Equipment for a YouTube CAD Channel - Joilcan Mini Tripod for Camera

[@PTC_Creo]

I have a more fundamental question that wasn't covered in this video and I don't think was covered in your other videos, but I think it'd be instructional to your audience to have you speak to it: The point of having a tripod / camera is to film yourself. For a KZbin CAD channel, what are the benefits of having the camera on you at some points and not have the footage solely focused on the computer screen? (And you wouldn't be using a camera on the screen anyway, that's what screen-recording software is for.)

I am glad you asked that. I am planning a video to cover that in the future. I will discuss why off-camera is so much easier. But if you check out Lars Christiansen's Fusion 360 videos, I find that he adds a lot by being on camera as he's demonstrating. Same with Dr. Pat Heffernan's Mathcad videos. I am so impressed by both those channels. It's one way for people to go, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it for beginners.

@@CADPLMGuy But they cannot have your diction!

@nabeelk Thanks. But I really like the work that @cadcamstuff and @PatJHeffernan do. They set a high bar for CAD and Mathcad channels with their quality.
