I've done it before to get the "Selfie-shot" from stage that was so popular a few years back in to the video mixer. The main advantage is that you don't need to connect anything else to the iPhone - it's just the phone, compared to having adapters and power for HDMI transmitter etc.
Issues are quality, range of your wifi and interference from other cell phones on wifi, and the fact that it's a phone, not a camera. Things will shake.
If you actually want to use it as a roaming camera (not an effect shot), I wouldn't usually bother. Rent something designed for it.
Hi Asgeir, thank you for your response. I certainly understand your points.
Would have to look into the Mac Mini option, because of the pricing, $300 approx - is a tall order living in Zimbabwe, so I need to figure out what i can substitute.
I've bought an Evo Shift smartphone gimbal with which the phone is stable, so my idea was to roam around with the phone on gimbal and take quick videos interviewing event attendees etc.
This would be my first livestream set up (purchasing my first ATEM in December) - so need all the advice and guidance I can get. Asking YouTubers who have done ATEM videos takes LONG for responses.
So I truly appreciate this forum and all those who respond.
Let me know what you think/
