I have a ? hopefully u can help w/. So I have the Sonly A6000 & I just bought a 7" monitor to add to my gaming setup. My ? is, what kind of splitter or how could I hook up the Micro HDMI I think It's called from the Cam Link 4K that I use to stream w/ & plug in another Micro HDMI cable to run the monitor? I need some BIG Help here. Hope u can throw something together in your BIG NICE WORKING Brain there 4 me lol. I'm subscribing to your channel & dropping a like. TY 4 This awesome video
@@Joey.Alford , awesome I greatly appreciate u a lot. The only plug adapters I have on this camera is the HDMI & the Multi Charge Adapter. This help means a lot. Several ppl have told me it’s possible but I can’t figure it out
I really love this setup and the simplicity in it.. I'm in the process of organizing my bedroom/ YT studio haha to have a space ready to roll and start filming anytime and this is very helpful.. thank you!
great video, I like that you put all this b-roll and you are showing everything so clearly what you are talking about, even an audio comparison and the smartphone setup.... not many people put that effort into this, you deserve many views.
Looks great! A lot o inspiration behind this! Only one thing I noticed and I scrolled the comments quickly to make sure it wasn't already mentioned. You have some slight banding going on in your footage, I noticed it mainly in the highlights (against your desk). This may be due to the Shutter speed/angle used for your video and the frequency of your lights. Typically a 180 degree shutter (2x shutter speed) is recommended, but sometimes it picks up unwanted waves which Is what I think you're getting. Just some food for thought. Keep up the great work!
really enjoyed this video dude. i have been creating content for around 6 months. Each video is getting better however, the rhode Micro is mounted on top of my camera... going to take your advice for the next video.
you're absolutely right. I've updated the links in the description under the "overhead setup". Thanks for letting me know, here are the goods! Clamp and ballhead: geni.us/z6P6se Overhead Extension Arm: geni.us/AYD1Q3 Ballhead: geni.us/38K7m4 Phone Holder: geni.us/Pdlwo
I wasn't expecting that large of a difference in the microphone placement especially with the efforts you went through with minimizing vocal bounce off the walls! Night and day difference
Yeah dude its crazy. people spend hundreds on expensive mics and then place them on the other side of the world. I'm trying to fix that one vid at a time lmao
@@Joey.Alford I've been agonizing over what mic should I get for my desk setup but turns out I may not have to! I already have a couple of the Rode mics, so I will try those out with your suggestion which should be good for now.
@@danasuechilds these mics are definitely a good value. Of course a more expensive mic will yield better quality but the way you use the mic will have a massive impact too!
And here I was looking to buy another desk mounted poles/arms for my beginner setup when all I needed to do was use some of the extra arms my monitor desk mount has. I didn't know you can screw directly onto it. Your video had the tidbits of information I needed at my beginner setup. Thank you so much.
Smooth set up. After watching different videos on TH-cam about studio set ups; makes me realize that there's not right or wrong way to have a TH-cam studio set up.
That’s actually my MacBook unfortunately lmao. The Godox is definitely a bit noisy but in that clip it’s my laptop beside my mic. I was hoping no one would notice
Great setup! One question: What is the secondary arm you put on the monitor pole? I'm woefully ignorant when it comes to tech. This setup is the best I've found so far...but I can't seem to find that secondary arm (it's probably looking me dead in the face and I just don't know it). Thanks!
The arm I have came off of a laptop/monitor stand combo. It used to support a tray that could hold a MacBook. amzn.to/3a9lkkf But that one is expensive since you don’t need the tray part of it. Instead, linked in the description you’ll see “computer monitor arm” and that’s the one I would recommend for this setup!
@@Joey.Alford Ugh. I should've paid more attention and sought that info out in your description. Thank you for such an excellent response--and not taking me to task. You just gained a subscriber.
Subscribed ! I'm looking to make a spare guestroom into a low profile Podcast and TH-cam production room, and your video is perfect ! Very clean and minimal. I also like that you gave us a low budget version (including the mic, which I already own!) and demonstrate how it sounds and looks. Thank you!
This is a great video, thanks Joey -- love the overhead setup... what I've been trying so far for overhead shots is so shabby! Anyway, long way of saying subscribed!
5:08 This is the guy that feels artificial and just like everyone else. At 5:15 Now this is a guy I would listen to, and trust more as he looks more like us, a normal guy chilling and making youtube videos that are unscripted on the go. Choose your side buddy. It's not about the equipments it's about the content.
The space where you put the Godox is exactly like mine. I'm thinking of getting an LED panel and diffuse it with an umbrella. Great idea with the overhead camera too!
Nice one Joey! This popped up on my recommended. Great setup too XD. I have the same uploading schedule issue as you on my channel. I agree perfectionism is toxic. Great stuff!
If you want to use a Rode Mic or similar with your phone - you’re going to need a trs to trrs adapter - otherwise it’ll look cool without being useful. I didn’t realize this until after I acquired my Rode mic and the adapter for under $10.
Hi Joey, I'm going to use my iPhone to shoot videos. Do you still recommend this same microphone? If so, how do I connect it to my iPhone? Do you have an affiliate link for that:)?
Thanks for sharing this. Don't bash yourself for all the obsession over different lighting setups and such. That testing and tinkering is your learning process, and it will pay off in the long run if you keep doing this stuff. 2 things, if you are open to feedback. 1) Your practical lights are flickering in a really distracting way. You can buy a few of those new Aputure B7Cs. I have one and love it. Or you could tinker with your shutter speed. There are tons of videos about eliminating flicker here on TH-cam. 2) If you have the space you might want to move your softbox slightly to your left. The light is nice and soft, yes, but its also super flat being almost directly in front of you. I hope this helps in some small way.
Hey Pat thanks for the awesome feedback. I have another video about my desk setup where I actually asked for help to fix the flickering so that’s been fixed going forward. But yes I agree I hate it too, I appreciate the input! 2nd the soft box is unfortunately as far to the left as possible given the lack of space between my desk and wall for the light stand 👎🏼 I know typically 45° from the subject is what you’re looking for, unfortunately with the space the way I have it setup now, that isn’t possible. But seriously thanks for this awesome comment! It really means a lot to me when nice folks like you take the time to try and be encouraging and helpful! Take care and enjoy your Friday !
Very helpful. I've watched a couple of these "all in one" setups and many of them have more going on than I personally need or are larger than my closet office allows. This is much better for the space I have. Great vid, thanks.
EXCELLENT video! I like that you gave the perspectives with the mic in different locations and compared budget vs not-so-budget items. And really great idea with the phone as overhead camera. The NEEWER monitor...how does it compare (spec-wise) the popular SmallHD that everyone else has in their expensive setups?
Thanks for the nice comment! As for the monitor, spec wise I couldn’t tell you off hand but for my needs it’s great. I think the smallhd gets way brighter and is higher resolution so for a professional setting it’s probably the way to go. I just need to make sure my camera didn’t miss focus or run out of memory card space lol so because of this it’s perfect!
I'm struggling so much to set up the best studio. I only have a relevant video on my channel, and I want to make a new one, with better audio, and easier to watch. DIY softbox, using the same APUTURE that you got, and I need to see, which lens is better for this space with Canon M50, between: Canon 20mm 2.8 and Canon 18-135 3.5, which is not super sharp, but, it's wide enough for my needs.
Great job Joey! Love the wide angle tip and that overhead mount WORKS. Love it. I did a cooking vid recently and I put my phone on the second level of the cabinet overhead to do it. Subbed. Careful for hitting the desk though! lol
💚💚💚💚 SO GLAD I RAN ACROSS YOUR VIDEO TURNING MY 3rd 🛁 INTO MY. 🎥 SETUP THANK SO MUCH 💚can’t wait to see if the over ARM works for beauty products ...THANKYOU💚
Sound is everything my friend. There have been countless videos I have stopped watching because the sound was crap.. Your room looks great. Neewer has some good stuff. Love your setup.
Hey Joey, nice job showing the iPhone, $60 phone, cheap softbox, and mic at the end for comparison. You help give hope to other people with very little budget! I started there and finally worked up to a 1DX, 3 LEDs, 2 Mics, Arms, C Stands, etc. but that small kit anyone can use to start (phone, small led, mini mic).
Thanks Sean! Yeah I think when you watch these types of videos everyone likes to flaunt their gear, so showing newcomers that you don’t NEED all of it is important to me! That’s a solid setup you’ve got now though, awesome!
Geez I had to pause the video after the mic test about the location. Definitely getting an arm for it and moving it closer. I've thought about it earlier but never thought the VideoMicro (using it already myself) was even capable for such sounds. Wow
Very nice set up! I’ve recently moved to and all-in-one desk mounted set up and it has made a ton of difference. Also, great use of such a small space!
Big difference eh? So I really like the godox specifically because of the soft box and overall brighter output. That said the led panel can be battery powered so I usually use it if I need to be mobile. Different tools for different jobs y’a know
@@Joey.Alford ayeee thanks man! I know alotta people were buying the aperture 120d mkII or even the 300x but that thing is crazy expensive lol. your set up is dope I appreciate you sharing! keep it up man!
Yeah dude super expensive. I think the people at the level where they can make a video on an expensive light like that and make the money back in Adsense immediately are smart. Unfortunately that’s not where I’m at so the godox is good enough for me. Also I don’t even know if I would notice a difference tbh hahaha
Honestly would not have watched you in the cheaper setup at the end. The sound is terrible. Most important thing for every video is lighting and sound. No one will watch without good sound.
I actually sort of agree with you. I used my laptop speakers to edit this video and I didn’t notice any issues. Watched the video on my phone pre-upload and it was good. It wasn’t until I rewatched it with headphones on after a few other comments the other day that I realized it sounds right fucked. Idk why that happened, I must’ve wrecked the audio settings in my editor because the raw clip doesn’t sound bad at all.
Great video, I own a a3000 and have been dealing with over heating issues, do you run into similar issues and what is your work around? Have you considered investing in a new camera and brand?
Thank you! Honestly no I haven’t considered it really. I came from an A6500 which would occasionally overheat. For that camera, opening the flip screen would help cool it down. Now that I shoot on the a7iii I have yet to run into overheating. That said, I live in southern Canada where it doesn’t get awfully hot.. so keep that in mind
I know. Brutal eh? The way the power is setup in my building doesn’t cooperate with my Phillips hue lights. I’ve stopped using them in my videos going forward now...
@@Joey.Alford yeah ran into similar issue filming a music video, theres software that can fix it in post but sometimes you get interesting ghosting that may not be intended. Solid setup none the less my man
I've been exactly thinking about it ! Great video! Always positioning everything is so much friction and you end up giving up and leaving it for later...
That’s exactly it! I annoying had that problem this week when I was trying to film lol. Tried a new space In the kitchen and ended up scraping it for ol-reliable that you saw in this vid haha
Hey @Joey, great video, thanks. Quick question. You know how you had the camera up top (where you were showing the iPods, etc.), is there a way to easily switch from your main Sony camera to the phone while you are shooting, and does the phone need to be plugged into something to switch between devices?
Very clean setup and thank you for sharing! Wondering why you are using a UV lens cover on your camera? (I'm new so pardon my lack of knowledge) Cheers!
Thanks for the comment Spencer. UV filters are one of those controversial things for some reason. I use them for 2 reasons. The 1st so for general protection of my lenses. I occasionally film action content (atv-ing, mountain biking etc) and having rocks or mud fly at my camera is sketchy. The filter helps ease my mind. The 2nd reason is specific to my 16-35 lens and it’s that the threads on the end are a bit worn so trying to screw/unscrew ND filters (for outdoor filming) is difficult. Because the UV filter has threads on it I can attach the ND to it directly. Hope this clears things up a bit! Believe it or not I’m still “new” when it comes to a lot of things so don’t be shy to ask!
Thanks for the tips! I ended up buying the micro Rode mic and the Smallrig arm. The only issue I have is connecting the Rode mic to the Smallrig arm. The screw is too small to fit on the Rode mic holder. Wondering if you ran into this same issue and what did you do to fix it? I purchased the items directly from your links.
Oh hey Elliot! I actually feel terrible I didn’t even remember that I used an adapter screw with the mic. The mic has a 3/8 screw and the arm is 1/4. So sorry I’ve had that adapter in there for years and completely forgot about it. www.amazon.com/dp/B019RQX5QS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_XCZ84192JS1H0QGYFDF4

What is that adjustable arm you used for holding your microphone in place and how long is it? I'm looking for a longer arm and yours look good.
It’s a Smallrig friction arm. The one I’ve got is the longest they sell but you can try other companies to see if they sell longer friction arms!
The overhead extension arm link is incorrect. Could you please update the link or share it here. Thank you.
you're absolutely right. I've updated the links in the description under the "overhead setup". Thanks for letting me know, here are the goods!

Yeah check out the other video on my channel about it. It’s Called all in one TH-cam setup!
What is that black thing in the top right corner?
*How'd you get the Soft Box over the Small Light?*
I literally placed it on top lol. No tape, bracket or Velcro. I draped it over it and gravity did the rest hahaha
the phone footage is definitely not as good lol
Can i know the desk measurements?
A very awesome minimalistic setup 👍
wild how a slight move of the mic makes that huge of a difference!! How would you compare the godox light vs the led panel light?

Great video man ! I`ll like to know which stand do you use for the Godox SL60W
Thanks! The classic Neewer cheap stand
Great video, I own a a3000 and have been dealing with over heating issues, do you run into similar issues and what is your work around? Have you considered investing in a new camera and brand?
Thank you! Honestly no I haven’t considered it really. I came from an A6500 which would occasionally overheat. For that camera, opening the flip screen would help cool it down. Now that I shoot on the a7iii I have yet to run into overheating. That said, I live in southern Canada where it doesn’t get awfully hot.. so keep that in mind
This is a really nice idea. Having one studio for all. :)
Very nice setup, I love that you included the budget version, very helpful.
Happy you like it! Yeah I want people to know you definitely don’t need all this stuff
sick setup, only issue is the banding
I know. Brutal eh? The way the power is setup in my building doesn’t cooperate with my Phillips hue lights. I’ve stopped using them in my videos going forward now...
@@Joey.Alford yeah ran into similar issue filming a music video, theres software that can fix it in post but sometimes you get interesting ghosting that may not be intended. Solid setup none the less my man
Would that fit under a loft bed?
I like your setup clean and functional..
Thanks so much!
Nice setup I always wondered how people setup their space very informative so thank you . all the best

Very detailed and straightforward 👌 I love the comparisons for changing different aspects in the setup.
Thanks bro! I was hoping the comparisons would help sell the points so I’m stoked that you liked 😎
@@Joey.Alford the mic location comparison was like night and day and I'm watching on mobile
Ok sick! Happy that the results translated through mobile too

Thanks Brandon! I’m happy you liked it 👍🏼
Great job mate ! Keep it up.
I've been exactly thinking about it ! Great video! Always positioning everything is so much friction and you end up giving up and leaving it for later...
That’s exactly it! I annoying had that problem this week when I was trying to film lol. Tried a new space In the kitchen and ended up scraping it for ol-reliable that you saw in this vid haha

@@Joey.Alford visualization is so powerful. Thanks for the vid. I'm buying parts to make that overhead set up right now!
@@bill16126 that’s it! And that’s awesome best of luck!
Hey @Joey, great video, thanks. Quick question. You know how you had the camera up top (where you were showing the iPods, etc.), is there a way to easily switch from your main Sony camera to the phone while you are shooting, and does the phone need to be plugged into something to switch between devices?
Hey! I just recorded on both and then switch between cameras in editing. Not sure how you would switch back and forth in real time. Sorry
@@Joey.Alford thanks for the reply, and no problem. Keep up the great work.
nice i am just getting started on youtube thank you for the video.
Hey that’s great! Good luck!!
Very clean setup and thank you for sharing! Wondering why you are using a UV lens cover on your camera? (I'm new so pardon my lack of knowledge) Cheers!
Thanks for the comment Spencer. UV filters are one of those controversial things for some reason. I use them for 2 reasons.
The 1st so for general protection of my lenses. I occasionally film action content (atv-ing, mountain biking etc) and having rocks or mud fly at my camera is sketchy. The filter helps ease my mind.
The 2nd reason is specific to my 16-35 lens and it’s that the threads on the end are a bit worn so trying to screw/unscrew ND filters (for outdoor filming) is difficult. Because the UV filter has threads on it I can attach the ND to it directly.
Hope this clears things up a bit! Believe it or not I’m still “new” when it comes to a lot of things so don’t be shy to ask!
@@Joey.Alford Thank you so much for the quick reply and the detailed response!
Good stuff
Thanks for the tips! I ended up buying the micro Rode mic and the Smallrig arm. The only issue I have is connecting the Rode mic to the Smallrig arm. The screw is too small to fit on the Rode mic holder. Wondering if you ran into this same issue and what did you do to fix it? I purchased the items directly from your links.
Oh hey Elliot! I actually feel terrible I didn’t even remember that I used an adapter screw with the mic. The mic has a 3/8 screw and the arm is 1/4. So sorry I’ve had that adapter in there for years and completely forgot about it. www.amazon.com/dp/B019RQX5QS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_XCZ84192JS1H0QGYFDF4
