I don’t have a big space to record my videos, so I try to make the best of it. I primarily use the Logitech Brio (it’s cheap and always ready to go, especially when we need to cover emergency events). For wider shots I have the Sony a7III which is connected to the computer via the camlink 4k — so I can switch cameras during live shows.
The rest of the stuff makes look like an Elgato shill, but the whole ecosystem system is pretty amazing. The Elgato Stream Deck is for switch between scenes and controlling the lighting.
Sound Setup
- Shure SM7B
- Sound Devices Mix Pre-6
This sound setup has to be honest a nightmare to get working well. I love the way the Shure SM7B sounds, especially since it’s directional and cuts out the noise from the nearby fans and air-conditioner unit. The only problem with the SM7B is that it’s very quiet requires a very good pre-amp. With help from Cameron (CryptoDaily), I got the Sound Devices Mix Pre-6.
The preamps on the Mix Pre-6 is good enough to use the SM7B without a cloudlifter.
Vlog Setup / Conference
- Sony a7III
- Sony 24–70mm F2.8 GM Lens
- Sony 16–35mm F4 Lens
- (Vlog Mic) Rode — VideoMic Pro+
- (Conference) Sennheiser AVX
This is where the Sony a7III really shines — with a large battery and excellent video capabilities. When paired with the 24–70mm lens, the results look good (although it’s VERY heavy to carry).
