Audio check: Play back 30 sec after going live. Confirm Lava mic is picking up clearly. Angle away from wind.
Hotspot first: Connect iPad to Nighthawk before opening GameChanger — avoids using cellular data.
Shade = runtime: EcoFlow and iPad overheat in direct sun. Keep both shaded or in the bag.
Teardown order: ALL devices OFF → EcoFlow → Hotspot → Mevo → unplug cords → remove clip.
After every game: Charge everything. Pack cords back in bag immediately.
