 ### **Camera: Canon EOS M200 + Elgato Camlink**
 
-The camera I use is a Canon EOS M200. It's a mirrorless SLR with clean HDMI out: what this means in practice is you can plug it into an Elgato Camlink, plug that into your laptop, and it shows up as a webcam - albeit a really, *really* good one. The camera runs off a USB power supply so I don't have to worry about running out of battery halfway through a recording.

-If I can, I'll bring a proper camera tripod along. If not, I'll bring a SmallRig "magic arm" clamp and find a convenient chair, lamp, window frame or something to clamp it to.

 > Bad news: Canon has [apparently discontinued the M200](https://www.canonrumors.com/canon-eos-m-has-been-quietly-discontinued/), along with the rest of the M series, in favour of the [Canon EOS R](https://www.canon.co.uk/cameras/eos-r/) series.  This makes me sad, because the M200 is a wonderful camera.

 ### **Slides: Elgato Game Capture HD60S+**
 
-To capture the speaker's laptop, I use an Elgato Game Capture HD60S+. This works like a Camlink - turns HDMI into a USB video signal - but it has an HDMI output that uses passthrough, so I can plug it in between the speaker's laptop and the venue's projector/screen and then tap a USB feed off the side into my laptop.

 ### **Audio: Ankerwork M650 Wireless Microphones**
 
-The first time I tried this, I used a RODE shotgun microphone attached to the camera, but the audio quality wasn't great, so I invested in a set of Ankerwork M650 wireless microphones. These are wonderful and amazing and excellent and I can't say enough good things about them, but I'm a big fan of Anker gear, and folks I know who use the RODE Wireless ME or the DJI wireless mics say the same things about their setup; be prepared to spend more than £100 and you can't really go wrong.

 I wouldn't skimp on microphones, though: as they say in Hollywood, "your ears never blink", and you can probably get away with significantly worse video quality if the audio is up to scratch.
 
-Anyway. That's your lot; good luck with it, and let me know if you found this useful (or if you want to recommend a camera now that Canon has discontinued the M200 😢).
