Backpack streamer rig

Custom hardware build for IRL streaming.

The hardware

Orange Pi 5 Plus running belabox firmware, bonding multiple cellular connections for reliable uplink from anywhere. Small enough to fit in a backpack, powerful enough to encode and stream simultaneously.

Why build it

Commercial IRL streaming rigs cost thousands and lock you into proprietary software. This build runs open firmware, costs a fraction, and gives full control over the encoding pipeline. Already deployed and streaming live.
