 What's happening everybody? In today's video I will give you a tour of my YouTube desk setup. Now I really enjoy watching other YouTube studio setups. I get great ideas from it and it helped me build my own YouTube studio. Now this YouTube studio wasn't built overnight so don't rush it, start somewhere and work your way up. Hopefully with this video you get inspired to build your own or even just take ideas from it to improve your own current YouTube studio. By the way you will find all the links to the product in the video description below. So starting off with my iMac Pro over there I use it mainly for video editing. Since I upgraded from the iMac to the iMac Pro my workflow has improved immensely. I'm much more efficient and can edit videos without much problem. If you want to know the specs I will display them right here or here. Now this was a huge investment for me but it was totally worth it since I edit my videos professionally. Now below I have the high rise Pro which elevates the iMac Pro to the optimal viewing height. What I really like about it is that I can store hard drives or personal items in it. The plate is magnetic and reversible. I can change the front plate between aluminum or walnut. It also has a padded letter top which I normally place my iPhone on it. To make the iMac Pro better accessible for USB 3, micro SD and SD cards I purchased the Sateki Type-C clamp. This way I don't have to access the card reading slots from behind. Now this is the ATER by Thunderbolt 2 G-Raid drive. I use this specifically to work on my video projects in Final Cut Pro X. It's important that you choose the right drive because this can affect the performance of your video edit. This drive offers a transfer rate up to 480 megabits per second which makes it really great for video editing. Now behind my iMac Pro is the Lazier Rugged Mini 1TB. It's a portable hard drive which sits on a shelf. I believe the shelf is called the 12 South backpack for iMac. The hard drive which is plugged into my iMac Pro functions as my backup drive. All important applications and files are saved in this drive so if for some reason my iMac would crash I would recover all of the lost data again. Below I have the 24TB GTEC Speed Shuttle Drive. I use this to back up all of my client and YouTube projects. I also have raw video material which are saved in a B-roll collection folder. This is great because whenever I need additional footage I can reach out to that folder. Now when I'm on the go I use my MacBook Pro to edit my videos. It can handle simple edits but for more complex edits I use my iMac Pro. Most of the time I use it to write my scripts outside. I tend to focus better that way. At home I find myself quickly distracted. What's also great is that I can use it as a second screen so with the monitor stand I can adjust it to my liking and work on both Macs. When I edit off my MacBook Pro I use the Samsung portable solid state drive with 500GB storage. The reason why I like using the portable SSD is because it's small and has a super fast transfer speed. I would say as fast as my GTEC drive. Now SSDs are more expensive than hard disk drive especially the higher you go with the capacity. So here we have the audio engine A2 Plus. I have been using this for quite a long time now. I really like the design of it not to mention the great sound quality. Really impressive for a speaker this size. Additionally I bought the desktop stands for it to really angle the speaker towards me to have a better listening experience. Now since I have my studio in my living room and don't live by myself it can get pretty loud sometimes. So what I like to use are these noise cancelling headphones by Bose. They are super comfortable and offer a great listening experience. I can connect it over Bluetooth and once noise cancelling is turned on it really diminishes the noise around me. I also use these headphones when I work outside with my MacBook Pro. The mouse I'm using is the Logitech Master MX. I have been using this mouse for almost four years now and it still works like a charm. The reason why I like using this mouse so much is because not only does it feel comfortable but I can customize it with different commands to fit my editing workflow. Since I'm not good at keeping plants alive I went with this small cactus it adds a bit of life into my desk and doesn't need much watering. Besides it I have my business card my pen which I got as a gift and it even has my name on it. As for my work lamp I'm using the Hector lamp from IKEA it has wireless charging for my iPhone. In it I use a smart bulb which is linked to Alexa that allows me to turn it on using my voice. So when I say Alexa turn on work lamp the lights go on. The desk table I'm using is from IKEA it's about eight feet long and is really perfect for the size I want it. Supporting the desk are two white Alex drawers that I also got from IKEA which I thought would match well with the counter top. Behind the desk I have an LED strip attached which also can be controlled by Alexa. So when I say Alexa turn off studio the lights turn off. I can even change the color of the light by either commanding it to Alexa or using the app on my phone. As a filmmaker I constantly need to charge various batteries. For that reason I've built myself a charging station. What I used is a pegboard called SCATIS that I got from IKEA to build this charging system. I have three different battery chargers mounted on the pegboard using velcro. I have two bins that hold batteries one for fully charged batteries the other for empty batteries. I mounted a tray to the bottom which holds different accessories for the Ronin S. I have the Ronin S hanging onto hooks which is additionally supported by a tension loop. I also attached a cable box that allows me to power my studio light. Having this type of charging system just makes everything much more organized and allows me to be more efficient. The camera setup I'm using is this monsters thing. I actually have a full video on this on how I've built it together. The link will be up here. I have the Sony ASIN 3 mounted to a mini tripod. The lens I use is the Sony 28mm f2.0. The box you see is a portable teleprompter from Parrot. This has been a lifesaver for me. I can just launch the app on my iPhone and read out the script. Below I have the small HD monitor. To the right is the zoom H1 to view my audio levels. My Sony headphones to monitor the audio. And the RODE NTG4 Plus shotgun mic which produces excellent audio quality. So when I need to film my next YouTube video I can just place this on any surface, press a few buttons and start recording. I recently replaced my old chair with the Noble Chair Epic. The reason why I've upgraded to this chair is because I work long hours on the computer especially when I'm editing a video. I wanted something that was high quality and felt comfortable to sit on. The aesthetic design of it gives it a nice look and fits really well with my studio setup. What I really like is the adjustability which makes it more ergonomic to use. Last I have my Sony a7 III camera rig. I made a separate video about this on how I've built it together. I use this rig mostly for client work. The tripod I use and absolutely love is the Zachtler system. The great part about this tripod is that I can unlock each leg to adjust the height. This not only increases the setup time but also is back-friendly. As a bonus I use a labor maker to name everything. This is very important for having your studio organized. This way you can easily identify where your things are. I have almost everything labeled so that I know where to find those things and it's also fun to do.
