Rode VideoMicro, super keen to improve my audio quality because of the classic 'no one will watch good video with bad audio but they'll sit through bad video with good audio'
I definitely need to improve on audio too cause nobody hasn’t complained about video quality from me using my iPhone to record but they have complained about the audio so getting the microphone is a must
One thing that a lot of TH-camrs don't understand that the growth of a channel takes time. Nothing happens overnight and you're gonna need to nurture your channel like a plant. You need to water it daily, provide sunshine, and most importantly, have patience! 👌🏻
*To all the dreamers out there, don't ever let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and right people, ANYTHING is possible...*
Over the years,I have bought your camera, few of your mics,your light,your external hard drive, your SD card,your lens etc I am no where near your standard but you are my inspiration.
thank you for this!!! this is very helpful!! do you have any videos specifically on how to use your cameras? (im a total newbie and only film on my iphone at the moment and feel like id be confused lol)
*I know you are tired.* *But so they are.* *One more step.* *You didn't come this far to only come this far.* *The dream is still there.* *One more step.* I believe in you, keep going. 🖤
Thank you for this video!! An updated version with complete set up, from start to finish (camera, mic, computer, editing video, export, saving, uploading etc) would be great!
If you angle the ringlight up towards the ceiling at an angle it will bounce light off the ceiling back on to you and you won’t get angel eyes and it’ll be more diffused.
Hi Cathrin, a little tip for the batteries. I have 3 batteries for my Canon and I used a masking tape (same as you did on Lacie) to label them "A, B, C" (could be 1,2,3). Basically it's for even rotation and me knowing which battery I need to charge next or change to next. A died, B died so you know you gotta change it to C, without trying two (one dead, one charged) etc.
To anyone who has a Canon M50 and has the issue with tripod plates blocking the battery door, I can not recommend enough buying an Alzo battery door plate for this camera! I had the issue for years, but this plate simply shifts the tripod mount to the side do you can still open the door with a tripod plate on the camera. It's like 20 bucks but it's a lot cheaper than buying a new tripod or camera
I remember when I started watching this channel like 4 or 5 months ago when I had just under 50 subscribers. Look where I'm at now and fully monetized. Awesome channel this one 🙌🙌🙌
Hey, just letting you know that the link to your car suction cup thing is no longer available but there is another one exactly like it you might want to link to so you get your affiliate share
Loved the vid. Have the same things only ALL Nikon. Back in 2012 my Dad passed. Before he went we discussed what I might do with my share of the inheritance. Long story short, I told him I missed photography as a business. Back in the 70’s I was in a prestigious dance company any did the portfolios for the other dancers. Loved it, and so did they. Dad said he would be happy for me to do that. The following year he died. Two years of mourning later set about doing what you did only with Nikon, Manfrotto, name it, I bought it. Then 'I’ got ill. I was in and out of hospital for years. It has only been this year I have been allowed home. Meantime my wonderful wife, Josie, built me a fully equipped studio. Now I have all these golden boxes from Nikon to open and courses to look at to make me a certified pro again. Good luck to you, I shall watch with interest. And I shall start a YT page to catalogue my progress. Kudos on your work so far. All the best…🧷
Hello Cathrin 👋🏽 I just wanted to thank you. My skincare channel has nearly reached 1 million views in 24 months and your videos have helped massively! Anyway back to watching this one!🤗
OH! And my favorite discovery outside of these awesome recommendations has been the "plug-in" canon battery - it's perfect for stationary videos because you never ever have to worry about the battery running out, you just plug in and go as long as you need!
You’re the best ! I love your TH-cam channel. I like how you’re helping others achieve their goals & I can’t wait to start my journey. Thank you for helping us.
@@CathrinManning i’ve been wanting a wide angle lens for so long and this just makes me want one so bad!! i shoot with sony and the 10-18 is soooo expensive
Catherin - have you ever done a video describing how you organize and move content between your computer and your external hard drive, and decide which library to edit from? I can't seem to figure it out.
Cameras, lenses, lighting, microphones, accessories become an addiction. Current addiction: cell phone accessories. If it plugs in or can be mounted, I'm in.
Great vid Cathrin! I have many of these things, including the M50 camera. My big problem is I like play back my videos WITHOUT touching my camera. I cannot find a remote to play video back. (only to start and stop recording) Maybe this doesn't concern you in you vids since you a natural! If you know of one please respond to this when you get a chance.
I have just worked my way up each time I can afford it. It’s all a great investment for the future and my clients have noticed the videos getting better too! Thanks Catherine!
@@CathrinManning thanks Catherine. I have been following your journey since May in the middle of the Pandemic! I was determined to start up my own channel and just start creating videos! I must say, you’ve been a breath of fresh air! Your content, keyword advice and transparency on this platform enabled me to turn my passion into my career. To think I now get paid for doing what I love it still surprises me now and then! I know I’ve worked hard for it but it’s people like you who have inspired me to build and to continue to build my business. So from the bottom of my heart thank you ❤️
Hi Catherin! Loving ALL of your videos, they’re amazing! May you please do a video on your favorite settings for the Canon M50? After watching tons and tons of videos I still struggle! Thank you💕
That was so much gear. I was drooling over all of it, but I won't lie, too much equipment would distract me from creating videos. Simple and lazy is the best!
For anyone who owns the Canon M50, the best purchase for it is the 22mm pancake lens! No need to upgrade the actual camera itself. And the great thing about the Canon STM 22mm lens, it fits without the need of an adapter lens. It’s the best lens really for any kind of filming, vlogging, as it gives a nice bokeh to the background and even photos come out top notch with it! When it comes to cameras, it’s more about the lenses vs. the actual camera body. Canon M50 is a mirrorless camera, so unfortunately some original canon lenses won’t all fit it. But in that case they sell a mount adapter lens that you can purchase if you end up finding a lens that you really want. I own the Viltrox adapter in order to use my Canon STM 50mm lens, which is a lens used more for photography and close ups/headshots. One last thing: make sure you buy extra battery packs. Canons battery that comes with the camera does not last long at all! Hope this helps somebody new to video equipment in general. I’ve been really learning a lot this past year. 💗
Thank you for sharing your video equipment! I have come back to this video several times in trying to decide what kind of equipment I want to buy and this has been very helpful!
These videos are such a motivation of what my channel could eventually be. I still have a very very basic setup but can’t wait to invest more into my channel hopefully in 2022! ❤️😍
I have an old 500gb Lacie hard drive from when I went to college in 2012... I actualy forgot all about it till I heard u mention it haha..... Man that thing took a beating and it still works
Many New TH-camrs get caught up in buying too much equipment before they record they first video. Rule #1 Do Not Buy Another Piece of Equipment til you Make your First video. Most People go back to their cell phone iphone after spending thousands of dollars. Make the best with Less is the Game. Don't blow the budget cause you can that money could be use for other things like unboxings actors location etc. Thanks Cat Great Vid.
I frequently watch the short term sales at B and H. Over the past few years, I've only made a couple of impulse purchases that way. However, a few weeks ago, I bought a Lume Cube Panel Go Bundle that comes with a stand. I'm very happy with it. There are two small led light panels that have adjustable brightness and temperature. I see that the price is back up to where had been and it's listed as back ordered, but if anyone finds it on sale again, it's been really convenient for me to use.
Great video! Thanks for the suggestions! For your boom stand, can you switch the end out to a fitting that holds a camera? I do how-to videos and need a horizontal tripod, but don’t want to fork out the cash for the Manfrotto until my channel monetizes. It’s like, I need to spend money to make money, but it’s $$$$.
Slow and steady wins the race...I feel like I have bought so much gear...and yet...there is so much gear that I still want. We all know that gear only takes you so far. But I really dig the eye focus on the MarkII...great video Cathrin. You are looking amazing!!!
I did the same thing a year ago I bought a cheap cannon power shot at target for $300 and later found out no mic impute and no flip screen so I'll just use it for a nice beat around camera that I'm not afraid to get a little dirty when taking still photos. Had no idea what I was looking for.
Great Video Cathrin, I have the same manfrotto shotgun tripod I had to upgrade after the thumb roller jammed up . So bought a manfrotto x290 up which is a lot more sturdy .
I’ve used my video mic pro + for months and have never even thought about charging the battery… 😅 forgot it was even battery powered. But it turns on as soon as you turn on your camera so you never miss the audio.
This is helpful for my channel that doesn't involve talking, so probably upgrading camera would be good later but not now...still using my sony a6000 until I get monetized probably and making enough on YT. Thanks for the video Cathrin!
I plan on using a windshield clamp to hold my phone while I am doing on the road vlogs. I have the latest iPhone, is there anything additional you think I would need to add to ensure quality audio while the car is in motion? Wanting not to pick up too much background noise from the ventilation, traffic, or just regular sounds the car may make… thanks
I was literally looking at your old equipment video moments before you uploaded to see which deals to watch out for Black Friday or add on my Christmas wishlist lol🎄
I bought the powerextra batteries a while back on your recommendation and they are SO much better than the other ones I was using. Thanks so much! And that tripod where you can change your battery looks like the best invention ever. 😂 Thanks so much this video! 😃
Thanks for your content I'm starting a TH-cam channel. Bcz of u.. Your vlogs. And your past really touched my hard and told me it's fine to have imposter syndrome and more. I love your content keep creating it 👍
You should buy "dummy batteries" for your cameras. They look like a battery with a cord coming out the bottom and plug into an AC adapter to power your camera constantly. Since you mostly record indoors in your home, you could get one for each of your camera types and you would never have to worry about your battery going dead mid-take. I love them for streaming too... I use one with my Sony ZV-1 and use it as my primary webcam for Zoom and Teams meetings, live streams, and YouTuve videos. Buying one now for my new ZV-E10 and also have one for my Canon 90D as well. They are really so nice compared to using batteries when you are at home or in a studio. Save the batteries for when you are out and about. :)
Thanks for sharing your recommendations ! Lacie, a tripod and a good phone is good enough to start creating content :) The key is keep on creating, be consistent and start with what you've got.
The button adapter on the tall manfroto does not allow you to open the battery compartment on the canon g7x mark ii. It’s just a bit too close to open.
SUPER helpful! Hv several of yr recommended products- but NOT each that you LOVE… I’m especially primed to upfront Cannon. Do you hv ideas for doing that BEST? Going straight to a Cannon Dealer or differently? Maybe you could address ideal ‘upgrading’ in an upcoming vid? Thx for sharing your wealth of knowledge! 🌻🍂
I've been waiting for this one since you mentioned it in your vlogs!! Some of my bigger regrets when upgrading equipment have been microphones ... I STILL haven't found one I'm happy with and have just been using the default one on my ZV-1 now
microphones are tough for me as well! I tend to just stick to the basics so I don't deal with the battery dying and having no audio while I record without me knowing lol
I love that you've got a motherload of tripods, I feel like I'm starting my little collection too! 😂 I'm surprised you hand-carry your camera when vlogging and don't have it on a tripod - your lens stabilisation must be really good. I'm considering the Pgytech Mantispod Pro next as an all-in-one vlogging/ mini tripod. C'mon Black Friday! 👍
oh my gosh yessss when it comes to vlogging, I always just hand carry it and it's not too bad! when I'm stopped and have the option, I will rest my elbow on a table or something for a bit of support and less wiggle but otherwise, it's not bad!
@@CathrinManning Good to know! I've got the M50ii with kit lens and the mega-crop with extreme digital stabilisation on means I need to get the camera further away from me. soooo... it's either changing the lens or use a tripod. I'm going the cheaper option first. 😜
Thanks for the video, Cathrin. Can I just confirm, as a big fan of your videos and content, do you use the 'kit lens' for your main channel vidoes that comes with the Canon EOS M50 mk II? Many thanks, keep up the good work.
I literally just finished your Vlog video that referenced this video, and then this video popped up! Love your videos and thoughts relating to creating content!
Which camera do you recommend for the first camera that's around $500, I do some vlogs then mainly sit down videos. Thanks for your help ! Love your videos
what piece of equipment do you have your eyes on?! 👀
Rode VideoMicro, super keen to improve my audio quality because of the classic 'no one will watch good video with bad audio but they'll sit through bad video with good audio'
I definitely need to improve on audio too cause nobody hasn’t complained about video quality from me using my iPhone to record but they have complained about the audio so getting the microphone is a must
Right now I think I've outgrown iMovie.... thinking about moving up to Final Cut Pro... 😬 intimating!!!!
I'm in the market for a new tripod for my outdoor and gardening videos. I just broke mine 2 days ago. :( Thanks for the video. Great as always!
I can't wait to get Sony A7s iii as a main camera and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k pro as 2nd angle camera and Canon R5 as vlogging camera.

This was really insightful, thank you. Could you please make a series on what to look for in equipment gear
Do you have any videos on the Mac book you have I've never owned a Mac anything lol so I'm just curious as to your tips or recommendations if any
Slow and steady wins the race...I feel like I have bought so much gear...and yet...there is so much gear that I still want. We all know that gear only takes you so far. But I really dig the eye focus on the MarkII...great video Cathrin. You are looking amazing!!!
Fantastic!! And yes they still sell the Dolica (at least as of last year) because my husband bought it for me from your video in 2019.
Great video and reviews what you like and don’t like. Your editing and storytelling is top notch. Great job.
Great content! Thank you for taking the time to show us your equipment. The suction mounts and the extra batteries were definitely my takeaways!

Hi Cathrin! Love your videos I would recommend you get a NAS to store and backup you videos on the cloud! That is what I do !
Yes the classic battery removal issue! I’m grabbing this tripod! Thank you ❤️
Thanks for all of the recommendations!
Thanks for sharing your recommendations !
Lacie, a tripod and a good phone is good enough to start creating content :)
The key is keep on creating, be consistent and start with what you've got.
Yes. Be consistent
Damn Cathrin that was a SMOOTH transition!

Going straight to a Cannon Dealer or differently? Maybe you could address ideal ‘upgrading’ in an upcoming vid? Thx for sharing your wealth of knowledge! 🌻🍂
I've been waiting for this one since you mentioned it in your vlogs!! Some of my bigger regrets when upgrading equipment have been microphones ... I STILL haven't found one I'm happy with and have just been using the default one on my ZV-1 now
microphones are tough for me as well! I tend to just stick to the basics so I don't deal with the battery dying and having no audio while I record without me knowing lol
Random heads up, I learned from other friends that you actually can connect Blue mics to your cameras via the mic jacks.
I love that you've got a motherload of tripods, I feel like I'm starting my little collection too! 😂 I'm surprised you hand-carry your camera when vlogging and don't have it on a tripod - your lens stabilisation must be really good. I'm considering the Pgytech Mantispod Pro next as an all-in-one vlogging/ mini tripod. C'mon Black Friday! 👍
oh my gosh yessss when it comes to vlogging, I always just hand carry it and it's not too bad! when I'm stopped and have the option, I will rest my elbow on a table or something for a bit of support and less wiggle but otherwise, it's not bad!
@@CathrinManning Good to know! I've got the M50ii with kit lens and the mega-crop with extreme digital stabilisation on means I need to get the camera further away from me. soooo... it's either changing the lens or use a tripod. I'm going the cheaper option first. 😜
I'm also waiting for those Black Friday deals! 😂
Your one click can change my life please 🔔
Thanks for the video, Cathrin. Can I just confirm, as a big fan of your videos and content, do you use the 'kit lens' for your main channel vidoes that comes with the Canon EOS M50 mk II? Many thanks, keep up the good work.
I literally just finished your Vlog video that referenced this video, and then this video popped up! Love your videos and thoughts relating to creating content!
hahahah what perfect timing!
Which camera do you recommend for the first camera that's around $500, I do some vlogs then mainly sit down videos. Thanks for your help ! Love your videos
Question...you shoot with memory cards and edit on external hard drive. Do you leave the raw footage on the card? Thanks. Love what you do!
Fantastic equipment you have, thanks for sharing
Great gear you got there! I'm using Canon 90D, and its doing a pretty good job.
Great video! and man i love your hair!
I would love to hear your thoughts on the Rode Videomic Go II for vlogging!
Yoy should give a tour on where you store all this equipment on the vlog channel!
oh my gosh it's a MESSSSS! maybe that can be a vlog of me organizing it all 😂
lol
