First, you need a tripod

1.1 Tripod

Having a good tripod is really important, to follow the ball smoothly, Here is a good quality tripod for a cheap price. Manfrotto is a trusty brand, very reliable and solid, it will last 20 years without any issues (do not spend more than 50 dollars for a tripod like this, if it cost more it’s because it’s out of order) :

📱The most important, which smartphone ?

We are working very hard to deliver the same live experience on Android and Iphone. Swish Live work the same way on both platform but you need a recent phone.

But here are few tips so you can choose the best material :

If the device is older than 6 years, it can cause some live issues due to the non updated operating system. We don't say it won't work, but some issues can happen.
If you have the choice between iPhone and Android, most part of the time you should go with iPhone devices for live streaming with Swish Live. We are not Apple fans here, just that it's way more convenient to develop a live streaming software on Apple than android because all models are the same with Apple, and on Android depending on the phone builder two phones can ba very different (Size of the screen, chipset, battery etc...).
