You’ve watched your favourite streamers on Twitch for a while now, and you want a piece of the action but have no idea where to start. Or you’re waiting for that sign it’s time to have a go at streaming. This is your sign. Available now at Overclockers UK, we have a brand-new streaming brand designed to be easy to use whilst levelling up your broadcast. Introducing: Streamplify.
Who Are Streamplify?
Streamplify is a brand born from the desire to simplify streaming and make it accessible to all. The internet has become the place to hang out, chat, and play, and Streamplify wants to share the joy of live streaming with all. With their high quality, yet easy to use hardware even your Nan could start a Twitch channel. Hands up who’d love to see wholesome Nana content, teaching you how to knit or bake!
With this new brand launch, no hardware has been left out. From ring lights and microphones, to a nifty little webcam, Streamplify has covered all the bases to kickstart anyone’s streaming career. With a splash of RGB lighting, a sprinkle of high-fidelity audio, and plenty of easy-to-use features, this hardware is perfect for beginners and pros, alike.
The Hardware
This new line-up consists of six products and three bundles, all with “plug and play” installation. Briony has had great fun unboxing and testing all these products, which you can check out in the video below! After that, I shall be exploring each product in a little more detail.
CAM
The Streamplify CAM operates in Full HD at 60Hz, for buttery smooth video recording and streaming. The 2.0-megapixel camera is equipped with an all-glass lens and amazing auto-adjustment features. This includes auto-focus and light adjustment, making sure you always show your best side. Plus, with a 360-degree swivel, 45-degree tilt, and 90-degree field of view, you’ll always be perfectly framed, too.
To match this exceptional video, the Streamplify CAM comes with dual integrated microphones that utilise Realtek technology. Creating stereo audio, these mics are placed on the front and side of the webcam for full and clear audio playback. Even without a dedicated microphone, you can stream with high-quality audio.

LIGHT 10
10” in diameter, the Streamplify LIGHT 10 will illuminate your stream, levelling up production values. Able to replicate over 90% of the visible colour spectrum, this ring light produces natural lighting to brighten your streams. Utilising the in-line controller, you can scroll through ten levels of brightness and three colour temperatures. Create a tone, a mood, a vibe – you will be thrown into brilliant contrast for the utmost clarity.
Designed to be used from your desk, this ring light is set upon a tripod and includes two mounts for your camera or phone. The tripod can be adjusted from 20cm to 25cm, letting you configure your lighting to just how you need it. With the ball camera mount, your device will attach via the standard quarter-inch head and can be operated through a variety of angles. The gooseneck phone holder is malleable, allowing you to angle your phone camera just how you want.
| Specification |

| 10″ LED ring light |
| Over 90% CRI |
| 10 brightness levels and 3 colour temperature |
| Inline controller |
| Connects via USB – to a computer or to power bank* |
| Height adjustable by 5cm |
| Includes camera and phone mount |
*Power bank not included
LIGHT 14
With a 14” diameter and a telescopic stand, the Streamplify LIGHT 14 is something like the LIGHT 10’s taller cousin. Also operating over ten levels of brightness with an over 90% CRI, there are a few marked differences between the two lights. Instead of an inline controller, the LIGHT 14 has a Tact-Switch panel below the light ring for you to change brightness and tone. Plus, there are four colour temperatures to choose between – ranging from cool to warm.
What’s more, the stand is designed to be used in a range of settings. It is even a two-in-one selfie stick, should the height adjustment from 50cm to 170cm not be enough for you. Rather than connecting to your PC via USB, the LIGHT 14 plugs into the mains. As a result, the back of the ring features two USB ports to keep your devices charged whilst filming!
| Specification |

| 14″ LED ring ling |
| Telescopic stand doubles as a selfie stick |

| 2 x USB ports for charged devices in use |
| Tact Switch control panel |

MIC
The Streamplify MIC can come with either a TRIPOD or ARM mount, depending on your preference. The microphone itself is the same on both products, it is merely the mounting method that changes. Hence why I have grouped them.
With simplicity at its heart, the Streamplify MIC is incredibly easy to use whilst still bringing high-quality audio to your stream. As a cardioid microphone, the front area is incredibly sensitive whilst the sides and back aren’t – meaning they pick up little to no sound. Plus, equipped with a pop guard, your audio will be crisp and clear, without those annoying plosive noises. (Your ps, bs, and ts.) There are two audio playback modes you can choose from, tailored for podcasting and streaming, which you can toggle between utilising the volume wheel. What’s more, with a touch of RGB lighting this microphone is sure to look good on your stream, whichever playback mode is used.
TRIPOD
Starting with the TRIPOD, this version was designed to be used from your desk. Mounted on anti-shock feet, this tripod absorbs any knocks and bumps, so they don’t pollute your audio. Don’t shy away from those jump scare games; this tripod can handle your startled reactions. With tightening screws, you can adjust the height of your microphone to best suit your needs. Let your audience hear you with perfect clarity.
| Specification |
|---|
| Cardioid microphone |
| RGB lighting |
| Pop guard for clear audio |
| Tripod with built-in shock absorbers |
| Height adjustment with tightening screws |
| Two playback modes: Gaming and Podcast |
| Tap to mute function |
ARM
Moving onto the ARM, this mount clamps directly onto your desk and boasts incredible manoeuvrability. This, too, has shock absorbers built into the framework to prevent any unwanted noise from reaching the microphone. Multiple hinges allow you to raise, lower, contract, and extend the microphone arm. Bring it to the centre stage whilst you stream, but tuck it away for when you need to work.
| Specification |
|---|
| Cardioid microphone |
| RGB lighting |
| Pop guard for clear audio |
| Arm mount with built-in shock absorbers |
| Multi-hinged for smooth adjustments |
| Two playback modes: Gaming and Podcast |
| Tap to mute function |
SCREEN LIFT
Finally, we have the Streamplify SCREEN LIFT – a green screen with built-in hydraulic lift. Measuring 1.5m by 2m, this provides the perfect backdrop for your streaming. Especially if you want to experiment with chroma-keying and special effects. The screen itself is manufactured from Oxford cloth, a highly water-repellent and crease-resistant material. Even with heavy use, this green screen will stay a smooth canvas.
The hydraulic lift is incredibly easy to use and will have the screen fully extended in under a minute. Should you not need the full height, the screen can be set to meet your needs. When no longer in use, the SCREEN LIFT can be fully collapsed into the base, saving you astonishing amounts of space. Cheeky bonus, this feature also makes the green screen highly portable, should your streaming take you away from your home studio. Finally, this green screen has lockable wheels. You can manoeuvre the SCREEN LIFT into position and then lock the casters – never worry about it rolling off mid-stream, ever again.
| Specification |
|---|
| 1.5m by 2m green screen |
| Oxford cloth canvas |
| Water repellent and crease-resistant |
| Hydraulic lift |
| Fully collapsable for storage |
| Lockable wheels |
| Highly portable |
The Bundles
Ideally, if you’re looking to start a streaming career, then you’re going to need all of these products. At their affordable price point, it’s hard not to! But Overclockers UK can do one better for you. Bundles. We have three tiers of bundles to match the different wants and needs you might have for streaming equipment. Yes, please do go on about how we spoil you.
The STARTER Bundle
This bundle includes:
| Specification |
|---|
| CAM FHD 60FPS Webcam |
| LIGHT 10 Ring Light |
| MIC TRIPOD RGB Microphone |
This fills your basic needs without having to overspend on products you might not need. By providing the camera, microphone, and smaller light, you can get a feel for how to set up your streaming hardware. The one light might be enough, or you could decide to add in a second at a later date. Or you might find this simple trifecta is all you need for producing top-notch content. That is what they are designed to do, after all!
The PRO Bundle
Moving up a tier, this bundle includes:
| Specification |
|---|
| CAM FHD 60FPS Webcam |
| LIGHT 10 Ring Light |
| LIGHT 14 Ring Light |
| MIC ARM RGB Microphone |
If you have some experience with filming and lighting, then opting for the two lights and arm mount is definitely something to consider. Fewer shadows with two lights, am I right? Having the extra light is going to create just that extra little bit of flexibility, which the arm mount will also play into. You can create a versatile space for more than just streaming your latest favourite game. Level up your vlogs, be the envy in every video call – be a pro.
The COMPLETE Bundle
Finally, we have the Complete Bundle which includes:
| Specification |
|---|
| CAM FHD 60FPS Webcam |
| LIGHT 10 Ring Light |
| LIGHT 14 Ring Light |
| MIC ARM RGB Microphone |
| SCREEN LIFT Green Screen |
I like to call this the “go big, or go home” bundle. It has everything – EVERYTHING! Both lights, yep. The webcam, check. Green screen, you betcha. Microphone with arm mount, absolutely. Ok, so it doesn’t have the tripod for the microphone, but that would be just silly. All in all, this bundle covers every base you could possibly need. Juicy.
