TheNYCWalkingShow
Sifat walks Manhattan live most days: immersive street tours, city events and cultural spots, around a hundred viewers at a time.
We askedWhat camera and mic are you running for this?
“I'm just using my phone without any mic at all. Just my phone.”
The rigA phone, hand-held, on the phone's own microphone. No gimbal, no lav, no modem.
Our takeIt works because the stream is the city, not the voice. The first upgrade for a walking stream is a wireless lav, so the commentary survives traffic; the second is a magnetic power bank, because the phone is also the encoder and the radio.
