 ====== Streaming Box / Photobox v3 ====== ====== Streaming Box / Photobox v3 ======
 +
 +As a teacher, I was recently (due to the Coronavirus restrictions) forced to teach only half the students in class, the other half would be at home. I decided to live-stream my classes and looked for an easy solution. 
 +
 +In the end, I used my Photobox knowledge to build something similar for live streaming, but with a few different components/requirements:
 +
 +  * Good video quality
 +  * Capable of connecting to MS Teams
 +  * Wired and Wireless connection
 +  * Wireless microphone receiver
 +  * Easy to correct around, quick to set up
 +
 +I built a box containing (once again) a Canon DSLR, but this time I also included a wireless microphone receiver and put a docking station for a notebook on top. Once I don't need it anymore, it will be re-purposed as a photobox.
 +
 +Because I built it in rather limited time (a weekend), there was no time to order mounting brackets and other hardware components. Therefore, I used my 3D printer to produce the mounting parts. All parts are printed from PETG which works quite well!
 +
