He is sponsored by Turtle Beach and has chosen their Elite Pro headset.  It is a wired headset, closed-back X 7.1 Surround Sound headset that have over-ear earcups. It is constructed from aluminum chassis, with sold plastic earcups. In addition to the headband’s regular slider-adjustment, the user can also adjust its tightness with the tension-slider. The ear comes also rotate at 90°.

The ear-cups are cushioned with a three-tiered padding comprising of leatherette fabric, cooling gel and then memory foam cushioning to add further comfort and noise isolation. The ear cups are easily removable and have a switch on the inside that allows for the earcups themselves to be further adjusted in order to comfortably make space for the glasses’ arms.

CASTRO_1021’s WEBCAM

CASTRO_1021's WEBCAM setup

Castro_1021 uses a Panasonic Lumix G7 camera. Castro_1021’s gaming setup features two Lumix G7 cameras so that he can easily switch viewing angles during recordings. The Lumix G7 is a 4K mirrorless camera that comes with interchangeable lenses that is capable of recording for anywhere between 480 – 4K pixels for up to UHD 2160p and can capture photographs at up to 8 megapixels. It comes with either a 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 or 14-140mm lens, although there are other purchasable interchangeable lens options available as well. Castro_1021 hasn’t specified which option he purchased, so we have listed the 14-140mm version, as the other model isn’t currently available.

This camera is obviously intended for IRL photography and so it might be worthwhile to consider purchasing a standard plug-and-play webcam if you are just starting out with basic gaming streams, as the Lumix is a pretty pricey piece of equipment.
