For the background: Not a TV, a projector. Then just add physical texture. And throw some footage on it. Slowmo or acrobatic drone stuff would be unique and you have it already.
That setup would legit make me very happy. I love the feeling of being unencumbered, yet still having everything I need organized and ready to go at all times.
BTW, one thing I've done with mine that's soooo baller is including my ATEM switcher, all the lights, all the cameras, monitors...etc. All powered through smart outlets. So I walk in and say, Hey Google, turn on my studio and it all comes on. It's insane. It's equally awesome saying Hey Google, turn off my studio.
When remodeling an old house the order of work is to start with redoing the roof, followed by window replacements. redo all the plumbing, redo all the electrical, redo the entire ventilation/heating/AC system, upgrade exterior wall thermal insulation and sound suppression before ending with dry walling.
When you were setting up, it reminded me of a dentist’s office. The articulating arms look like the kind that have drills hooked to the end. Very cool setup and anxious to see how it turns out.
Watching the evolution of the channel is so entertaining. I remember all the different apartments and living spaces. The added new characters, the dogs, the new gear.... everything about it is awesome. Gene you're just so likable.
Love this! I have to constantly setup and pack away my filming setup for pieces to camera because my quietest room for filming is also a family room, so I'd love a quicker solution. i had been thinking of a pole on an office chair wheel base, but I wonder if I could get something like this to work instead... cheers!
For some reason i felt so relax and good and just happiness watching that room Turing into a little studio that i will watch videos made in it for years to come. Feels like witnessing history lol ❤️
sorry to hear about the leak. the trouble is real! got my house and thought it would just need the wallpaper stripped and a little skimming here and there... in the end the plaster had to go, then the electrics and finally the pipes... so I basically ended up back to brick and had to rebuild everything 🤦♂️
Iv'e been using more and more Area Swiss too. Thanks! I have never thought of bouncing a light off my shade. My dome takes up half of my room. Defiantly not shift the light when you make a jump cut the light will jump too.
I've done a similar thing with a sit stand electric desk and stuff clamped to that. The wobble isn't really a problem for me. I've an ultrawide monitor and a face camera and a top down camera. Still working out lighting.
Looks similar to the mobile stand setup that Caleb Pike (DSLR Video Shooter) came up with 2 years ago. I have this same setup but on a stand with wheels based on Caleb's idea. I prefer that to the stripper pole. Cool setup though. I like that you were able to fit it in a closet.
DUDE!!! THANK YOU!!! - This is a great P.O.C. video - for a work or home space! Def buying a couple! So nice to have everything in the closet with the perfect lighting options - daytime w the added bounce looks amazing! as well as the option to make it dark and dramatic Yeo style. Just let G.U. keep the purple BG :)
Since the Varipole is a quick latch system, could you do a side-by-side comparison between the two? Strength, cost, basic pros/cons, features, that sort of thing? Is one more budget friendly than the other?
There are channels who do their version of an "all-in-one" stations, and then there is Potato Jet. Seriously, look at at his key light! Ugh so jelly, wish I had extra space to even have this kind of setup.
Yesss, Potato Jet will be back for good! I really like compact settings, and a filmable closet puts it to another level :) I have built my one DIY-Pole with a 60l oil barel and a metal pipe in a concrete foundation. The rest is filled up with soil and even a few plants so my wife accepts it as decoration :) This massive weight also supports heavy boom pole w/o counterweight on just 14"-diameter with fitting connectors and superclamps. Too bad gear tree accesoires is for 43mm-poles, thats too large for me :(
You definitely have to put some cameras in the background. Maybe a 3 shelf bookcase with classic cameras, workhorses and action cams. Just saying. Oh yeah don’t forget the orange led lighting to enhance it all. Welcome to home ownership and all the good ole repairs that come with it. 👍🏾
Got me curious about a new setup! I'm diggin' it! Hate you are having plumbing issues! BUMMER! Good luck with that but looks like you got things under control!
Gosh, I also had a leak myself but I caught it as I could hear it then see the source. That gear tree does look useful but I'd like extra long arms for multiple lights . . Also gotta scrape the texture on my ceiling, the list keeps growing hah
The closet wall is white, if you don't have a plan to put sound treatment on the closet wall, I'd just bounce the 300Dmk2 off that huge white wall. The Light Dome 2 is great, but always takes up all that space. That's just my thought. You got this.
I've been eyeing a setup like this too! I could really use it for my live streaming. Hhhmmm things to think about. Wondering if theres a more affordable way to accomplish this.
Dude! When you had the grid controlling the light from the 300D mk ii and the RGB tube facing directly backwards at the wall, the lighting looked _INCREDIBLE._ That was dope as hell.
while your house is in chaos, don't forget to pull a LAN cable between room so you can have good internet coveragr. Just imaginr you can have a home NAS and you can edit your video anywhere in your home
Love that the magic of editing showed the behind the scene!!
It was hilarious 10/10
For the background: Not a TV, a projector. Then just add physical texture. And throw some footage on it. Slowmo or acrobatic drone stuff would be unique and you have it already.
Or get one of those Samsung ones you place on the floor and it projects upwards onto a wall
That’s a good idea and better than doing green screen work.
I can't wait to see the studio tour when everything is done ALREADY LOVING IT
That setup would legit make me very happy. I love the feeling of being unencumbered, yet still having everything I need organized and ready to go at all times.
If you don’t use the top down camera, use it for boom mic.
BTW, one thing I've done with mine that's soooo baller is including my ATEM switcher, all the lights, all the cameras, monitors...etc. All powered through smart outlets. So I walk in and say, Hey Google, turn on my studio and it all comes on. It's insane. It's equally awesome saying Hey Google, turn off my studio.
What swticher do you use with Google?

so when does the flooring step in?

That's why it seemed creepy!

I personally like the old TH-cam studio better because it was a “detached space” which is golden to me! Anything detached is everything!
This video is awesome. How stable is the camera when it's on 3 (!!!) extension arms?
Do a projector for the background. Span the whole wall! It would for sure be unique!
Make a gear wall for your background! All floating shelves! Spot lights mounted from the ceiling out of frame so you can get that depth
Unalzi carries its own quick release plates nice closet setup 👍🏻😄
Bro this video just gave me “LIFE” and I’m not kidding. Greatly appreciate you showing/giving us inspiration of what can be 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I hate you - I totally didn’t expect to buy this but now I am 🥺 I prefer a black color option but black spray paint will have to do
I can’t wait to see the finished product with the doors on the closet! Going to love the new setup.
For some reason i felt so relax and good and just happiness watching that room Turing into a little studio that i will watch videos made in it for years to come.
Feels like witnessing history lol ❤️
Look like he is so excited to tell us
Appreciated that man
You really have inspired me and changed my
Thinking on my TH-cam journey
Should get a projector to blast as a background, that way you can do whatever visuals or colors you want without taking up more room.
I agree. It could give you some VR set options too!

Ulanzi makes some fun stuff!
What was the brand of the tube light you used to light your background? It looked a little different than the ones I am familiar with.
I like the multi-color tube light. What is the brand and model number? This is a great video. I really enjoy watching them.
i was wondering the same thing!
looking for the same
Iv'e been using more and more Area Swiss too. Thanks! I have never thought of bouncing a light off my shade. My dome takes up half of my room. Defiantly not shift the light when you make a jump cut the light will jump too.
K probably the best piece of gear people need that has been made and reviewed.
It honestly looks like a solution looking for a problem to solve.. Or a dentist supply company said “Hey, what if we make it for cameras?”
i had the same idea on dentist chair.
i think this is the only time this apparatus will be portrait in this channel...
For my talking head setup I have 4 stands (2 lighting, audio/mic, camera) and I hate it - this is exactly what I need
Using your closet like that is a great use of space!!
IDK for sure but I think you can get a bigger light to fit in that closet.
@Potato Jet
Any chance of a link for that RGB background light?
have you find this light?
I've done a similar thing with a sit stand electric desk and stuff clamped to that. The wobble isn't really a problem for me. I've an ultrawide monitor and a face camera and a top down camera. Still working out lighting.
cool. looking forward for your next update!
Yaaaa house stuff! It's liberating for sure

WHOA! Amazing setup! Does anyone know what that long stick light is that he used for the background?
Been waiting for this! This video is long overdue!
DUDE!!! THANK YOU!!! - This is a great P.O.C. video - for a work or home space! Def buying a couple! So nice to have everything in the closet with the perfect lighting options - daytime w the added bounce looks amazing! as well as the option to make it dark and dramatic Yeo style. Just let G.U. keep the purple BG :)
That is the nicest youtube setup I've ever seen
I WANT THISSSSSS!!!!!
is that a nanlite at 9:25?
Love your videos question what model number is that color light you use in the video?
I think that's a great solution Gene, look forward to seeing how you finalize it.
I wonder if these accessories can use with the heavy duty light stands ?
What is the brand/model of the light stick that you use to add color to your background/shot?
ulanzi is juz getting crazier and crazier!!! Damn !
What was that light tube? Couldnt find it in your kits you linked?
oh this is awesome! and so simple. I have a small space with work and home. This works! Happy New Year brother!
Mann! I have 4 autpoles in my tiny space. Love those things but this looks like it would steal their lunch money!
0:36 you described my situation perfectly
Since the Varipole is a quick latch system, could you do a side-by-side comparison between the two? Strength, cost, basic pros/cons, features, that sort of thing? Is one more budget friendly than the other?
What led light bar is that?? Great accent lighting!
The Shure looks great in the frame
Nice idea, thanks for inspiring, always
9:22 which color light tube you are using?
What's the name of the strobe light that can output different colours please?
There are channels who do their version of an "all-in-one" stations, and then there is Potato Jet. Seriously, look at at his key light! Ugh so jelly, wish I had extra space to even have this kind of setup.
Four 72" monitors on the wall sync'd together for that Mandalorian type backdrop. You too could be on Tattooine, Daimyo...

Very nice setup!
Yea his setup is so nice
Got me curious about a new setup! I'm diggin' it! Hate you are having plumbing issues! BUMMER! Good luck with that but looks like you got things under control!
That looks so good
I went to the sight & I want to build one out the way I want. However I noticed they don't offer the boom mic/camera arm as an individual option.
Everything is individually available now, atleast in Malaysia. Have done a souped up setup and combining it with their F22 system as well.
Gosh, I also had a leak myself but I caught it as I could hear it then see the source. That gear tree does look useful but I'd like extra long arms for multiple lights . . Also gotta scrape the texture on my ceiling, the list keeps growing hah

What light is that at 9:20? Link pleeeaassse?
I need this!!! Setting it up in the closet is genius. 🥂
Congrats on finally taking down your Christmas Tree ahaha, we can't wait to see the finished setup!
That's looking pretty cool! I definitely can related to tripping over lightstands and tripods, lol.
I've got that black adjustable shelving unit and it's a great computer desk 😉
You crack me up man. Really enjoy your content
Time is money, so - I would say this is a plus!
Hi! Do TH-cam know If i can use these arms in a tradicional c stand? With thia 3 point anchor?
Slick set up! I'm looking forward to how it all comes together!
Great video thanks! 😆
Hello! How long do you keep your CHRISTMAS TREE up?
Yo! A while back you mentioned a cheap mic that you were digging, what mic was it??
Your test setup is better than my final setup... 😅
Do you think these attachments would work w/ a C-Stand?
I can't wait to get to the point of designing my own office space
That set actually looks amazing with the dark background and the tube light. I want that for ever in studio video lol
do you know what's that tube light called?
BRO!!! That transition got me! That was hilarious hahaha
Where can I find the same rgb light tube?
I've been eyeing a setup like this too! I could really use it for my live streaming. Hhhmmm things to think about. Wondering if theres a more affordable way to accomplish this.
Kinda cool. Not sure if it’s for me but love the innovative thinking
I must have missed something but what happened to your studio that you were getting?
This is such a cool idea!
what light tube where you using ?
Short throw projector baby!
Interesting. Well done.
I just said "this is wild" to my cat who is sleeping in my studio. Such a dope concept!
Dude! When you had the grid controlling the light from the 300D mk ii and the RGB tube facing directly backwards at the wall, the lighting looked _INCREDIBLE._
That was dope as hell.
That's a pretty cool tree, I liked it. Amazon?
AMAZINGNESS! I NEED ONE!
A couple of my wildlife photographs would be a great background in your new studio....
while your house is in chaos, don't forget to pull a LAN cable between room so you can have good internet coveragr.
Just imaginr you can have a home NAS and you can edit your video anywhere in your home
That tripod plate looks like a Falcam 38. That's what I have on ALL my stuff.
I hope you revisit the setup in a few months.
