1. What questions do you have about building your YouTube Setup? Let us know below! ⬇

   1. I use an Obsbot Meet 2 for my webcam and want to use it for recording overhead vids of art demos. Other than using QuickTime or Obsbot Center as my recording software… what would you suggest as a easy to use and reliable recording app for a desktop Mac mini (that doesn’t cost and arm and a leg!). 😉 TY

   2. For a faceless channel that only shoots vids of a workspace in a cozy, low light home environment. Looking for a great budget light for the workspace with tilt stand options. The amaran vex Nate just did a vid on looks promising but not enough tilt down to workspace. Checking out the wireless mic set ups in this vid and the magnus tripod. Thx!

   3. I wonder how AI will affect stock media websites like Storyblocks, I’m already seeing creators use AI media in their videos

2. Not sure about the lighting suggestion, to get soft light you really need to look at 60cm surface area minimum so I think really the best bet is a cheap COB paired with a cheap softbox as panel lights large enough are too expensive and otherwise you need to start adding diffusion sheets, or trying to bounce off another surface, it’s a pain.

   1. We love larger lights and frequently recommend the 60D with a soft box, but for some people these panel kits will work great, are easier to setup and cheaper. I am only using these 2 panel lights to light my scene in this video, and while the lighting could certainly be softer, I think it looks solid for most people’s beginner setup!

   500 subs? Another upgrade.

10. Thanks for the great info! I struggle knowing what to use and even how to use what I have. TOTALLY tech illiterate lol, but working on it! Still definitely at the start with my channel, but super grateful for the content you guys put out for small channels. MUCH love 💪

11. Wowzers.

    I wouldn’t have thought that lighting could be good at under $500. To see that kit is under $400 is amazing and worth looking at. 😮

    1. For sure!!

12. I legit was searching for a starter content creator amazon prime day video and you guys came through as usual! Thank you

13. Yes it would awesome to have more videos on setting up and optimizing these equipment because the buying part is easy – how to actually use them IRL is another thing LOL.
