I’ve used this everywhere, from museum tours, to exploring a farm and even to running from tear gas during the protests at Donald Trump’s inauguration. It allows you to move and walk around while keeping a slow, graceful motion on your image. What it does is it counter-balances movement using a motor inside this handheld gimbal. It works best with an iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. If I am filming a sit-down interview, I’ll always bring a second device with me where I have a shared Google Doc open with a colleague so I can keep open communications in case there are any technical glitches. This is super important because when you’re live, it’s simply not possible to monitor your audio quality while your broadcast is airing. Whenever we film Facebook Live videos, we always have a colleague in the office monitoring the segment. In a perfect world, when you’re live broadcasting a non-breaking news story, it’s always good to have a second device with you.

After lots of testing, this is my kit for mobile broadcasting.

I wanted to find a way to use the exact same professional audio equipment I use with cameras in a mobile live-stream kit. Audio was the most important thing for me to figure out in this setup. We had to figure out what technology would work best to live-stream from a phone. When I first joined The New York Times, I was brought onto the Facebook Live team.

I’ve used everything from C300 and C100 Canon cinema-grade cameras, down to a simple GoPro on a shoot. As any video journalist can tell you, it’s easy to go overboard with gear.
