today I'm gonna talk a little bit about my YouTube studio and how I make my videos so I've been building this set up for the last couple of years each of these monitors has been added as I buy them I think this top one is like four years old and then this side one here is a 4k monitor that I bought a couple months ago I built the computer myself in the past I did have a wall-mounted computer I did move and I took down that wall mount a computer put it in a tower and then I did upgrade my computer I'll talk about that in a second I do have JBL 3 or white studio monitors they're on both sides I have those attached to the focusrite scarlett 2i2 I did build the desk myself I posted a video about a month ago on that I just took a solid wood door from Home Depot and then sunk granite and marble blocks down into it I will link that video so you can check that out if you want to on the side there I just have a brother printer this is the camera that I use it is the gh4 and one of the really cool things about this camera Oh like some other cameras have as well is that it connects to this monitor here so the camera itself is a 4k camera and when I turn it on anything that the camera is seeing will pop up in my 4k monitor over here so as I'm making a video I can see up close and in more detail on the monitor than I can with my own eyes also another cool feature this cameras has something called focus peaking so you can see if the image is out of focus as soon as it becomes in focus it'll put little blue dots around whatever is in focus and that's really helpful when I'm working on small things like cell phones so we have the gh4 up top we have the speed booster here and then the actual lens is a sigma 18 at 35 it's can zoom in and out has a focus ring down here as far as the lights go I have these two LED lights that I can position wherever I want and then I have these two other desk lights that is a 5000 color temperature light so it gives off a white light which helps make the white balance on the piece of paper a little bit better learning little by little as I go along when I first started I actually just had a cell phone hanging off the edge of a desk with the camera lens pointing right down to where I was filming so my first hundred or so videos is all done with the with a cell phone here's a shelf it's a little cell phone graveyard with a bunch of toolkits I have some watches I'm actually going to be doing a video on Moto 360 and the fossil queue that will be posted in about a week or so my keyboard is a corsair k70 it's a mechanical keyboard if you're into those i am using the brown keys this is my computer tower and my sound i will show you how I do my voiceovers in just a second so this is my desktop this one I just put together a couple months ago this isn't the wall-mounted rig that I took down and put in a case this is an upgraded system if you want to pause the video you can check out all the specs here I also link everything down in the video description that I use including the tripod and the camera and stuff so the tripod that I use is called a reveille and I like it because I can take my camera and actually mount it underneath the tripod legs so when I'm working I can just sit right here between these two legs and tear apart or durability test any phone that I'm working on at the moment I also have a huge vinyl world sticker up there at the top to remind me who my audience is and I got a special gift from YouTube a couple days ago thanks ton for subscribing everybody so when I do my voiceovers I have a microphone it's a samsung meteor mic and then I have this little sound wall right here that kind of helps dampen the sound for it and then I lay down a towel to help dampen the sound that's gonna reflect off of the wood table so when I'm doing my voiceover I'll watch the video on the top monitor and then record down here below the top monitor and then the little pop filter helps kind of filter out any of the popping sounds that your mouth makes when you're speaking thanks ton for watching if you're interested in starting your own YouTube channel you really don't need all this stuff to get going most cameras on smartphone these days are way more powerful than what I had when I started you can accomplish a lot with gesture cell phone if you have any questions about my setup or what I do leave them down in the comments I do respond fairly regularly and thanks for subscribing hope see your own
