It has been a minute since I posted on here, hasn't it? Last time I posted was with my last YouTube video, and that was back in April. :FeelsWeirdMan:
So yeah, I have an IRL backpack now. Decided to drop some money and get equipment to finally improve the IRL stream quality from poor 720p to better 1080p. It is more stable now and a bit more clearer. :nagaHeh:
I am using two modems for now, a dedicated hotspot modem from Verizon and my personal phone. Both using USB tethering. I can push about 4000kbps up now, and this is with h.265 so it looks a lot clearer now. Doing it this way allows me to squeeze way more quality out with my bandwidth, and the two modems make that connection a lot more stable. :PausersHype: Might look into getting another dedicated hotspot, maybe from T-Mobile directly, but that is kind of expensive and not really something I need yet. :nagaAnalyze:
I am still using a gopro, but mounted on the backpack instead of on my head. I enabled the horizontal lock so it wont tilt too much, and I have a dedicated sony stereo lavalier microphone for crisp audio quality. Also using an elgato camlink so I have a basic hdmi input for anything I decide to get in the future. :pepeD:
Already looking at getting this converter box that setups a wifi so I can still use the old wireless streaming with the gopro while taking advantage of the backpack. I know GoPro is on the way out but DJI action just doesn't match in quality with the GoPro (yet) and the Osmo is way too large. My opinion might change in the future, who knows? :Clueless:
I also got a new chat phone to replace the google pixel 6 pro. It's not that I don't like the Pixel 6 Pro, I just don't like the one I have. It has a replaced, non-oem screen in it and it has always been a pain to use since. Random screen frame drops, horrible touch response, screen flashing issues... I just wanted to get something new. Replaced it with a used Samsung Galaxy 24+. This thing is a lot thinner and lighter, already like it a lot more. :ThumbsUp:
As for what I am going to do with it? Well, stream it:

Things I want to do? I know I want to start going to different places; explore different parks and nature and stuff. Do some photography and chill. I also want to try going to different thrift stores and seeing what wacky electronics I can get and mess around with. Maybe driving streams where the streamer doesn't stare at chat while driving. :peepoGiggles: Eat some food? :nickJAM:
Definitely going to be using it for lawn cutting and yard work streams going forward. Watch the last one here:

As for YouTube videos... I have some ideas but I keep forgetting to set them up. This weekend for sure. :PepeLaugh:
