 All right guys so welcome back to another video and today's video is interesting for so many reasons and the first one is that I'm recording this particular video on my iPhone 10 and every item that I'm using to aid this mobile recording is by today's sponsor yes you heard right sponsor I have a sponsor for the channel I mean this particular video not a sponsor for the channel this particular video and that is chicacopay.com and I'm happy to do this because it's a service that I use or it's a platform that I use if you are content creator if you are a youtuber here in Ghana you know how difficult it is to actually get mobile gear to come to Ghana for you to use and the price and all these things so if you can actually have a platform a web or website that you can actually buy these things from affordably competitively priced with what you might see online and not forgetting the fact that chicacopay.com is also the only authorized authorized reseller of aperture and deity products right here in Ghana then you know you're getting good quality at affordable prices so I'm excited to have them sponsoring this particular video and also to share with you how you can record videos on your mobile phone without it necessarily being poor quality because you can get good sound good light and you don't have to concentrate on buying a DSLR or mirrorless camera before you can get really good quality video so I got these items from chicacopay and I'm going to show you some of them that I got the one that I'm recording this particular support system with is a Zome mobile tripod and that's what it's hanging on with the phone clamp but the much more interesting one that I got here is the mini portable LED lights that's the ML 180 AI I wish I had a top-down recording so you guys can see is the newer one and newer I don't know how to pronounce this all the time it's newer and inside this portable system that you can get on chicacopay.com I think it's less than 500 cities and you get two of each of these items I'm about to show you you get two of them and over here you have an LED light panel which I'm doing on boxing which is quite sturdy quite strong it's actually heavy so it's not cheap material at all in the box you also have charges one is USB this is the regular Android USB charger as well as USB Type-C charger for the light and then finally sorry about the mess and then finally you have a clamp system which not clamp system I think it's mounting mounting gear which you can put on top of the clamp which I like because it also has a hot shoe mount which means that you can easily slide this in and tighten it and be able to also mount the light on top of this and use it when you have your phone and you don't care so much about sound but you need to have light on top of the phone you can do that as well so that's what comes in the box and it comes with a mini tripod a mini tripod as well and remember that like I said you're getting two of all these items I'm mentioning in one pack for less than 500 cities on chicacopay.com so it comes with a mini tripod which you can use as a vlogging tripod as well as you can have it stand on a table and then you can record with as well so these are some of the items that you can use to record with your mobile phone having good light and having good sound now my setup right now is even overkill for the kind of recording that you can do because you definitely do not need this huge light to record but if that is what you can actually afford don't buy the camera buy the light with the softbox which softlights makes for perfect or better flattering video than you having a nice or decent mirrorless camera and having poor light and poor sound so I would rather you invest in light if that's what you can actually afford in addition to your mobile phone and recording BTS or behind the scenes looking at all this mess on the table is my black magic cinema pocket 4k which is what I usually use to record and you don't have to record your sound separately because I'm a sound person I prefer to record my sound separately from my camera so that I can work on the sound and synchronize in post but that's not what you you should do all the time you can actually put your microphone on top of the clamp where is the clamp again on top of this clamp because it has a hot shoe mount you can put the microphone on top here and record your sound directly into your phone if you have a connector to do that I have to use this as my connector because the adapter has to go into my microphone before I can go into my iPhone so if you have that good and speaking of light or having cheaper versions of light if you're not using the newer lights which is a much forgive me for the mess I don't do product reviews so which is a much smaller light and you want to have a slightly bigger light source you can use one of these panels here which is a bigger light source as well there's one of the cheap ones that I have that I use to help with my lighting situation when I don't have a chance to use this huge lighting source right here so that's an example of how you can get really good video really good sound by recording with your mobile phone and concentrating on having beautiful soft light as well as quality sound and when we talk about sound there are a plethora of sound options you can use your shotgun microphone there are cheaper versions from Boya which which is very small it's like a road video micro you put it on top of the camera and you connect and it's plug-and-play you don't need to do the volume or anything it comes with a dead cat and everything which is good for recording outside so all these options are available to you and you can find those items as well on chicacopay.com so if you have any questions about filming with your mobile gear and where to find these gear I think that for me from the span of my career or getting into video recording in the last one and a half years I've been buying most of my items almost everything here my sound recorder which is the zoom h4n pro my microphone my lights which is that it's not aperture yes it's the aperture amaran 100d all of them I go from chicacopay.com so depends on your budget pick up what works for you but you can actually equally get that's what I'm trying to say you can equally get really good video and one thing that we also don't talk about a lot is our setup or our background or production setup so wherever you're gonna record in the house make sure that your background is tidy and you know attractive enough or appealing enough because if your background is untidy it's difficult for the person to concentrate on the video without thinking was what's in the background there what's that why you recording in this space so also make sure that you're recording in a space where your background is actually really well thought-of and planned for I would say don't record close to a wall but that would be wrong for mobile phone because mobile phone actually captures everything you don't get blurred backgrounds like you would with the other camera which is recording the BTS for us as well that one is a cinema camera which can capture things and have blurry background so that's not the same so still find something with a lot of depth in your room and make sure that it's your background is actually clean and taking care of if possible make it plain it's better to be plain than have a lot of activity in the background which will confuse people because your mobile phone doesn't have that blurring factor and everybody will be looking at whatever is behind you instead of concentrating on the video so that's about this particular video a very short one and I'm happy that it was brought to us by a sponsor for the first time on this channel I'm proud of that so my name is Kwame if you enjoyed this video give it a thumbs up and if you want much more content around this area one of my friends who does a lot of mobile filmmaking content is one men's II I'm gonna live leave a link to his YouTube channel in a description box below as well as chicacopet.com in a description box you can buy your items over there and I'll end the video right here and now I'll catch you in the next one I hope by yeah I've been recording cheers bye peace
