BirdDog MAKI Live Black BDMKLB
BirdDog MAKI Live is a compact, portable streaming camera that brings BirdDog broadcast technology to creators, educators and businesses. It delivers 4K video with a 3x optical zoom, and with built-in Wi-Fi, a battery lasting up to 6 hours and a lightweight body it can stream from anywhere without cables.
It streams over IP with NDI and SRT, works as a plug-and-play 4K USB-C webcam in Zoom, Teams and OBS, and has an HDMI output for monitors, switchers or recorders. AI Gesture Zoom lets presenters control framing with hand movements, a Halo tally light shows when the camera is live and footage can be recorded directly to a microSD card. Several MAKI Live cameras can be switched with the MAKI Studio Control Surface and app, without a PC.
