Equipment
Maya’s streaming setup is built to support both her conservation work and engaging live content from Alveus Sanctuary. She films with the Sony α7R III paired with a versatile Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS lens, capturing high-resolution video whether indoors or streaming in the field. For mobile segments, she also uses a VUP Wristband Holder, keeping her hands free during animal care or outdoor broadcasts.
Her audio gear balances clarity and flexibility. The Shure SM7B is her primary dynamic microphone, routed through a Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 and Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (3rd Gen) interface for clean signal processing. For on-the-go recordings, she switches to the compact Hollyland Lark M2S wireless mic. A TC-Helicon GoXLR mixer provides real-time audio control, while Sennheiser HD 560S headphones let her monitor sound with precision.
