Hey bro. I appreciate your minimalism focused channel helping us to make better financial decisions as well as better tech purchases. Also the video production is immaculate for a small channel. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!! It is basically an Amaran 100d with a softbox and a small aputure mc as a backlight. I am currently working on a dedicated video about how to set up a good looking talking head shot..expect it to come out within the next 2 weeks or so :)
I'd love to get a more in depth video on this topic. Actually multiple! One with different options for lighting, mic and so on. And then also one about composition, editing etc. Great video, as always :)
I would love to see a video on how to make a talking head scene look crisp with a phone. I have a business where I primarily shoot all my photos with a 13 pro max in raw for my website and socials. But I wanna start shooting small RUclips commercials talking to the camera and I don’t know if my 13PM will cut it anymore or if I just need better lighting and staging
I am currently working on a dedicated video about how to set up a good looking talking head shot..expect it to come out within the next 2 weeks or so :) Regarding your question with the 13 PM: This is a capable phone. The camera usually is the least important part in the puzzle..lighting, audio, staging is everything.
would have been nice to see a comparison including some android phones and budget dedicated cameras but i understand the budget constraints for a small youtube channel. good video
I will do such a video within the next 2-3 weeks. As for microphone any cheap lavelier mic is better than the onboard one. something like a rode lavelier go would do (50$) or one of thr many wireless lav options like the DJI Mic I personally use. Or a normal shotgun microphone for a more traditional approach - like the deity video mic pro I used in this video.
+the workflow on a Phone camera is SOOO much better! I have a decent camera but I shoot all my YT videos with a Phone, not even an expensive Iphone but a Poverty £100 Pixel 6a lol. Don't really care that the ''real'' camera looks 10-20% better if in the same Time I can produce 2x more videos with a phone :D
You always need a mic. That is non negotiable. You can buy a 50 dollar lavalier mic with a cable if you don’t want to get the wireless options. But with a cable you have to be very careful not to drag and drop your 1000$+ phone to the ground
1. Would the iphone 13 pro be enough and a better value for price for youtube videos? 2. What about the data consumption on the iphone 15 pro model? what gigabyte capacity would you suggest?
Data consumption in pro res is a bit wild..I would get a 1tb external ssd and record directly to the ssd. That is cheaper than getting an iphone with more storage. If you want to record directly to the phone I would go with 256gb at least. As for the iphone 13 Pro: Quite frankly I would still suggest the 15 Pro as a. the 13 doesnt have a usb c plug and therefore you cannot record to an ssd and b. you also lose LOG recording. But if you find a cheap 13 Pro (Max) wirh a lot of storage and you dont need log why not.
For everyone who wanted to see a more in depth video about my setup - here it is: ruclips.net/video/kbFHNqtxt9M/видео.html

Thank you very much for your comment! That motivates me a lot!
The lighting looks so sick any light recommendations

Getting a canon sl2 might be something to consider, not a 4K camera but amazing autofocus in 1080 p is still great for RUclips
Never heard of a canon sl2? Does it have a different name as well?
I think that if you’re going to travel you might want to consider the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 as well
Yes!! For travelling / vlogs that one is amazing!
In this video I was more talking about talking head scenarios though
Great channel!!! 😊Keep up that good work. Cheers
Thank you very much Matej! :)
New video again and It's once again fantastic and so informative!!
Thank you so much! 😊😊
This is exactly what I am interested in, please go into more details. I would like to see how did you set up lightning and mic.
I will do a more detailed video in the future! 😊
I'd love to get a more in depth video on this topic. Actually multiple! One with different options for lighting, mic and so on. And then also one about composition, editing etc.
Great video, as always :)
I will do this longer in depth video within the next 2-3 weeks 😇😊
I have an iPhone 15 pro and your video surprised me. it’s crazy how smartphones have gone a long way ever since their inception. great content👍
Totally agree. Most people have no idea how powerful the devices in their pockets really are!

Glad you liked the video and thank you for understanding the budget constraints!
Nice editing bruv
I try 😂
What microphone would you recommend for using with the iphone option? Love to see a comparison and different price points

@@simonbernlieger thanks for the tips. Will keep an eye out for future videos! Best wishes
Can you shoot raw or log with iPhone 15/16 non Pros with the Blackmagic app?
Yes! You can shoot h.265 LOG

80 / 20 rule 😊👍
Good Video. Audio is a bit loud.
Sorry about that
great video, make one more in details
Thanks, will do!
Do you still need a mic with the 16 pro? For this kind of talking to the camera video
Ps a video guide for a talking head video would be super helpful
You always need a mic.
That is non negotiable.
You can buy a 50 dollar lavalier mic with a cable if you don’t want to get the wireless options.
But with a cable you have to be very careful not to drag and drop your 1000$+ phone to the ground
Yes you absolutely need a mic!
I will do that within the next 2 or 3 weeks :)
