Origins

We started filming with the Mevo Plus in 2017. We liked the streaming, and the software, and the cool camera controls. FenceClip customers also started using the Mevo Plus. The Mevo Start was introduced in 2020 and by then we were helping a lot of photographers with Mevo Cameras. Later that year the CEO of Mevo reached out to discuss partnering.

Introducing the Mevo Mini

We worked with Max Haot and the Team at Mevo to develop and deliver the Mevo Mini. The combination was an instant success. Mevo listed the mini for sale on their website and we were off to the races. They sold tons of kits.

Full Speed Ahead

In 2021 Mevo was acquired by Logitech. We worked with the Mevo Team as we transitioned our partnership to Logitech and continued working together for a couple more years. Logitech sold even more Mevo Minis, further establishing this slick little studio camera on the backstop.

For FenceClip this was an exciting and rewarding time working with both organizations. As a result of the work Mevo and Logitech did over this period of time there are more Mevo Cameras going on backstops today than any other camera. More Mevo Cameras than Cell Phones!

The Mevo Start has some good things going for it. The Start is reasonably priced. It’s a tough and dependable camera, proven on backstops for years. It has more than enough battery to film a game, plus you can attach external power and film all day. The Start is a dynamite streaming camera. It integrates nicely with everything, including all the common streaming platforms and the live scoring tools like GameChanger.

The free Mevo software is the best part of the whole system. You can get it in the App Store. The software runs on your phone or iPad and provides advanced studio camera controls. You can connect and control multiple cameras for a dynamic live stream. And it’s all wireless. Put some Mevo cameras in a room with an iPad and everything connects. You have a movie studio in a minute.

There's a lot more, too much to mention here, and it seems like there is always something new. Bottom line, there are a lot of people using this software and Mevo continues to invest in the platform.

Finally and most important, Mevo cameras are easy. Everything just works.

If you’re interested in using a Mevo Start to stream baseball or softball there is a great price on Amazon, and you can pick up your Mevo Mini at the same time. This combo is hard to beat.

People are excited about the GoPro Hero12 on FenceClip Mini. Hero12 is a solid baseball game film and live streaming camera. I expect a high-quality product and great software with GoPro gear and this camera does not disappoint.

Many times, updates to the GoPro line don’t necessarily help the filming from the fence crowd. That’s not the case with this camera. One significant improvement for Hero12 is the thermal resilience of the camera. Reliable testing shows that the Hero12 can operate in much hotter environments than the Hero11. This is important on the backstop.

GoPro also helped themselves out by shipping Hero12 with a standard ¼-20 thread in the bottom of the camera. You still have the fold out aluminum tabs GoPro is known for but now you also have access to the universe of standard camera mount equipment. It's about time. I expect new use cases will follow for gopro.

The Hero12 is a perfect match with the FenceClip Mini. They are made for one another. The mini is smaller than the camera. The whole setup fits in your jacket pocket. Solid Metal, Rock Solid Connection, Fast On and Off. The mini kit is turn key and comes with everything you need including a Safety Tether, a Stuff Sack, Paper Shade, and Instructions. We’re making it easy to get Great Game Film.

I recently had the opportunity to do some field testing. I set everything up at home. I like to run the camera from my cellphone using the gopro app so I start there and get comfortable. Then I took it to the field. Attach it to the backstop and turn it on. Linear FOV provided the tight view of the field I prefer. That’s it for my quick setup. Get some Game Film. Make adjustments as I move forward. Photos include the Media Moda Case, some Bolts, and an External USB Battery.
