Best CHEAP Podcast Setup for Beginners (Everything You Need to Start!)

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

Video podcast only needs 2 things. Phone camera and a microphone. If you have these 2 things, you've got no excuses!

[@dappledaisykiara]

Which mic works for you and which phone?

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

@@dappledaisykiara I have an iPhone 12 pro and a rode videomic. Really cheap with surprisingly good results

[@Mythougtsexactly]

Any application to record? I am looking to start a video podcast with people I will invite online

[@niaag537]

What mic for a XS max?

[@Mythougtsexactly]

@@niaag537 any mic would do with active noise cancellation really. I purchased so Chinese Mix for my iPhone XS named K8 Lavalier microphone. It’s really good and very cost efficient

[@nolanmolt]

I love how you shot this on a phone and it still looked REALLY good! Shows that you don't need the best cameras for getting started on KZbin!

[@Derek_Derp]

Been wanting to start Aswel, but still struggling cause my iPhone 6 doesn’t shoot in 4K and it’s low on space

[@jamesowings1934]

​@@Derek_DerpiPhone 6?!?!?! In 2023 :0

[@karrielenora]

Yes. Save your money. I bought all kinds of stuff listening to others. All I needed was my phone and a ring light kit. I bought mics, sound cards, a camcorder and whatever else these videos say. I like this video because it kept it simple. A mic, a phone, and decent lighting. That's it! Why didn't I find this video sooner?

[@QualityDiscoursePod]

can you use the mic with your phone on zoom calls?

[@LinasDreamyDiaries]

@@QualityDiscoursePod yes you can

[@jadegillispie2385]

Thank you for this info. I’m going to get started this year! ❤

[@trollala_555]

I use my nokia 4210 as microphone. is that okay?

[@ElesiaB]

“You gotta just press record.” Today this was really all I needed to hear. Although I watched the entire video, today, that’s all I needed. Thank you. -Elesia.

[@MartyGrace]

Bro this was the best most simple explainer video I’ve seen. Thank you for being simple and showing us how confident we can do this on a budget God bless.

Question of the Day ⚡ What do you think about this setup? Let us know! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 ****** Watch our How to Start a Podcast for Beginners HERE ➡️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWSUeoNjbtShgrc

[@karinaalbarran5121]

What if I want to use more than 1 microphone? What should I do?

[@gloriay99]

Thank you for this. Very helpful!! I don't know how to edit video/audio. Are there services where you can send your footage and for them to clean it up, etc. Not at exuberant prices of course :)

[@u2bcr8tr]

I like the setup, nice and simple. But if the mic is plugged into the iPhones only charging port. How would I keep my phone charged or charging during longer (2-3 hr) podcast recordings? Thank you

[@lizroland4435]

I am thinking of starting a podcast, but at 77 years old and on social security the equipment would be a problem. Thank you for your podcast. because I can afford to get these things and get started.❤

[@princesskayla]

I would love to know what you’re planning to talk about in your podcast… I’m intrigued ❤

[@shynessbreakthroughcommuni826]

What a great starter kit! For mics, we prefer a better sound - that Samson Q2U has been working well for us

[@nicolegilchrist3180]

I know there is a lot of content available for podcast beginners. HOWEVER this by far was the best for ME. Thank you

[@MelissaKoch-lu7he]

I am new to this and in my early 40s. I always have these amazing talks with my friends and thought about starting a podcast. Thank you so much for the tips that you have posted. I hope to get mine out and airdrop soon.

[@GoWrightReviews]

I agree! You really don’t need a lot to start at all! If the content is good, the views will continue to flow in. The equipment are just peripherals and we gotta start somewhere 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@itisdarren19]

is this setup for a solo podcast? what if you want to do a conversation piece with multiple mics, do you you need a mixer? if so which one do you recommend?

[@speedpigeonproductions]

Lol we have the same question

[@roodieroo]

Any luck finding a solution?

[@felixmartinezvalencia7845]

I’m 10 months late but I recommend the rode mixer super easy to use also you can record with your iPhone camera and put the audio together from the mixer

[@lorenzbeaumacc1175]

@@felixmartinezvalencia7845 do you have any link where to find it?. And what type of mics can we use of we have multiple guests on the podcast?

[@GamingGioPlays]

Its for solo

[@virusmaker506]

This 5min video just taught me so much!! I really appreciate it. I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently just as a way to communicate with others but was a little intimidated before.

[@theluschmasterinc]

A ring light is also a good investment if your budget is pretty low but you still want to have a 'balance of light' in your videos! 💙✨

[@suzettehayes7829]

I think that a video podcast is the very media to get me started on doing my KZbin show. I didn’t know that VIDEO podcast was a thing...What’s the difference between a video podcast and let’s say a show on Streamyard or Zoom?? Are they considered podcasts or does it depend on the content??? Can you have guests on a podcast?? Thank you for this video.... it has blessed me to not be scared not to have what I need to get started....

[@daybydaymedia747]

The term "podcast" has definitely evolved over the years but as long as you hav your shows audio uploaded with a RSS feed somewhere it can technically be a podcast. But any media has potential to become a podcast.

[@remifaith1754]

Thank you soo much, this video was so clear and precise on the information I needed about podcasting startup equipment.

[@jaecuzaPriv]

I NEED to know: If your starting a group podcast WHERE do you connect the mics too? if you have multiple mics and one camera???

[@DotB33]

An audio interface should help like a focusrite or behringer

[@CreateWithDre]

As always, great hook/intro and appreciate the candor exuded. Hopefully this inspires many to get past those mental blockers to creating, and keep creating yourself my friend. Great job!

[@LADYDIVAful]

Thanks for sharing, you gave me the confidence to GO! Can I use my iPad instead of my iPhone?

[@StacyK-Kidney-Cancer-Warrior]

Im so glad I found this vidoe! Iv been wanting to start vlogging about my journey with advanced stage 4 kidney cancer but just was so overwhelmed with it all! Not just the electronics side of it but getting in front of a vidoe camera when ur whole self has been drastically changed by cancer... Atleast for me as a female it's alot. My dad told me a ridiculous amount of time that I should go live and share my journey, my life, how it is living when they say I'm dying and every thing iv gone threw since 2021...yeah I been living with this diagnosis since April of 2021....crazy I know. 32 months of chemo and immunotherapy plus losing my ability to walk in 2022... So I'll also be streaming from a power chair... I knew I needed to have myself in a better place mentally and emotionally before starting. I'll always be exhausted so I just have to do it. I just didn't know what all I needed to start. I kept telling my dad I will whwn I'm ready. He passed away last year ans I'm so angry I didn't start whwn he was here.. But it showed me I just have to do it and get it done. I'm about to move into my new apartment and after getting settled in my vlogging will start. Sooooo nervous tho!

[@ChristopherMcGinley-u3q]

Very brave of u to share your story I hope ur treatment is going well for you.. sorry to read about ur dad.. get going with ur vlogging u will inspire someone in need of inspiration who may be going through something similar.. I send u my best wishes and hope u have a great relationship with God and Jesus 😇

[@tomfreem]

Video recording - set up; Thanks for simple explanation and showing what where we can buy - microphone, lighting

[@NursesToRiches]

The quality and information provided on your videos is helping be grow. Slowly but surely!

[@DonStephon]

Lighting is on point and clean environment. Best use of your gear 👍🏾

[@altalkspodcast8221]

Yeah I agree with this a basic set up at the start is good and once you learn how to use it save up and get better equipment. I started off with a 30 euro USB mic and 40 euro webcam and used the editing software on my computer.

[@SubhashJhaVlogs]

I am making youTube videos just with my iPhone, nothing else. You just need to believe on yourself that you can create good content. Best of luck 🤞

[@DrColg8]

Having an audio command center is really nice and there are good kits out there like the Squarock M1 commander with 2 surprisingly great mics, desk mount booms, and the commander M1. Like a video deck /switcher, the M1 is an audio controller that has effects, sound effects and can easily bring in external zoom callers "through the board" by connection your phone or another laptops via audio out (headphone jack) if you were hosting a multicaller zoom call. Having a video switcher like the streamdeck gives you push button camera control to change scenes on the fly (pip, lower 3rd, graphics/b-roll, etc) at the push of a button. You can use the free streamdeck software instead of the deck (hardware) and do the same thing with a phone or tablet on the network. Upgraded versions of the above allow for isolated capture of all feeds as individual stream (A/V files) for more post production flexibility. If your going to do it and can swing $500-$600, may as well do it right. Your investment may even help you commit to your project.

[@CohenThompson]

Great video! Next y’all should do a budget 4 person podcast setup!

[@aperson1181]

Could you recommend an audio/mic "splitter" that allows two(2) people to make zoom calls from one(1) PC at the same time?

[@daybydaymedia747]

you might want a virtual audio cable and a multiple usb port.

[@AMDpc067]

This was straight to the point and informative and the sound is amazing.. I will Def be subscribing to the channel. Also best thing ever the mic is 30 bucks right now lol can't get any better!!

[@garymcadamspa8450]

I bought the Sampson Q2U Mic after watching your video and LOVE it. This totally changed how I sound. What would be the best editing software that is easy for a non so computer savvy beginner but also one i can grow with? I use a Mac if that makes any difference.

[@daybydaymedia747]

For mobile video editing Inshot, or Capcut are great and simple. Capcut also has a desktop option. Davinci Resolve is an amazing editing software that is free but also slightly more advanced.

YESSHEWENTTHERE!!... IM SO HYPE TO LEARN ALL OF THIS

[@macways5637]

Hello! Question the mic you’re using is it good for more than one person in a podcast?

[@ReinventedDelaware]

😊😊Thanks for this video and so many others that y'all put out. My hubby and I want to start a video podcast but the tech and gear part of it is driving me crazy! I purchased two USB Mics not realizing they could not connect to my Canon M50. I also purchased a Comica Linkflex that was recommended by Heather Torrez. I still don't have the correct cables/cords to connect everything. So then I thought I would use my iPhone 13 Pro Max to record the video and audio. Is there some way to connect both of the USB mics to my iPhone? Or maybe there is some way to connect the two USB mics I have to my Canon M50? Help please!!!!😩😩😩

[@daybydaymedia747]

I am not sure about two mics but you can connect 1 mic to your phone with a Saramonic Smartrig II XLR Microphone, you have to by an iphone headphone adapter but this will take care of atleast 1 phone

[@JenniferWilliams-r2s]

Thank you for making it simple and for the links. ❤

[@joemathewson4198]

I want to start making video podcasts. I’d be using my iPhone to record the videos. Obviously that would take up quite a bit of space. What would be the best way to save the videos without killing my phones storage?? Sorry if I sound like an idiot. I’m a newbie here. Thanks.

[@IamSallyLo]

you explain really well on the setup , it is easy for the beginners to follow. i have some questions, hope you can help me out 1.I wanna do video podcast, so can you plug two mics into one iphone or i need a interface? 2.When i use the mics Does the sounds goes straight to the video ? Thank you
