SKB ATEM Mini case — keep your switcher and power kit together

Plug-in power removes battery recharging from the routine, making this a useful choice for a spot you want to keep checking regularly. Its wide view and 2K video help you see the surrounding area in one frame, while Live View and two-way talk let you check in and speak through the camera. Wall, ceiling and flat-surface placement give you options for finding the right viewpoint; video quality still depends on connection and operating conditions.

TV dialogue can get lost in a busy mix. The SB510 gives speech its own channel and keeps the subwoofer inside the bar, making it a tidy upgrade for a smaller living room. Bluetooth also lets it play music from a phone. Check your TV connection and the 37-inch bar width before buying.

The 1920 x 1200 screen and quad speakers suit shows and video calls, while expandable storage helps a growing library of downloads. It covers everyday uses without the cost of premium tablet features many people will not use.
