[@ShaytoyaMarie]

No right now I am just using basic equipment either my laptop or phone. The first thing I would like to invest in is a microphone

[@ChristianMercadoAcevedo]

this is simple and elegant

[@-KingOfKhaos]

I think for the vast majority of KZbinr’s, especially those just starting out, or those on a budget, this is as basic (and yet still moderately advanced) as it gets while providing an excellent audio-visual end product! I assure you there are new Tubers that will watch this, learn the basic set-up needed for lighting and sound, and it will boost their production quality ten-fold. I tend to do mostly audio narrations on my channels, but when I do on camera presentations, this is essentially a similar rig to how I run mine. I use a different mic and such, but that’s what makes this a fun platform. So many variations to make channels unique. That’s what we really need is more creative setups so that we don’t end up with carbon copypasta everywhere 🤣 I will keep saying this… your channel is invaluable to new-to-moderately advanced content creators. Always excellent content / advice / tips / tricks / planning methods.

[@MikesVlogss]

@omareltakrori @Think Media Great video btw! Only question i have is, what Month/Year is displayed on your wall calendar? :P

[@DavesDimension]

do i like it? its ok....i have limited space...and make do we what i have...not much

[@Aljalil]

Please never stop this PLEASE. You are one of the only creators helping people how don’t have $40k to spend on equipment. Thank u

[@moy3804]

You spend nearly 2K to be exact if you follow this

[@GospelMusicBuzz]

Yes!!!!

[@Naeemvlogss]

This is what i wanted to write really

[@MasterboxProduction]

​@@moy3804yep but he is quite clear about what are the most important parts in this setting, the mic and the key light, which are not that expensive.

[@DENNISLOPEZINC]

I agree

[@raynichol8959]

Excellent video. I am 77 years old and I had a career in commercial photography and then a second career teaching photography and studio portraiture. You are spot on with your lighting set up. Front lighting, rim hair lighting, accent background lighting and a good lighting ratio on your face. If Joseph Karsh was alive the famous premiere portrait photographer who made the famous shot of Winston Churchill was alive, he would give you two thumbs up. Thanks for all the tech info also. 👍👍

[@usmvnjaved]

This is a pure studio of "Less is More". I love how Omar explains to minimize the setup so there's always no friction between you and the record button.

[@HollyJaneYT]

The way you guys don't gate-keep ANYTHING in relation to your set up has me coming back every time for recommendations!! Absolutely loved this video, thanks Omar.

[@Siamtarawallie]

As a new KZbinr, this video was very helpful. I love the fact that it was straight to the point and no extra fluff. Thank you 🙏🏿

[@JamiePerkins]

the snoot with the window light is so dope!

[@reneewoods6232]

When I looked at the link, I can’t see where it describes that capability? I loved it

[@richardpellis]

Two words: Top Tier Love the cleanliness and simplicity of your set up. It's amazing how tech has evolved over past few years for creators, but alas, I've yet to "push record."

[@dna8269]

Definitely need that video on how you use your small space for multiple angles! Please!! These videos and the studio transformations are SUPER helpful

[@andystephens2871]

One thing I've not heard from any of the YT video trainers is the parallel cameras they have running to make jump cuts during a regular video. I know you called out the fact that you're using a second camera to show your studio in this video, but a separate video about 2nd camera/phones and jump cut strategies for recording yourself from different angles while you talk would be a huge help.

[@lyleweberKingdom_related]

Agreed! That would be awesome!

[@therealaboutentrepreneurship]

Yes, this would be awesome!

[@jjn6914]

So glad the algorithm recommended your video! I'm thinking about content creating again after I quit YT 5 years ago even though my channel back then was slowly growing with 1 of my vids getting close to 100K views. Your setup is inspiring--thank you!

[@avneet2.0]

All the lights together give a cozy and welcoming feeling! If one was missing, it just wouldn't be the same. Nice video! :)

[@-KingOfKhaos]

Think Media is probably the best channel there is for KZbin tips! The quality of their content is off-the-charts amazing! 😁

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thank you! ❤️

[@Y-i4]

I respect that Omar because you giving out the sauce that nobody share on KZbin thank you I really respect that

[@mehditate]

I just started my channel and uploaded my first 6 videos. This is literally a dream studio setup, looking forward to slowly build one as I grow

[@alphamoneyacademy]

Simple and straightforward beats complicated and convoluted. Every day of the week. Love your super short intro: "You gotta just press record!" That's what we need.

[@becomingyoutuberspodcast711]

Love this! We basically use a KZbin setup for a podcast and it doesn't look too bad!

[@OverNoobin]

Saved this to my KZbin research playlist! I struggle with a small office that I also have to telework from, bad sound, & not-great lighting. This sort of set up looks ideal!

[@vinceliu605]

This is THE video I'm looking for! Just need a simple setup to start recording. Less traction to hit that record button. Not to be overwhelmed by 10 different lenses and 200 different lighting setups. So thank you!

[@rychusandbonita]

Thank you for sharing this. This goes to show that you don't need to have expensive gear to make a simple yet effective video. Thank you for the tip on the start and stop remote as this may be something I will look into in the near future.

[@mcmaschio]

Gonna order the Sony ZV - 1 as my first proper camera after Making KZbin videos for more than a year .. seems like the best deal in my price range 🤞Exciting and Scary 🥹

[@helpmereach45ksubswithoutvideo]

These videos makes our days better

[@ThePamelaJordan]

I would love to see a CANON m50 settings video…. I purchased based on Think Media recommendations but have had difficulty setting up

[@kevinkenell]

This definitely inspired me when creating my first ever KZbin setup, I just did it as my first video & the results were magnificent. Thanks for inspiring!!😍

[@jeremymhlanga7236]

Give us the link so we support your channel

[@kevinkenell]

@@jeremymhlanga7236 Thank you Jeremy, it's on my channel if you wanna check it out.😃

[@breveganlyfe]

haha just realized I subbed to your channel already and remember you did mention that in one of your videos lol

[@jasunto]

Yeah, you killed it with this one. Since your video was shot so well in terms of audio/video, I feel like the things you talked about were true and a good guideline to follow! Thanks for this great video.

[@wot_noobclown5621]

I love that you pop some quick reference pics to the products during the video

[@MaggieMagnoli]

lighting makes SUCH a difference in video quality. Definitely saving this to work on for my future videos! Thanks for sharing.

[@houstonsheltonbees814]

Thanks, I can't wait till I'm able to upgrade my setup. Good health and God bless

[@FamilyInvestments]

Thank you Omar! Appreciate your hard work helping us low count KZbinrs

[@skidhookroll]

Man you have a lot of good tips in this vid. Even if you don't have a Sony, just great things to recognize about making life easier. Thanks!

[@HOAKALEISASAOKA]

This is awesome!! Do you have another video for a podcast setup for a group of 4 people?? Would love to know how you setup a podcast room for a group of 4 people!

[@sandravhg]

You’re always blowing my mind. I second the comment from @Aljalil NEVER STOP making these videos! So helpful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@BGMK]

I have the Sony ZV-e10 and my question is, what video settings do you use to record? I’m a beginner so idk what some of these settings even mean..

[@Sera_Vaz]

Omar, I love the way you talk! So crisp yet in depth! ⭐💯

[@stickynickyt]

This video is the gift that keeps on giving, omarel, thank you man!!

[@MeemaMcLivingHealthy]

Thanks for all of the lighting details. I struggle with that aspect of my videos each time.

[@therealaboutentrepreneurship]

Same here

[@bealaart]

Oh my goodness, I think you just solved my problems! I have recently started a KZbin art channel and I just can't live with the subpar equipment I have been making do with for my instagram reels. It's time to upgrade and I keep making unsatisfactory purchases trying to find the right equipment. It's frustrating and overwhelming. Your crisp sound and lighting is my goal and I just haven't been able to make it happen even with tremendous effort. Making some purchases today!! Thank you so much!

[@bealaart]

What is the mic cover you have on the mic that's attached to desk arm? Thanks again.

[@AndrewMai]

YES to the office tour on filming 3 angles!

[@yomi3099]

Omar you always do the best videos. You do all sets of gear and layouts and you also use simplified/minimal gear. I appreciate you laying out distance of mic and camera as well. Keep up the good work

[@thegodnasr]

Omar and Think Media always giving value❤️

[@ieshaschreiner2]

OMMMMAAARRR! Thank you. Came here from that Sony ZV E10 settings video. I'm getting that Amaran Light!

[@zephyrkhambatta]

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SUPER "CRISPY". Man as an engineering student who dropped out to pursue music and also did the best at music production (as opposed to the other parts of music like theory - no surprises there), I can really appreciate all these small kinks and strategies to take s*** to the next level. It's called going the extra mile and it is definitely not lost on me. Looking at my financial situation currently though... one step at a time. For now imma just churn out as much value as I can from my mom's study room which you see in my latest videos, my iphone 4k videos, a 15 dollar dynamic mic I bought during arts school for the backup singers in my recitals, and my music production knowledge. But I love you guys and I've saved this video. SUPER CRISPY!!!! Did I mention my daughter likes potato chips? Sorry... dad joke.

[@panacheluxury4262]

Love the set-up, Omar. I have always been impressed with the clarity, "crispness, " of Think Media's videos and this one did not disappoint. Thank you for all the information on your studio set-up.

[@Alessandro1983]

I'm slowly building my studio. I have 2 lighting kits My laptop hooked to 2 monitors ( waiting on my cannon powershot SX720 to arrive ) My go pro camera My cell phone My stand adjustable desk My gaming seat I'll be installing audacity and OBS to my laptop too Now I will need some ideas to start my you channel and podcast. I appreciate all that you do for the viewers. *** I like your set up by the way ****

[@ankitparker7234]

Gave me the office. I like your setup dude just wow 😮😳😳

[@ChyyLee]

Love all your videos. You’ve helped me so much. And yes. Ya boy drippy with the lights though! Haha

[@dreamproject1069]

I love the way you explained every stuff, simple and precised

[@rev.tylermallari3899]

A man's day is typically filled with a variety of tasks and activities, ranging from work and family obligations to leisure activities. It is important for a man to prioritize his tasks and manage his time effectively in order to ensure that he is able to accomplish everything he needs to throughout the day.

[@shilohbell1573]

Nice! Very helpful, I really like your background decor too. Such an underrated detail people don’t talk about in the tutorials.

[@lesevans3178]

Thank you so much! These videos inspire me and also I’m so thankful that you and your team share the secret sauces. That’s why we follow you!

[@thetruckerskitchen772]

Last year, I bought the multi arm mic boom you suggested. I use it in the semi and have had zero problems with it.

[@jaydp25]

Thank you Omar for showing this setup. It's simple and easy to understand.

[@nickcordon8751]

I just bought a handful of these items from your link. Fantastic vid! Quick question, how are you securing your mic on the mike arm? It looks like some type of clamp? Can you link it hear?

[@terrancekayton007]

I wouldn’t call this setup simple….but it’s very good. Thanks for sharing knowledge, skills, experience and doing all of this work to put it out to the world

[@YuProducciones]

yeah, not simple at all, he has a lot a of cool shit😅

[@proudlyselfmadeblog]

The best as usual! Explanation , showing how everything looks/works, thank you 👍😊

[@adacanada]

Hi @ThinkMedia, please could you make a video on how to set up the sigma lens??? I would like to purchase the sigma 16mm f1.4 lens for my canon camera but there is a lot I see online about using a software to program it and adjust the focus of the lens before actually using the lens to make a video. Please could you help with that? Or do I just buy and use out of the box? I’d really like to get the sigma but what hinders me is how to program the lens.

[@TheDilligan]

Most well done lighting break down I’ve found so far.

[@QuinnsRC]

What a great info video. I don't have the budget for this budget setup, but I'm saving it to watch later when I have more space and money. Really a great presentation showing the effects of the lighting being off/on without too much explanation. Thanks!

[@ScaleTippers]

That's 8 minutes well spent. Thanks for the advice. I'm replicating this setup for our channel!

[@Babalola683]

Thanks so much. I am glad because you guys have inspired me to level up my audio and I am indeed super grateful. Thanks Omar and I have never regretted watching your videos and taking notes. I am even making a video on that soon too. All thanks to you

[@the5rbeats42]

Always watch ur videos whenever I need help you help out a lot thank you

[@benfogelgren]

7:03 my man started just making up words "this light has a snoot which allows me to put a gobo"

[@BeforeThisNovember]

Me and a couple friends want to make a podcast/game streaming channel - all in one. Budget isn’t a major issue. Anyway, here’s the equipment I have ordered yesterday: Elgato HD60x Samson Q9U x2 Rode PSA1 mic stand x2 Rodecaster Pro II (working on ordering lighting asap) I have a 2020 Mac and a PS5. What else do you recommend me getting? FYI it’s just a hobby at this point - I’m mostly doing it to bring my friends together because life has us drifting these days and I’ve managed to get them to agree to making a video once a week. Genuinely when we are together, we usually end up in tears laughing - so if we can make at least 1 other person laugh that’d be great - and if the channel (God willing) ever takes off then that’s just a HUGE bonus (don’t expect it to or particularly need it to, I just wanna hang out with the squad 🤍)

[@BracketReviews]

Thanks, Boss. Please share more...

[@hinfinity]

I love these types of videos thank you I just upgraded my light set up

[@TheCreditFrog]

Great update video for studio setups! Thank you!

[@AuthenTech]

It's a great clean setup, love it!

[@Tammy_wit_a_y]

Wow! I need to get on your level!!! Geeze I’m a baby beginner you know your stuff

[@natefromhome]

Gotta love the December 2020 calendar back there 😂😊👏🏼

[@TechTalkBytes]

Hi Omar, Thanks for sharing this. I am about to start a channel and this video really helped me to plan the studio setup. I will find something cheaper in my conutry and set up something like this for a good quality video. Thanks again.

[@Hofology]

I love these studio BTS videos with inspirational light setups for spare rooms or small offices

[@GamerReality]

That's a fake window light!? You already had my jaw dropping with that crazy ceiling mounting system!

[@PakYanaNi]

Nice setup, but i think i need to make a DIY lighting LOL

[@UXInMyTightPants]

Thank you for sharing the details of this video. I'd say very effective.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Brilliant !

[@OYOKO]

What a great video! Lighting really transforms the entire video, I need to start investing in equipment. I try to film during the day to avoid this issue. Thank you for these tips!

[@ehalawaimai]

Omar!!! 🔥🔥🔥 This thumbnail!!

[@MelvinAlc]

Omar you always crush it this great videos man...

[@321lightscamera]

Yes I love the setup . I need a list of what I need for this setup

[@BenTheCuber]

You and VidIQ gave me great tips that led to me getting verified! Thank you!!

[@ziiko5966]

Hey Think Medie thank you for this beautiful video 🤩 l was wondering the Thumbnail one of your videos with blue background how you make it!

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Instead of the Varipole, Use box store conduit and slip in ends- all for about $20 !

[@creolemac211]

Great information. So it’s about $2500-$3000 set up WHOA! 😳

[@gregorykerns378]

"Drippy, crispy!' Thanks for the great info! You just earned a new subscriber.

[@_Cryptotruth_]

Great info, we’ll shot organized, entertaining & professional. Appreciate your contribution to this community. I’ve been encouraged by many, colleagues, friends, clients, other KZbin influencers to start a channel. They think I have something important to share. But, I’m reluctant because I’m not good looking, dynamic, enthusiastic or experienced. That’s a lot of things to overcome & if there was anyone out there talking about my perspective on things, it would be much easier to go on about my life. If I do this, my ego won’t let me make some poorly lite, shot, recorded, edited & presented hot mess! Period! I’m subscribing to your channel because off all the channels I’ve spent the last month looking & listening to on the subject of KZbin videos, yours is the best! I’m just sayin…

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

This is fantastic! informative and concise. Easy to listen to and learn and the links are very helpful! thank you

[@JessicaDudas]

Love the impact varipoles!!! 🔥 Especially when working in smaller spaces!

[@DavePorterBand]

Love your videos and I'd like to add a rim light to my setup. How are you clamping the GVM light to the Varipole? Thanks!

[@GadgetBox]

Very interesting and inspiring video, thank you!

[@Rapha_Carpio]

one of the things I love about this video is that hes using eyeglasses but you don't see the reflection on it

[@MaryAliceFarinasChannel]

Looks amaze!! The varipoles are sold out on Amazon now, if you want to send us to another one!

[@followmemovebooks]

my new house i will it my office and studio (and it holds my books, what is my topic in most video´s and when i have guests it will my guestroom) so im thinking what i want, and different backdrops. but i was thinking about how to do the lighting, i have know a few ideas how to do that. Love this video because it shows my vision is possible!

[@JenniferCanali]

So much information in 8 minutes!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@Seekinghimeveryday]

This video is great!! And I was so happy when I saw your using the camera I actually plan on purchasing next!! Xx do you have the camera settings for your setup?
