HyperX QuadCast microphone
- Buy HyperX QuadCast
HyperX has long established itself as one of the most reliable brands for the streaming and esports industries. The company produces a variety of devices and accessories for gamers, among which its headphones and microphones are particularly well-known. When it comes to the latter, we recommend taking a look at the HyperX QuadCast. It is not the most expensive model in the HyperX series, but it is perfectly suited for aspiring content creators. HyperX QuadCast microphones are often seen on leading talk podcasts and are also used by Twitch streamers.
Webcam Razer Kiyo Pro
- Buy Razer Kiyo Pro
No streamer today can do without a camera in their broadcasts. Choosing the right camera is a very difficult task, as there is a large number of models, and the price range is very wide. To avoid getting lost in this diversity, it is better to choose something from trusted brands. The Razer Kiyo PRO model provides everything a streamer needs: Full HD 1080p 60 FPS image transmission, an adaptive CMOS sensor for image adjustment, and a shock-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 3 lens (for the most intense broadcasts).
Logitech G733 headphones
- Buy Logitech G733
Headphones are just as essential for any streamer as a webcam and a microphone. Many esports athletes prefer devices from Logitech — this brand sponsors several top teams in various disciplines. Additionally, it is one of the most discussed brands on Twitch. The Logitech G733 headphones have many cool features: Lightsync RGB lighting, Blue VO!CE microphone technology, additional PRO-G audio drivers for better sound quality, and, of course, the absence of wires.
Stream Deck Elgato USB-C
- Buy Elgato USB-C
The Elgato Stream Deck is an indispensable tool for any streamer. This console features eight programmable buttons, a screen with battery charge indicators for gadgets, and separate volume mixers. Essentially, it's like having a small director's panel right on your desk. Streaming with this device is a pleasure. By the way, many Twitch streamers use this particular model.
AVerMedia GC553 Live Gamer ULTRA capture card
If you are streaming games from a console, then you cannot do without a good capture card. The AVerMedia GC553 works with any console and operating system, supports capturing images in 4K HDR, and is not at all demanding in terms of configuration (it works with standard drivers). It's also a must-have if you want to offload your computer's processor while streaming a new game with cool graphics.
Elgato Green Screen
A backdrop screen is the easiest and most convenient solution for streamers who have not yet set up their own studio. In fact, you can choose practically any green screen backdrop, as they are functionally very similar to each other, but the Elgato Green Screen has a convenient retractable stand that can be set up/ taken down in just a few seconds. It's a great option for those who can't hang a cloth on the wall (or if you have clutter in the room).
CACENCAN Boom Arm, 360° Rotatable Microphone Stand
One of the most important tools for keeping your desk organized is a flexible microphone stand. It allows you to effortlessly move around the microphone and remove extra wires from the table. This helps, for instance, when multiple people are on camera but only one microphone is available. While being small in size, the CACENCAN Boom Arm stand offers 360 degrees of rotation. It is ideal for streamers as well as for gamers.
RALENO15W RGB Streaming Light
Correctly set up lighting can completely change the picture on your webcam. It is with the help of light panels and colored lamps that streamers create that "cozy atmosphere" in their streams. A simple and versatile device for this purpose is the RALENO 15W RGB Streaming Light — this lamp has flexible brightness adjustment (from 1% to 100%) and light temperature (2500-8500K), as well as 360° spectrum color RGB backlight. With a remote control, you can effortlessly operate everything.
TONOR Acoustic Panel
Acoustic panels are not only a soundproofing method but also a stylish decorative element. You have probably seen such panels in the rooms or studios of many streamers. They look absolutely stunning. If you want something similar, take a look at the TONOR 6Pack RGB Hexagon Acoustic Panels set — it is easy to install and it features RGB backlighting, which can also be controlled with a remote control.
NEEWER Teleprompter
Many viewers mistakenly believe that only television presenters use a prompter, but recently content creators have also been paying attention to this device. It is often used for recording commercials, when a streamer or blogger needs to look into the camera and simultaneously talk about a product. With a prompter, you no longer need to memorize lines from scripts and do numerous retakes. It is very convenient and saves a lot of time!
