The Logitech Orbit Is Perfect For Webcasting

When people consider the possibility of producing their own webcast, the first question that comes to mind is something about what kind of camera and microphone are needed.

Well, you may be surprised to know that even the simplest webcams and microphones will be good enough for the job. Even if you go just one step up in quality, your broadcasts will look fantastic. A nice little webcam such as the Logitech Orbit is perfect for for webcasting. It can usually be had for around $100 but is well worth it (it comes with a Carl Zeiss lens and has motorized movement capability).

Almost any microphone will do the trick, but a step up in this department will also yield better quality.

The webcam / mic combo you use can cost anywhere from $50 to $150.

The other thing that is just as important as the webcam and microphone is the lighting for your broadcast, so we’ll talk about that next time.
