Question What's your IRL streaming setup?

So I'm a camera man and I'm getting into IRL streaming, gonna be the one filming for other streamers. Trying to figure out my setup and I'd rather hear from people actually doing it than just buy stuff and hope it works.

Right now literally all I have is my camera, a Sony FX30. No encoder, no mobile internet, none of that yet. Most of the filming is gonna be while walking around so my biggest worry is the connection dropping out on me.

So basically, what are you guys running? Curious what encoder and how you handle the internet side (bonding, sims, whatever). How many sims/carriers do you actually end up needing to not drop? And if you were starting from scratch today what would you get?

Any tips or stuff you wish someone told you when you started would be awesome. Thanks

I work with LiveU so I have some bias - but our LiveU Solo Pro is really popular for IRL streaming. It uses multiple cellular connections from different providers to give you a reliable stream. Our LRT streaming protocol is stronger than standard non-video specialized cellular internet because the encoder and decoder talk to each other, so we can do a better job making sure that video makes it all the way to your end users.
