given the upload date I was expecting a shitpost where they recommend 10,000+$ equipment, but it turned out to be a genuinly great video with lots of good and inexpensive (even free) tips. Well done
I purchased an Electro 35 Pro in Japan in 1966. Loved it. It was the first camera that could take long exposures at night on film with correct exposure. We were shooting the lights of Hong Kong harbor from the flight deck of the USS Oriskany. It was taking color slide pictures with about 20 second exposures!
Perfect video for what I need. I just need basic setup for my sons online classes and this is perfect. No need for expensive equipment, only basic mic, good lighting and proper positioning of laptop/camera around the house. Thank you! P.S. i love your very soothing voice.😍
Thanks Chris and Jordan, totally timely tips!
thank you guys! We will fix the video-audio conferencing issues with new tips you just gave us.
Can't thank you enough for continuing your content!!👏👏👍 🙏🙏
You should have sent this to all the late show hosts like two weeks ago.
Hahah
Except for John Oliver-his production value has thoroughly exceeded that of the others!
By far!
Exactly what I was thinking :D
Yup!!
Before you buy a light, try using a reflector. You don't have to worry about light temperature, you don't have to adjust it's output if a cloud darkens your "main light", no cables and it's way cheaper. Basically any white-ish surface will work. Styro, cardboard ... anything. And if your window has direct, hard sunlight coming in, diffuse it. White bed sheets are great for that.
The most useful video from youtube photo community at least within the last two weeks.
Awesome! Thank you guys! I’m having to do a lot of Zoom calls now and your tips are very helpful.
Such a useful video for these challenging days! Thanks!!
Amazing tips, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the tips. Very useful during the confinement.
I subscribed immediately becuz you opened up with great tip for a simple audio solution. Thanks.
Excellent video!!! This is very useful for many purposes including teaching
This is one of your better vids you two...helpful knowledge for the masses....
Easy to listen...sometimes...( mic issues...lol ). Explained in a simple learn and use delivery. Nice.
As always keep up the good work and keep'em flying.
This is such a big help, thank you
Great idea.. doing all my work and meeting with Zoom. These tips will help out greatly...
Questions:
1- Can we adapt our ordinary cameras to function as webcams?
2- Can we have a comparison of the most popular external webcams for call quality and audio? Maybe stress test audio in a bathroom/confined space with lots of hard surfaces.
3- How did Jordan trick you into doing a video focused video?
1. Elgato camlink can turn many camera's into a webcam
I've been researching that first question myself. You can use sparkocam for any Canon or Nikon cameras, but personally, I have a Sony, so I just bought an elgato camlink
Just covered what I needed in video conference now，very helpful，thanks
Great video! Would love to see more videos about audio recording be that external recorders or microphones shootouts and comparisons.
Good morning.
Thanks for another great video and it could not be more timely for me
I'm a pediatrician who is having his first telehealth visit in two hours
I've repositioned my laptop and change the lighting based on your recommendations
a lav mic has been ordered
thanks again
Greg
Greg Savel then try to also have a teddy bear visible in frame, he does not need pants either 😀
I use the BOYA BY-M1 lav mic, works fine with both cell phones, cameras and laptop, but you need to remember to turn it off (with cameras) or it kills the battery. Wish I had a rechargeable. Also, I sit facing the window and use the drapes to adjust the light level, gives me something to look at if the meeting is boring. The hardest part is keeping the cats off the keyboard.
Looks like my cat is about to step on my keyboafhdnjffjfmamzkqpxl... ///ASJFJnfncncndkwp
You don’t know anything about AV
Spot on with current needs! Thank you
Trying to share this with all the people who need it. Raise up that laptop people! (Thanks for another great vid)
Great suggestions! By far the best vid I’ve seen on this topic so far!
Bravo Chris, cheerin' for ya.
Great video. How about an extension to this on how to employ all the expensive gear we all have for better video conferencing?
As far as light goes, in that room a simple reflector made out of foil would be great to get rid of harsh shadows
Perfect timing .... obviously. Some great tips.
Good, useful advice. Thanks.
Ahhhaa... memories... I used to own the electro 35 GT.
That was such a long time ago...74 now ..memories 👍👍👍
Thanks, had a meeting on Zoom yesterday , I'll look and sound alot better next time.
Very very helpful. No time wasted. Getting to all the points.
Here’s a tip if you’re using an ipad for zoom etc. Because the iPad’s camera is side mounted, when you do your zoom calls in landscape mode, it will look like your looking off to the right the entire vid. The trick is to simply turn your ipad sideways, aka portrait mode, and no more side eye:)
Awesome video, very helpful and informative. Much appreciated!
Great tips Chris. Thank you :-)
Nice I enjoyed your explanations and will use this for new home studio.
Chris, great video! I enjoyed it. Any suggestions on gadgets that can feed mirrorless camera's HMDI signal to your PC?
Thanks, great tips.
Outstanding! Thank You!
Let's be honest here I don't really do anything serious online but I'm definitely gonna send this to my gamer friends with their internal mics.
That was very clear and helpful. Thank you.
Wow, referencing to the good old TCSTV video... That's really useful.
I'm preparing a guideline for my company to have better telecommunication with each other and our clients, this is the perfect video! Thank you!
Do you communicate with your clients via Zoom?
@DPReview Chris I am really impressed by the quality of your Zoom. I cannot get that on my MBP.
Great tips, Chris. Thanks.
Excellent video. Thank you. Subscribed!
Thanks for the tips 😊
thank you for this information .. timely and good presentation
Great video! Thank you
Great tips. Wish my local news field reporters, now working from home, would watch and learn.
Super helpful!
Now sing Imagine, LOL
Thanks for the advice, didn't know you taught classes
Thanks for another great video! Was wondering if you could do a video on how to set up for live streaming. I'm not a videographer and in the past week I'm been learning all about video and live streaming (using my Sony A7R III - so I had to get around the 30 minute limit, a capture card and my MacBook). Still haven't figured it out so some tips from you guys would be awesome!
Great video guys!
thanks for the great tips.. especially on the lighting.. i gonna use this tips whenever i have video conferencing!! hahahaha..
Thanks for the tips.
In terms of future reviews here are couple of suggestions:
Given we are working from home due to COVID19 it would assist if you could explore following how to set up a Live Stream/You Tube/Podcast studio that represents Best Value for Money in 2021 consisting of:
0. Room selection guide (Adequate size, minimal noise, plenty of noise absorption materials, dry, clean and access to cool air)
1. Review of ergonomic desk/chair
2. Review of laptop/computer
3. Review of Indoor lightings for filming
4. Review of background screen for the presenter
5. Review of microphone and stand
6. Review of sound proofing materials for the studio
7. Review of commercial music library for incorporation in the background of the video clip
8. Review of commercial video library for incorporation in the video clip
9. Review of DSLR cameras/webcams 4k/1080P/stand
10. Review of screen capture software eg. OBS Studio
11. Review of video editor software
12. Review of 4k monitors for testing the final production video
Thanks.
Mike
Great video thanks for the useful tips 👍
Good tips. Thanks for sharing!
As others have mentioned, please reference what tabletop light used end of video. Thanks!
Great info. Thanks!
I would love to get your take on multicam streaming both online broadcast and in house (multiple feeds to multiple screens for events).... software and hardware connections...cameras, switcher, capture card... also how to minimize latency/buffering issues. Thanks for your insights. Stay healthy.
Very helpful, thank you. Can you recommend some mikes please.
Great video. Thanks! Would you kindly share the model of the simple LED light you used to illuminate your face?
Very helpful and timely.
Simple, to the point, usefull!
Awesome! Thanks
stay safe chris & jordan
Big thumbs up on 出前一丁 👍
Good video! I teach and bought a Blue Yeti mic...very good. Thoughts on that mic? Also, any suggestions on a good webcam for teaching?
Thanks for a Great video!!
Thanks for the great tips. Can you please send a link to the round light you used.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you!
Love you guys stay safe
Nice video, I owned this black camera (GT model)...thanks!
outstanding presentation.
Very nice video Chris! Yes, another idea is behind the scene video and gear that you used, like wireless lavs models ex..How you approach a project, scripting, planning ex. And one of my most wanted, that nobody makes: THE LED VIDEO LIGHT THAT YOU won't REGRET AFTER 1 YEAR. This is a super idea because we all love cheap lights, but after one year we spend again on crap China lights. Well, they are all made there, even the high end, but maybe there are mid-range price lights that can compete with high-end brands. This will be a good video. If you ask me what I looking for in led light, well: portable but definitely not small 1x1 or 2x1, option for battery, honeycomb grid, bi-color or rgbw. and finally reliable and at fair price. Does this exist? Regards from Bulgaria!
Thanks a lot Chris for sharing great tips. I was wondering for the video, what webcam do you suggest in getting? I know many of them have recommended Logitech C920 or 930 series. My objective is to use it for both live training and pre-recorded training.
Thanks, good info well presented, I already learned this from experience. I keep trying to improve my pre recorded clips on my M43 Olympus, I find soft focus looks best, what diyou guys think? Thanks again
My Zoom meetings will be bomb now thanks! 🔥!
Great tips. Can you do a video on how we can use digital camera in zoom meetings?
Great stuff! What about tips for how to shoot films from home? I'd love another scene recreation like you did with Eternal Sunshine :)
Can you add equipment list/tips in the video description?
Thanks; for the video!🤓
Nice vid. Thank you. What light are you using at the end there? Circular LED
Congratulations from France.
Thanx. Very informative
Do you have recommendations for at home LED lighting?
Could use a reflector if you don’t have an LED light. Also worth thinking about background. Very useful tips, especially about the coverage. And timely too!
amazing video, you really make very good video's. more please
Timely! Like the rest of the world I’m working from home and doing a couple of zooms a day at least.
Another excellent video. A question off the subject: What caused the color shifts around 4:28 and 4:50?
Chris, you are taking over Jordan's job (video).. not fair :) ... great video
Nah. Jordan and I are a team. And we see each other more than we see our wives sometimes.
thanks very helpful
This is good stuff !
出前一丁, great instant noodles
Can confirm; haven't been wearing any pants during meetings lately. Just make sure to not ever stand up w/o killing the camera feed first.
honestly don't get it: I mean, I sure do wear sweatpants at home, but no pants at all? my legs go cold
You can buy used lav’s from the bigger a/v houses. My Sony lav’s are both almost 20 years old. After-market clips and windscreens have long replaced the originals...
