I PROMISE camera content resumes next week! Thank you for letting me get this desk stuff out of my system ha! Now onto writing another budget cinema camera script...
It kind of seemed like first half of the video you didn't really need the $100 rig at all. Laptop was sitting on totally different stand, for audio you've used different arms, and for the light... you had to modify the rig with another adapter. Which reminds me... you didn't even use it for audio setup. It just kept going like that... buy more things to make it work theme. It's like watching a really long commercial of all the parts you should buy to make this thing work. To prove my point you have 7 links in your video description to all the extra things you need to buy. I get you need to make money but man... you really made sure to push tons of products on this video.
As a supporting gadget nerd, I like seeing videos like this because there isn't a lot out there in regards to setting up a rig to support cameras and other equipment.
Caleb I absolutely love these different rigs and setups that you create and demonstrate. Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into these setups and videos, you have helped me (and I'm sure many many others based on the comments) SO MUCH. You're a champion. Cheers mate!
I was thinking how it would manage my a7iii. but u answered it.. it may be wobbly I guess.. dont want to risk it. will look for the other video stand u showed in the video. thank u!
I think this is exactly what I've been needing. I do a lot of facedown filming and have a need for a better mic position while filming. This is so helpful!Thank you SO much!
for shots like @3:21 one where you're talking to the camera, are you using the 16mm lens? and what stand/camera mount is being use for this specific angle
Dude, when I first saw this, it looked like it was the spitting image of your original design! Ended up buying it for myself, though it hangs from a floating shelf above my desk..
Just got one of these (through a EU provider) and I must admit that it's a super useful addition for my small home studio. I even use it to switch from my desktop and laptop settings. Had to find an extra screw adapter to attach my Blue Yeti mike on the arm, but it works fairly well. The only thing is, I can't attach my camera, because I have prompter and the weight of the whole gig would be too much. Still, great suggestion!
Nice video Caleb - we reviewed this product a while back and we are actually using it for product photography to hold things in the air - it can be pretty useful for that (and then remove the wires in post).
The Handy man of TH-cam for camera and filming category 💓🔥 Love your contact and your ideas and you are one of the people who made me know my purpose of life and what I love to do. ❤️
The joined arms like that instead of ball joints between the various arm parts like on Elgato seems very nice if you don't need the articulation that ball joints gives you, and you avoid the weakness of a ball joint at the same time.
I'm impressed with how much the Rode mic is rejecting background noise in your piece - it's not that noticeable that you're sitting in a room with hard, parallel walls.
Love this! Anyone here ideas where to buy in Europe? Or at least a different kind of brand/setup that’s pretty similar? Been looking for over a year 😅🥲
Caleb thanks for the video setting up a secondary shooting spot. I noticed some wobble. How steady is the rig? I tested many products but not this one and found that some shake to much when you touch the desk for example. What is your opinion?
I have it and I would say it will still wobble depending on how high you set each arm and how far out it extends coupled with how much weight you put on it.
Everything will wobble if you attach it to a desk. That's unavoidable. If you want to avoid the wobble, you can't attach it to a desk. (Unless the desk is a large block of concrete that absolutely won't move when touching. But even then, the wooden desktop on top of a concrete block will move slightly when leaning on it - even if it's bolted down.)
SO, the Professor is finally reducing his caffeine intake and normal service will be resuming. Have enjoyed this mini-series, but have missed the reviews and comparisons. Thanks for all the different set-ups (shot taken).
Hey friend, nice video! I have no idea why but I just searched your page and reverse sorted by oldest video, *How to Get Macro Shots With Any Lens* 10 years ago! So who is _that_ guy and when did you replace him? Lol. Thanks for the great content! 👍
I would LOVE to see a rig like this that could be used for behind and angled down to show in front of you at a desk. Just your hands and items as if you were showing people a bunch of new baseball cards you just got or something similar that does not get in the way that can have video, lighting and mic attachments or least places for them :)
I wonder if it's possible to get the swivel arms only. I already have two monitor arms and don't really want to add more to my desk. However, being able to add a light, camera and microphone would be sweet.
I have one I use alongside a Viozon (the other setup he showed, mine is on wheels). The Ulanzi does wobble like a mofo. Still, the reach and adjustability of it's arms outweighs this if you're not going to be in contact with your desk, causing said wobble. I use the Ulanzi for top-down and lights and it's great for those.
Hi Caleb. I am a techno-phone that needs to learn video recording in order to make beading tutorials. The camera needs to point down at my hands and I need to be able to zoom in and out to get close ups of the needle going in and coming out of small beads. Could you please make some suggestions for me. I have literally no experience except recording with difficulty with my cell phone. I watched so many of your videos I can't remember..Is this the one that wobbles because my work has to be still. Thanks so much for these great videos.
Great info---as in all your videos-- I am going to flat on my back for 4-7 days recovering from a medical procedure..and guess what I'm going to be watching while I'm laid up?? Quick question from this episode-- Do you know of any kits like this that will fit the circumference of a Manfrotto Auto pole?? I found one at a "yard sale" for $15 and want to make good use of it... Thanks for all you do here,,,
if ulanzi design the clamp with 2 position to grip, and the column placed at the center between the grip position, it would be stronger and not woblle i think :)
I have lots of different mounts and small lights from them and they always have discounts, their VL49 RGB lights are great when on sale for 2 for $20 especially. I love my El Gato multi-mount, but if I didn't have that and a nice boom arm already, this would be a nice setup.
Could you do a quick overview on how you process the audio coming from the Rode Video Micro? What are you doing in terms of EQ? I can never get mine to sound that crisp
Hello, I use the NTG as a USB mic into my PC. The issue I am having is that the gain knob has virtually no affect on the sound. Am I missing something? Does the gain knob not work using USB?
your channel is AWESOME!! Let me say that first. One thing I would love to know your views about is an "outdoor Podcast setup'. I think I can follow your advice for inside and get myself a great setup, but for those of us who love talking about the outdoors, specifically lawncare and backyard stuff, what would you suggest? Maybe just a gopro or a cell phone? maybe best light settings or whatever you feel. I rely on your knowledge to help me a lot. :-)
Purchased the Falcon Eyes RX T12 using the link above, something to note for anyone else who chooses this light. The spigot on the back of the frame for me was directly pointing out and wasn't at a right angle as per the video (maybe they've changed the way it's packaged). If you look closely, there's another screw thread on the spigot piece. If you unscrew it with the help of an alan key from the other side, you can switch this to a right angle as per this video which supports the setup better :-)

you could post cupcake recipes. i’d still watch.
No worries man
Do your thing dude, content creators need this!
finally, geezzzzzzzzz
Just in case you were not aware, but ULANZI has used parts of your video for their product page.
How does that Rode Video Micro sound better than my Rode VideoMic Pro?!
That literally sounds as good as a Shure SM7B 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I have bought one recently and highly recommend it!
Great Video!!! very well put together and great Editing! Just what I was looking for!

I have the a7iii and I can't find a good one. What did you end up doing?
I think this is exactly what I've been needing. I do a lot of facedown filming and have a need for a better mic position while filming. This is so helpful!Thank you SO much!

I really like how you ended this with you tucked away in the bottom right corner… The rest was really good too, but it was funny at the end. Cheers!
Dude, when I first saw this, it looked like it was the spitting image of your original design! Ended up buying it for myself, though it hangs from a floating shelf above my desk..
Ulanzi is my favorite budget camera gear brand. I been so happy with their products
He he he…the master of a thousend creative camera configurations! Nice!

That AEK keyboard
😂
I always love seeing your ideas for setups. I get so much inspiration from your videos!
Nice video Caleb - we reviewed this product a while back and we are actually using it for product photography to hold things in the air - it can be pretty useful for that (and then remove the wires in post).
Although they took the notepad from you but you support them how much I love you😄❤
Thank you Caleb for all your awesome videos.
The link of arms for stand ?
This is my set up. It is amazing. So many uses.
Okay, go off! These thumbnails can't be beat!!!

Love your contact and your ideas and you are one of the people who made me know my purpose of life and what I love to do. ❤️
Hey, did you process the audio or its raw?
Definitely raw. Rhode Micros are dope
hareesh bai
@@StudioSS313 *Rode
Very cool and interesting Caleb. The audio from that little Mic. sounds great!
The joined arms like that instead of ball joints between the various arm parts like on Elgato seems very nice if you don't need the articulation that ball joints gives you, and you avoid the weakness of a ball joint at the same time.
Love these desk setup videos - keep em coming pls !
What's the little tiny bracket in the left bottom corner for at 00:33 ? I bought this and have no idea what it's for.
Always a pleasure to see new content from you. Even if it is a other DIY project.
What a fantastic video. Thanks.
I love your build!

Love this! Anyone here ideas where to buy in Europe? Or at least a different kind of brand/setup that’s pretty similar? Been looking for over a year 😅🥲
Love your videos on desktop rigs. Endless ideas 👊🏿
It does look pretty useful for the price! Next up: Doctor Octopus backpack recording setup . ;D
Caleb thanks for the video setting up a secondary shooting spot. I noticed some wobble. How steady is the rig? I tested many products but not this one and found that some shake to much when you touch the desk for example. What is your opinion?
I have it and I would say it will still wobble depending on how high you set each arm and how far out it extends coupled with how much weight you put on it.
too much wobble for me too.. great prize, but as soon as he even thought about touching the table, it wobbled like mad :/
@@getfmlr input mine together more of a hack with different parts no wobble. Even the one from elgato wobbles.
I agree. The setup looks nice and clean, but that wobble is a a no go for me. But still, a great idea for those on a budget!

I have edited myself into movies and TV shows using some of your advice, tips and tricks so thanks!!!
How do you shoot with one light and get this result ?
SO, the Professor is finally reducing his caffeine intake and normal service will be resuming. Have enjoyed this mini-series, but have missed the reviews and comparisons. Thanks for all the different set-ups (shot taken).
Literally perfect for what I want to develop my streaming setup into! Thx 🙏

Ordered 👌 Thanks Caleb 🙏
Thanks for the heads up.
Always something amazing !!

Great video! Love watching your content.
Just what I've been looking for, thank you Caleb! 🙏🙏🙏
That is crazy good sound with that mic
Is there one that goes in the wall or stabilized with a rod going to the floor, maybe?
Caleb can you tell us what type of keypad that is pleas?
Great idea! Im still using your Canon R6. :D
I wonder if it's possible to get the swivel arms only. I already have two monitor arms and don't really want to add more to my desk. However, being able to add a light, camera and microphone would be sweet.
These videos are great!
Also what Vesa mount is that? It seems to be a laptop dock instead of a monitor mount. Thanks Caleb!
Very nice video explaining the basic set up choices! If you would throw in a FEELWORLD or Blackmagic switcher it would be more complete, right?
Fantastic flexibility in a single accessory. Thanks for the review! 👍

FACT and make the video off from it look like Jello
@@IMRROcom Word to your mother.
I like the little computer in the background. Not sure if it's an Apple or a Commodore though...
Hey do you happen to know what the exact name the arms are or where I can purchase them individually
Hi Caleb. I am a techno-phone that needs to learn video recording in order to make beading tutorials. The camera needs to point down at my hands and I need to be able to zoom in and out to get close ups of the needle going in and coming out of small beads.

cool!!! really cool!! and what about that little PENTAX... Which model it is??
Can I use it to point the camera to the desk itself? I need to record things I do on the desk
That's a pretty solid rig for just $100! Mine is a free moving stand and it cost me over $250 to put together.
hey thanks for these guides. What's your opinion on the sony ZV-e10 over the sony a6400?
Great info---as in all your videos-- I am going to flat on my back for 4-7 days recovering from a medical procedure..and guess what I'm going to be watching while I'm laid up?? Quick question from this episode-- Do you know of any kits like this that will fit the circumference of a Manfrotto Auto pole?? I found one at a "yard sale" for $15 and want to make good use of it... Thanks for all you do here,,,
I would like to see you deep dive into professional overhead set up
I have the same camera and mic but my audio never sounds this good. Please How do you do it????
What’s the laptop arm brand model called?
thanks caleb, great video!
This looks fun 🐙
Does this come with the arm to hold the laptop?
if ulanzi design the clamp with 2 position to grip, and the column placed at the center between the grip position, it would be stronger and not woblle i think :)
Hey with the Vesa Arm, what is the mount that the MacBook is sitting on? Does that come with the arm or is it something extra? Thanks for the video!
I have lots of different mounts and small lights from them and they always have discounts, their VL49 RGB lights are great when on sale for 2 for $20 especially. I love my El Gato multi-mount, but if I didn't have that and a nice boom arm already, this would be a nice setup.
Wow that looks like a particular Spiderman villain with all those arms
Could you do a quick overview on how you process the audio coming from the Rode Video Micro? What are you doing in terms of EQ? I can never get mine to sound that crisp
No EQ or any audio changes. Just the microphone plugged into the camera :-)
Love the opening when you look like you are 4 foot tall. Hahaha. Great tips.
Thanks man. Great thing
Can we stick a godox sl 60w on it ? will it support weight
Hello Caleb, did you still use the teleprompter for zoom calls ? to look the dialogue partner in the eye ?
I was literally about to build your previous desk setup. Do you like this one or the other one better?
You are the Man ✊💪
whats the stand name @ 8:45 ?? link o video??
Hi, awesome video as usual. What kind of base is holding the laptop?
Some time ago you had acoustic panels to get rid of the echos. How are you dealing with that in this setup?
Hello, I use the NTG as a USB mic into my PC. The issue I am having is that the gain knob has virtually no affect on the sound. Am I missing something? Does the gain knob not work using USB?
Excellent as always. Probably a little to flimsy for my live streams.
What's the cheapest 2nd hand camera you can buy that is still useful that can be use for work, zoom call or streaming?
Love the stand! Take my $

Is this one better then the viozon?
Inspector Gadget attacks again!
Caleb, what adapter do you use for your VESA arm to attach your laptop? Thank you so much man!
Purchased the Falcon Eyes RX T12 using the link above, something to note for anyone else who chooses this light. The spigot on the back of the frame for me was directly pointing out and wasn't at a right angle as per the video (maybe they've changed the way it's packaged).

Hi, could you please recommend a camera for
this setup?
What a wonderful Video
