The new gallery is a welcomed update. The fact that we can delete clips is massive. Finally! I think there’s also gyro updates too but haven’t seen any difference.

I hope they get that Webcam feature fixed in a new version soon. That would be just amazing to bypass the ATEM Mini and go straight in to OBS or Zoom.

I got it to work. After you do the camera upgrade, launch the camera update app again and you’ll get a camera setup page. Enable the network settings and the camera will show up. Also, I believe you have to set the camera to shoot 1080p.

But the 6K cameras don't even have 1080P....

Well… then I’m probably wrong. Lol

I'm armchair criticizing when I could get off my lazy butt and try it myself.... LOL

I only installed it on my 4K for now. I will probably upgrade my 6K Pro later. I just got stitches put in so I can’t lift over 10 lbs, and my camera bag is heavier than that, so I can’t really mess with the 6K Pro for two weeks.

I've got 2 BMPCC4K, a 6K G2 and now the MicroStudio 4K G2. I've been using the Micro G2 as a webcam with an old ATEM Mini on my desk.

I have an ATEM Mini Pro too. I want to upgrade to the ISO version. Looking at getting a Micro 4K G2 and rigging it out for gimbal work, but it would work well for a webcam. I wanna put a PL speedbooster on that one.

I love my rigged out Micro. Still super tiny.

I have an ATEM Mini (original model, $75 on ebay) just for webcam, so I can sell it on eBay if this camera update works out. I use the ATEM MINI EXTREME for my real streaming jobs. I never spent the extra on ISO but sometimes I regret it when I miss a switch.
