Portable 4K camera for mobile creators

The BirdDog Maki Live captures 8.2MP 4K Ultra HD video at up to 30fps using a Sony 1/2.8" CMOS sensor. Battery power and Wi-Fi 6 enable untethered operation for live streaming, teaching, podcasting or field production. Compact form factor suits educators, influencers and houses of worship needing broadcast quality without complex rigs. Power on, connect wirelessly and go live immediately.

Metal box body with HDMI and USB-C UVC 1.0

The camera housing provides HDMI output alongside USB-C UVC 1.0 for direct computer connection and network streaming via Wi-Fi 6. Optional PoE is available through a separate dongle for fixed installations. 3x optical zoom covers a 3.3-9.9mm focal range with an additional 3x digital zoom for tighter framing. Advanced 2D and 3D noise reduction preserves detail in low-light conditions.

Replaces tethered camcorders and separate encoders

This unit consolidates camera, encoder and wireless link into one battery-powered device, removing the need for cabled HDMI runs or external streaming hardware. NDI|HX2, NDI|HX3, RTSP, RTMP and SRT protocols handle IP delivery directly from the camera. The jump is worth it when mobility and rapid setup matter more than studio-grade I/O or interchangeable lenses. Not suited for productions requiring SDI, genlock or multi-camera switching hardware.
