Re: Good camera for live streaming outdoor events?

Late to the party here and you may have already come up with a solution, but if it's not totally out of your budget (around $4K USD), a JVC GY-HC500 has all the features you need built-in...no laptop required, only a WiFi hotspot to connect to.

Directly supports FB &YT live stream and likely others, no laptop required, just a phone or other hotspot for WiFi.

Trying to shoot events such as you describe with a hybrid camera is an exercise in frustration due to the ergonomics.  Handheld and shoulder camcorders have evolved into their current form due to years of development.

Cheers!
