Intro
Meet Vicky Komorowski, a passionate videographer and live streamer from Mandurah, Western Australia.
At 71 years young, Vicky is still capturing life’s most significant moments since 2006, specializing in weddings and funerals. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, she adapted her services to include live streaming, ensuring couples could still celebrate their love despite restrictions.
About VickyK Productions:
“I have been filming weddings since 2006 and started live streaming in 2018. However back then, live streaming was not as popular and hard to convince people of its usefulness, so I continued with filming weddings. When Covid hit, so did live streaming. I have continued with live streaming as I know that there are times when family & friends for one reason or another, cannot attend but still want to feel they are part of your special day. I have traveled from Bunbury to way north of the river to accommodate my couples and can tell you, I have enjoyed everyone one of them.”
What Was Your Video Production Experience Before YoloBox Pro?
Before discovering YoloBox Pro, Vicky relied on a cumbersome setup involving a laptop, numerous cables, and converters, which limited her to a single camera. This complex arrangement often made it challenging to provide the seamless experience her clients deserved, especially in remote locations where internet connectivity was unreliable.
Why Choose YoloBox Pro?
While searching for a more efficient solution, Vicky stumbled upon the YoloBox. Intrigued by its capabilities, she decided to invest in the YoloBox Pro. Since then, she has not looked back. The Bonding feature has been a game changer, allowing her to work in areas with poor internet signals—places others hesitated to venture. With YoloBox Pro, Vicky can now use multiple cameras, capturing various angles and providing a more dynamic viewing experience.
The Setup
Streaming Device: The YoloBox Pro, mounted with a Cinerails Xstremebay bracket and shade, serves as the heart of the setup, facilitating efficient live streaming.
Camera Selection: The primary camera is a Sony NX 70P equipped with a 96GB internal hard drive, providing reliable recording capabilities. A Sony ZV-E10 serves as the second camera, while a Sony HVR-V1P is used as a backup. This combination allows for versatile shooting angles and ensures no moment is missed.
Audio: The setup includes Hollyland Lark M1 audio microphones for clear sound capture, complemented by Hollyland Cosmo C1 wireless transmitters for seamless audio transmission. This ensures high-quality audio without the clutter of cables.
Power Supply: Numerous external batteries are utilized to ensure continuous operation, particularly useful in remote locations.
All equipment is compact enough to fit on a single tripod, allowing for easy transport and quick setup at various venues.
Favorite Features on YoloBox Pro
Direct USB Recording: The ability to record directly to a USB drive has streamlined her workflow, allowing her to hand over a copy to clients immediately after the stream—eliminating post-editing delays.
Network bonding: This feature combines multiple internet connections, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity even in the event of connection failures.
“Here in Western Australia getting to one event can mean driving for over an hour and in areas where an internet signal can almost be impossible, so Bonding has become my most valued purchase from Yololiv as I am now working in areas where others feared to go.”
Picture-in-Picture (PIP) : This feature enables her to seamlessly present additional content during live streams. Additionally, the ability to use titles and videos directly from the SD card has provided her with a competitive edge over others.
