Hi this is great thank you.. but can you share a video on overhead set up for tutorial video.. it will help me a lot.. thank you
Great studio setup. Can you give me some insight into the colour choice for your studio. I see you've used grey and I'm considering the same, and have heard 18% grey is suggested. Would love your insight here mate?
Thank you for this video! I am looking for a video that shows me what I would order/need for a set up to film things on a desk such a book flip through, teaching something as I am doing it on a desk, etcetera. The camera would be filming a section of a desk where the product/art/item will be located as I walk through it. Do you have a video you made for such a process? Thanks! Lynn
this is so amazing thank you for sharing!
This is brilliant!
What is the color of your wall?
what are the dimensions of the desk?
can't find this light or similar anywhere
that composition man: thoughtful, elegant angles, simple yet deliberate…
⏸️ stares
… singular blink
⏯️ rubs face and takes off glasses
SUPER!
may I know the color of your wall?
Your light is wrong my brother
Wow will this work with Sony zv1
Good info!
I'm really glad that you got a lot of views and likes on this video. It's great advice 👍
great video thank you…
Has anyone figured out the correct light? I don’t see this light on Amazon.
Excellent video! Thank you very much for the content. Please, some information: Will this Sigma lens 16mm F1.4 fit the new Sony ZV e1?
very clever!
Great video. look professional.
I'm only 1 min in and I'm so stoked about this. LOL
Hey, great video. I'm not finding the light you recommended. What is an alternate light? Thanks
Thank you for the video,. I'm interested to know how to you eliminate reflections from computer screens on your glasses, i need to work on my computer sometimes while in meeting and it is annoying to see the screen. Thanks
When people say "in this video" 📹. It really makes me want to click off. Just gets so tired of hearing it. Js
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!
I need to add a teleprompter to this.How do I achieve this?
Camera mounted to the desk is a problem for me. I'm too animated. Camera was constantly shaking. Building out three heavy-duty 150mm tripod stands with half ball, and the two-way panoramic tele lens heads changed the game!!!! I could drive a car into my studio and the cameras would not shake.
GREAT CONTENT
Nice set up. I like how everything is on one stand and can be pushed away when not in use. I've been adding everything to my Amazon shopping cart and taking advantage of Black Friday sales. But, your link does not go to a specific light. Which light do you suggest? I did some looking on Amazon and on B&H I don't think what I found were what you were showing in the video and they were very expensive. What is an affordable option? Is there anything beginner friendly?
Wow exactly what I need thank you 😊
Camera looks great except the delay!
Best video on this topic that I’ve seen.
Any other light suggestions since this is nowhere to be found now?
This is great !
I am going to some make adjustments, due to purchases already made over da years and re-use of old equipment.
If I ever get monitored or "Super that & The up ?
Then I will spend to up grade, my facilities !
Thx, for the " How To ?"
Now back to your show !
Grasshopper Out !
Hey Caleb @dslrvideoshooter really hoping you'll see this. Can you please tell me the alternate to the Fositan light I've been trying for months but it is out of stock and I can't find any other affordable LED mat light. If anyone wants to sell it I'll be more than happy to buy even a used one. Please help!
Your builds look awesome but I wonder if they work for a bigger camera like a canon R6 Mk II and 24-105 USM 4.0 lens? Seems like maybe you'd get some camera instability/shake – particularly in vertical mode? Any thoughts on that? I'm definitely going to build one of these…
Great setup. Seems like your led mat light is not available anymore. Can you recommend an alternativen?
All what I can say is You have mastered the art of making Youtube videos
This was VERY helpful. I'm just getting started trying to incorporate video with my real estate career and this is what I was looking for (at least I think:)
I ended up buying all this stuff and not figuring out how to actually assemble it.
What if you need a desk view ? With hands only?
Yes, that camera desk setup is awesome… my fantasy professional setup, hopefully one day soon!😊
Thank you for this video, it is a very good set up.
Definitely one of the best, if not the best demonstrations on setting up a home studio. Thanks very much.
