Slingbox never made a digital unit-- the M1/M2 were component only, and if you asked on their forums they linked you to a sketchy looking site that is 'unaffiliated' but had a mailing address that was remarkably close to sling inc who sold an HDMI to component+unencrypted HDMI box for $20.

oic

well this one was composite + s-video only iirc

it was a piece of crap tbqh

ok its obvious youre on a budget because Youtube wont be paying you for a few years but

first you're going to need to get this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1134579-REG/canon_0635c002_eos_c300_mark_ii.html



And since you're going to want to mount this above your 24" TN ~1-.,GaMeR,.1'`~ monitor you'll need this to clamp to it:https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/581220-REG/Manfrotto_155_Double_Ball_Joint.html




And you'll need a wide lens since it's not going to be far from your face but you still want bokeh

yo gently caress B&H they are a lovely company. Buy your stuff from Adorama if you're in NYC.

They had a really good deal to build out their warehouse facility in the Navy Yard, and then right when their workers were tired of their bullshit and started talking about unionizing they immediately move it to NJ.
last year the feds filed a lawsuit against them for being racist and their response was to offer to pay a $120k settlement.

maybe they're trying to capture the "our budget allows you to purchase any item less than $round_number with cash on hand, above that you need to get it approved" market
