Thanks for sharing, now maybe a behind the scenes breakdown??? The other camera, the tripod, etc :)

[@1timerod]

I need a step up video with all the equipment

[@kennethcorbin8300]

I have that same camera and it dies even with a dummy battery Can you please tell me why lol. I’ve tried 3 diff batteries 😊

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Hi Kenneth! Can you link which dummy battery you are using?

It's easy. Meet the threshold, be within the policies and simply apply.

[@KingNeu]

Simple and clean setup! 🔥 What exact mount are you using for the camera and the ball head?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

This one! geni.us/2XwGK9U

[@MensHealthMedia]

Your A7IV never overheats with your livestream setup/recording?

[@mcmaschio]

Switching to dual monitors has really helped me with editing and being able to open browser folders and the editor at the same time... Love your setup is sick btw !!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Great to hear!

[@LinusGeijer-gy8nt]

Can you show us how we install/connect the computer to the cameras and all the gadgets? How to integrate it all?

[@1timerod]

Man I been saying this for a while I would literally copy the setup play by play

[@livinginidaho]

How do you connect your Camera using USB-C to your Mac for life streaming

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Just a USB-C cable we've linked in the description!

[@alexeytretina]

This setup looks so fresh. Love how the whites work together with wood textures.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks Alex!

[@BlackPeerama]

Nice job man you did a great job

[@FromGodsHeartToYours]

I saved this video for future references. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AleksStashko]

PLEASE ANSWER THIS! I currently have a Sony A7IV, rode caster pro, a shure mic, and a cloud lifter. I have been debating on whether I should get the Sony K3M. I believe it would save me a lot of time because I record a lot of talking head videos. My question is can I connect my rode caster and a cloud lifter to the K3M? The reason I ask is because I don’t want my cloud lifter to go to waste but at the same time I’m willing to pay the $600 to save me a lot of the time not having to sync audio. Would you advise I get the Sony K3M (money not being a problem) if I already have a rode caster and a cloud lifter?

[@LinusGeijer-gy8nt]

And why do you use two monitors? And how many cameras do you use, and why?

[@KristophTy]

I Thought the XLR Top handle was only compatible with the Fx3/Fx30??? *edit* Nvmnd its a different XLR... Makes more sense now 😆

[@PhotosWithTheFields]

what is that Lamp Light in the Back called? I love that Light

[@ResearchNDesignFinance]

Great content as always! thanks for this!

[@activenode]

My OCD is killing me if I push the camera in between the monitors. I'm thinking about getting a good flex arm there which would allow to temporarily move the camera in front of the screen, but sure, then some part of the screen is covered.

[@willforgin]

If you were to use a second camera for a second angle, where would you put the 2nd camera to fit this setup? I love this setup, thank you for the inspiration.

[@Leon_Aldrich]

What was missing from this Top Notch video, was ALL the book titles on the nearby shelving. You're still a GOAT.

[@michaelmiranda4615]

I CANT USE THE LINK FOR THE CONTEST!!!!!!!! I am so excited to start uploading content, but kinda scared to fail too...... Honestly winning this setup would be a serious confidence boost.

[@Sensiahairgrowthsolution]

Help me to order online

[@bulcub]

what under desk mount from amazon (the name) you are using for your dock station

[@itsmenohandle]

Thanks for everything Nolan, will the topsky standing desk and VIVO whiteboard be compatible for sizing and fit? They are both products from the link you showed in the description. I’m just not sure if I should order VIVO desk and desktop. I appreciate you.

[@Naswillshine]

I really like the setup! I’m going to look into that light because the space is definitely limited.

[@peter-mcewen]

Great video. Thank you. I am trying to choose between the FX30 and the A7 IV. Have you had any issues with the A7 overheating during an hour long video session? Thanks if you have time to respond!

[@1timerod]

Got a question what do you use to power everything just the CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock? You don’t use a PC?

[@jseymour84]

I've been wrestling with a question for a bit. I plan on shooting all my KZbin videos at my desk, and plan to live stream. Is there a compelling reason to record audio/video to the camera SD card vs recording it on the computer (via StreamYard or OBS or something similar)? Unless there is a difference in video resolution I don't see why recording to the SD card then transferring to the computer for editing is a more compelling option than simply recording directly on to the computer. Is there something I am missing?

[@janissevalenzuela]

Can you make a video on how you sync and connect the K3m Sony with your Rode Caster Duo? I am bit confused on how this set-up works, also want to save time and help my editor from having to sync audio. Any tips, can you make a video on this???

[@KirkTaylorcom]

What cable are you using to go from the Rodecaster Duo to the Sony XLR Handle?

[@janissevalenzuela]

Can you share what cable you use for the K3m? @thinkmedia I also have a Sony a7iv and want to connect the k3m to my roadcaster duo, can you share which cable I need to buy?

[@3polygons]

I have always wondered if the powerful light all youtubers use is bad for eyesight.

[@beingwellgrounded]

Oh that’s a great question

[@pawool]

does anyone know of a video that not only talks about the equipment, but the purpose of each thing, eg. why have a second monitor?

[@AnnMarieYeager]

Different question, hope you respond. Why does youtube export, where does it go. Is there a difference on computer v phone?

[@RodPriester]

Do you use the grid? I noticed they sell one without the grid and I’m wondering if that’s worth the $25 savings

[@bryanh1142]

Super productive studio should be called super expensive studio lol. Has anybody went and added all the items to recreate this exact setup and what the total is? It is dope I want

[@UrbanCraftTv]

Awesome setup ✨

[@zupp.social]

your lens is 28mm but with that distance, I see it covers the wall behind. I have a 24-70 but even at 24 my wall doesn't appear wider.

[@CRE8VALU]

Do you have a crop sensor camera or full frame? Full frame will provide a wider shot.

[@defining_moments]

It’s crazy I cannot afford a camera that expensive anything that you recommend that is just as amazing at a much more affordable price??

[@CRE8VALU]

It depends on what kind of content you intend to produce (shooting locations and environment, recorded vs. live streaming), honestly.

[@bryonsview]

Working on building my KZbin studio out as we speak. I’m currently still using my iPhone for all videos. I just purchased a wireless microphone. Little by little. Next will be working on my backdrop.

[@ProsperousPathways]

Wow this is absolutely beautiful 😻

[@evelyniziegbe8951]

So beautiful I really like the light 💡, please I have a canon 6d want to start using it for videos so how do I connect to see myself when making videos? Happy thanksgiving 🦃

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

That is an amazing setup. I thought about putting my camera on my desk for videos, the problem for me is that my bed would be in the background and that's almost never made.

[@edengardeningtowers4923]

Super sweet setup😊

[@BlackSwanFinancial]

Nice setup. My challenge is making my lighting setup work since my desk is right up against the wall. Its hard getting a soft box between the desk and the wall

[@mmgoodwings3981]

Great information. Thanks!

[@CarmenPortillo-vlog]

How do you use the Camera to live stream?

[@mapledceylonese]

That’s an amazing set up

[@YourDigitalMakeover]

Have you been having any issues with the headphones? I have been hearing a lot of people have had issues with pieces on the headphone band breaking.

[@peter-mcewen]

Do you ever have issues with the A7R IV overheating while filming a stream? I'm trying to choose between the FX30 and the more versatile A7. Thanks. I love these videos.

[@emmac3143]

Hi Nolan! Can you use this sigma lense with Sony A6700 or Sony FX30 camera for KZbin talking head videos and streaming?

[@CarmenPortillo-vlog]

I love your way, your equipment. You’d baby is so cute!

[@TheIntradaySniper]

Whats that LG monitor ?

[@Cyrus_Stone]

I have the same monitor stand, and I use two Sithon storage trays that fit perfectly flush like drawers on the long side of the bottom space.

[@NefertitiGold]

My guy Nolan!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾… you guys should do desk/studio makeovers HGTV style and I volunteer as tribute!!! lol

Well done Nolan!

that was a nice one

Y-U-2? Not, Yu2, like U-2?

[@sharingmatters]

White mic and rodecasterduo look stunning!!! The control of the light is amazing! This is what you really need.

[@styleframesat]

Which stands are you using for the camera and light, and are they mounted to your desk?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Yep! The light comes with a mount and I use this camera mount geni.us/2XwGK9U

[@ChillStudyDate]

Did u not need a capture card for live streaming?

[@CRE8VALU]

This is an important consideration for anyone setting up a studio.

[@Terrymay14]

great guide for my setup

[@omarcelopaixao]

6:38 why don't you close the battery door on your camera?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

The battery door doesn't close when using a dummy battery. A little annoying but it works just fine

[@omarcelopaixao]

​@@ThinkMediaTV Oh. I Didn't know that Sony cameras dont't have that little hole on the side of the battery slot. I have a Canon R7 and never used a Sony. Thanks for the asnwer.

[@phillippia]

@@omarcelopaixaoThey do have the little flap on the door so the battery compartment could still be closed, even when using a dummy battery. I don’t know about his particular model, but my Sony ZVE10, a5100, a6000, etc all have it, can’t imagine his does not.

[@isalutfi]

Great Set Up

[@zodiaceng]

Streamyard really needs to have a way to export as vertical format and arrange host/cohost/guests so they aren’t all only side by side.

[@DrBisharaWilson]

You can design your own backgrounds to have co-hosts and guests where you want them and other elements like the full screen size. There are videos on their channel and other channels how to do it.

[@zodiaceng]

@@DrBisharaWilsonthanks, I'll check that out. I appreciate it.

[@DrBisharaWilson]

@@zodiaceng I think you may have to record in the vertical custom layout that you created. But you still get a full screen recording too from your local recording file
