1. So recently, I've seen a lot of people and business looking for #remote solutions during the #COVID19 pandemic. I have been doing remote work in broadcasting for years now, and I'd like to share some of the information/products I've used and learned about. A thread:

2. Iphone cameras are great, but the mics sound like crap. Attach and existing mic with the IRig Pre. Your video or conferencing calling will no longer sound like garbage, but rather quite good

@amazon 3. Another option for a mic, if you don't have one already, is the AT 2005 USB. It has a built in audio interface, and it can be used with regular XLR hookups:

@amazon 4. For #videoconferencing, a lot of you might have existing #DSLR or #SLR cameras that would vastly upgrade your video, but you don't know how to link to your computer. The El Gato Cam Link 4k will take your camera's feed to your computer:

5. If you want to make livestreaming, green screen, or video content, but make it very simple, I recommend @ecammtweets for very simple and effective software.

@ecammtweets 6. Broadcast entities will always rely on Comrex, because they are beyond comparison, no question, but they aren't cost effective for everyone that isn't a broadcast entity. A great browser based tool for podcasting, broadcasting, and more is @cleanfeedNET.

8. Yes, if you buy all of this, it will set you back a little, but many of you only need one or two items to drastically upgrade your ability to operate remotely. I will say this, though: quality matters.

9.If you're addressing your clientele on a smart phone camera and mic, it will look like that. If you're using a nice camera and a nice microphone, you'll look like you have your
s--t together, and that's what people are looking for right now: the composed, organized, and ready.

10. If anyone needs help w/ this, hit me up. I've been doing it for years, & I learned from online resources. You don't need much but the *desire to upgrade* to suddenly look like you're on top of the situation more so than others. Stay safe, everyone. #COVID19 #Quarantine

11. For the record, I am not receiving financial compensation, or other forms of compensation, from any of these companies. I have found these products and services to vastly improve my ability to operate anywhere in the world w/ an internet connection.
