Ultimate Video Studio Desk Setup!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

This is a is a re-upload as yesterday's attempt had several Audio issues. Thank you guys so much for the kind words! Glad to finally have this project published! All gear links and resources for this project can be found here: dslrvideoshooter.com/the-ultimate-video-desk/

[@WouterWeggelaar]

Thanks man. Will watch again to pleasure the algorithm

[@EJIqpEP]

This is like a setup from 2050.

[@ozzi_tech]

Thanks for re-uploading this video! Saved ;)

[@tiagolorena]

There are still a couple of issues with audio in the DBX noise test and the demonstration with no sound panels. The polarity/phase of one of the channels is inverted, so when they sum to mono (as is the case with many phones, mine included) there's no sound at all. Oh, and the tags on the timeline don't match the content properly. Great content though, as always!

[@fredericsidler]

How big is your room? 2 x 3 meters?

[@danielschiffer]

This is my favourite setup video of yours so far! Lot's of great ideas here!

[@TayyabAshrafz]

Love your channel. You make really great content...

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks Brotha!!! Means a lot 😊

[@medialiondigitalmarketinga2984]

So awesome!

[@Pwayko]

Brain exploding*

[@UnconditionalProductions]

Awesome 👌

[@DrJacobGoodin]

This would be such a pro setup for professors like me adapting to teach online during this pandemic! I’ve learned a lot from you these past few months!

[@MarkDice]

I thought I was the only one using a teleprompter for video calls! The idea is finally catching on! It does change everything, and I'm sure soon everyone will be doing it.

[@americandean8083]

Hi Mark Also check out the teleprompter tool (ppt-mirror.com) which converts and mirror-flip Powerpoint slides for iPads, smartphones to be used in a teleprompter that does not force you to read word for word your speech remains natural.

[@KENNETHCARNIE]

Don't give the msm that much credit. As you've pointed out, they just now got into lapel mics and better lighting for their covid - basement based shows. Lol.

[@DanBecker]

Seriously who disliked this video? This is THE BEST KZbin video setup I’ve ever seen for a one man show.

[@theTechNotice]

I'm half way through and I just wanna say this is FLIPPING AWESOME! Edit: finished the video, I can't believe I didn't have to pay for that kind of info! So much hard work has gone into this. Well done!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

You're too kind! Thank you!

[@KYLERHOLLAND]

I have my eye on that teleprompter setup! That's sick!

[@Oliur]

Holy cow this is awesome and has given me a ton of ideas. I didn't know I wanted this but now I need it.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thank you so much for the kind words man!

[@johnydecali]

Loved how you mentioned that you have been youtubing for 10 years and built up your studio over time. Time and experience is the best way to understand your needs vs wants.

[@itsdrjade]

This is AWESOME! I am working on a setup very similar to this, complete with my ATEM Mini Pro ISO and teleprompter for conference calls and virtual education events. I really love the clean setup you have here - it has given me some ideas! My biggest difference is that I have two computers: my PC laptop for work and my personal MacBook Pro that runs most of the fun technical stuff. This means I also have two monitors: two old Apple Cinema displays (24” and 30”). I don’t have admin access on my work laptop, so it’s basically only used for PowerPoints and logging into conference calls. The ATEM Mini Pro ISO is used as a webcam on my work laptop. The MacBook Pro runs the ATEM via Ethernet/network. I currently only have one camera, my new Sony ZV1. Both of my Canon DSLRs don’t have clean HDMI out, so I’m going to sell those. Eventually I may add a second camera angle, but the product showcase mode on the ZV1 works for my purposes very well (I rarely need it anyway). My audio is very simple: a Rode Wireless Go with a Rode lavalier. I hope to upgrade to a Shure SM7B, possibly with a GoXLR Mini, someday, but it’s not at the top of my list for upgrades. I’m wanting a super ultrawide monitor first (so I only have one monitor, not two), and then the new Mac Mini with an M1 chip to replace my early 2015 MacBook Pro. My biggest hurdle was getting the correct mirroring to the teleprompter (I need to be able to read notes when I give presentations). There were a few $300+ options for video scalers with mirroring/flipping, but I was lucky to find a lightly used Magewell USB Capture HDMI card for $160 on eBay that has mirror/flip options in its software. I have a One Take Only teleprompter (bought used for $100 on FB) with a 13.3” slim portable monitor from Amazon that was about $150. Right now I have it on an old desktop mic stand I’ve had for about 15+ years from college. Hopefully this helps anyone who is in a similar boat! It took me about a week of endless searching online to find the hardware for my needs...now it’s about tweaking the mounting and cable management!

[@linnyunt]

The camera monitor in the teleprompter is a game changing idea! So versatile and useful!

[@ourbellalife]

Freaking LOVE these videos Caleb! The last big desk/filming set up video you did last year... I went and bought almost every darn thing other than cameras as I have too many already. I then built my vlog desk and it's great... it lasted about 2 months before I was using a different variation I created on an impact stand for portable filming. My new desks arrive soon and now you go and do this new look. ummm... YES! haha Some great ideas man, seriously. Thank you. - JD

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thank you Bryci!!!

[@frida507]

You shouldn't watch, might give you ideas...

[@yawuzaalhassan2754]

I need a camera for my project in Africa, let me know if you have un used camera for cheap price. Thank you.

[@TommyCallaway]

4:29 this was a great collab thanks for having me!

[@CalebWojcik]

🤣

[@dslrvideoshooter]

😂 Anytime!

[@MannyOrtiz]

This was sooo good! I’m definitely using some ideas from this video 🙏🙏

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks Manny! Keep up the solid work bro!

[@alphamale068]

Fantastic Video - Thanks, it really inspired me to sort my setup out for the endless zoom calls that I'm now on. The teleprompter has proven to be a game changer for me! For anybody that is also considering that route like you I found the Lilliput screen to be so much better than an iPad - however, after originally buying the Lilliput A8 (8 inch). I then tried the Lilliput A11 (10.1 inch) wondering if it would fit etc. I can confirm that the A11 fits perfectly and is the ideal companion to the Glide Gear. Cleaner image that fills the screen completely. Absolutely loving all of your content!!!

[@new3sc]

This looks insane! Also... Do you want me to go Bankrupt?

[@DavidLindgren89]

I feel you! Same here 😂

[@dslrvideoshooter]

😂

[@arishem555]

and it is even not 4k setup. only 1080p.

[@LetThatMarinate]

Caleb you are a BEAST! You've gotten me in trouble with my wife several times, but the knowledge you've imparted has been worth it!

[@SereneKaos]

I’ve never seen so many verified accounts comments! Goes to show the respect the community has for Caleb. Great vid!

[@PlatinumONTV]

Gotta say this might be the MOST EPIC video I’ve ever seen you do in all the years I’ve been following you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Wow, thanks!

[@AskAW]

After the video ended, I started clapping. I love your "no back story or videos of you getting coffee" sessions.

[@tblv9300]

100%. Can’t stand vids where the host does the old coffee timelapse filler. cough, scott, cough

[@jonathanfurtado6880]

I had an old teleprompter gathering dust in my storage room and tried this out. It works great! I love all of the great ideas you present here. The cable management and rack mount hanging off the front is genius!

[@thearklisburn]

How do you get the picture to invert/mirror on the monitor so that you can read the words and everything looks correct when you look at the teleprompter?

[@treyxaviermusic]

That monitor teleprompter thing is f u c k i n g g e n i u s - I can't believe everyone doesn't do that. SO SMART

[@utubegian]

Hi! Does he connects his mac to the monitor?

[@fabioroal]

Man, I found you channel, few days ago. Just want to congratulate you. The quality of your work is outstanding. This desk is a dream and certainly inspiring. I'm psychologist and I'm seeing my clients online since the beginning of the Pandemic. I'm constantly searching for ways to give my client a better feeling of being in the office. Many of the products you showed I didn't know. and it opened up possibilities. Thank you.

[@Cashmeare]

Hell yeah dude that’s awesome!

[@MatthewEncina]

Love these videos Caleb. Thanks for sharing these awesome setups!

[@musicxsam1]

I love Caleb's rig but I dont think i'll be doing work other than shooting/recording on this desk!! Mr. Encinas' desk is more appealing to me and that wall organiser board.... just pure delight to watch! 😍 ...if only somebody married these 2 desk setups together... hmmmmm........😚

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thank you Matthew!!!

[@joaoblumel]

Damn...just when we thought it couldn't get any better than your previous setups...BOOM!! This is a dream setup! Absolutely flawless. It's exactly what I need in my streaming room right now! Wow! 👏👏👏

[@remektekmedia6641]

As an alternative for the mic XLR kill plus DBX, etc. I would just use the Fairlight features in the ATEM Mini Pro. If I use a RØDE Video NTG, then I already have a 3.5mm feed and variable gain control. To kill the sound, merely pop the analog in switch on the ATEM.

[@SavvyTurtle]

This is my current project upgrading from your last setup to this one. Thanks Caleb.

[@HighLifeWorkout]

This is phenomenal! Really amazing job

[@badhonebrahim7707]

U r still alive?

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks man!!!

[@Retailleadership]

Caleb - WOW! As i'm new to this camera and live game, I only SUBSCRIBE to a very select few. I have always highly anticipated your videos. So when you posted the teaser about the telepromopter a few weeks ago, DUDE my mind was blow. I was trying to use my ipad with my teleprompter but to no avail, but the field monitor idea is just SIC! But this entire setup is RIDICULOUS! I've already put most of the part list in my Amazon cart. Also thanks for providing the diagram for the setup, there is NO ONE ELSE OUT THERE DOING THAT! YOU ARE THE BEST DUDE!

[@SethEverman]

this is absolutely amazing.

[@Indibluu]

youre right

[@CameronMagee]

CALEB. I hope you are so proud. This is, hands-down, your best work yet. And that's a high bar. I love it. Great work. Way to put in the time. Wow. Excellent.

[@wal]

Wow, what an amazing setup! Thanks for putting this together, very helpful!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thank you so much for watching and the kind words Williston!

[@theindianpatriotsbharat]

You know man your passion and hard work is reflected.

[@xenakaifinancevideos8650]

What an AMAZING setup. Everything has a purpose and it's so well thought out

[@creativecarrots]

Caleb, I've been following your channel for a number of years, but I have to say, this is one of the best solutions you've ever made! Thanks a lot! ;-)

[@andinicesar]

this is a really good setup for someone who want to have serious but minimal production studio even in their home, definitely takes notes these are some good shit.

[@DeeNimmin]

Go Go Gadget KZbin studio! Incredible set up.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks Dee!!!

[@tonydCFO]

Wow....this is mind blowing DSLR! Thanks a million for this insight.

[@DebzLife]

AUDIO 👏 AUDIO 👏 AUDIO 👏 we have audio whoooooo!!!!!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

We did it!!!

[@amineunshakable1295]

This guy knows his stuff and truly can set any streaming setup even on small budgets & still nailed it at high standards. This is is clean, lighting is 👌and equipment are well worth the investment too. ♦️Best setup ever in 2020 ♦️

[@AuthenTech]

So many great ideas and gadgets!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks Ben!!!

[@ebedmelech144]

I am highly selective of which channels I subscribe to, with that, said, I continue to be impressed by the sheer quality that Pike puts out. The tutorial and reviews are second to none.

[@smdani]

Just amazing.

[@iammourad]

WAAAAAAAAA JUST AWESOME 👏 AMAZING Caleb what you have done with small space... It s exactly what i was looking for... You nailed it... As we say in France... BRAVO

[@aliabdaal]

this is absolutely bonkers mate

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thank you Ali!!!

[@GamersPlayerUnion]

What’s up Ali. About to head to your channel in a sec. It’s been a minute

[@bleunoirmobile]

Many years later… still amazing!

[@stratopause]

Finally re-uploaded

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Sorry for the wait! That first upload was a real cluster!

[@Eaststoriestv]

It’s taken this man sooooo many years to find the sweet spot for his channel. I love his videos but not a fun of his gear review videos but every time he makes a video about a SETUP,I come running to watch. I think making these simple setups videos are fit for the current times and original to him since no one else is doing this type of build guide which gives him the 1st mover advantage. Keep this up dude and milk this opportunity you’ve pioneered because it’s your time now to grow to 2Mill subs... 👏👏👌

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

So many great ideas in this one :)

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thank you Alex!

[@sushidavidsu]

THIS IS THE BEST SET UP IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!

[@evan]

Brooooo this is so sick! Love seeing your setup

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thank you so much Evan!

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Great video 👍 Thanks 😊 can’t Waite to build out my studio for live streams. This was super helpful

[@gabeharris]

only real ones know this was uploaded yesterday

[@kai-uweheinz]

This is my first tech comment ever: ty! very inspiring! „perfect“: gear, picture, sound, description text with links to buy the gear, chapters, in-depth explanations, cheap hacks, you gave away - it seems - all your knowledge, ty!

[@KombiLife]

Ultimate is right!

[@cybrtrkguy]

You're putting one in your Kombi, right?

[@dslrvideoshooter]

I try! 😂 Thank you for watching and awesome channel!

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Caleb, I now have my desk setup nearly duplicated from yours. ATEM, 3 cameras, teleprompter clean monitor, ATEM M/V monitor, SL60WII and softbox. Even have the clean monitor position above/right of teleprompter camera, so PiP looks correct. I did have some problems, my Linux desktop NVIDIA card didn't like the HDMI video switcher between it and the teleprompter camera. Also, I bought the same 8" teleprompter monitor but later replaced it with a 10.1" Raspberry Pi monitor perfect fit in the Glide Gear TMP100. Had to use the video card's mirror option instead of monitor's. Thank you again for this ultimate video desk setup, it was invaluable.

[@TechJungle]

Mind blown at the level of thought and detail, not only put into the setup, but in the video itself. 🔥🔥🔥

[@BrianZuma]

I really don't think there is anything better he could have done there is like nothing that you could not do in that setup.

[@NewViewTechReview]

Dude, this video is insane. The average viewer has NO CLUE how much time goes into a video such as this. Well done Caleb, well done!

[@SoyanOsman]

Wallet: *softly*" don't... "

[@letsogomotsokono4794]

I have been searching for setups for nearly five days, came upon this channel, I am sold and this is my last stop 🛑

[@UnicornBikes]

I thought you'd put all this on a single stick. Kinda dissappointed...

[@dslrvideoshooter]

😂😂😂

[@MichaelSoledad]

And there I was wishing I had a bigger space so I could make it more functional for filming and podcasts. Crazy to see how much you can actually fit in a tiny corner. Very well thought out!

[@CrivasOficial]

Me: So... I'm saving money Caleb: Oh really?

[@chrisjericho7973]

Lol aint you a reggaeton channel

[@NadineTeiner]

oh my god. This is perfection! And answers my question on which camera you use for your overhead shots. I love your channel and really honor all the work and love you put into this. Thank you so much.

[@David_Mbugua]

This is THE ULTIMATE SETUP. WOW!!!

[@ericbulington2421]

Also, the “no sound panels” section is terrible. Without sound panels, there are NO Sounds AT ALL! 😜

[@kamilkp]

Bookmarked and I will definitely get back to it once my house is built and it’s time to set up the studio of my dreams. You’re the best!

[@WayneGoss]

Any chance you could pop over and set this up for me! Appreciate it! 😉

[@KimJimenez]

Lol. Feeling exactly the same. Caleb for the win.

[@dougburgan1]

Oh snap you watch this channel too

[@DearEva.]

Right!!! Love you Wayne!!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

I'll be right over! 😂 Glad you enjoyed it Wayne.

[@EffectiveLivingForToday]

just noticed; the reason why he does't explain how to set up the teleprompter to switch back and forth, they're three different videos explaining the teleprompter. He has two different shirts on in the main video. The one with his back to us, your shirt is darker and when you finish, you have lighter colored tee-shirt on. His teleprompter with all the guest does not work with this set up. That is the reason why he never did the follow up video. He should have just said that instead of leading on like this is all one set up; it's not, it's three different videos edited into one in regards to the teleprompter. What a waste of my time.

[@istulover]

One of my favourite videos of set up! I am returning to it tons of times !

[@Yourguitarworkshop]

Is there a chance you could adopt me so I can use all that awesome gear and your setup. Looks really really nice!!

[@RIKOARIshowreel]

this is what i called a "proper" video meeting setup! 👏🏻 great video as always.

[@EposVox]

I just wish the ATEM Mini Pro supported 4K :/

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Hopefully some day!!!

[@RamziAtaya]

Question for ya EposVox or Caleb...If I'm not going to use the ATEM Mini...then I wouldn't need to purchase a splitter, correct? All I would need is the switch along with the teleprompter and monitor? And for the proper connection; it'd be a short Micro HDMI to HDMI cable from the camera to the Switch...and then a short HDMI to HDMI from the Switch to field Monitor...and then a longer HDMI cable from the Switch to the Computer/Capture Card? Please advise; thank you!

[@stanchan]

They have one... it’s an ATEM Production Studio 4k 😁

[@essexii]

Caleb another awesome setup. You create, practical, affordable (kinda), and useful tools which I am surprised companies have not tried to license for use. Thanks, so many of your recommendations have become a part of my workflow and inventory. It is good to have a guy you can count on for solid info.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

That is very generous of you John! Thank you so much for the kind words. It really does mean a lot!

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

The best video for live streaming setups!

[@MuradAbuseta]

10 stars video, top video and content that you can watch forever

[@THAARUSHTALK]

Technology overflow.... one video = mind blown

[@laurianlamba]

I can't believe I have not seen you channel until today. Really nice work, by far my favourite videos on desk setups or generic video setups are on your channel, out of the entire YT (that I watched so far)

[@markmorinii]

I love it! the biggest limitation to mine is the wobbly desk. the rack-mount is pretty badass!

[@Taylorvishon]

This setup is by far my favorite that I’ve seen so far! Highly functional and extremely versatile for any video project/ work flow preference. You’ve given me some great ideas 💡 🤔. Thanks Caleb 💯

[@Cam_and_Mal]

Been a while since I’ve been this interested in a video this long....from start to finish! Such a great video!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@OnedgeTV]

This is by far my favorite setup

[@silversulu]

These particular vids are some of your MOST popular - it's clear why - great stuff - thanks!

[@marcosleblanc9029]

I've watched this video more times than I can remember. I'm slowly building up my desk/streaming setup and keep coming back to this for ideas and inspiration!

[@OtisHumphreys]

You have the best realistic desk setup vids ever. Thank you.

[@ImaginationUpgraded]

This is a hardcore one man band set up! I’m jacking some of these tips for sure! 😂

[@LawGPT]

Caleb, this is another killer setup. I do a ton of video conferences and I've taken it to the point where they look and sound pro, but I hate that I'm constantly moving my eyes in and out of the lens. I've tried moving the camera and the app as physically close as possible, but it never quite looks like I'm continually engaged. I've ordered the monitor and teleprompter. This is going to step up my game.

[@IslandFilmMaker]

Super Nice! 3 major Cameras, lenses, lights, desk, monitors, laptop, PC, camera stands, teleprompter, switchers & adapters, lights, cables, don't forget that audio setup. Just a simple spiced up setup! Well I don't know exactly what you're using it for but I'm hoping it's for a full blown Network! Otherwise this prices out in my head hit a simple $10,000 US! I wish we could afford a ultimate one-man-band tiny little studio like this but lets BE REAL! To me you're just showing off! The good news... I bought my lottery ticket, wish me luck!

[@MatteoPauselli]

I love your setup videos so much. And I think this is the best so far! What I love about them is the imagination and ideas that spark when watching them. Plus it informs me about gear I didn't know existed to solve problems I have. It also gives me goals to hit for "leveling up" my KZbin quality as I progress. Really appreciate all the great content you provide. Thanks!!!

[@ItsBourbonNight]

You are my organizational hero! Great job, Caleb.

[@twosheafilms]

Every single time you outdo yourself Caleb! You're a freaking genius!! Thank you soo much for making this! I already own like 80% of this stuff and I've been looking to do something JUST like this when I move to Cali in a few months. THANK YOU AGAIN MAN!!

[@JustinHolder]

Man...you do the BEST job I've ever seen! My background is TV and I appreciate how thorough, links, etc. You really do such great and comprehensive work!

[@ericbulington2421]

Wow. Holy wow. You have outdone yourself. Unreal setup.

[@Mike_Spor]

AAAAAwesome....thankyou for sharing how this really could be. finally, someone who cares to share.

[@brendeljoey]

Caleb, these setups and builds are all legit! Love seeing what you come up with and put together!

[@OmarEltakrori]

Currently my favorite video on KZbin right now

[@mahmoudshoaala]

Respect all your efforts in making this video

[@starryde]

Big-brain Caleb. There he goes again! Always killing the game. Nice work.

[@dslavaua]

That is something incredible, man! I have to learn so much from you. Thank you for pushing my horizon beyond iPhone and for the nice tip about the Canon EOS RP RF.

[@SteveDOES]

Great video! I love nerding out on gear. You've given me some new gear goals to shoot for. Thanks Caleb!

[@KeyAtoms]

I have this desk(workbench really) too! Great investment. The finish is nice and it’s super durable. Best part is it come with fixed and rolling feet so you can move it around easily
