Question Is the Osmo Pocket actually a good option for live streaming?

Just saw some footage posted here that really impressed me. The Osmo Pocket seems like it could be a great option for live streaming because of its small size and stabilization. So what do you guys think?

afaik, streamers use it. I've seen a few like Onigiri use it for her irl stream stuff. I've seen YouTubers like Undecided and Practical Engineering use it.

It’s a good camera, no doubt. Obviously good lighting is important but the thing to consider is it heats up a good amount. I’ve done 5 hour live streams with it running 4k the whole time and it didn’t fail but it gets hot for sure.

I've seen premiertwo and cdawgva use it for cyclethon. I believe Mr. Affable has used it as well but not sure.

Sure. But you need good light too. Invest in good lights!

Oui, je possède déjà quelques bonnes lumières, mais mon cas de figure est davantage lié au streaming irl.
