EASY DIY Ceiling Mounted Camera and Lighting Rig / Setup for Studio - YouTube Videographer

[@TimotheeReacts]

Do you have links to the LIGHTING SPIGOT ADAPTER and the clamp you used

[@RobinSampsonMcCarthy]

Thanks. I have a 12-foot ceiling so I'm trying to figure out a wall-to-wall pipe solution.

[@otter-pro]

I recommend using zip ties as "safeties" for the lights that hang on the pole, just in case the clamp fails/loosens.

[@tr3nDmaker]

Good tip… thanks!

[@TG-Maverick22]

Wow your set up is amazing. Thank you so much for this DIY. Exactly what i was looking for. 10/10

[@MattMendians]

This is great! I’m watching videos cause I have a small room with a drum set. Researching ideas to try something like this so I can have a overhead shot and mount my two lights? Also maybe my two overhead microphones to clear up walking space. Great idea!

[@lkrulik]

Been looking for solution like this for a basement stage setup. Can this rig hold multiple stage lights, etc? Thinking of this as a truss.

[@Arouth249]

Great tips on the paint! I’ll have to try that

[@tr3nDmaker]

Be sure to let fully dry before you clamp on it… usually 2 days for clear to get nice and hard.

[@rockerslosangeles4184]

Nice work buddy.

[@tr3nDmaker]

Thanks 👍

[@wdavis876]

Good job. With the GVM mounted lights did you find that you still needed the floor lights? The 2 mounted GVM didn't do the job? I'm asking because I was planning to get 2 GVM lights to mount and do away with the floor stands altogether.

[@tr3nDmaker]

Great question…. You could easily get away with just 2 mounted, if you set them in front of you or off to sides. I use the 2 mount back a bit to light up table or to add color to back wall. 2 cheaper bi color lights on stands forward of me to light up face and anything in hand to show. I was planning another mounted pole for the 2 front lights… just not in my way like the others were.., so, just living with it.

[@RobertGossCreator]

overall nice job I just installed a support pole as well but in my home studio I have a ceiling light so my main power is pluged in so I don't have any wires running down the wall. Saved a lot of money for sure

[@tr3nDmaker]

Very cool. It has been the best thing for my office/ studio ever!

[@lexasakie8107]

Probably the best setup I've seen so far. Thanks!

[@tr3nDmaker]

Game change for me... I love the setup. Added a Magic Arm with Camera Mount... and pulling camera off or repositioning is super easy. Thanks.

[@lexasakie8107]

@@tr3nDmaker Nice! I'd love to see any more upgrades!

[@pineappleparadox7064]

Fantastic explanation of your setup. Thanks!

[@tr3nDmaker]

Thank you. I added the Magic Arms and this setup is so worth the effort.

[@themoonbreonchannel]

Wow this is amazing!! We are definitely going to be creating this!

[@tr3nDmaker]

Thanks for watching!

[@DutchUltra]

well done man. how tall are your ceilings? mine are 8 Feet. I need to try this!

[@tr3nDmaker]

7 1/2 FEET. Absolutely Best Upgrade for my KZbin Studio EVER! I did add a Magic Arm and Quick Release which take project to NEXT LEVEL!

[@KristianPage]

Great video, exactly what I was looking for.

[@tr3nDmaker]

Thanks.

[@victoriab3704]

What clamp is it you use for your GVM light im trying to mount mine and dk if i should buy a camera wall mount or do this idea.

[@robertvasi]

Very good advice! Thank you

[@tr3nDmaker]

Glad you found it helpful.

[@digitalsolutionsZA]

Very nice idea.

[@tr3nDmaker]

I added some Magic Arms and now this system is truly amazing as the camera and lighting mounts are rock solid. Also, quick release mount for cameras, so I can pop off camera for B roll. Life Changer!

[@meganosbornharrell2769]

Amazing! We are totally going to do this! Thank you!!

[@tr3nDmaker]

It is so worth the time... made my life sooooo much easier!

[@meganosbornharrell2769]

We bought all the stuff, installed it today and WOW. No more tripping over tripods! Thanks again!

[@tr3nDmaker]

@@meganosbornharrell2769 So glad it worked out for you. By the way... The Magic Arms are AMAZING!

[@SwaySkits]

This is the exact same thing I learned when I was in high school studying A/V. I needed a reminder and saw your video. Thank you for making this video.

[@tr3nDmaker]

Best project I ever did for my home studio!

[@SweetChariotOfFire]

Great idea! I've been scrambling to find a new solution for my future office that's a lot smaller than my current one, so this would help in freeing up space. Thanks!

[@tr3nDmaker]

This is by far the best upgrade I have done for my studio! By the way... I added the magic arms and not it is even better.

[@SweetChariotOfFire]

@@tr3nDmaker which Magic arms did you get? Would you mind linking them? That’s a great upgrade!

[@jodifriedman9864]

I wish I was handy enough to make this.

[@tr3nDmaker]

It is not that difficult… thanks for watching.

[@Pikmeir]

Great idea putting everything on the ceiling. I've had some bad luck with several of those SmallRig clamps, so I'd recommend something like the Manfrotto 035 Super Clamp instead - much stronger and you won't have to clamp down as hard but they hold better.

[@tr3nDmaker]

Agreed. The SmallRIg clamps are working well for my setup, but pushing it.. However, I just bought the IMPACT Friction Clamp, which is exact design of Manfrotto Magic Arm for 1/2 price and a better camera mount so I remove it a nd put it back easily.. Video coming soon.

[@bigrod246]

Can I use anchors if I don’t find stud?

[@tr3nDmaker]

I would definitely try to get a stud… anchors do not have the holding strength needed. With constant adjustments of equipment… they will fail and destroy your equipment or your head! Just adjust your length till you get a stud. You will be much better off.

[@3dnatee]

Thank you soo much!!!

[@tr3nDmaker]

You are welcome.

[@cheryldeneve1059]

I'm looking for a mounted lighting solution for portrait photography -- I want to light a white backdrop to true white so need to light it separately from the subject. Do you think this setup would work? Have you used this setup for that purpose?

[@tr3nDmaker]

I think it will work… the key will be distance from wall and location of subject. I would test holding lights or using stands to test mounting height, distance from wall and subject.

[@kristyzheng4789]

Hi ,if possible do you like to review the teleprompter ?

[@tr3nDmaker]

I do plan on reviewing the Andycine A6 Pro... just like to use the product a bit first. I already did un-boxing portion of review with this new ceiling mount setup.

[@jaavedfilms8172]

how did you mount the power supply to that pole.

[@tr3nDmaker]

I designed and now sell a mount to work with these lights and others that mounts to tripod. Because its a flexible material... it clip nicely on the 1" bar for this over-head setup. Email me at [e-mail] if you want some prices. Be sure to include: City, State and Country.

[@alexdetessieres4246]

If your asking about the power strip… just a few zip ties.

[@VELVET462]

I've been looking for a solution like this for my studio for a while now, but the problem for me is that it's the attic. I'm looking for something to mount the rod on the left and right sloping roof..

[@tr3nDmaker]

In stead of 90 degree fittings on main pipe… could try 45 or 30 if you can find them.

[@stochasticagency]

10 feet of 3/4 inch electrical conduit $10. Two 3/4 inch electrical conduit standoffs. Two 5-inch pieces of PVC. Two 6-inch Black Ecoat Flat-Head Exterior Structural Wood Screws. All are mounted to studs. Total cost $38.56.

[@tr3nDmaker]

PVC??? Please be careful! I used steel pipe, that I could do pull-ups off of… not PVC. Cameras and lighting are heavy and expensive.

[@brianblather]

@@tr3nDmaker Think about the parts list and how they would be used. The 10 feet of 3/4 inch electrical conduit is the cross beam. The Two 5-inch pieces of PVC are spacers between the standoffs and the ceiling. A full 1 inch of the Black Ecoat Flat-Head Exterior Structural Wood Screws has been enough to hold ~250 lbs of lights and cameras on my ceiling for three years.

[@tr3nDmaker]

@@brianblather Sounds like you got it... Just didn't want you to build a PVC ceiling rig that would smash your gear or drop on your head... It's KZbin... some people should not be building stuff like this. Glad you have a good rig though. Thanks for watching!

[@AaronNovak1]

You look like Paul Reiser.

[@Pterodactyl-kn3ve]

Change your main lighting ratio. 1:1 is so old school, give yourself some character, depth, drama.

[@alvart8308]

Ironic how this is your last video? Is a huge studio upgrade 🫠
