What Equipment I Use For The #ASKGARYVEE Show.

A lot of you asked for it, here it is.


D’Rock here. A lot of you peeps have asked about the type of equipment I use for The #ASKGARYVEE Show, so I decided to streamline the process.


GEAR


Camera

Canon Mark III

I’ve only recently started using the Mark III a lot of the earlier episodes were filmed on the Canon 7D. Which worked, but the Mark III is incredible.

Glass

24–70 Lens

This is the most common lens used in the show and I like it very much. (Though we have used a 50mm and a 19–120mm)

Mics

Sennheiser EW 112-p G3

These are the best wireless lavs I’ve used up to date, they have an automatic gain and do very well to capture Gary’s up and down levels.

Zoon H4N

We use this primarily for when we record the voiceovers for the questions throughout the show. It’s handy. Especially if you are a beginner podcaster — it’s pretty straightforward.

Light

LED Light Panel

We’ve been swapping through a few different ones, which is why the lighting is a little off. But essentially it’s just a single panel LED.

Mounts

Shoulder Rig

You would not be able to create the #ASKGARYVEE show with a tripod. Sorry it’s just not possible. Gary’s energy and the way he just flows it would be impossible. I used to use the Opteka Shoulder Rig. Now I’m using a knock off chinese brand that I’ll be returning (It’s crap)

Monopod

Again, easy to use for the run and gun style of the show.


EDITING


Growing up I was a die hard Final Cut editor (until Final Cut Pro X happened…) Recently I’ve switched over to being a full Adobe Suite User.

I LOVE IT.

Adobe Premiere for the bulk of the footage editing

Adobe After Effects for the titles and twitter questions

Adobe Photoshop to build the tweets and such (yes, I have to recreate every tweet we use)

SUMMARY


Also we’re always looking for more questions so use the #AskGaryVee hashtag on twitter and if you aren’t already doing so follow @garyvee
