My Gaming System
I prefer the 1000 PS Vita over the 2000 because of its OLED screen display and it's 720p display. You will h ave to do some research to find it on your own, but it should nt be too hard.
Here is a YouTube Playlist I used to jail-break my vita, which a necessary step to have in order to record your gameplay footage.

Canon Sl2 (200d)
EOS Webcam Utility Beta (free software)
Earlier in April 2020 Canon released this beta software during the coronavirus pandemic to the public, and now all the canon cameras that this software is compatible with can now be used as webcams right after downloading the software and restarting your computer, its as simple as that. If you have multiple and different canon cameras, you will need to download the specific sofware(s) for your camera(s).
Note that at the time of this post, your camera will ONLY project video into your stream, not audio, so I reccommend using a USB mic and pluging that directly into your computer. In my set up I am using
Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 lens
This wide angle lense allows me to have the my camera close to me when recording gameplay, and with an aperture of F1.8 its great for low light areas, or having a blurry back ground in well lit areas.
RODE VideoMic NTG
This mic also has a usb cable that comes with it that you can use to record your audio by plugging it into the Sabrent usb splitter. Gain control knob on the bottom of this thing also come in handy if you are in an area with alot of background noise. Link here: https://amzn.to/3gS29dS
WD 1TB My Passport Portable External Hard Drive
So I use this to save the gameplay recordings that I make using OBS studios. Plenty of space so that I can store a lot of footage without worrying about how long I am playing. 1 terabyte (TB) is huge by the way, I have been using it to store all of my work from the past year, and it is only halfway full now.
I have the blue one of these, and as useful as it has been, it has also been a headache, and it also stopped working on my at the time of writing this blog, I believe it is just a cord issue which I can replace after this pandemic.
WINDOWS Users beware, this device has a horrible time recognizing this device for some reason, and they are actually notorious for this. However I found out to late! Link here: https://amzn.to/2Y2eB1V
I now reccommend getting a solid state drive (SSD) external hardrive, because I hear that they are faster and don't disconnect as easily because there are no movong internal parts like these regular hard drives.
The SSD I am purchasing to replace this
SanDisk 1TB Extreme ProPortable External SSD
I will update this blog after I have tested it out. But I am purchasing this because my WD external hard drive currently isn't working.
Pros: Has fast reading and writing speeds as well

Elgato HD60S+
I know what your thinking, Why purchase and capture card that can handle 4k video capture when the pageplay you are recording is only 720p. An that is because I am building a production and entertainment company, and I am future proofing myself for more exciting gameplay to come!
