Some of the things that can be borrowed from ELEC TakeOut
4K Video cameras
The camera can be used as a video recorder as well as a very good quality web cam (with the Elgato CamLink).
Microphones for hybrid teaching
We have several Jabra 710 wireless speaker-microphones, i.e., they have both the mic and speaker in one. These are perhaps the simplest way to give voice (and decent hearing) to your remote participants.
360 Cameras
The Insta X2 360 camera can be used either as a video recorder (360-degree videos, which can be used to document and share a remote lab or space) or a webcam (just connect via Bluetooth). As a webcam it serves meetings wonderfully, as it can show both sides of the room at once.
Rode Wireless Go
If you want more professional sound quality for your voice, you can have a wireless mic that can be attached, e.g., to your shirt. (Beware, you need to have the remote participants' voice covered with a speaker - we have ordered some, and these should arrive soon)
GoPro action camera
GoPro action cameras as excellent, if you need to have a video camera to document something in action, for example, driving with a fancy electronic prototype.
Lighting
We have both ring-lights and LED panel lights for illuminating you, if you want to create a more professional look to your stream.
Writing tablets
We have several Wacom tablets for capturing your handwriting digitally. These are excellent when you are teaching, e.g., mathematical equations on screen.
