Hello everyone, I created a youtube channel and website based around helping people solve their computing needs / problems with my business. If anyone needs any help i would gladly appreciate it if you looked here and i could possibly fix your problems remotely as well! Here is an article on my website that is a step-by-step how to retrieve your data off of your old hard drive. www.hexxkreatorcs.net/hard-drive-recovery/
This might be one of the best overall videos I’ve ever seen. Sound is great, perfect angles and the explanations are timely. Not one second was wasted. Thank you for the great content.
Good point on the time. So many seconds are waisted on youtube. I have given up on countless videos with all the waffle, especially at the start! This was a good video. Well done
I'd been producing big brand content for YEARS and used to run my own vlog on the side. I quit vlogging strictly because the setup was just to fiddly. You have done something I could never pin down. A simple and functional "always ready" small footprint setup. God bless you man.
I like how you have a simple realistic background scene yet everything still looks clean AF. No hipster pinewood paneled walls embedded with LED strips complete with man cave bar and stripper pole required to look legit. Great beginner to realistically pro setup. If you're content is on point this setup will get you anywhere you want to go. Thanks.
What a relief with all the bad tutorials out here!! Clear explanations, clear images, no unnecessary bla bla bla, and thank god no unnecessary background music! You have a new subscriber!
One of the most amazing videos on setting up a YT recording setup. I have been searching for a tut detailing everything like this for quite some time. I just bought all the items you listed from your Amazon affiliate link...thank you for including all of those as well!
CityPrepping. 👋 your channel is in my top 5. Thanks for all your advice over the years. I signed up for your emails and I am checking out your store. Fantastic pricing on the Level IV armor👍🤝
What an amazingly well spent 15 minutes of my time. I'm in awe of your ability to provide such comprehensive instruction in such a concise manner. Outstanding. I will follow your recommendations and will get an awesome result without question. Someone should be paying you. If Sony is listening his recommendation just sold at least one of your cameras. 👍
We been waiting for 2 months and just got this video from our saved bookmarks couple days ago to order everything and now next thursday when it comes in we will be knocking ours out as we rewatch your video. Thank You for helping us to complete this part of our @RUclips journey to learn to become a great creator. we subbed. thanks a milly!
You could mount a board to the wall behind your couch, mount another board 90 degrees ,clampy-clampy, hang stuff over your head and down in front of you. Boom, instant couch-streaming kinda. I LOVE IT! Mine is mostly wood, PVC, paracord, and dreams! I also need to hang my controller from it, makes gaming interesting. So fluffin’ fun! Cheers!😊
Love how concise your information is, the convenient time stamps, along with the overall concept of an affordable table setup for shooting videos! I wish this video had been up several years ago before I poured my money into gear that doesn't match my space as well as yours would.
Built this "studio on a stick" and it has been a fabulous way to keep my online teaching setup at the ready, but out of the way. Great idea. Thanks, Caleb.
@@foodwinesong Hi. I have a teleprompter (from caddybuddy.com) that can be used with a smartphone or tablet. I use it separately on a tripod. My guess is that it plus a camera would be too heavy for this setup.
Calming and really helpful. Unlike those who speak so fast and you end up rewinding everything many times. I've been watching this video another account and I'm just glad I found this again. :D
Thank you so much for this. What an amazing step-by-step guide. It took me 15 minutes to order all the parts and two hours of a handyman's time to show him the video and have him put it together (it would have taken me 4 hours). I made a Tiktok about it thanking you. 🙂
That light got my attention. I have tried to set a studio in office with fluorescent lighting. And it makes me look green… in a bad way. I made a half hearted try to add a ring light. BUT I am very excited about an overhead light. Glad the algorithm brought your video to my feed. Thanks!
The absolute simplest, best, cleanest one desk set up. I've been looking for 2 years. This is the best and yet the cheapest one desk set up available. Bought the hardware. Mounted my mic with overhead boom, my circle light, my teleprompter and camera. All on one post using two short booms.
Dude you rock! I will never use this setup but I enjoyed watching how thorough you are. I like the control you have with light in your video, subtle and not too loud.
Awesome setup man! Probably also great for game streamers, and people who like to do solo video podcasts! Heck, even review channels or tutorial people could use this!
I bookmarked this a while ago, and I've been meaning to do this. Finally pulled the trigger and honestly it's the best thing I've ever done for my setup. I didn't do it exactly like this. I had an existing light setup that I am happy with. I used the monitor pole and 3 arms to mount my 2 monitors and DSLR. SO MUCH BETTER. I had 2 Ergotron monitor mounts and 1 Elgato poll mount for my DSLR. I have much more flexibility in monitor and camera placement than I did before. DSLR is much closer and eye level, and it doesn't take up desk space because I mounted it high enough to fit stuff under it. Now I just need a dialog pencil mic to replace my dynamic to get my microphone out of frame.
🗣You’re a freaking genius🤔 This is the most aesthetically pleasing setup I’ve ever seen It doesn’t take up an entire room like most setups Thank you for sharing Happy new year
One of the best setups I've seen. Usually when I see these I think there's no way I can get achieve this setup. I watched this video a couple times and realized it's totally doable. Will be building this out as soon as I get the parts. Thanks!
Caleb just wanted to give you a major shout out about this! I'm a High School teacher by day, film maker by night and am preparing to teach all online. I built my teaching desk from what you showed here and then added a few tweaks for me to fit what I needed. I watched this when you posted it originally and remembered it when school turned all digital. Thanks for your great ideas!
I think that is just one of these - i have one at homr: www.amazon.com.au/KSEIBI-8-Piece-Folding-Hex-Wrench/dp/B06X3R3Q3W/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=allen+key+tool&qid=1577926595&sr=8-3
This is a perfect setup for my space (a desk, in spare bedroom, with limited space). The video is fantastic and super easy to follow. I actually purchased all of the pieces (from the affiliate links) and am in the process of setting everything up. I’m just waiting for the stepper but to arrive, so I can modify the arm and the versa plate, per your recommendation.
For the more thrifty DIY types - might want to check out how gardeners rig up light stands for their indoor plants made with empty milk jugs filled with sand and pvc pipes fitted together.
WOW, I just have to say this is a wonderful video. I really liked the fact that you can move the camera around and get the different angels all without having to move the desk and such. I will be working on building a setup inspired by this video thanks and you rock!
FWIW tripod 'screws' are just 1/4in or 3/8in bolts with a UNC-20 thread, very common and super-cheap. The closest metric equiv is a M6 bolt but the thread pitch is wrong.
Slow down on the amazing content... I am still trying to put together the stand from the last video. You need to wait at least until I get my next paycheque, geez.
Damn... I wasn't aware how much I need this kind of setup until I watched this amazing video, haha! I will make sure to bookmark and save it for the future. Love the tutorial, thanks for sharing!
@@dslrvideoshooter I want to do both.....Neewer has a Rollable 30x53cm.....Looks almost Identical for $109....The Fostan one specs seems better though but looks like a rebranded version of the neewer so that is confusing, but we will see what happens.......No I need this setup and the C-Stand Setup so I can roll it into the closet and my man cave look pretty for my wife. Thanks! Waiting for next setup to cost money.
Its a pure joy to watch how he is trying not to touch the table. And when he accidentally touches, the angle goes to the tripod camera. I hope you get the point 😎
This is really helpful and thanks for all your work. I’m in the process of planning an upgrade to my space as well. Relatedly, may I ask: 1. What are the dimensions of your main desk? (And) 2. What is the screen size of your Mac? Thank You!!
Great video! Love the setup. One quick trick to avoid drilling... use a 1/4 thread on the tripod screw to feed it through and then the 3/8" adapter that comes with the ball head. Kinda happened into that outta laziness.
hey there! i'm a total newbie on all this and am very curious as to what this looks like and what you mean exactly. i was going thru amazon and noticing that the tripod screws he recommends are no longer available so i'm spending time trying to find a suitable replacement. if i can avoid drilling that would be ideal. curious if you have a recommendation then on the 1/4 thread screw (i'm seeing so many various heights) and i think from what you're describing here there is an adapter that i can use that comes with the ball head suggested here that i can use to attach the attachment pole to. thanks!
@@theysamtheirs You bet! I love this setup so much that I just added a second stand for my overhead shots using the three arm and so I'm seriously into this one. What I searched for was 1/4" tripod screw. The one I purchased was by SmallRig (SMALLRIG D-Ring Hinged Screw Quick Release Camera Fixing Screw with Standard 1/4-20 Thread for Camera/Tripod Qr Plate, Pack of 5-1611). I really like the quality of SmallRig products and the prices are pretty reasonable. The ball head noted in the video comes with two 1/4 to 3/8" adapters. The 1/4 will easily fit through the existing hole. You can then thread it into the adapter and then thread either onto the tripod extender pole of the ball head directly. Best of luck!
Dude! You’re an absolute legend for this video! My buddy was talking about VESA to solve my problems and now seeing it work in real life has me sold. Amazing! Thank you 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I just wanted to come back and comment. I setup the Sony a6400 with Rode VideoMic NTG. LED and stands etc. were all from your parts recommendations. I also built my own sound panels with Rockwool Sound insulation. And I've gotten quite a few "how do you sound so good, what mic are you using?" and "wow, the video clarity is amazing, what webcam are you using?" And finally, I did my own reverb/echo test w/ and w/o the sound panels. It's night and day. So I've come to the conclusion that sound panels and proper lighting matter even more than what mic you're using (excluding trash/cheap mics). Even when I use Jabra Evolve 75 headphone mics, I get compliments on the clarity of the sound. Thank you!
@@dslrvideoshooter I dropped the link in basically every Discord channel I'm a part of, so hopefully I can send some traffic your way. Always appreciate your thoughtful and thorough content.
Steve Ortiz Lucin yeah it sucks I really wanted to do this but since I’m not knowledgeable about this I can’t seem to figure out a substitute. and the last thing I need is to spend a lot of money and have missing parts.
I have also been unable to find a "reasonably priced" 3 segmented long reach arm. The ErgoDirect EDM-1204W seems a bit overkill and pricey. Does anyone know which model was used in this video?
I am from India and I have tried to setup the similar one desk studio at my place it’s very similar I am just setting up the lighting and camera now. Thanks a ton
From what planet are the nearly 500 people, as of November 2020, gave this video a thumbs down? I’m barely entertaining the idea of starting a RUclips channel, and I found this video to be so useful and encouraging. It’s the best video I’ve come across that has helped me process the why and how questions? Thanks!
With the camera mounted to the desk on that arm, do you get camera shake when you put your hands on the desk, or type on the keyboard, or otherwise touch the desk in any way?
Your content is very good, I was thinking of doing something similar but you've obviously thought it through thoroughly and I'm going to take your ideas and do it! Thank you. Definitely subscribing. 10/10
I was ready to buy a Blue Compass stand and this post has me re-thinking! Currently, I have to pull out big softboxes on stands everytime I want to record/do webinars and I'm not yet using my DSLR for video. This looks like a really easy and convenient set up. Nicely done.
thank you so much for this content, I am in the process of ordering this set up and I am using ALL of your PAID links. You deserve it for the work you have done putting this together. Again thank you from DRERTV
WOAH! This is exactly what I need. I have an attic space and use an iMac 27" as my computer. I have slanted walls near my desk but I'm sure I can configure this In a manner that can still fit. Im still stunned that I found this video tutorial. Just created my YT channel a couple of weeks ago and need a setup for doing videos and streaming games. Thank you for this!!
Does anyone know of a suitable replacement for the 1x2 LED Light (FL-3060 or FL-1x2 LED Mat Light)..? Current model no longer available (UK) and struggling to find another with a softbox.
This was a great video and I just built this as shown with a couple differences. The end caps on the VESA mount arms were a little difficult to pry out. Not impossible, but I had to jam a flat head screwdriver multiple times before it finally gave way and came out. I also did not need to enlarge the holes to use the 3/8 tripod screws. The tripod ball head came with two 3/8 to 1/4 tripod screw adapters. I was able to fit the 1/4 tripod screw (included in the recommended tripod screw link) in the existing hole on the arm, and then use the adapter to attach the tripod extension pole for the camera. I also did the same with the long VESA arm for the light, except I used the ball mount and attached directly to the VESA arm rather than use the monitor VESA plate. Hope that makes sense, but I was relieved I didn't have to do any drilling! I also attached the mic mount to the same arm as the camera instead of buying an extra arm. It works for now, but I may add another if I want more flexibility. Thanks again!
Thanks for the tip about the end caps not being easy to pry out. Actually I am stuck on the step right before and can't get the bolt out with an allen wrench like he did in the tutorial and was wondering if maybe the arm is manufactured differently now. Did you have any issues removing the bolt?
thank you. your audio is nice and the quality of your video is really good, and your explanation is really nice. i like how you are so clear and organized. also i like how you just do all the thinking for me, i have an idea for a podcast and i kind of want a turnkey solution so i can just jump in. don't really want to think through all this again. the only thing is i wish you would just put the information all on screen so i don't have to read your description. I was watching your video on a roku device, from there i can't easily check your description. hey wait a minute... i just checked out the camera from your video it costs over $1200. okay so that kind of blows the $391 budget. okay so anyway you have a cool idea for holding up all your av equipment but it makes no mention of the other stuff we beginners need to know. So honestly, not ideal for me but thank you because some of your ideas are really very cool.
He does clearly explain that $391 is for those who have a camera. Maybe you could watch the video again on a computer and read the description there? What else do you need to know?
The link for the light takes me to a page with several solutions. The two that come closest to what you showed are the Andoer or Fositan solutions. Would you please let me know the specific light you are recommending. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for a great video!
4 года назад+2
I had the same issue Michael, but after researching I found the "Andoer FL-3060A" and it's been working great for me!
This seems like it might have great potential for the amateur musician who might often be working solo. I like that you suggested OBS; it's the one FOSS that I'm aware of that's multicam capable. That's something I'm interested in. At the moment, the only portion that list that I've actually spent money on is a deskclamp scissors stand ( $15.97 on eBay ). In addition to the mic clamp, it has a pop filter and a cell phone clamp. The other items I'll likely take a pause on and accumulate gradually. Still they're very useful and great ideas for ultimately improving the quality of my RUclips uploads. And no doubt as this transpires, it will involve purchases from among the affiliate links.
Caleb I need your help! Can you validate that when using a capture card like the Camlink or HD60S+ with a mirrorless like Sony A7III on Mac with quicktime at higher quality that you can actually capture ProRes 422 straight to your computers internal HDD? I have in setup now and seems like it works but wasn't sure if that is the same setup you have here and if that truly is a way to capture ProRes from the Sony without having to get an external monitor/recorder or transcoding in FCPX.
Capturing directly into Mac is such a pain. You need to get Blackmagic box/recorder or external monitor/capture like Atomos Ninja. I’m looking into same issues and solution and prob will go with Ninja to capture 4K. Camlink seems too good to be true?
Got ya beat mines a RUclips studio ,my art desk ,modelers studio ,and workspace for computers that would make any pen tester really happy...two computers with four screens. A wrap around desk with a pop up drafting/art table, a swing arm cameras ,and mics on a old lamp arm (The old ones with tension springs. ) I found a lot of my stuff second hand from my local Goodwill Retail or Goodcents (Goodwill Wholesale by the pound not item.)You can get everything from cords, lights, hell anything and everything you just have to dig thru bins to find things not a bad price for digging thru boxes and bins.( I think its .79 a pound for housewares electronics and toys. I wanna say 1.67 a pound for cloths and liens. usually
Thank you! Thank you! Calm and sensible information. Now all I have to do is workout how to set the arm to point downwards to my desk so that my hands can be seen. Great video.

@@theysamtheirs You bet! I love this setup so much that I just added a second stand for my overhead shots using the three arm and so I'm seriously into this one. What I searched for was 1/4" tripod screw. The one I purchased was by SmallRig (SMALLRIG D-Ring Hinged Screw Quick Release Camera Fixing Screw with Standard 1/4-20 Thread for Camera/Tripod Qr Plate, Pack of 5-1611). I really like the quality of SmallRig products and the prices are pretty reasonable. The ball head noted in the video comes with two 1/4 to 3/8" adapters. The 1/4 will easily fit through the existing hole. You can then thread it into the adapter and then thread either onto the tripod extender pole of the ball head directly. Best of luck!
@@RandomMakingEncounters much appreciated!! thank you so much!
This is a set up I’ve needed forever!
I wonder what claim is used to attach the mic rig to the stand?
You deserve allllll the affiliate income you’ll get from this video. Super well done as always, thanks man!
None of the Amazon links work.
Dude! You’re an absolute legend for this video! My buddy was talking about VESA to solve my problems and now seeing it work in real life has me sold. Amazing! Thank you 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
True!
You are the man. This set up is exactly what I was looking for. Making sure I will buy whatever I need via your links.
I just wanted to come back and comment. I setup the Sony a6400 with Rode VideoMic NTG. LED and stands etc. were all from your parts recommendations. I also built my own sound panels with Rockwool Sound insulation. And I've gotten quite a few "how do you sound so good, what mic are you using?" and "wow, the video clarity is amazing, what webcam are you using?" And finally, I did my own reverb/echo test w/ and w/o the sound panels. It's night and day. So I've come to the conclusion that sound panels and proper lighting matter even more than what mic you're using (excluding trash/cheap mics). Even when I use Jabra Evolve 75 headphone mics, I get compliments on the clarity of the sound. Thank you!
This is the earliest I've been. :)
Welcome welcome welcome!
Caleb, I think you just made a bunch of best friends in the video game streamer community with this video.
Selfie with Dr. Disrespect and Shroud is near the top of my bucket list! Love game streamers!
@@dslrvideoshooter I dropped the link in basically every Discord channel I'm a part of, so hopefully I can send some traffic your way. Always appreciate your thoughtful and thorough content.
@@woodypaul_ Thank you so much man!!! Means a lot!
What can replace WALI Universal Single Fully Adjustable 3 Tier Arm for WALI Monitor Mounting System ? I can’t seem to find it anywhere
Tas Nene yeah I can’t find it either...
Steve Ortiz Lucin yeah it sucks I really wanted to do this but since I’m not knowledgeable about this I can’t seem to figure out a substitute. and the last thing I need is to spend a lot of money and have missing parts.
I have also been unable to find a "reasonably priced" 3 segmented long reach arm. The ErgoDirect EDM-1204W seems a bit overkill and pricey. Does anyone know which model was used in this video?
Healthy Living not sure....I follow the links he has under his video
I am from India and I have tried to setup the similar one desk studio at my place it’s very similar I am just setting up the lighting and camera now. Thanks a ton
All what I can say is You have mastered the art of making RUclips videos
I like these "entire youtube studio setup on one noun" videos
This is awesome, Caleb! Would you trust this setup on an adjustable standing desk?
I used on my adjustable standing desk. Worked fine.
This is sick, I've got like 70% of the parts already looks like I've got an afternoon project to toss together 🤷🏻♂️
That's awesome! Good luck building it!
Why the heck are people disliking this video!? Probably because they are jealous about this setup...
Awesome video mate, thanks for sharing.
From what planet are the nearly 500 people, as of November 2020, gave this video a thumbs down? I’m barely entertaining the idea of starting a RUclips channel, and I found this video to be so useful and encouraging. It’s the best video I’ve come across that has helped me process the why and how questions? Thanks!
This is also a good alternative: www.ulanzi.com/products/uurig-table-top-universal-live-broadcast-stand?aff=46
With the camera mounted to the desk on that arm, do you get camera shake when you put your hands on the desk, or type on the keyboard, or otherwise touch the desk in any way?
Great point!
would love to know the answer to shake. I have tried this with canon and iphone and get quite a bit of shake from a sturdy desk.
Your content is very good, I was thinking of doing something similar but you've obviously thought it through thoroughly and I'm going to take your ideas and do it! Thank you. Definitely subscribing. 10/10
Great video thank you! Will be ordering everything right now.
You can order in Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B08LZ58T2L?ref=myi_title_dp

It took me over 50 videos to find your one that had everything I needed Thank you
I was ready to buy a Blue Compass stand and this post has me re-thinking! Currently, I have to pull out big softboxes on stands everytime I want to record/do webinars and I'm not yet using my DSLR for video. This looks like a really easy and convenient set up. Nicely done.
"You're able to adjust the light to whatever room you're in and that's where this light really shines"
I see what you did there 🤣
thank you so much for this content, I am in the process of ordering this set up and I am using ALL of your PAID links. You deserve it for the work you have done putting this together. Again thank you from DRERTV
This video helped me build a great little setup just like this!!
5:09 I can't seem to find that double pole that screws together to make a larger one, do you have a direct link to the same one?
WOAH! This is exactly what I need. I have an attic space and use an iMac 27" as my computer. I have slanted walls near my desk but I'm sure I can configure this In a manner that can still fit. Im still stunned that I found this video tutorial. Just created my YT channel a couple of weeks ago and need a setup for doing videos and streaming games. Thank you for this!!
This video was very helpful for our home studio setup..... thank you
Does anyone know of a suitable replacement for the 1x2 LED Light (FL-3060 or FL-1x2 LED Mat Light)..? Current model no longer available (UK) and struggling to find another with a softbox.
amazing idea... "one stand to rule them all..."
a like for that lotr related comment 👌
Best video ever! Thank you!
Hi
Bruh you have 14 mil

This was a great video and I just built this as shown with a couple differences. The end caps on the VESA mount arms were a little difficult to pry out. Not impossible, but I had to jam a flat head screwdriver multiple times before it finally gave way and came out. I also did not need to enlarge the holes to use the 3/8 tripod screws. The tripod ball head came with two 3/8 to 1/4 tripod screw adapters. I was able to fit the 1/4 tripod screw (included in the recommended tripod screw link) in the existing hole on the arm, and then use the adapter to attach the tripod extension pole for the camera. I also did the same with the long VESA arm for the light, except I used the ball mount and attached directly to the VESA arm rather than use the monitor VESA plate. Hope that makes sense, but I was relieved I didn't have to do any drilling! I also attached the mic mount to the same arm as the camera instead of buying an extra arm. It works for now, but I may add another if I want more flexibility. Thanks again!
crap lol I hope I didn't throw those away :) I bought and used this rb.gy/hsmqpe thanks for this m8.
Thanks for the tip about the end caps not being easy to pry out. Actually I am stuck on the step right before and can't get the bolt out with an allen wrench like he did in the tutorial and was wondering if maybe the arm is manufactured differently now. Did you have any issues removing the bolt?
DUDE! You made my day and answered a couple of design questions for me! Glad I watched this video and thanks too!
Great video! If I just want the light setup, am I buying the main arm and the light or do I need some adaptors as well?
Amazon has the similar main arm: www.amazon.com/dp/B08LZ58T2L?ref=myi_title_dp
Great. I am buying this now. What is the weight of this ?
How can this setup be adapted to live-stream into a zoom room? 🤷♀️ With so many people working from home, this could be a good solution. 🤓
If you get the Camlink (or similar HDMI-to-USB) capture device, your camera capture device should show up as a device in Zoom, as a “webcam”.
@@DionV Thanks! I ordered a capture device and with a bit of luck, I'll be hosting meetings in a few days. Stay safe and have fun! 😷🤪
when gaming on this setup, does it shake the camera around?
thank you. your audio is nice and the quality of your video is really good, and your explanation is really nice. i like how you are so clear and organized. also i like how you just do all the thinking for me, i have an idea for a podcast and i kind of want a turnkey solution so i can just jump in. don't really want to think through all this again. the only thing is i wish you would just put the information all on screen so i don't have to read your description. I was watching your video on a roku device, from there i can't easily check your description. hey wait a minute... i just checked out the camera from your video it costs over $1200. okay so that kind of blows the $391 budget. okay so anyway you have a cool idea for holding up all your av equipment but it makes no mention of the other stuff we beginners need to know. So honestly, not ideal for me but thank you because some of your ideas are really very cool.
He does clearly explain that $391 is for those who have a camera. Maybe you could watch the video again on a computer and read the description there? What else do you need to know?
So helpful man , this is gonna take my channel to the next level. Could I bother to ask what kind of desk you’re using? I love it!
Thank you, I swear I think you have been reading my mind lately🤲
*Takes off professor X helmet* Thanks man!!!
this was so professional i thought i paid for it
The link for the light takes me to a page with several solutions. The two that come closest to what you showed are the Andoer or Fositan solutions. Would you please let me know the specific light you are recommending. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for a great video!
I had the same issue Michael, but after researching I found the "Andoer FL-3060A" and it's been working great for me!
André Mikalsen the (rectangle) $216 one? Or the half size (square shaped) $90 one?
Hey there. Great video. Perhaps you could have a followup video specifying how to setup the video camera... cables, cords, software, and so on. Thaks
This seems like it might have great potential for the amateur musician who might often be working solo. I like that you suggested OBS; it's the one FOSS that I'm aware of that's multicam capable. That's something I'm interested in. At the moment, the only portion that list that I've actually spent money on is a deskclamp scissors stand ( $15.97 on eBay ). In addition to the mic clamp, it has a pop filter and a cell phone clamp. The other items I'll likely take a pause on and accumulate gradually. Still they're very useful and great ideas for ultimately improving the quality of my RUclips uploads. And no doubt as this transpires, it will involve purchases from among the affiliate links.
I bet this guys clothing shelves have perfectly folded cloths stacked accurately and colour coded...am I correct?
This is brilliant, thanks!

Caleb I need your help! Can you validate that when using a capture card like the Camlink or HD60S+ with a mirrorless like Sony A7III on Mac with quicktime at higher quality that you can actually capture ProRes 422 straight to your computers internal HDD? I have in setup now and seems like it works but wasn't sure if that is the same setup you have here and if that truly is a way to capture ProRes from the Sony without having to get an external monitor/recorder or transcoding in FCPX.
Capturing directly into Mac is such a pain. You need to get Blackmagic box/recorder or external monitor/capture like Atomos Ninja. I’m looking into same issues and solution and prob will go with Ninja to capture 4K. Camlink seems too good to be true?
Got ya beat mines a RUclips studio ,my art desk ,modelers studio ,and workspace for computers that would make any pen tester really happy...two computers with four screens.
A wrap around desk with a pop up drafting/art table, a swing arm cameras ,and mics on a old lamp arm (The old ones with tension springs. )
I found a lot of my stuff second hand from my local Goodwill Retail or Goodcents (Goodwill Wholesale by the pound not item.)You can get everything from cords, lights, hell anything and everything you just have to dig thru bins to find things not a bad price for digging thru boxes and bins.( I think its .79 a pound for housewares electronics and toys.
I wanna say 1.67 a pound for cloths and liens.
usually
Thank you! Thank you! Calm and sensible information. Now all I have to do is workout how to set the arm to point downwards to my desk so that my hands can be seen. Great video.
