[@Redlegwar]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jesusinablackman2675]

I’m so getting this !

[@pishimwe]

Thanks for sharing the gear for starters

[@TheStudioBusiness]

No problem! This setup checks all of the boxes for the money.

[@BrianMackey2010]

Loved it :)

[@TrueNorf]

Great video! What's the tune playing at 1.03?

[@cuSTEMJourneys]

Thanks for sharing! I love Riverside. Camo is another option for converting your phone into a webcam

[@TheStudioBusiness]

Of course, glad you liked it. Thanks for the tip and comment!

[@marhoomtv7211]

Congratulation

[@NadimALMallah]

thx for the video , but how u add the sound when u use the iphone ?

[@TheStudioBusiness]

Within riverside you can set the CAMERA to be the iphone and the audio to come from the mixer. if you are just using an iphone only, you can set the audio to come from the iphone as well (but I would not recommend that). IF you do be sure to use Riverside's Magic Audio tool to make it better!

[@adppod]

Really interested in integrating Riverside as a part of our podcast studio. Do you recommend the Pro plan or Business plan?

[@TheStudioBusiness]

Pro would be perfectly fine starting out. We are on the Pro plan ourselves. Riverside, sponsorship aside, has been a great partner for our remote podcasts and they continue to add new features and improve their offering.

[@adppod]

@@TheStudioBusiness Thanks so much..appreciate the feedback.

[@CertifiedCryptoBoy]

How would you add a second camera angle to this setup?

[@TheStudioBusiness]

Good question! I have yet to try it out, but my guess is you could also join riverside as a guest and use another cellphone or camera to do the other angle.

[@CertifiedCryptoBoy]

@@TheStudioBusiness my guess is that the guest camera would have to join with no audio to avoid feedback/echo. What do you think?

[@GregTurismo]

You can always go cheaper, but this setup does seem awesome. I want mine to be way more portable and I'm planning to use Wireless Go 2's with Interview Go handhelds, and a camera on a tripod. And maybe if it takes off, I can get another camera and then another, and travel to outdoor shooting locations for my show or in their locations so every interaction with a guest is unique.

[@TheStudioBusiness]

I think that's a good idea! Wireless go's are great and we use them for various things when we are out of the studio. If you start with one camera, you can work your way up to a second one and use that second one as your roaming camera and just alter between guests (would require an operator though)

[@GregTurismo]

@@TheStudioBusiness thank you! I’m trying to decide on the camera right now. I just made a list of everything that needs to happen first before recording my first episode, and it feels much more achievable now especially with videos like yours to help.

[@zreza]

Very basic info. no info about how to cable connect to camera and mic. about how to connect to compiter. How about mullti camera environment. I wish it was a technically rich conrent.

[@TheStudioBusiness]

We wanted to keep this video more basic based on the title and audience we were going after. We do discuss how to pair it with the camera and how to plug it into a computer. We have more advanced videos on the channel if you want to look into more complex setups!
