I had so much fun designing this #3dprinted ATEM Mini stand, and I'm so excited to be able to offer it for sale as a real life product you can actually buy!

It's available now shipping from the US, UK, or as a downloadable STL file to print yourself! It will soon be available shipping from Australia as well!

Check the link in my bio for more info!

Designed using @shapr3dapp on my iPad, printed on the Prusa Mini+, and distributed by @dvestore, it takes a team!

If it is this difficult to convince people to put a piece of fabric over their faces to prevent the transmission of disease so they don’t die or kill others… the outlook on getting humans to do all of those abstract, fiddly cybersecurity things required to be safe online is ☠️

Bad day to be a frequent flier. A company you probably never heard of got breached. Turns out they are a 3rd party supplier to a large segment of the airline industry and now thanks to the supply chain, it’s raining breach notices. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/sita-data-breach-affects-millions-of-travelers-from-major-airlines/

5) who will tell you about as much and charge you about $350 for it
6) then go get a “second opinion” and get a completely opposite advice

would depend on the quality - is it just a webcam, for example, or a DSLR quality image? - but several thousand dollars for the latter, at least.

in your case, is this for using with zoom/teams/webex/etc or live streaming or recording or some combination of the three?

After doing some research on VAT as a US seller here is what I have learned:

1) if your sales don't exceed $35,000 you don't need to collect or pay VAT
2) except sometimes you do
3) this is all changing July 1, 2021
4) this is not tax advice, go talk to your local tax specialist

speaking for myself, if my options were to make all those choices myself or buy a box where those choices were made for me by someone who actually knew what they were doing, i'd opt for the latter

Yeah I hear you.

Interestingly, photo booths have a similar problem and have recently begun to productize similar kits:

you say that, but even within the camera/teleprompter/screen category there's so many different options. Do you want a DSLR? webcam? How about the screen, is it a generic monitor? iPad?

I could see putting together a kit with a USB webcam and small 7" monitor, but that's only going to be useful in certain cases too. Trying to make something packaged up with a DSLR is just not really going to be possible.

i get that lighting and so on is highly variable, but for camera/teleprompter/screen i would pay a lot of money to not have to not wire it together myself.

put it all in a box with an optional tripod and they’d sell.

I second the thoughts here and also vouch, definitely should chat with @aaronpk.

Speaking of which... I had the "meetup" recording pack pretty well organized (per many of Aaron's suggestions) and kept thinking, maybe this gets turned into a packaged option.

Yeah there's a lot to it, there isn't really a one size fits all which is likely why this isn't more packaged up. And even if there was, it'd be really expensive, likely way out of the price range of what people expect.

i thought the developer experience gap was bad until i had to wire together a DSLR, teleprompter, teleprompter display, mic and lighting.

how has someone not packaged all of this up in a single vendor solution yet?

Great one!! Already reached out to the UK guys. Can you tell more about the super short HDMI cables? And I would love to know more about using Companion to control two ATEMs over StreamDeck (maybe a YT video idea?). Best Tim
