 Hello everyone and glad to have you back on my channel. Okay so I get a lot of questions from people asking me what camera setup I use. So in today's video I'm gonna reveal my ultimate camera setup that I use for all of my talking head videos on YouTube. Let me show you how my camera setup looks like. Okay. Alright so this is my ultimate YouTube setup for my talking head videos. As you can see it's massive. I will be talking about each component and how I built it together. I would say this is the perfect vlogging setup. Holy crap if I would walk the whole day with this I wouldn't feel my arms anymore. Now this is a massive setup but for me it's like one complete piece that I can move around at home. You should know that I have built this setup over time and has served me pretty well. As you can see I've gone really creative with it and built it in a way that I can be more efficient when doing my talking head videos on YouTube. It does look overkill but there are a lot of benefits with this setup. This might not work for you but you might get a few ideas on how to improve your camera setup to be more efficient when doing your videos. Maybe you will find things that you have never thought of before that could save you time in the long run. The goal for me was to have an all in one system without much setup time. I use half of my living room as my dedicated studio and I don't want to have a huge setup that would take up more space than it should. Now I wanted something compact where I can just quickly place the camera and start recording and that is where I can be most productive. If you want to check out all the products that I have mentioned in this video I will leave a link in the video description below. I use the ROLI mini tripod. It's made out of aluminium which makes it very light to travel. Of course not with that setup. You can extend the legs up to 12 cm and even pivot the legs 180 degree. It has a ball head on top with a quick release plate which is convenient if you want to quickly take off the A camera and mount it somewhere else. The build quality is really good and the reason why I use this mini tripod instead of a bigger tripod like that over there is because I can place it anywhere on a table. So for my usual setup I place it on my dresser facing towards my computer. Or if I want I can place it on my desk to get different angles. You get the point. I can always adjust the legs to fit the height if I wanted to. Next with the super clamp I have the Manfrotto magic arm mounted to my mini tripod. It can hold up a lot of weight like my small HD monitor. The magic arm is really handy because I can position it however I want to. Since the Sony a7 III doesn't have a flip up screen I use the monitor to check my framing. The small HD has a lot of features that I use for setting my exposure. I use the Sony MPF 970 battery. I have a bunch of them. Really great capacity. To hold this shotgun mic in place I use a nano clamp with two friction arms. As you can see I love friction arms with a ball head mounted at the end. The ball head allows me to adjust the mic so that I can point it towards my mouth. With the extended arms I can have it close to my mouth, have a crisp audio and be in the frame. As you can see the closer I get the crispier the audio gets. This is a nice hack if you don't want to set up a boom stand that will usually take up a lot of space and time to set up. The mic I'm currently using is the NTG4+, which is on the shock mount microphone holder. I love this mic because it has an internal rechargeable battery that lasts up to 150 hours and produces great sound quality. To monitor the audio I use the Zoom H5 which is connected to the NTG4+, using an XLR cable and to the Sony A7 III using a 3.5mm audio cable. To hold the Zoom H5 in place again I use a small magic arm that is screwed to the mega clamp. With the levels displayed on the screen I can make sure that the audio isn't peaking staying between minus 6 and minus 12 decibels. I always do an audio test before I start recording. I use the Sony headphones to monitor my voice and I usually leave them on while filming because when I get excited sometimes there are these unwanted pop noises. Hear that? And I don't want that on my audio. What's great is that I can hang those headphones onto my super clamp. On top goes my Sony A7 III camera which is mounted on my quick release plate. I can use the ball head and the indicator to level out the horizon. The Sony A7 III is a really awesome camera and I have talked so much about it. I shoot all of my talking head videos in 4K 25fps using Log as my picture profile. The lens I use is the Sony 28mm f2. This is probably my most used lens at the moment. This affordable lens has a really great focal length that works great for my home studio and creates a nice separation between me and the background. Attached to the lens is the Parrot Teleprompter. This is such a great tool to have. You can basically speak naturally while looking directly at the lens. That way you don't always have to look down at your script. It's affordable, really easy to use and you can run your text on your smartphone. It comes with adapter rings that fits almost any lens. You can also take it everywhere with you since it's so small. This really helps me to stay focused on what's most important so that I don't waste anybody's time. On top I have the Sony Remote which is attached to my mini teleprompter using Velcro. This way I can just take it off and press the record button instead of reaching behind the camera and triggering the record button that way. As for the light, I use the Aputure 120D with the Massive Light Dome 2. Using good light and knowing how to light yourself and the environment makes a huge difference in the quality of your video. A lot of people who start out neglect lighting, they always have to buy the most expensive camera. I use this kind of softbox because I really want to get that soft light for a more pleasing look. Here is a good thing to remember. The bigger and closer the source of light the softer the light will get and that is what you usually want. There are of course other LED lights out there that are smaller and produce soft light but I find the Aputure 120D combined with the Light Dome 2 creates a really soft light for my videos. That was basically it for my camera setup. Let me know what you think of this setup. I'm open for new suggestions and improvements. Thank you so much guys for watching.
