 cameras. It isnt cheap.
Summary: If you want to be a professional video creator, you might need more than just a smartphone. A company called Obsbot makes special gear that lets you livestream with up to seven cameras at the same time. You can use a touchscreen monitor to switch between different camera angles for your audience on Twitch or YouTube. They even have smart AI cameras that spin 360 degrees to follow your face as you move around the room. But upgrading your equipment is very expensive. While a basic webcam is $179, a full professional bundle with three tracking cameras and a mixer monitor costs a massive $6,669! Fortunately, professional creators can write off the cost on their taxes.
