Because of the stay-home period of the Corona Disaster, there has been a great increase in the number of people who have newly started posting on video sites and live-streaming. Many of these people have now become very popular distributors. I feel that the most important thing is to enjoy distributing and having the viewers enjoy it as well, which results in popularity. Those who work as a team to produce videos and live streaming have a large space for streaming and can share the use of cameras, sound, etc., but those who stream alone are limited in many ways. For those distributing from home, in addition to PCs and monitors, it is also quite difficult to secure space for microphones and cameras that require stands or tripods, and to position them in the desired miking and camera work positions. Bauhutte, a well-known name in gaming furniture, always comes up with nice items for such situations, doesn't it? Last year, Bauhutte released a pole-mounted microphone stand that can be clamped to a desk top and aimed out of the way, and now they have released a camera stand called the "Streamer's Arm!
A space-saving tabletop stand for SLR cameras
The " Streamer's Arm" is a clipped camera stand that clips onto a desk top. Many people use webcams, which are easy to use for streaming images of their faces and hands, but as they become more particular about image quality, many have reached for full-fledged single-lens reflex cameras. Of course, the image quality is excellent with an SLR camera, but the body size is larger and heav ier than that of a web camera, and above all, it is considerably more expensive. Therefore, it is common to use a tripod or similar device to ensure a stable and secure installation, but since the legs need to be extended, sufficient space is required for installation, and camera work is limited to some extent by the installation location.
The "Streamer's Arm" can be installed across the top of a gaming desk, so it only needs a small amount of space around the desk! It can even be installed right at the edge of a wall! The "Camera Arm" can be installed across the top panel of the gaming desk, so all you need is a little space around the desk.
Bauhutte"ストリーマーズアーム"製品ページSpace saving alone is quite an attraction, but Bauhutte's items do not end there. The "streamer's arm" has a wide range of motion to allow for flexible camera work! The support is made of an 86 cm long pole, which together with the lift of the gas-pressure arm, allows the camera to be positioned at a maximum height of 110 cm above the installed top panel. The camera can capture a bird's-eye view of the entire desk from directly above, allowing for camera work such as showing the hand operating a device. This is also good for cooking videos.
Bauhutte"ストリーマーズアーム"製品ページThe 6-jointed arm, which extends up to 54 cm, is equipped with a gas-pressure lift function. The camera can be moved to the desired angle of view with light manipulation. The angle adjustment handle on the end of the arm allows you to fine-tune the angle of view to the point of exquisiteness.
Bauhutte"ストリーマーズアーム"製品ページEach arm has a load capacity of up to approximately 2.5 kg. The fixing force of the lift can be adjusted by tightening the screws at each joint, so the camera can be mounted stably. Although it is not often used at distances around a desk, keep the weight in mind when using large lenses.
The camera head can be adjusted up, down, left, right, and infinitely wide. It is intuitive and easy to adjust the angle when you need a "little more angle like this...".
The Streamer's Arm can be attached to a commercially available free-standing headwith 1/4-inch thread, so you can customize it to suit your preferences and ease of use.
A VESA mount compatible with 75mm/100mm pitch is included, so it can also be used as an arm for small monitors. Note that the load capacity remains the same, up to 2.5 kg, since the thing itself is the same.
The fixing method can be either a clamp type that clamps the top panel or a grommet type that makes a hole in the top panel and fixes it firmly in place. Cameras are quite expensive, so to avoid any mishaps, use the one that can be fixed securely in your environment.
The clamp is compatible with top boards from 1 to 8.5 cm in thickness and requires a space of 9 cm in width and 6 cm in depth. However, the weight of the "Streamer's Arm" and the camera will be applied to the top panel, so it is important to check that there are no strength issues before installing the clamp.
The bottom of the arm has a cable holder to pass cables through, and the ball has a cable clip that can also hold the included hex wrench. This kind of humble and delightful attention to detail is indeed Bauhutte.
Bauhutte"ストリーマーズアーム"製品ページAvailable with one or two arms.
The Bauhutte "Streamer's Arm" is available now and can be purchased from the Bauhutte store on Amazon.com. The lineup includes a single arm (BMA-1CAM) and a dual arm (BMA-2CAM), priced at 19,200 yen (including tax) for the single arm and 27,200 yen (including tax) for the dual arm. Since we have arrived at a single-lens camera that can capture full-fledged images, we want to be particular about the angle of view, and there is nothing better than being able to install it safely and securely. In addition to space-saving installation, the camera can be moved freely to accommodate a variety of angles of view. If you have a "streamer's arm" that allows you to securely and safely mount the camera, it is not impossible to increase the number of viewers by using a particular angle of view! Why not consider installing a "streamer's arm" to take your delivery quality to the next level? For more information, please visit the Bauhutte "Streamer's Arm" product page!
