Scripting NearStream VM33 Review Part 2 - Wireless Multicam Live Streaming Setup for Live eCommerce Sellers

The second Nearstream VM33 arrived on Monday. 

Today is Thursday.  

I was teaching 2 full days of Videography and Video Editing on Monday and Tuesday. 

On Wednesday, it's a public holiday, Vesak Day. I have to spend time with family when we are all at home at the same time. 

This morning I had to go back to the classroom to pick up my Helios Laptop power adapter because I forgot to pack it. 

So now let's script and shoot part 2 of the NearStream VM33 Review...

Script

========start of script===

This wireless streaming camera supports multicam switching, picture-in-picture, graphic overlays, audio mixing, and more!

In the last video, I shared my first impression of how the NearStram VM33 streams wirelessly in 2k resolution to YouTube and Facebook. I also explored the 10x optical zoom, 40x hybrid zoom, low light performance, and AI Audio noise cancellation. 

In this video, I will delve deeper into more of its features.

Multicam

Switching cameras is as simple as tapping the screen.
The Nearstream VM33 is a wireless streaming camera that requires the Nearstream Multicam App for basic controls like zooming, focusing, adjusting exposure, and more.
However, the app itself turns your smartphone or tablet into a live streaming control center.
Let's see how easy it is to set up by connecting two cameras.
First I need to secure the cameras to the tripod stands.
Turn them on.
Open the Nearstream app.
Connect the two cameras via Wi-Fi.
Go to the Video Switcher to switch between the 2 cameras.
One for my headshot and the other for a close-up shot.
Tap on the LIVE button, choose a platform, and Go Live.
Imagine you're doing live selling. You can switch between your talking head and the close-up of your product.

Multiview

I can display two cameras on the screen at the same.
Multiview shows multiple camera angles at once.
Picture-in-picture displays a small video of your face on top of your product.
To use Multiview, simply tap the Add Asset button and choose Multiview.
Pick a layout and assign a camera for each view. Tap on Done.
Go back to the video switcher and switch to the multiview at any time.
To use picture-in-picture, simply tap on the Add Asset button and choose Picture in Picture.
Select a camera and customize the position and size. Tap on Done.
Go to the Graphic Overlay panel and enable the picture-in-picture at any time.
The Nearstream Muticam App supports up to four video sources for Multiview.

Overlays

I can add text and graphics over my stream. Currently, there the 4 overlay types.
The Full Screen Overlay is perfect for showing the title of your stream.
Over the Shoulder keeps your viewers informed without blocking the main video.
Lower Third allows you to add your name and social media handle.
Corner Bug places a watermark for branding.
Go to and Graphics panel and you can switch between overlays on the fly.
Imagine overlaying product details during live selling.
Or prompting viewers to visit your website.
You can also layer multiple overlays.
To set up overlays, just tap on the Add Asset button and choose Graphics.
Select a template.
Type in your text. Set the position and change the color.
The user-friendly interface makes it easy for me to edit overlays on the fly.

Audio 

There is an audio mixer built in where I can adjust the audio levels from the cameras.

Just go to the Audio panel to access the Audio Mixer.

I can reduce the volume of one camera or even mute it. 

I can slightly increase the volume of another camera. 

Additionally, I can adjust the overall final volume output. 

What if I need an external audio or microphone?

I can plug it into one of the cameras via the 3.5mm audio input port.

Auto Director

The multiple cameras and multiviews can switch automatically, so I don't have to.
Go to Settings.

Choose auto director.

Select two or more video sources.
Set the duration and press start.
Now my live stream looks like a big production, though I am just a one-man crew.

I am free to engage with my audience without worrying about switching cameras.

Cables

No need to lay cables. No need for video switchers, audio mixers, or monitors.
Everything is inside the free Nearstream Multicam app.

It is compatible with iOS and Android devices. 

The entire system is simple to set up and use... almost perfect except for one thing. 
I hope that in the next update, I can see audience comments.

...and multistreaming capability... including Tiktok. 

Each NearStream VM33 costs less than US$500.
Get 2 or 3 of them and you have a multi-cam live streaming setup.

Gemini Advanced suggestion on the structure...

Absolutely! Here's a structure for a single-feature product review that's both informative and engaging:

**1. The Hook (Introduction):**

* Start with a strong, relatable statement about the problem this feature solves.

* Briefly introduce the product, but focus on the anticipation around this particular feature.

* Create a sense of curiosity and excitement.

**Example:** "Ever wished your [product type] could actually [feature's main benefit]? Well, get ready to be surprised. [Product name] just rolled out their new [feature name], and it's changing the game."

**2. Feature Deep Dive:**

* Explain the feature in detail, but avoid technical jargon (unless your audience expects it).

* Use analogies or real-life scenarios to illustrate how it works and why it's useful.

* Highlight what makes this feature unique compared to similar products.

**Example:** "This isn't your average [feature type]. [Product name]'s [feature name] uses [unique technology/approach] to [explain the core benefit]. Imagine being able to [benefit example] without even breaking a sweat."

**3. The Experience (Personal or User-Focused):**

* Share your own hands-on experience with the feature, emphasizing how it felt to use.

* If you can't test it personally, include quotes or anecdotes from other users.

* Focus on the emotional impact of the feature – how it makes you feel, the results it delivers.

**Example:** "The moment I turned on [feature name], I was blown away. It was like [analogy for positive impact]. I've been using it for [time period], and I honestly can't imagine going back."

**4. The Verdict (Pros and Cons):**

* Be honest about the pros and cons of the feature.

* Don't just list them, but explain their impact and why they matter to the user.

* Consider comparing the feature's pros/cons to similar features in competing products.

**Example:** "Let's be real, no feature is perfect. [Feature name] does have a slight learning curve, but it's so intuitive that you'll master it in no time. And the payoff is huge. It outperforms [competitor feature] by a mile when it comes to [key advantage]."

**5. Call to Action (Conclusion):**

* Give your final recommendation (is it worth it? Who should consider it?).

* Invite your audience to try the feature or share their thoughts.

* End with a memorable closing statement that ties back to your hook.

**Example:** "If you're looking for a [product type] that finally delivers on [feature's main benefit], [product name]'s [feature name] is the real deal. Don't take my word for it, give it a try and see the difference for yourself. Your [product type] experience will never be the same."

**Additional Tips:**


* Use visuals: High-quality images or short videos demonstrating the feature can make your review even more engaging.

* Format for easy reading: Break up long paragraphs, use headings, and bullet points where appropriate.

* Be authentic: Your enthusiasm (or lack thereof) will shine through, so be genuine in your assessment.

Excellent point! Since this is the second video, we can adapt the structure to build on the foundation of your product overview:

2. Feature Deep Dive:

   • Here, you can assume your audience has a basic understanding of the product.
   • Briefly summarize the feature's overall purpose, focusing on how it enhances the product's functionality.
   • Dive into the details, emphasizing what's new, unique, or unexpected about this feature compared to the standard expectation.
   • If there are technical aspects, consider offering a simplified explanation or analogy to make it accessible to everyone.

3. The Experience (Personal or User-Focused):

Additional Tips for a Second Video:

• Keep it concise: Your audience is likely familiar with the basics, so focus on delivering valuable insights into the specific feature.
• Use visuals creatively: Consider side-by-side comparisons with similar features from other products, or screen recordings demonstrating the feature in action.
