I have a LumeCube lighting kit as well! Such great quality.

[@sarabeth5540]

Thanks for the great tips 👍

[@mvulakazindiki7050]

Thank you. Certainly, what I needed.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Lumecube has fantastic products, from a single led to multiple leds!

[@onlineteacherdude1284]

Great video! I will check out Lumcube - wonder if I can get Lumcube in Malaysia....Great ideas for equipment. I also bought the Tribit Bluetooth and now I might check out the ear buds.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Hello Kuala Lumpur!

[@MichaelVenn]

Thanks Tim! Not sure about shipping to Malaysia but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an option.

[@laurarisdallminnesotateach4914]

Thanks for the Lumecube recommendation. I'm going to look into it. I've tried a few different lights (ring light, spotlights, lamps), but a lot of them give me headaches. I also like that they're USB. Thanks, Michael! Happy teaching!

[@MichaelVenn]

I hope it works for you. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 🙂

[@ayeshahafeez7712]

I was wondering if anyone tried the tribit fly buds and had any trouble with the other side hearing them. I am not sure if I need to purchase the headset that comes with the mic instead. Btw, thanks for the awesome video!

[@notablynancy5593]

Great video Michael! I have a standup ring light, but it seems harsh even though it has yellow to bright white adjustments. My lighting is o.k., not by any means wow. I've been teaching online for almost 4 years and really looking to perfect my lighting. It's like I can't get it exactly as I want. Thanks for the tips, I will be looking into it. Very helpful! Notably Nancy :)

[@MichaelVenn]

It’s taken me a lot of trial and error to get my lighting dialled in as well. Thanks for watching and good luck figuring it out 🙂

[@KrisAndLarry]

As always, GREAT information, Michael! THANK YOU! (Teacher KrisAZ at VIPKid and a fellow youtuber!)

[@MichaelVenn]

Thank you so much, I appreciate you stopping by 🙌

[@emilylarranaga2267]

Thanks for the lighting recommendation! I do have a question, does the suction cup feature seem to stay on your computer? After doing some research, that seems to be the only complaint for the Lumecube.

[@MichaelVenn]

To be honest it has fallen off a few times but I make due. That’s why I love the little tripod that comes with the broadcast lighting kit 🙂

[@mariabowie1838]

Do you have the Broadcast Lighting Kit with the tripod or the Video Conference Light with the suction cup? Is there a difference between the light cubes that come in either the BKL or VCL?

[@MichaelVenn]

Hi Maria - I have both and featured both in this video. The Broadcast Lighting Kit has a slightly larger light, comes with the suction mount AND tripod with a 360 degree ball head swivel to angle your light wherever you need. The Video Conference Light is slightly smaller and comes with the suction mount (no tripod). I've used both and love both so it's a matter of your personal budget and needs. Hope that helps :)

[@waitaminute2015]

Great video. I'm just in the process of considering teaching on line. Can you tell me if I would need a laptop with windows, or is it possible to perform without it?

[@MichaelVenn]

Thanks! Windows works, also Macs. Some companies allow teaching from a tablet but not all. It just depends where or for who you want to teach

[@waitaminute2015]

@@MichaelVenn so preferably I should purchase more than just a chromebook? Thanks for your help. Most likely on line teaching and learning.

[@soniateach]

What kind of camera do you use to record your videos?

[@MichaelVenn]

Canon 70D 👍

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Today’s products can be used by people in all fields who just want to look and sound their best on camera, whether it’s for business or for just pleasure.

[@MichaelVenn]

Very true!
