Logitech Releases a New Streaming Camera, the Mevo Core

Logitech Releases a New Streaming Camera, the Mevo Core

I knew this was going to happen...

I predicted at some point we will never need capture cards, cables like HDMI or SDI will less likely be used, well I do not feel safe using everything wireless, but once in a while you know that feeling when you don't have to run long HDMI or SDI cables especially when dealing with mobile setups.

You know what else feels good ? when you can have a DSLR camera that you can plug into your computer using simply a USB cable and access full resolution image into OBS, Zoom, StreamYard, Evmux etc..

The newest Sony, Panasonic and Canon prosumer Mirrorless cameras already have this feature, some are affordable others aren't but the point here is what Logitech has introduced with the Mevo Core Camera.

Imagine a MFT interchangeable lens camera with WI-FI 6E, SRT, NDI connectivity, plus the Mevo Multicam App that allows you to connect multiple cameras wirelessly and go Live, from your phone or iPad ?

If that wasn't enough you can still use these cameras as a normal camera connected via USB to your computer.

They can record in 4K30, stream 1080p directly from the camera, I mean... that's just amazing.

Usually hyping up new gear Launches is not my thing but I couldn't contain myself, I think about when I have to stream a wedding or a sports event.

I always have to carry HDMI cables with me and at least 2 cameras and something like a Yolobox Pro. If you are a little richer you can invest in HDMI transmitters, those help a lot but guess what with this new setup, NO more HDMI captures cards, No more HDMI transmitters... Hummm.. Too good to be true.

Do not take my word for it just watch the video below and see the Mevo Core in action.

These are the specs released on the Mevo website by Logitech.

Below are the pictures we took of the mevo Core in our studio.

The Mevo Core was priced at $999, just the body, no lens included. Some people are complaining about the pricing of this camera especially when comparing to other mirrorless MFT cameras but the point here is, this camera is made for Mobile streamers, people streaming sports events, weddings etc.. who want the ease of streaming with a wireless setup and not having to deal with cables, video switchers, HDMI transmitters etc. and still get a professional looking stream because of the bigger sensor and interchangeable lens capabilities.  For sure this camera is not for everyone so if you need it you know and you will get a lot of value from it.
