Recording and Game Equipment

This is some of the gear I use across our channels. To find out more information where Ihave been able to find it, please click on the images. Thanks

Elgato Green Screen:
This is the screen I use. It is so simple to set up and retract. It sits in a hard case and you open it up and just pull up the screen and it holds itself in place :)

Elgato Key Light
This is the light I use. It operates from wifi though your pc or mobile phone. It is extremely powerful and easy to use. Once you have the settings you like, you don't really need to alter them again. Also like the fact it sits behind the monitor out of the way and doesn't take up space like a traditional tripod light.

Logitech Webcam
This is the camera I use. It is used by thousands of youtubers, worldwide. there is a newer version out which comes with a green screen app but from what I have seen it seems to be hit and miss to its functionality. Whereas this one is simple but easy to use

Gaming Laptop
Bought this due to lack of space to have a desktop with youngster around. Didn't know at the time I would end up in my own room so would have got a desktop pc. It does the job for all that I need so can't grumble. Copes with my video editing etc with no issues :)

Microphone 
Used this since a few months after gaming channel was created.
Brilliant mike which I am very happy with and would buy again if the need arose. My son has just bought one for his channel as well. I use this for narration on all my channels

Main Game Capture Card 
I bought this as had problems with the other capture card below. I then found out many months later that it was not the fault with the capture card but a new windows update which turned off power to the usb ports. You can turn this function off though I have now found out. Anyway this beauty records to a sd card, which is ideal if you had problems like I did. It records without any pc, although you will need a separate micro sd. Ideal if you are going to a friends and want to record game play. You can then either move the switch to the sd card and it will come up on a pc if connected by usb or take the card out and plug into a pc for editing

Secondary Game Capture Card
This was the first capture card I bought and still use it for my old consoles used with various adapters. It worked flawlessly until issues described above which were not its fault. It has recorded everything from the nes upwards

Gaming Keyboard

This was a recent addition to John's equipment. The reason behind is now he edits everything on a tv screen instead of laptop monitor. Through hdmi out on his laptop
