Can you give one of my channels a shoutout if you do, the name is Around the Boulevard. Your videos have actually helped us a lot I have used suggestions from your vids like lighting and cheap but good cameras. We would really appreciate it if you gave us a shout out cause we could really use the support
Richard_AKL Richard_AKL I am pretty sure it is a “Neewer” on camera light. I saw it on the best budget light video. $23.00 without battery on Amazon and Ebay
Bought the mic, light, and phone holder and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. Thank you Sean for these recommendations. They definitely give my videos a nice quality look to it!
Cameras, lighting, microphone etc is definitely quite intimidating to a beginner. I've tried to start by spending as little as possible, but there's so many good practical ideas here, it probably takes a little investment to film quality content.
thank you! i like that you get right down to it and don't include unnecessary banter. easy to understand, great and quick examples for the not-so-savvy tech person such as myself. now that schools are closed and we are teaching from home, i am want to up my video game. well, start my video game :)
Thank you so much. This was a massive help. As my channel that is one that has just gotten started this is going to help out so much especially with audio. Again, thank you.
I'm just starting to learn how to do vlogging during this quarantine and search for this kind of video for me learn more on it. I will be using my phone for vlogging and thanks a lot for the video really helpful! Cheers to all small youtubers that just started their vlog just like me. 😍
I used something similar to film a facility tour at work. A good point to add too is that as you build, even if you have a $2000 sometimes its not the best gear for the shoot. We chose phone over the 70D because we needed to work lite and fast so the best option was a phone. Great set up.
Thanks bro...I wanted to start creating more content but didnt have a good camera. U gave me confidence to jump in with my phone jus increased the quality💯
Thank you for this video! So very very helpful, all of your videos are super! Thank you for being so willing to share all you know. As a retired person I really appreciate how clearly you explain the important details, I am just beginning on TH-cam and I'm not sure what I would have done without your help, thanks again!
I have watched you and two others for guidance as I start my YT channel journey! And thanks to your awesome suggestions I am at 535 subs in 6 weeks!! Thanks for helping us newbies!!!
@@gshsgtfhshgst3931 LOL - I forgot I commented on this! Wow - brings back memories! Yes, I was very lucky in the beginning because of the fact that I was really niched down and also got in on a lot of collaborations very early. :)
@@gshsgtfhshgst3931 It definitely does take a long time for some people, but it is also definitely possible! I just celebrated my one-year TH-cam anniversary and I'm at 9400 now. I watched Think Media and Sunny Lenarduzzi and took all their advice. You DEFINITELY have to put in a lot of hard work to make it work though.
Thankyou so much Think Media. I am going to be starting my own personal educational and informational TH-cam channel in about six months on weightlifting, dieting, cardio, etc. I find this video very helpful on how to start from scratch
One of my favorite accessories for creating content is my Shure Motiv MV88 it is not cheap but worth getting cause the sound quality is ten times better than using the built in mic on my phone!
Think Media I have also added a hand held mic with the tascam DR-10x plug in linear mic just to make sure if i am doing an interview that i get the most and best sound!
Nice review, the light is this one. Neewer Dimmable 176 LED Video Light 5600K on Camera Light Panel with 2600mAh Battery and USB Charger for Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Panasonic, Sony, and Other Digital SLR Cameras for Photography
Hey, just wanted to point out that the vastar smartphone mounts if you flip it over so the phone tightening knob is at the bottom, there is a 1/4" screw point that you can attach a cold-shoe mount like the SmallRig one then you can mount a microphone or light to that. You can see the mount point at 0:59. Also for connecting the TRS to the TRRS connectors, you can get one that splits out the microphone and headphone which lets you monitor the audio too without having to unplug and replug things.
It could be this one in Amazon VILTROX VL-162T CRI95+ LED Video Light, Portable Camera Photo Light Panel Dimmable for DSLR Camera Camcorder with Battery, Charger, High Brightness, 3300K-5600K Bi-Color, White Filter and LCD Display
I found it: www.amazon.com/Neewer-Dimmable-Cameras-Battery-Included/dp/B06XDFGDCX/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=neewer+light&qid=1587670646&s=electronics&sr=1-8 It is $23.99, or $45.99 if you want to include the battery for non corded use.
Sean, love your content man. One thing I notice a lot with the items you recommend from Amazon, is that they're not available for shipping to New Zealand and probably some other countries around the world. Would be awesome if you did a video on some of these things with only items that ship globally from Amazon. Keep up the great work!
That's why on my videos I have started replacing Amazon links with Aliexpress links. Most of the products are exactly the same, cheaper and Ali offer worldwide shipping.
Jordan it is so cool the amount of accessories they make for smart phones now! I have been using my smart phone for 5 years now and I just keep looking for better accessories to help me with my recording of footage!
Every time I watch your vedio gains me inspiration and confidence..... currently I'm vlogging in my phone.... though I was nervous in my first vedio.......and I had made 3 vedios in 3 weeks....and this keeps going... thanks dude ❤️
His is a great video, I go the video rig, I’ll be getting the mic 🎤 and light 💡 soon. I got a Boya mic though. Wish the best to everyone creating content for TH-cam !! 🔥
Thank you man! I'm a new TH-camr going on my 3rd week! Your alls videos have been and are going to be a big help a long my crazy Journey on this platform. So yet again thank you very much for all of your all's content. I haven't even watched all the videos that I have seen that's going to help me grow my channel. But definitely know you all are going to be part of my playlist! Thanks again! The Loon with the Toons
Just bought all this stuff to start my own TH-cam channel. Really impressive and right to the point. Exactly the video I needed to jump right into it. Great links to Amazon as well. Got everything ordered in a matter of 10 minutes. Right on brother.
Thank you! i bought the Valstar mount to switch from my phone to my GoPro im going to start there

I don’t always want everything to be “cheap” in all of my set ups. Sometimes I want to purchase items that are worth the buy. Trying to build my channel and get lasting equipment. Do you guys have videos on mid level YouTubing equipment and lighting? Not looking to break the bank in every area, but sometimes like lighting and monitors etc I want to try to get best quality over “cheapest”
This is what I found on Amazon: Neewer on Camera Video Light Photo Dimmable 176 LED Panel with 1/4" Thread for Canon, Nikon, Sony and Other DSLR Cameras, 5600K
Wow! A really good video... some great information, no fluff, and heavy advertising, all delivered by a really good on-camera talent. It is obvious you know your stuff, and I appreciate your sharing so well. I've used my iPhone 8 for a number of shots where our bigger camera would SCREAM "HEY GUYS! LOOK, A VIDEO CAMERA!" I've also shot some really excellent stills and could really benefit from some of the accessories you mention. I'm checking out the top 5 mics video next. I've got at least $2,200 worth of professional mics and gear, so I look forward to using it with the phone. Nicely done, so thanks again for a great job!
Thanks Sean for continuing to bring great advice to the rest of us YouTubbers. You always have good tips to help us level up no matter what level we are.
I love the advice you give on her I'm try to learn my self what light works best try to make my own set that works with my budget thanks for the advice ..
Thanks so much Sean. I’ve been getting feedback from viewers reporting my light and sound is good but sometimes distracting. I’m following your suggestions! Please thinking of us "newbie TH-camrs!"
