What’s LazarBeam’s Streaming Setup? Need Advice

I recently started watching LazarBeam and I’m blown away by his smooth streams and clear quality. I want to upgrade my setup but get overwhelmed with all the gear choices. I bought a decent microphone and a gaming PC, but I’m unsure about the camera and lighting. Should I get this? Any tips?

Definitely look into his camera setup. He's using a DSLR, I think, not just a webcam.

Mike, Yeah, I heard he uses a Canon EOS M50. It makes a huge difference.

Lighting is just as important as camera. I recommend ring lights or softboxes.

I use a ring light and it really improved my stream quality. You don’t need to spend a fortune.

David, I think he uses a Shure SM7B. It’s a bit pricey but worth it.

Can someone recommend a budget-friendly camera for streaming? I want decent quality but not break the bank.

I’ve tried different setups, and I think a good capture card is key if you’re using a DSLR.

Brian, I use an Elgato HD60. It’s reliable and easy to set up.

Do I really need a separate lighting setup, or can I get by with natural light?

Nick, natural light works but it’s inconsistent. I prefer a dedicated light for steady quality.

Megan, Ethernet connection is the way to go. Wi-Fi can cause lag.

Is it worth investing in a good webcam (like Logitech Brio) with all the streaming gear?
