My Setup


How I play Webcam Magic

Here’s a look at my setup for playing Magic on Convoke!

DSLR camera

I use a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7K with 4k video support. Attached to that is an Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 25mm F1.8 lens. Then attached to the lens is a K&F CONCEPT 46mm Circular Polarizing Filter to cut down on card glare. This model of DSL requires a dummy battery for wall power so I’m using a Gonine DMW-DCC8 Dummy Battery Kit to power the camera.

Arm mount

The camera is mounted with a Glide Gear DST 50 Multi Mount Overhead Rig. The HDMI cable goes straight into a Guermok Video Capture Card, 4K USB3.0 HDMI to USB C Capture Card and into my macOS laptop.

And the camera is pointed straight down at my beautiful Clackeys (RIP) playmat with artwork by Magali Villeneuve.

Desktop setup

The microphone there is a Blue Yeti with a Custom Built Shock Mount with Pop Filter (bought off Amazon) and mounted on a simple Boom Arm Stand.
