I film and post videos to YouTube, Rumble as well as Instagram. I’m often asked how I film as there are so many ways to set-up a filming spot. Lighting, sound and room space all come into play on how a person sets-up their area. I’ve got a nice size study… Of course, it could be bigger, but I’m satisfied with my space. I mainly use one wall on the window side to record and the rest of the space to organize my supplies.

Here are most of the items I have been using for my YouTube filming setup as of October 2022. To make things easier I now mostly use a wireless microphone setup that I describe below by Rode. This means I can get up from the desk without pulling a cord. YAY for wireless.
