Multicam set up for podcasting!
Hello, I’m looking to find what is the best camera brand / model / set up for initially 2 cameras + my Sony A7 III – so I can run professional podcasts with 1 host and 1 guest?
In the past I had 2 x FS7 in-house that we used for a wide range of commercial projects. I’ve since switched up into building a studio in thailand and fallen off the latest gear knowledge.
I have budget to buy 2 cameras, $5-15k depending on what is delivers.

Hey Max,
It really comes down to what your end destination is for the podcast, and how much other equipment that you’ll need?
Do you want to stream live?
Is your preference HDMI or SDI out?
(I/P is also a consideration)
Will there be a live-mix, or is it post-produced.
There is no right answer to this, as it is all about your needs and built in flexibility.Last year I went overboard with Elgato. I have yet to set the webcam up as I have both Canon EOS-R50 / iPhone and iPad. But they are currently only used for stop frame animation.
Their lighting gear is great to work with, and the overhead camera mount works a treat.A friend of mine pointed me to Elgato, as they and other users have put together a list of cameras that are suitable for streaming (HDMI), including whether you can switch in on-screen info off for streaming, and if the battery has unlimited runtime:

Start with the end in mind, and work your way from there – by the sound of it, you already have the cameras sorted, so you just need to connect the dots.

Cam Link Compatibility (4K and Pro) – Elgato
Got a mirrorless or DSLR camera? Wondering if it's compatible with Cam Link 4K or Cam Link Pro? While both can capture any HDMI input, it’s best to verify your camera first.
