Best Rigging for streaming

Strap the parts to a board before they go in the bag, and protect strain points.

Which rigging should you use for streaming?
StreamPartPicker tracks 49 rigging options with enough data to publish, ordered by proven quality per dollar: each part's retailer rating, weighted by how many people rated it, against the square root of its price. JSAUX 90-Degree USB-C Adapter (2) leads that ordering at 4.7 out of 5 and $8.99. The order is the formula's, not a hand-picked list, and nothing here is lab-tested by us.
