As a broadcaster, I'm always looking for ways to give my viewers the best experience possible. From lenses to tripods to microphones, there are things I've tested, things I look forward to trying out, and tips and tricks I've picked up along the way.
I'll keep you updated as we go along.
Since I mainly broadcast landscape scenery while hiking and adventuring in the mountains or while relaxing at the beach, I needed a phone case with a wrist strap and/or one that would protect my phone whether I dropped it in sand or water, or halfway down the mountain (heaven forbid!). I also needed a microphone that would reduce ambient noise and wind.
Here's what I currently use for broadcasting on Periscope.
The hitcase waterproof and shockproof case allows me to scope with complete peace of mind. By itself, the case has a strap that I can secure to my wrist. With the shootR pole, the case slides on and locks into place. Compared to a selfie stick, in which the phone could possibly be knocked out of the clamp, your hitcase protected phone isn't going anywhere.
hitcase pro+ action pack for iphone 6/6s includes:
100% waterproof/shockproof case
trueLUX super wide angle lens
shootR pole
stickR mount
railslide mount
(hitcase for iphone 5/5s here)
While I hate to admit that I use a selfie stick, I received one for Christmas from my secret santa, and it comes in handy in one situation: when I use the lapel mic. The plug for the mic is too big and doesn't fit with the Hitcase on (or any case)...and without the Hitcase, there is no shootR pole. Thus, the selfie stick.

Oh...and the most important periscoping gear? the aloha hat + ray-bans.
Do you use any special gear for broadcasting?
What's your essential tool?
