Never seen a video this good for talking head setup. Very clear and precise. Thank you. ( A combo of talking head and overhead at the same time will be useful as well)
Thank you for your feedback. I am happy to help. I will think about this and add it on my list. Talking head plus overhead. Great subject 😁 What do you plan to shoot? Thank you!

You are amazing dude! I am not kidding. i have watched a lot of channels. I have great equipment and still didn't record anything yet. I am ready now boss. Thank you!!!!!!
HeHe, My pleasure! Thank you. For a simple talking head video, no, no 120 fps or 10 bits. If we talk about client work, after-movies, yes, but for something. like this 120 fps? Why? :))
@@GabrielVIP you see my theory is TH-camers treat gear as what the want , not what you need . I believe that what make average consumer feels like he'll be lift behind if he didn't get the latest and greatest tech , you follow me?
@Ahmad.3rabi That’s 100% true! But many creators don’t understand gear and say: I want my image to look like X creator or Y creator, but they don’t understand that a specific image is created with specific gear, lights etc... For 90% of social media content, a ZV E10, 25, 30 fps, 8 bits and a decent lens is more than perfect :)
Hey! Thank you! Glad you like it. This is one way to do it. I will present in the future other ways. The most important thing is to be confortable for you and to make your job easier :)

@@GabrielVIP thank you for the reply! Would the AT875R also be good for a closer up mic as well? Was thinking between the rode podmic but want the option to have it outside of the shot for certain videos, which the podmic wouldn't really be suitable for
@Param-Singh If you want the mic outside the shot, AT875R is perfect. I have that mic and I love it. Jus buy a boom arm or something to have the right position :)
Menhhh this video was all I wanted! I'm saving up to get this camera and I need all the education possible for it to be my baby and your channel was God sent thanks. I Subscribed! 🫂
Thank you so much. Glad you like it! I work roght now on many other informative videos, all of them from my day by day experience :) Thank you for your feedback 🤗
Glad you like it. It's super important to realise how big is the improvement of a video with great audio and that time is really worth it. Thank you 🙋🏻♂️🤗
I just found you... I have a growing channel and your videos are very helpful. Just ordered the Sigma 1.4 lens... do you have a specific video for setting up my ZVE10 with this lens? I mainly use for talking head TH-cam content. Thanks again.
Loved the video. I have following already in my gears. Sony ZV E10 Sigma f1.4 16 mm Elgato Camlink Amaran 100 D 2 cheap panel lights Godox QR70 Softbox 2 RGB lights GVSII2 Blue Yeti mic. i think above is good enough as per the gears you have listed but, my video doesn't look anywhere close to yours. Need to learn a lot from YOU.
Hey! Nice setup. With these equipments you can do great videos. If you have The ZV-E10 with Sigma 16mm youjust need to learn how to set the lights and the camera. Practice every day, experiment, watch tutorials and you will have the best image :) Thank you for your comment and feedback :)
@@GabrielVIP Thanks for your reply. It really makes a difference. Which city are you based out? Do you help people set up their home studios? I have tried multiple times but I guess the light and camera settings are not my thing. Would love to utilize your services.
1/ What cable do I need to go from the Z0om to the camera? (You show it at 6:34 but don't list it.)? In a desktop setup this needs to be a longer cable than what you show. 2/ Do I maximize the gain on the Z0om or on the camera, to minimize noise? Thank you, again and again, for this wonderful video, I keep going back to it.
Hey. The cable is a classic 3.5mm stereo jack to 3.5mm stereo jack. You can find this super easy in electronic stores or amazon. The best thing to do is lower the preamps of the camera as much as possible and set the level from the ZOOM. Zoom will send a clean signal to camera and if the camera preamp is lower, the noise will be super low. Thank you!
thanks for this video alot 😁 but i got the a6700 and it works perfectly and i got 2 lenses the sony 11mm f1.8 and the tamron 17-70mm f2.8 what lens would you use for talking head?
Hey! For talking head videos, I will choose the 17mm. 11mm is too wide for my taste, but 17mm it's perfect. But it's just a personal preference. If you like how 11mm looks, use it! There's no rule :)
Hey! Thank you :) Glad you like it. What fluffy stuff? The black foam from my old studio? I don't use acoustic foam anymore... it doesn't do to much :)) It's a classic acoustic foam from amazon. About that are you interested? Thank you!
The only photo editing software I use is Photoshop. I have used it for years and it’s the only one I can say something about. If you learn this one you don’t need anything else :)
@@GabrielVIP actually I'm a girl 😅. And I am gonna buy anything you said, I was disappointed because I thought I have to spend thousands of dollars to have such a setup. Thank you again 🔥
Oooh, sorry for that 😁 Don’t buy just because I show something. See if it’s perfect for your needs first, but yes, you don’t need thousands of dollars. You can do super content with a cheaper setup :)
Thanks for the great video! Learned a ton. Don’t you think that 16mm is a little on the lower side for the lens? Because wider angles seem to be super popular these days. I am wondering whether you have a recommendation for something slightly wider:)
Hey. Glad you like it. In my opinion 16mm is great for small rooms. You have a wide enough angle and if you want you can crop a little bit and achieve a more tighter angle. Or you can choose Sigma 30mm with 1.4 if you want something else. And if you want wider… with 1.4 Idon’t really know but I think you can find something from Viltrox. Thank You!
Thanks to you, my new Sony ZV E10 has arrived, along with the Sigma 16mm lens - they're a perfect combo! Dumb question: How do I turn off (what I'm calling) the graphics overlay from the flip out monitor? It's appearing in my video feed. Any direction would be appreciated
Hey! Glad you like your new setup. Next week I will upload a new video with some advanced settings for ZV-E10. It will be. perfect for you :D Until then: Press the menu button, Go. in menu nr.5 (Setup, that one with a bag icon), Go on page nr 2, and HDMI Settings. There you will find HDMI Info Display - Turn it OFF! That's it :)
What mode are you recording in please? Last video I made I look a bit grey, this was with the Sony ZV-E10 with kit lens, and 2 soft box lights (I will change to your recommended light and lens - I don't want the spill on the back), recorded in Slog3. This was the video: th-cam.com/video/ZuCfqJzgHBo/w-d-xo.html
I records sometimes S-log 3 but just for talking head videos with ZV-E10 I don't! S-log 3 need to be converted at the editing part. If you don't know color grading you will just overcomplicate your process and if you don't know exactly what to do with your S-log3 your videos will look "grey" :)) Check this video: th-cam.com/video/5nB4WF6EhqA/w-d-xo.html You will learn step by step all my settings and how to set your ZV-E10 :)
Great video Gabriel, thank you. Do you prefer the Audio Technica shotgun mic over the Sony shotgun mic? I'm wondering if using the Sony shotgun mic, you wouldn't need the Zoom recorder? Maybe I'm wrong... Thoughts?
Hey! What model of Sony shotgun? I prefer the XLR connection over 3.5mm jack or others. And it depends on the situation. For talking head viddos I like XLR connection. If you walk on the street it's hard to use one. I only shoot in the studio so 99% of the time I use mics with XLR connection.
You will get super quality. Practice the right settings and light and you are going to love how it looks. What do you think about 32 bits float? I am shure you have a good sound sistem if you are a musician:)
@@GabrielVIP I haven't tried 32 bit float, all of my previous audio interfaces were 24 bits, but personally I record my guitar connected directly to my interface so I don't actually need to upgrade. But I've seen some tests and shurely it's a really huge improvement, not in terms of quality but in versatility for content creation
Great info! As I research equipment but also like portability what are your thoughts on the Rode wireless Pro which is a wireless system that also has 32 Bit float..?
Hey bro. Thank you! I have a full dedicated video abou Rode Wireless PRO. Super good system. Different than shotgun XLR mic, but good and powerfull for what it ment to be. I have it and I like it!
@@GabrielVIP I did see that video too! So if you were going to buy 1 mic for talking head videos today would you still buy a shotgun mic or the Wireless pro?
@jeremyferguson9292 It really depends about the space. For talking head I prefer a studio mic if you can have a mic in the frame. If not, a shotgun mic will be my choise and after, a lavalier like wireless pro. So: 1. XLR Studio mic, 2. XLR Shotgun, 3. Lavalier
@@GabrielVIP thanks for the reply. Do you still need to record on a software like garage band? Sorry for the double question. Appreciate the advice. I have done over a 1k vidoes on TikTok but audio still a growth area for me.
That's a great lens. I used it and it's great. But in a small space most of the time you need a wider not a tighter lens. I think you don't want to show so much of the room. And for that is ok. You can go with that lens. It's great.
Thank you so much for your response. My camera arrives today, and the 16mm lens arrives tomorrow. Maybe I’ll order the 30mm and test both. Btw, your channel has been the most helpful for me with understanding set up!!🎉
Hey Gabriel, New subscriber here. Thanks for the video. I'm in the process of revamping my studio to do primarily talking head videos and is looking for the best set up. Your video was very useful. I got some questions if you got time to answer. 1. Which camera do you recommend for continuous 4K recording for more than 30 mins? I use a Sony Alpha 6500 and it overheats in about 15 mins or so. 2. Which lens do you recommend for a good depth of field? Is the G master prime lens 24mm good enough or an overkill? 3. The Zoom recorder looks amazing. Can you list down the accessories I'll need for two mics, directly plugged to Zoom and whatever it takes to move the audio to PC/Mac? 4. What lighting set up do you recommend? Along with the background lights (RGB?) 5. Do you recommend recording directly to PC/Mac or the SD card? I find using the SD card cumbersome - moving it all the time causes some wear and tear. Trying to avoid it. Thanks a ton. Will credit this video once the set up goes live.
Hey bro! Thank you! It's all about the budget :)) 1. I think you can do it with a6700 (amzn.to/3Zr0AKv), but If you want the best when it comes to overheating, use this one: amzn.to/46adQ8z 2. G master is good but expensive. Just for a talking head I will go with sigma 16mm f1.4 (amzn.to/3PekIea) or 30mm. f.1.4. (amzn.to/3EZlK9n) 3. If you have the recorder and two mics, all you need are two cables and mic arms or stands but here you need to choose according to your needs. Also you need a micro sd card and A micro SD card reader to plug the card in the computer. (this one is good: amzn.to/3PirFeo) 4. I use these lights for over 4 years: (amzn.to/3PirFeo), and I am super happy with them. How many... it depends to your space. And for RGB, I use Sirui Lights: amzn.to/3PGPopG 5. I record on the SD and download the files with a card reader. I don't have a problem to plus the. card to the PC, but if you want to record directly in the PC... is ok. Is the same thing. Just be sure to set things right and record in 32 bits float. On the card it records true 32 bits, on PC, you need to set the software to record in 32 bits float. I hope this will help you :)
Thank you so much bro! Can you send the lights link again pls? Think you mis-pasted the SD link. I'm getting the three arm mount, the Sigma 16mm lens and the 6700. FX30 looks amazing but might be an overkill? Thank you so much. I'll give you a shout out when this is all set up hopefully.
Hey man. Thank you! I will add this on my list. Tou can see the distance on my video about how to choose your lens for talking head videos: The Only Lens You Need For TH-cam Videos! th-cam.com/video/El7w_STV_RY/w-d-xo.html Thank you and I will keep in mind this topic 🤗
I am working to build a channel and would like to use some existing gear if I could. I have a Canon 50mm prime lense, and I could easily buy a Canon 5D MarkII full frame body for $400. I have an AudioTechnica AT4040 studio condenser mic and a LED panel that only needs a soft box yet. Will a 50mm prime lense be a good setup for screen recording tutorial videos and talking head or should I look for a different camera? I want a permanent setup in my office so Incan sit down and hit record.
Hey! 50mm is great but you will need to have a big distance between you and the camera. Watch this video to see the distances: th-cam.com/video/eV5zeYnmFN4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LNorPfyIf2ErRO7T
@@GabrielVIP thanks so much, that's what I'm finding as well. I think I need my camera directly behind my monitor on my desk with the space I have, so I will need a different lense
Loving your videos, great job! Do I take it that the recommendation of 32bit float has been superseded by your recommendation to use Rodecaster Duo? Also, have you tried the Vocaster or StreamerX?
Hey! Thank you :) Glad you like it! No! I don't recommend Rodecaster over F3 and 32-bit float. The recommendation of Rodecaster is just if you need many channels and complex control for streaming. For that… it’s almost the only solution like on a radio station. But if you just record, the F3 it’s my first choice. I didn't tested the Vocaster and streamer Thank you :)
@@GabrielVIP thanks for the clarification. I plan on doing recorded videos but also use my setup for live video calls. In a video you seemed to really appreciate the rodecaster duo to improve live audio. Does your recommendation change based on this purpose? Sorry should have stayed my use case to start with. I have no use for the push pads and sound effects. Thanks
If you want just a microphone you can do it with a normal audio interface, but if you want more control, for live, yes! Rodecaster is the best choice. If you have it you can do recorded videos and also super live and streams etc. You will not have problems with Rodecaster for video creation. Recorded or live. (For recorded videos I prefer the F3 because it's small, compact and easy to use, but if you plan to do live, rodecaster will be perfect)
Thanks so much for your time. I wasn't trying to push for the rodecaster, I'd appreciate a smaller unit in fact, but the zoom isn't that cheap so would rather future proof my setup and spend a bit more now. Thanks again
@bsh3p Yeah! If you shoot indoor and want to do recorded videos and streams, Rodecaster DUO will be a better fit :) Next week I will release a video about the F3 for talking head creators but for live and streams Rodecaster will be better. PS: if you buy it from Amazon in the US and click ok my link it will be much appreciated 😁: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQLJYSBX/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_FSGCNN0TCPBDG224H91G?linkCode=ml2&tag=smartmediacre-20) Thank you!
Gabe, thanks for the vid. I do religious and spirituality talking head vids. I love the look and feel your vid. What camera settings are you using. Can you assist me with this? Thx
Do you record in SLOG and then color grade after or do you record on a different picture profile? I was told to record in SLOG but the raw video looks extremely flat and bland. The colors in your videos are extremely vibrant and nice to look at!
Hey. With ZV-E10 NO! I don’t use S-log3. For a talking head video you don’t need that. You will just overcomplicate things with almost 0 results. Record with your picture profile turned off. No picture profile. S-Log3 requires conversion, color grading, experience in exposing it correctly and other things. Just for a talking head video where you have a controlled light and don’t need a ton of dynamic range is useless. Check this video where I show you all my settings step by step: th-cam.com/video/5nB4WF6EhqA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sF2XMzDBi8HDnBjS
You missed surrounding light's or background view. But man your contents was really informative as well as state to the point I like it.thanks for video subscribed also this video was looks very clean and the environment light's awesome.
Thank you! Glad you like it. I didn’t talk about that because it’s to much for a beginner for the start. You can do super content withowt RGB lights on the back and a special backgroud. Yes, it’s nice to have but not mandatory. I will talk in another video about this topic :) Thank you 🤗🙋🏻♂️
Hi, in Davinci. I’m not able to sync video and audio. When I select “auto align clips”, the options are grayed out and clickable. When I click “auto align clips”, nothing happens. My audio clip doesn’t sync with my video clip. What do I do?
Hey. You should right click when you select the video with your internal recorded audio and your external recorded audio, right click, go to auto align clip, and choose based on waveform. But those can be grey if you don't have the internal audio. That's important as a reference.
@@GabrielVIP I was in the process of researching a talking head set-up and had so many questions, do I want this or that and you come along and answer all my questions in a very good and straight forward video 🙂
Hey! If you set the zebra at 70, it’s not overexposed. If you set it to 100 will indicate overexposed. It really depends how you set it :) At 70 is perfect for skin.
Hey. Yeah, all those things are expensive but, when I talk about budget friendly and a killer setup, I choose whats super good, because it's a killer setup, but still the most affordable ones for that level of quality. If I will just make a budget setup.... it's not gonna be a setup with a high quality, or as high as this one. I will try to make more setups, and some of them with decent quality but more affordable. Thank you for your feedback :)
Please advise the camera for 2025! If you chose a camera for such a video like this - and only, neither photos, nor shooting from the hands of anything else, only a talking head, an excellent picture with a blurry background and the possibility of long -term recording - podcasts, streams, what do you need to take?
Hey! If you want to walk and talk, to shoot while moving, I recommend the ZV-E10 MK II. If you shoot only from a tripod, go with the ZV-E10. But for a blurry background, you need a fast lens like Sigma 16mm f1.4.
Hello. Yes, I deleted all my shorts. I made shorts in december 2023. But I don’t like how it works. I had a ton of views but only kids. My channel on long form have an audice over 25 years old, and this crazy algorithm showed my shorts just to kids even if I had the same topics, on the same serious style. So… I prefer to shut down my shorts production.
Good video but is it just me or did it feel like the video just ended out of nowhere? He mentions to go check another video for vlogging and then boom it's over. No outro, no recap, just ends. It caught me off guard and now it is all I am thinking about as opposed to the actual content in the video itself.
Hey! Thank you for your fredback. This is my style and a good style for my videos :) I give value on the entire video, I said my recommendations and at the end, yes, I encouraged my audience to check another video because if you want to learn content creation you need much more. I dont do recaps and outros because it will just hurt my videos retention and my videos will never be promoted by the algorithm. You said It’s a good video and I appreciate that, thank you! But if I don’t have a good retention the algorithm will never promote my video and someone like you will never discover it. And, why should I do recaps when you can allways come back and check if you forgot something? And is more important to show the next important video to watch then to see me how I say: Have a great day, thank you, bye bye :)) Thank you for your feedback man 🙋🏻♂️
Because when you start an outro, like "ok guys thanks for watching", then people will click off and not see his next recommended video. So he does it abruptly to catch you off guard
The lack of bass has nothing to do with the software. I cut the bass because my room has huge reverb on low frequencies so I need to cut the low frequencies down.

Happy to help and glad you like it :)
Great video Gabriel, I love the ZVE10 camera !
Thank you! Glad you like it 😁 You have great videos. You film them with ZV-E10?
Yep all my latest videos are filmed with the ZVE10@@GabrielVIP
I just watched the best video about this topic.Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much.
Loved your live demo of the sound syncing 😉
Glad you like it. It's super important to realise how big is the improvement of a video with great audio and that time is really worth it. Thank you 🙋🏻♂️🤗
thank you so much!
Glad you like it! Happy to help 🤗
Great info
Glad you think so! Thank you!
I just found you... I have a growing channel and your videos are very helpful. Just ordered the Sigma 1.4 lens... do you have a specific video for setting up my ZVE10 with this lens? I mainly use for talking head TH-cam content. Thanks again.
Hey! Great setup :)
I have!
Here it is: Top ZV E10 Video Settings (Create Jaw-Dropping Videos Easily)

Loved the video.
I have following already in my gears.
Sony ZV E10
Sigma f1.4 16 mm
Elgato Camlink
Amaran 100 D
2 cheap panel lights
Godox QR70 Softbox
2 RGB lights GVSII2
Blue Yeti mic.
i think above is good enough as per the gears you have listed but, my video doesn't look anywhere close to yours. Need to learn a lot from YOU.
Hey! Nice setup. With these equipments you can do great videos. If you have The ZV-E10 with Sigma 16mm youjust need to learn how to set the lights and the camera. Practice every day, experiment, watch tutorials and you will have the best image :) Thank you for your comment and feedback :)
@@GabrielVIP Thanks for your reply. It really makes a difference. Which city are you based out?
Do you help people set up their home studios? I have tried multiple times but I guess the light and camera settings are not my thing.
Would love to utilize your services.
@datacense I am from Bucharest, Romania :) We can try something online :))
Any post editing?
Hey! Post editing? Do you want something about strategy? I am not 100% sure how to help :D
1/ What cable do I need to go from the Z0om to the camera? (You show it at 6:34 but don't list it.)? In a desktop setup this needs to be a longer cable than what you show. 2/ Do I maximize the gain on the Z0om or on the camera, to minimize noise? Thank you, again and again, for this wonderful video, I keep going back to it.
Hey. The cable is a classic 3.5mm stereo jack to 3.5mm stereo jack. You can find this super easy in electronic stores or amazon. The best thing to do is lower the preamps of the camera as much as possible and set the level from the ZOOM. Zoom will send a clean signal to camera and if the camera preamp is lower, the noise will be super low. Thank you!
thanks for this video alot 😁 but i got the a6700 and it works perfectly and i got 2 lenses the sony 11mm f1.8 and the tamron 17-70mm f2.8 what lens would you use for talking head?
Hey! For talking head videos, I will choose the 17mm. 11mm is too wide for my taste, but 17mm it's perfect.
But it's just a personal preference. If you like how 11mm looks, use it! There's no rule :)
You just got a new subscriber :) Keep up the good work :)
Thank you. Glad you like it 😁
This video is awesome. Is t missing more info around the fluffy stuff on the walls? Lol
Hey! Thank you :) Glad you like it. What fluffy stuff? The black foam from my old studio? I don't use acoustic foam anymore... it doesn't do to much :)) It's a classic acoustic foam from amazon. About that are you interested?
Thank you!
What photo editing software do u reccomend
The only photo editing software I use is Photoshop. I have used it for years and it’s the only one I can say something about. If you learn this one you don’t need anything else :)
Nice!
Glad you like it! Thanks 🤗
Great tutorial.. thanks a lot❤
Glad it was helpful! 🤗
Hi Gabriel, do I need the Zoom F3 Field Recorder if I plan to buy the Rodecaster DUO? Thanks for your videos 👍
Hey! No! Only if you want to record outdoors :)
The forecaster DUO is perfect for home studio use :)
Such a helpful video.
Thank 🤩
Hey Bro! Glad you like it 🙋🏻♂️ Thank you!
@@GabrielVIP actually I'm a girl 😅.
And I am gonna buy anything you said, I was disappointed because I thought I have to spend thousands of dollars to have such a setup. Thank you again 🔥
Oooh, sorry for that 😁 Don’t buy just because I show something. See if it’s perfect for your needs first, but yes, you don’t need thousands of dollars. You can do super content with a cheaper setup :)
@@GabrielVIP yes, but what you said is really perfect for me, I'm a teacher and I want to record some head talk videos for my students. 🙋♀️
Super cool :) Yeah! this setup is great. I will release today a new video, tutorial, for this sound setup. How to use it, step by step :)
What do you think? Is this a Killer Talking Head Setup? What do you use?
Hello Gabriel thx for your video can we sink the audio in FCP like you did in 29sec if yes please let me know
Hey. Thank you! I really don’t have an answer because I don't use FCP. But for sure it is a way to sync it. Thank you!
Thanks for the great video! Learned a ton.
Don’t you think that 16mm is a little on the lower side for the lens? Because wider angles seem to be super popular these days.
I am wondering whether you have a recommendation for something slightly wider:)
Hey. Glad you like it. In my opinion 16mm is great for small rooms. You have a wide enough angle and if you want you can crop a little bit and achieve a more tighter angle. Or you can choose Sigma 30mm with 1.4 if you want something else. And if you want wider… with 1.4 Idon’t really know but I think you can find something from Viltrox. Thank You!
Thanks to you, my new Sony ZV E10 has arrived, along with the Sigma 16mm lens - they're a perfect combo! Dumb question: How do I turn off (what I'm calling) the graphics overlay from the flip out monitor? It's appearing in my video feed. Any direction would be appreciated
Hey! Glad you like your new setup. Next week I will upload a new video with some advanced settings for ZV-E10. It will be. perfect for you :D
Until then: Press the menu button, Go. in menu nr.5 (Setup, that one with a bag icon), Go on page nr 2, and HDMI Settings. There you will find HDMI Info Display - Turn it OFF!
That's it :)
Thank you soooooo much! I NEVER would have figured that out on my own, lol. Looking forward to the next video!
thanks man
Glad you like it! Happy to help 🤗
@@GabrielVIP I would have bought it through your affiliate links but I am in india🥲 so it won't work
This video is great! Thank you so much!
Glad you like it. Thank you for your support 🙋🏻♂️
Great video, thank you! What softbox are you using please? Also what is your view on recording SLog3 on the ZV-E10?
What mode are you recording in please? Last video I made I look a bit grey, this was with the Sony ZV-E10 with kit lens, and 2 soft box lights (I will change to your recommended light and lens - I don't want the spill on the back), recorded in Slog3. This was the video: th-cam.com/video/ZuCfqJzgHBo/w-d-xo.html
Hey. I recommend you this softbox: amzn.to/4aKgvZv
I records sometimes S-log 3 but just for talking head videos with ZV-E10 I don't! S-log 3 need to be converted at the editing part. If you don't know color grading you will just overcomplicate your process and if you don't know exactly what to do with your S-log3 your videos will look "grey" :)) Check this video: th-cam.com/video/5nB4WF6EhqA/w-d-xo.html You will learn step by step all my settings and how to set your ZV-E10 :)
@@GabrielVIP thank you so much for coming back so quickly, you are a great guy! Really appreciate your support
thanks bro i like your video
Thank you! Glad you like it 😁
5:59 what editing software is it?
DaVinci Resolve :)
Great video Gabriel, thank you. Do you prefer the Audio Technica shotgun mic over the Sony shotgun mic? I'm wondering if using the Sony shotgun mic, you wouldn't need the Zoom recorder? Maybe I'm wrong... Thoughts?
Hey! What model of Sony shotgun? I prefer the XLR connection over 3.5mm jack or others. And it depends on the situation. For talking head viddos I like XLR connection. If you walk on the street it's hard to use one. I only shoot in the studio so 99% of the time I use mics with XLR connection.
thanks bro, reply
My pleasure!
I'm going for the same camera and lenses to shoot my guitar playthroughs, trying to get a better quality than my cheap phone haha
You will get super quality. Practice the right settings and light and you are going to love how it looks. What do you think about 32 bits float? I am shure you have a good sound sistem if you are a musician:)
@@GabrielVIP I haven't tried 32 bit float, all of my previous audio interfaces were 24 bits, but personally I record my guitar connected directly to my interface so I don't actually need to upgrade. But I've seen some tests and shurely it's a really huge improvement, not in terms of quality but in versatility for content creation
yo thanks for the tip on syncing audio
Hey! Happy to help. Do you record audio separately? Most of the time looks hard to sync it but is super fast and easy :)
@@GabrielVIP sometimes i do but I have stayed away from it for that reason! will definitely look to recording separately more often now!
@dyltheyoung4883 I understand. The quality will be higher if you record separately. Thank you 🙋🏻♂️
Can this interface support an sm7b Without A cloudlifter?
The Zoom F3? Yes! You can use it without a cloudlifter.
Great info! As I research equipment but also like portability what are your thoughts on the Rode wireless Pro which is a wireless system that also has 32 Bit float..?
Hey bro. Thank you! I have a full dedicated video abou Rode Wireless PRO. Super good system. Different than shotgun XLR mic, but good and powerfull for what it ment to be. I have it and I like it!
@@GabrielVIP I did see that video too! So if you were going to buy 1 mic for talking head videos today would you still buy a shotgun mic or the Wireless pro?
@jeremyferguson9292 It really depends about the space. For talking head I prefer a studio mic if you can have a mic in the frame. If not, a shotgun mic will be my choise and after, a lavalier like wireless pro. So: 1. XLR Studio mic, 2. XLR Shotgun, 3. Lavalier
What mic are you using in this video?
Hello. At875r :) I have two of them :)
Great video. Would the sound recorder be good w/ the Shure SMB7? Does this replace all the other junk like the cloud lifter and elgato?
Hello. If you want to record the SM7B directly in to Zoom F3 that will work perfectly. You don't need a cloud lifter for it.
@@GabrielVIP thanks for the reply. Do you still need to record on a software like garage band? Sorry for the double question. Appreciate the advice. I have done over a 1k vidoes on TikTok but audio still a growth area for me.
Great video mate! I will take your suggestions to improve my channel!
Hey. Glad you like it! Good luck with your setup 😁
What are your thoughts on Sigma 30mm F1.4 . FWIW, I prefer a less wide field of view because of my smaller space
That's a great lens. I used it and it's great. But in a small space most of the time you need a wider not a tighter lens. I think you don't want to show so much of the room. And for that is ok. You can go with that lens. It's great.
Thank you so much for your response. My camera arrives today, and the 16mm lens arrives tomorrow. Maybe I’ll order the 30mm and test both. Btw, your channel has been the most helpful for me with understanding set up!!🎉
Glad you like it and congrats for your new setup :) I wait to see some videos from you :D
Hey Gabriel,
New subscriber here. Thanks for the video. I'm in the process of revamping my studio to do primarily talking head videos and is looking for the best set up. Your video was very useful. I got some questions if you got time to answer.
1. Which camera do you recommend for continuous 4K recording for more than 30 mins? I use a Sony Alpha 6500 and it overheats in about 15 mins or so.
2. Which lens do you recommend for a good depth of field? Is the G master prime lens 24mm good enough or an overkill?
3. The Zoom recorder looks amazing. Can you list down the accessories I'll need for two mics, directly plugged to Zoom and whatever it takes to move the audio to PC/Mac?
4. What lighting set up do you recommend? Along with the background lights (RGB?)
5. Do you recommend recording directly to PC/Mac or the SD card? I find using the SD card cumbersome - moving it all the time causes some wear and tear. Trying to avoid it.
Thanks a ton. Will credit this video once the set up goes live.
Hey bro! Thank you! It's all about the budget :))
1. I think you can do it with a6700 (amzn.to/3Zr0AKv), but If you want the best when it comes to overheating, use this one: amzn.to/46adQ8z
2. G master is good but expensive. Just for a talking head I will go with sigma 16mm f1.4 (amzn.to/3PekIea) or 30mm. f.1.4. (amzn.to/3EZlK9n)
3. If you have the recorder and two mics, all you need are two cables and mic arms or stands but here you need to choose according to your needs. Also you need a micro sd card and A micro SD card reader to plug the card in the computer. (this one is good: amzn.to/3PirFeo)
4. I use these lights for over 4 years: (amzn.to/3PirFeo), and I am super happy with them. How many... it depends to your space. And for RGB, I use Sirui Lights: amzn.to/3PGPopG
5. I record on the SD and download the files with a card reader. I don't have a problem to plus the. card to the PC, but if you want to record directly in the PC... is ok. Is the same thing. Just be sure to set things right and record in 32 bits float. On the card it records true 32 bits, on PC, you need to set the software to record in 32 bits float.
I hope this will help you :)
Thank you so much bro! Can you send the lights link again pls? Think you mis-pasted the SD link.
I'm getting the three arm mount, the Sigma 16mm lens and the 6700. FX30 looks amazing but might be an overkill?
Thank you so much. I'll give you a shout out when this is all set up hopefully.
Would be good to see a video on how far from the camera the subject ( you are ) and camera angle position for best view of talking head.
Hey man. Thank you! I will add this on my list. Tou can see the distance on my video about how to choose your lens for talking head videos: The Only Lens You Need For TH-cam Videos!

Thank you and I will keep in mind this topic 🤗
Great video helped a lot! Can you recommend a shock mount for the mic you use (Audio-Technica AT875R) please?
Hey. Glad you like it. Yes, definitely. This is wht I use: amzn.to/3REaTrg
Bro, why dont you have over 3k subs??? Super good information and funny🎉
Hey. Thank you! I don’t know bro 😂 People like other kind of content.
I am working to build a channel and would like to use some existing gear if I could. I have a Canon 50mm prime lense, and I could easily buy a Canon 5D MarkII full frame body for $400. I have an AudioTechnica AT4040 studio condenser mic and a LED panel that only needs a soft box yet.
Will a 50mm prime lense be a good setup for screen recording tutorial videos and talking head or should I look for a different camera? I want a permanent setup in my office so Incan sit down and hit record.
Hey! 50mm is great but you will need to have a big distance between you and the camera.
Watch this video to see the distances: th-cam.com/video/eV5zeYnmFN4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LNorPfyIf2ErRO7T
@@GabrielVIP thanks so much, that's what I'm finding as well. I think I need my camera directly behind my monitor on my desk with the space I have, so I will need a different lense
Loving your videos, great job!
Do I take it that the recommendation of 32bit float has been superseded by your recommendation to use Rodecaster Duo?
Also, have you tried the Vocaster or StreamerX?
Hey! Thank you :) Glad you like it!
No! I don't recommend Rodecaster over F3 and 32-bit float. The recommendation of Rodecaster is just if you need many channels and complex control for streaming. For that… it’s almost the only solution like on a radio station. But if you just record, the F3 it’s my first choice.
I didn't tested the Vocaster and streamer
Thank you :)
@@GabrielVIP thanks for the clarification.
I plan on doing recorded videos but also use my setup for live video calls. In a video you seemed to really appreciate the rodecaster duo to improve live audio. Does your recommendation change based on this purpose? Sorry should have stayed my use case to start with.
I have no use for the push pads and sound effects.
Thanks
If you want just a microphone you can do it with a normal audio interface, but if you want more control, for live, yes! Rodecaster is the best choice. If you have it you can do recorded videos and also super live and streams etc. You will not have problems with Rodecaster for video creation. Recorded or live. (For recorded videos I prefer the F3 because it's small, compact and easy to use, but if you plan to do live, rodecaster will be perfect)
Thanks so much for your time.
I wasn't trying to push for the rodecaster, I'd appreciate a smaller unit in fact, but the zoom isn't that cheap so would rather future proof my setup and spend a bit more now. Thanks again
@bsh3p Yeah! If you shoot indoor and want to do recorded videos and streams, Rodecaster DUO will be a better fit :)
Next week I will release a video about the F3 for talking head creators but for live and streams Rodecaster will be better.
PS: if you buy it from Amazon in the US and click ok my link it will be much appreciated 😁: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQLJYSBX/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_FSGCNN0TCPBDG224H91G?linkCode=ml2&tag=smartmediacre-20)
Thank you!
Gabe, thanks for the vid. I do religious and spirituality talking head vids. I love the look and feel your vid. What camera settings are you using. Can you assist me with this? Thx
Hello. Glad you like it! Look at my latest video posted on the channel. Is about all the settings step by step :)
I just purchased the 7aiii with the kit 28-70. But have the zve10 as well. Which do you recommend?
All of them are super good. Just learn the basic settings and you can make super good content :)
Do you record in SLOG and then color grade after or do you record on a different picture profile? I was told to record in SLOG but the raw video looks extremely flat and bland. The colors in your videos are extremely vibrant and nice to look at!
Hey. With ZV-E10 NO! I don’t use S-log3. For a talking head video you don’t need that. You will just overcomplicate things with almost 0 results. Record with your picture profile turned off. No picture profile. S-Log3 requires conversion, color grading, experience in exposing it correctly and other things. Just for a talking head video where you have a controlled light and don’t need a ton of dynamic range is useless. Check this video where I show you all my settings step by step: th-cam.com/video/5nB4WF6EhqA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sF2XMzDBi8HDnBjS

Hi, in Davinci. I’m not able to sync video and audio. When I select “auto align clips”, the options are grayed out and clickable. When I click “auto align clips”, nothing happens. My audio clip doesn’t sync with my video clip. What do I do?
Hey. You should right click when you select the video with your internal recorded audio and your external recorded audio, right click, go to auto align clip, and choose based on waveform. But those can be grey if you don't have the internal audio. That's important as a reference.
@@GabrielVIP okay thank you 🙏🏽
what about a gopro ?
I don't like the GoPro image indoor. I personally prefer to use a smartphone than a GoPro for indoor shooting but it's just a personal preference.
I wondered what 32bits float was, thanks for explaining :-)
Hey! My pleasure man. I hope it helps :) Do you have this setup and think about upgrading to 32 bits float?
@@GabrielVIP I was in the process of researching a talking head set-up and had so many questions, do I want this or that and you come along and answer all my questions in a very good and straight forward video 🙂

Hey! I don’t have that camera but maybe I will find it :) Thank you!
dude i dont get the point where you rise the iso till you see the zebras? i thought if you see it, its overexposed/Clipped
Hey! If you set the zebra at 70, it’s not overexposed. If you set it to 100 will indicate overexposed. It really depends how you set it :) At 70 is perfect for skin.
okay i think i got it now,, need to try around by myself, thanks for the informations@@GabrielVIP

great video
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Man our definitions of budget friendly are really different, lol
Hey. Yeah, all those things are expensive but, when I talk about budget friendly and a killer setup, I choose whats super good, because it's a killer setup, but still the most affordable ones for that level of quality. If I will just make a budget setup.... it's not gonna be a setup with a high quality, or as high as this one. I will try to make more setups, and some of them with decent quality but more affordable. Thank you for your feedback :)
Please advise the camera for 2025! If you chose a camera for such a video like this - and only, neither photos, nor shooting from the hands of anything else, only a talking head, an excellent picture with a blurry background and the possibility of long -term recording - podcasts, streams, what do you need to take?
Hey! If you want to walk and talk, to shoot while moving, I recommend the ZV-E10 MK II. If you shoot only from a tripod, go with the ZV-E10. But for a blurry background, you need a fast lens like Sigma 16mm f1.4.
I liked your recommendation but it is way expensive for me
Hey! This is a little bit more expensive than a budget setup. I wanted to be a killer one :) I will think about a basic setup :) Thank you!
Somehow I cannot get my mic right. Any ideas? It sounds hollow.
Hey. It’s more complicated than this. I need to know how it’s your enviroments, what equipments do you use, how you record etc
I am SURE that I have seen you on TH-cam Shorts, and yet when I look at your channel I see only long form videos, and no tab for Shorts. Why is this?
Hello. Yes, I deleted all my shorts. I made shorts in december 2023. But I don’t like how it works. I had a ton of views but only kids. My channel on long form have an audice over 25 years old, and this crazy algorithm showed my shorts just to kids even if I had the same topics, on the same serious style. So… I prefer to shut down my shorts production.
Good video but is it just me or did it feel like the video just ended out of nowhere? He mentions to go check another video for vlogging and then boom it's over. No outro, no recap, just ends. It caught me off guard and now it is all I am thinking about as opposed to the actual content in the video itself.
Hey! Thank you for your fredback. This is my style and a good style for my videos :) I give value on the entire video, I said my recommendations and at the end, yes, I encouraged my audience to check another video because if you want to learn content creation you need much more. I dont do recaps and outros because it will just hurt my videos retention and my videos will never be promoted by the algorithm. You said It’s a good video and I appreciate that, thank you! But if I don’t have a good retention the algorithm will never promote my video and someone like you will never discover it. And, why should I do recaps when you can allways come back and check if you forgot something? And is more important to show the next important video to watch then to see me how I say: Have a great day, thank you, bye bye :)) Thank you for your feedback man 🙋🏻♂️
@@GabrielVIP💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Because when you start an outro, like "ok guys thanks for watching", then people will click off and not see his next recommended video. So he does it abruptly to catch you off guard
but your sound is no bass..u can use audacity.
The lack of bass has nothing to do with the software. I cut the bass because my room has huge reverb on low frequencies so I need to cut the low frequencies down.
