We first got to take a peek at this one back in April at NAB 2023. It’s the Hollyland VenusLiv (buy here), and it was an impressive little streaming camera. Back when it was called “Venuss”. But that’s changed with the official announcement.
The new camera is pretty much as was stated at NAB. It’s a camera intended primarily for live streaming. It works in both horizontal and vertical orientations, with high-speed autofocus and multiple connectivity options.
At NAB 2023, we saw an interesting white box sitting on the Hollyland stand. So, we went over to chat with Hollyland field engineer Randall Stewart to find out what it was. It turns out it’s Hollyland’s entry into the world of cameras. Or at least, it will be. At the moment, it’s currently in the prototype/beta stages, though it already seems to have come quite far in its development.
It’s actually two cameras that form part of what will become the “Venuss” line of cameras from Hollyland. There’s going to be a Venuss Pro model and a non-pro Venuss Air. The latter lacks a couple of the “Pro” model’s features to allow for a lower price point. And, yes, they’ll be available in the more traditional camera black, as well as white.
