[@okay1904]

I think we need to take a step back - and ask ourselves a few questions. 1. MUST I BE ON KZbin, and HoW MUCH KZbin is needed. In the frenzy of the last decade, KZbin and social media has become a thing. But one needs to ask how much value really does being on KZbin and Social Media create, and of course this depends on your audience. Depending on the content, KZbin may not always be the right or only medium, cos KZbin may be simply a window - like a commercial advert, to pull the audience to go to your store e.g your web site to look at things in more detail. i.e is the KZbin video the "product" or a signpost to the product. The answer will determine how much effort goes into this. 2. VIDEO "CURRENCY" how current will this video be. What kind of video are we creating - one for the moment - news worthy, hype worthy, valuable because of the timeliness of the info - like news, or are we creating a video which has a medium term relevance or will be relevant for many years to come. The time relevance of the video will determine how much effort one needs to put into the video, in gear, etc, etc. Otherwise you are investing good money in bad if for example investing so much money in a video that will become obsolete in a few days - bad decision. 3. RETURN ON INVESTMENT To make the Sound of Music or the Godfather, or Star Wars, which will be watched over and over and over for decades, they spend a lot of money. To make an Attenborough BBC documentary they still spend a lot, but not as much as a Star Wars film To report on Donald Trump, I do not think they need to spend much money. SO my point is that KZbin needs to be thought of as a business decision, unless its of course just a hobby and there are no commercial considerations. How much am I getting from making this Youtue video, and this informs how much I should invest in it. KZbin is a platform - free to publish, but really not free cos it takes time, money, effort, to create content for KZbin. Only the publishing is free - you still have to promote it - which is not free takes effort, to get people to find your video.

[@xKingUVHearts]

@@okay1904 great way to set the tone. Everyone must really be honest about what type of value are they actually bringing.

[@dennisthemenace6742]

I think the Sony zv1 will fit in the vid because it is $699 and has no Record limit and defocused background it is small and has a Flip out screen

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

A lot of newer channels think that in order to create a successful channel, they need expensive equipment and that's simply not the case. I literally use a $5 lamp I got from target and I taped some paper over it to diffuse the light evenly. I know it might not be the best and most impressive lighting setup, but for someone who records in my room with limited space, it works wonders. I'm on the verge of breaking 1000 subscribers and I can tell you right now, it's because of the quality of my content and engagement with my audience, not how much I've spent on equipment. Good luck everyone!!! 😬

[@noobcoverssauceage2923]

Exactly!! I've just started and i have a window in my room and frosted windows, and bam my smartphone on my laptop screen and I'm good to go, it's always quality over quantity and content over fancy!!!😌😌

[@StrengthResurgence]

In keeping with the theme of this video, I’m finding that it’s actually pretty fun to see my video quality improve each month, both from slowly upgrading gear to just more practice with making videos. KZbin is a journey, and it’s pretty fun to actually see progress. Remember everyone, seek progress, not perfection!

[@dantrixter]

Very true I feel the same with my videos

[@StrengthResurgence]

@@dantrixter yeah it’s funny because at first I was very self-conscious about the video quality, lack of editing, etc. But I feel that every video of mine improves just a wee little bit, and it’s been really cool to start to see how things get a bit better each time (by my standards, anyways) as I put out each new video. Best of luck on your channel!!

[@adorablebelle]

Love this comment!

[@NorthIdahoNomads]

DUDE - THANK YOU for breaking this into laymans terms regarding the 'blurry background' issue!!! Not a single KZbinr has said this! I think it's one of those 'its so simple it gets overlooked'. I finally figured this out a little bit ago when it came time for me to build my own studio. But I WISH another creator had just come out and said this!

[@AlexsCreatorEconomy]

Me: Trying to build a yt Channel and feeling completely lost! Think Media: Shows you everything on KZbin for free. 🙏 Thanks a million guys! You all are amazing!

[@worth2worthnation]

Consistently, your company rocks with worthy info, practicality, and style.

[@olgafigueroa2909]

I already have all the equipment.It has bern collecting dust for a while now. Now I just need to stop being shy and just do it...:).

[@Koxtrinus]

i also have that problem :(

[@Unknownbrianzaste]

I have a cheap setup I made from your videos. But lately I've been trying ti have a different background in every video I make and it's really increased my creativity and production value on my videos!

[@Unknownbrianzaste]

@Beginner Code lol

[@vegasvibrance9393]

I try to do something different

[@YourDriverMike]

Sony a6600 or the new Sony a7C?

[@ChrisLotane]

I didn’t need a new mic until I heard how the deity eliminated the wind noise in the clip by the sliding glass door! Great video!

[@mannyarora6471]

I am setting up my first KZbin Video podcast studio and I bought everything that you suggested. Hope it all works out as you suggested. Very helpful and straight forward. Thank you so much!

[@transformingstep]

Remember that the substance in your content is KEY; and you're as good as the tool you've mastered. Great video as always guys!

[@Dr.SalvatoreVinciguerra]

Awesome gear suggestions! I just purchased the Sony ZV-1 and I also film with my Samsung Note 10 plus. I think that people who are new to KZbin should consider purchasing their equipment slowly and overtime as they need it as everyone has different needs. I would highly suggest that if you do a lot of indoor videos, then you need to have good lighting. The audio coming out of your phone or cameras are quite decent and as long as you have excellent content you will be fine. If you are doing voice overs then definitely upgrade microphone as the computer mics are not that great. I do like the idea of using the Diety mic as it does contribute to a better sounding audio for your video. Thanks for sharing this information Omar. You talk at a great pace making it easy to understand you. Some other people on this channel either speed up the the video or talk way too fast. Have a fantastic day!

[@skinsguy34]

Just picked up a cheap ring light for $35 on Amazon, over the weekend. It's super bright and has different light modes. Haven't used it in a video yet, but considering I didn't have a light before, it should help my videos out a lot!

[@okay1904]

I really like this chap - authentic - always authentic - real. believable. honest.

[@vineetgaur]

hey buddy M50 mark ii vs canon 90D?

[@VarianJohnson]

The Canon M50 is available on the Canon refurbished site for $422. A great deal! That, plus the Sigma 16mm or the Canon 22mm ($159 refurbished) make for a great deal! (Sure, you can't really film 4K with it, but otherwise it's a great and easy-to-use starter camera.)

[@karabomacholo8102]

Does the iPhone 11 pro have better image quality than the Canon M50 or was the M50 just out of focus?

[@warrioryt7037]

You guys uploaded at the perfect time . I was in need of someone making a video about their setups !

[@bleunoirmobile]

Lighting is... AWESOME!!!!! love it.

[@Infinitude]

For my channel currently i am using Boya BY-M1, since my channel is about graphics and programming tutorial, i am using the screen recording, soon planning to camera for my tutorials, thanks @Think Media for the Guidance.

[@SolowSports]

I love how relatable you made the budgeting to take these crucial steps. I have the best setup here as I'm barefoot and caffeine deprived, but soooooo worth it!!!

[@michaelionita]

Good Video. But a capture card will not work with the M50 because the M50 does not have a clean HDMI output feature. Instead you can use a USB Cable and the Canon Webcam Utility software from their website and it works (also on Mac).

[@SY-sp8uo]

Hey small youtuber! I know that you are trying your best! Never stop!

[@noobcoverssauceage2923]

Thanks!!! Same to you!!!❤🥺

I like roshies lol..my setup m50, iPhone 12 pro max, and go pro 7 black. Ring light and lav mic. ...for now that’s enough for me. Definitely want to grow my gear but with time no rush. Thanks for all the vids man.

[@1.5Koreans0.5American]

Audio is the most important part of the video. 👇Agree?

[@crazybrickz609]

Yes

[@AleXandruT]

Thank you very much for video and suggestions. By the way, do you know if there is any differences between the small microphone and a big one which some vloggers use also? (I mean for the same price). Thanks

[@joeking1956]

The Diety M50 ups the audio game definitely. No contest from the base device mic.

[@PimentelDelights]

I can't wait to use the Sigma 16 mm lens on my new M50 Mark II! If I am going to get this look, its a must! :) Thanks Omar.

[@TheLisaTorres]

Awesome tips. that middle would be a great way to start. AVLS is super important.

[@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 🤞

Is there an excellent camera that you would recommend for food photos and cooking videos?

[@PalabraViajera]

I am starting and still using an Android phone to record. I hope to improve soon. Thanks for your video. Greetings from a smart phone user.

[@kevorkyerevanian]

Thank you Omar! I appreciate the valuable information you have shared. Also, I like how you have summarised the 3 different setups, all in this same video. Very convenient. Excellent job :)

Omar's change of pace and tone from informative to goofy and joking has had me clicking back over to back up to catch it again. Curious about this videos viewer retention graph at those points.

[@nuaveb]

Hey bro I have a question the price of the A6600 and a GH5 is about the same price which would be a better option for a do it all type of camera. KZbin, making vids, starting a video biz. Thanks

[@DrVictoria]

Worth it to do the Sony a7c instead of a660?

[@nelsonsack2694]

Why did you choose the A6600 over the A7c? At three grand you might as well go all in with a camera you'll never out grow for years and can do double duty as a stills camera as well.

[@munenebrian997]

Just starting out also..recording with my phone but have learnt about audio..really helpful staff,,thanks think media,you're the best!

[@WanderingMonk]

Hope you are doing well, I have a query, on Sony ZV1 my shooting parameters are 4K 25 FPS & the shutter speed is 1/50. On shooting PAN shots (I have tried slow as well as fast panning) I am getting judder in my shots. Please advise how to overcome this. TIA.

[@SomethingMobile]

Okay so I have about $1,000 to spend on a camera. I'm thinking of the Canon M50 Mark II and the sigma 16 mm 1.4 aperture. I already have the a6100. I plan to stream and make videos with these cameras. Do you still recommend I get the a6600, and get the sigma 16 for that one when I have the money for the lens? I'll find another $400 for the a6600 if that is the best option.

[@lifebyrachel5507]

Always love to watch your videos. So informative n fun at the same time ~

This was a great video, so good that I came here to applause you 🙏🏼👏👏👏

What kind of camera would you guys recommend as a second camera for doing drum covers? I own a Canon M50 with a Sigma 16mm, but I want to use a second camera for a different angle. What kind of camera would you guys recommend?

[@JustinChavez91]

Is the Sony a6000 a decent camera to use ? That’s what I have I know it’s a bit older

Hey dude the lighting beginner kit is out of stock. What do you recommend instead of this one?

[@BoostAndRedline]

1:30 what’s the onboard mic on my mic? 😂 it was a good blooper not to share! By the way, this video is amazing, thank you for sharing! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@mariolapazan]

Very worth everything recommended here the samson and dietey v lav ,I personally buy all for 200 dollars you have a studio sound light video home

[@theandradelimited7809]

I like the microphone but I think you should attach a microphone on the camera it sound better for the m50 in my opinion

[@jasonmelchert155]

I think it’s worth noting on the $1000 kit that you’ll need to get the m50 mark ii to get clean hdmi out. The mark I is cheaper but you’ll have to use the canon webcam utility or 3rd party software. SL3 has clean hdmi, I believe.

[@ArgeenSteveCarr]

Nice set up. The mic is very helpful to level up filming. Thank you

[@homevalueswithbrent7381]

Omar, I have been using a teleprompter on my phone. How do you use a teleprompter with one of these two cameras?

Thanks Omar. Nice AP by the way! Do you think A6000 will be enough for video? That's the camera I currently have. Thanks a lot

Most people think that audio is secondary, but it is most important.

[@iparibae]

GUYS!!! THINK MEDIA TEAM!!! Im struggling here 😞 bought the sony a6400 with sigma 30mm 1.4 lens. The skin looks so harsh, way too detailed, no realistic. How do i fix this? Switched from canon, & the overall look of the canon was so much more softer and the colors were better (imo) & it was aesthetically pleasing. Im seeing your skin here and it looked amazing. What do you guys do? 😞

do you plug in the diety right into the phone so theres a cord hanging between you and the phone camera following you?

What should I buy a6400 camera with out any lens/no kit lens or an m50 with a kit lens?.

[@javiervasquez1026]

My question is... So you hook up the mic to your phone for audio what software do you use or how do you get that audio in your video if your using a camera to shoot the video?

[@littlebritian2822]

Can you do a review on the EOS RP? And light weight prim lenses i.e rf35, nifty fifty, rf85? For video/vlogging/pictures? (Lens that does both not just 1 or the other) cheers

[@SeanDIY]

I recommend the Boya BY-M1 instead because it's less expensive.

[@christaalbrecht67]

Great tips. But you don't need to buy the Camlink with Canon cameras. Canon makes a free web utility that allows you to use the cameras as webcams. Works really well.

[@VinnyBully]

Can you discuss what editing programs you use.

[@Mreclectables]

Ok... now the 3k setup seems pretty damn good... what if our budget is 6-7k? Would you just upgrade the mics to Shure sm7b and the camera to Sony A7siii or keep the Sony a6600?

What is the best wireless earbud microphone combo for recording video on my laptop? I am a travelling art instructor that needs to use zoom while livestreaming. Rather, what would be the optimal solution for someone like me who needs to hear and talk with online students and also have the ability to be hands free and move around? I had a bluetooth earbud microphone and it was great but it didn't last - battery life stopped working. I need a better quality product. And it's overwhelming to try to find it online with so many products out there to choose from.
