The Ultimate YouTube Studio on ONE STAND!

[@ozlemguler8687]

Love the black and white video. Direct, to the point. Thankyou for a helpful video - I'm trawling through many gear videos but there aren't many showing ways to actually rig it together!

[@NathanElson]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ElBeeEss]

I've watched quite a few of these 'one stand' set-ups and I think yours is the one I'm going to try to replicate. It's great!

[@lightexplorer]

I found the black and white very difficult to watch but overall great informative video. You can actually reposition the camera quickly on any other stand if you mount the super clamp to the risers. The thing you get with other stands is a much sturdier stand.

[@TheThinkersBible]

Fantastic. It's a real pleasure and education to see how someone thoughtful can take a truly great idea and make it even better. Kudos, and thanks for sharing this, I'm looking for exactly this kind of setup and plan to try it.

[@NathanElson]

Awesome. Let me know how it works out for ya!

[@TheThinkersBible]

@@NathanElson I will, thanks! Quick question, what is the microphone arm you used? I'm having trouble finding one that doesn't have to attach to a desk and can attach to those grip arms that come with the stand. I'm using a Rode VideoMic NTG. Any recommendations?

[@TerrenRule]

Fantastic video. I'm a Tech Creator, and I have a make-shift stand that I made following Caleb's video, but it was never as easy and clean to use as I would have liked. I purchased this instantly after watching your video; thank you! I'm so excited.

[@NathanElson]

Awesome, thank you!

[@EdwardKilner]

I always like this sort of rig how-to. This looks heavy duty and stable. I like it.

[@NathanElson]

It really is both. Huge fan of how sturdy it is, yet crazy easy to use.

[@ThePodcastStudioMiltonKeynes]

Awesome buddy! Why’s it in black and white though? I can’t see ur beautiful lighting oroperly😊

[@DarqChildNYC]

Thanks so much! This setup is so beautiful in its simplicity. I’ve followed Caleb and I love how he thinks outside the box and make s content that helps all other content creators. My only gripe with his original setup was the parts needed. Amazon (as all other suppliers) has changed so drastically and getting all of the parts at the right price has been a chore (not to mention stock issues). This is simple, integrates well and all from one supplier basically. I love it! Just ordered my stand and spigots and got a great price for Black Friday! Keep up the excellent work!

[@NathanElson]

Awesome. Ya having it all in a one stop shop is nice for sure, and honestly using it has been so much easier than messing with grip gear. Hope you enjoy it!

[@DarqChildNYC]

Ordered mine using your link yesterday and it’s already on its way!

[@joeriley192]

I like how simple this was. Thanks for doing a video on it.

[@NathanElson]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheCovertCrow]

Well done my friend, just purchased, its on its way, thanks for the video and information, THAT"S me you described, wanted an easier way without grips etc...loved it, cant wait for it to arrive, should help me make content quickly. cheers mate

[@NathanElson]

Awesome! Let me know what you think of it when it arrives.

[@lefthandright01]

Youre studio is bigger than my house. Your coffee is bigger than my house. I'm happy for your success man. Well earned.

[@creditkd]

This is the best stand I’ve seen thank you.

[@IndiaDelgado]

Fantastic video. I have a full studio in my basement but have been contemplating adding something for my main floor. Love the sliding arms! And that Rode Mic sounds amazing! Thank you

[@MiffedRebob]

Nice variation of other builds. Throw an inverter pack on for extra versatility. Again nice simple build out.

[@NathanElson]

Thanks Randy. The simplicity is what I feel makes this setup stand out against the other options out there.

[@cocoscabana]

you had me hooked on the music.. came into my speakers separate.. Loved it.. lol..then stayed for the set up.. Im looking into that myself!!

[@NathanElson]

Haha a good beat goes a long way :)

[@andresjaime9634]

Amazing setup and incredible studio

[@Sintitulo-untitled]

Thanks Nathan for this video. I have used your link to buy my "STROBEPRO DUAL PISTOL GRIP ROLLER STAND"

[@alexellerman]

this vid is a brilliancy! love the stand

[@NathanElson]

Thanks Alex!

[@sonpois]

i have this lightstand. It's pretty amazing! Great setup

[@NathanElson]

Ya it works incredibly well.

[@bertusdebeer1]

Definitely the coolest one I've seen. 😎😎

[@kevinmaccormack9645]

Time to find out what kinda discount I can get on those Godox lights. My client zoom calls are gonna be lit! 😅 (I'm sorry I'll see myself out)

[@NathanElson]

Man I have quite the set for zoom meetings using this setup, and clients always notice :)

[@jonathanscheurich]

It's fascinating how a relatively small light source like the Godox FL150S gives such a soft light. Two years in after your build - would you do something different? Any modifications?

[@adrianomaffei]

Fantastic Nathan, thanks ...from Italy!

[@NathanElson]

Anytime! Cheers from Canada.

[@Narusoniku799]

Can you provide a product description of the 3 arms with pole sleeves? I already have a light stand but I want to find the arms you used or equivalent in Australia. Thanks.

[@cocoscabana]

I was thinking that also.. I found it on his first link listed above.. yikes. maybe they sell separate?

[@NathanElson]

Can't say that I have any idea what distributor would carry them. All the pieces should be linked in the description of the video.

[@ShamisTalib]

Love how you came in to show all someone goes through. This is what I'd like to avoid.

[@JonImperial]

Hey Nathan, awesome video! I'm trying to clean up my KZbin setup. Is there a way to add an extension grip at the top like Caleb's 42" extension arm? I want the ability to swing the light over. Thank you!

[@NathanElson]

We looked at pieces so make that possible but they were so expensive that it didn’t make sense. I’m sure there is something out there that can work but the way it’s built has worked great for me so far so I haven’t taken the time to look into it again.

[@JonImperial]

@@NathanElson thanks for the response! Do you think I can cut the top part a bit? My ceiling is literally 89” ish 😂 so it’s gonna be a tight fit.

[@NathanElson]

@@JonImperial Ya for sure, it's a hollow pipe, so cutting it down a little wouldn't be an issue.

[@bigmikeshusqvarna901advent6]

Excellent Nathan and I am a BIG supporter of Jesse @Strobepro. For me it's the photography version of Costco hahaha

[@NathanElson]

Haha ya Jesse and Strobepro are awesome.

[@TheCovertCrow]

Subbed mate! Thumbs up

[@NathanElson]

Thanks for the sub!

[@ThinkYourHealth]

Enjoyed this video and the simplicity of the set up.I am looking for a solution and have consumed countless hours looking at YT videos.Yours was the best solution so far.I have 2 questions and hope you can help. I would like to also add and over head camera for topdown shots ( ie overhead camera mount) & as well have the ability to see my self on a monitor or iPad.Can this be done with the set up you demonstrated? Any thoughts or advice?

[@NathanElson]

You could add another sliding grip and the cheap ball head (bit.ly/3xxUQkb) and that would give you a top down (I might steal that idea) and as far as adding a monitor, the grip arms have 1/4" screw mounts on the fronts and backs of them, so adding a monitor is easy.

[@ThinkYourHealth]

@@NathanElson Appreciate this.Thanks.

[@Indo_chef]

No sandbags? It’s that stable?

[@NathanElson]

Yep, the base is wide and low, it's never even hinted at becoming unstable.

[@g.allencook1051]

Great video! Dumb question: I have a DSLR, but I also like to use my iPhone sometimes. Is there an adapter that could facilitate this? Thanks so much!

[@NathanElson]

I'm sure you could find something but I don't know what direction to point you in :)

[@g.allencook1051]

@@NathanElson Well, thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it!

[@therealaboutentrepreneurship]

Great question! I’m looking for a single set up to use with an iPhone. Did you use this one or find another one?

[@GavinFuller]

Bro, what’s the diameter of the poles?

[@codymarsden]

Great job and take on this idea!

[@NathanElson]

Thanks!

[@EdwardKilner]

I think that is a nice light, but too pricey for me. The stand is not as expensive as I expected, especially with Black Friday discounts. Alas, all together, it’s more than I need. I still want one, best implementation I’ve yet seen.

[@NathanElson]

Ya the price for the stand is killer. Glad you like the way it was all put together.

[@gentlegnt]

Hi Edward. Other that the Australian photographer who has a younger female model help him (don't recall his name right now), who has a HUGE, HUGE pneumatic camera stand like this: Calumet Cambo UST Stand 9ft with Cambo Head, Tray, and Geared Arm ($1,800.00 US Dollars USED), I had to come up with another option. I had not seen this video by Nathan before searching for a DYI option (wish I had), but had accidentally come upon the movable arms and then my mind took over. Went to local hardware shop, got a 7 foot straight metal pipe (1 1/2 inch diameter, I think....would have to confirm) and used the legs from a traditional foldable C-stand (completely flat, not the kind that form a sorta "L" shape when opened), and secured that pipe in the center, used the movable arms from Flashpoint brand (3 actually) and they fit so perfectly. I use two for monitors-Ipad and Fire Tablet to tether wirelessly so I and model/subject can see real-time images as I shoot and review). Wheels already on stand purchased and I attached a few tri-head USB power adapters and some strong powerbanks to give me remote power if not indoors. LOVE this set-up. EXCEPT...very difficult to move around. 7 feet tall in my small Honda Fit?! Yeah, but...now trimmed it down to a mobile version. On taller orig version, I attach a C-Stand boom arm to it at the top and it holds an additional light and would have no problem holding an additional camera for your top-down shooting needs. Just be sure all is snug (arms and camera mounts)..I also have a Super Clamp that I use UNDER any grip arm that I might in the slightest think might move slowly downward that I have NO...NO issues whatsoever with support. Just need to make sure it's balanced properly with softbox, etc. Hope this helps with your options and "Thanks" SOOO much Nathan for this video. Really helpful additional lighting gear I am looking into. Photography purposes only. Cheers from Bay Area, California!!

[@EdwardKilner]

@@gentlegnt Peter Coulson and Bec. Sounds like you found a solution, but his rig is very good.

[@emye35]

Where is the link to the arms?

[@maikelhendrikx1367]

Liked and subbed my friend. Great video. I like it very much how you can find everything you need in one place. Looks very user friendly also. I'm gonna try and get one for my office.

[@koenignero]

Hi Nathan, what Brand is your Cardigan in this video?

[@richardowenjones7246]

Hi Nathan, good connecting with you again from the days you were doing collabs with Jordan and Chris! Good on you for still rockin' the B&W! Gotta say, after having watched a gazzillian youtube-studio-on-a-stand-videos, this is the bomb solution! Just a quick question: it was hard for me to see in the video, and I don't think you mentioned it directly, but, what are you running your audio into? What would be an elegant way to mount an audio recorder to this rig?

[@NathanElson]

Hey Richard! I run my audio directly into my camera, but if you were to run it into a recorder and it had a 1/4" screw mount, you could easily attach it to one of the arms.

[@stephendecker9511]

Is there a particular microphone arm that you recommend that mounts to the baby pin receiver on the sliding arms?

[@NathanElson]

I found a cheap one on amazon. It doesn't mount to the baby pin, I just run the shaft into the hole and tighten it down.

[@Blemse]

Love your video and your design. Very elegant and user friendly. I just wish you could buy the pistol grips separately, as I don't need the stand itself.

[@NathanElson]

Touche. Not sure how to find just the grips.

[@jbthementor4905]

Nathan you’re brilliant. What are your in camera settings for black and white video ? Your future is bigger than the universe keep up the good work !

[@NathanElson]

Thanks JB. I didn't initially intend for this video to be B&W when I shot it, so nothing special in the settings, but I am messing around with s-log right now to see if I can come up with some better ways to shoot it.

[@jbthementor4905]

Nathan what I meant to ask is do you use Luts for your videos ?

[@NathanElson]

@@jbthementor4905 A few that I've created myself yes.

[@ckdesignlab]

I need this so bad. This is the future of KZbin studios setups. How well does it work on carpet, and are there any coupons or Easter sales available? I looked at the Viozon Selfie Live Floor Stand but it's flimsier and barely any cheaper. The Strobepro looks like a beast and incredibly easy to use!

[@NathanElson]

I use it on every talking head video that I do, just a solid piece of gear. As for rolling on carpet, it's not bad, but not great, just like every other kind of wheel on carpet ;) As for sales, no idea, I don't work there, just like the gear.

[@ckdesignlab]

@@NathanElson thanks! have a great holiday 🐇

[@fathomoza1527]

👍.......................... Hi can you send me please the Adress where did you buy this Stand Studio i mean internet Adress where can i buy that? Thank you

[@eddychan5296]

What a missed to watch this video 2 years ago

[@Tvj_films8452]

Can you just buy the pistol grip on its own?

[@kalauj]

I like this but I don’t see any links?!

[@NathanElson]

First line in the description :) bit.ly/32rdSNC

[@denson28y]

Awesome video Nathan! Do how much did the entire stand setup run excluding the camera? Thanks in advance. Peace, Love, and Happiness!!!

[@NathanElson]

I don't pff hand, you would just have to add things to the cart and see where you end up :)

[@sigjudge]

Fantastic video. Out of interest would the stand be able to withstand an aputure light? I love the simplicity of this and I'm so happy to have found this video. Exactly what I was looking for and at the fraction of the cost thanks to the lack of the friction arms.

[@NathanElson]

It'll handle an aperture light with modifier without any issues at all. I've mounted them on it and they worked just dandy.

[@dcheongsee]

Hey Nathan, love the simplicity of your setup! Sadly looks like Strobepro stand isn't available in Australia, I found a similar set up by Godox (Godox 240FS Studio Shooting Stand with Wheels & Pistol Grip) Do you think this would be a suitable alternative? Appreciate the help!

[@jonathanscheurich]

Same for Germany. The Godox looks like its superior quality to me. What did you end up buying? Walimex Pro and Manfrotto (231CS) are also offering their own version of this stand.

[@kerryroberts8323]

what lens are you using on your a6400 to shoot this video? Thanks! Love your ideas and videos!

[@NathanElson]

Thanks Kerry! I’m using the Sigma 16mm f/1.4. Beauty lens.
