How I Make YouTube Videos

A behind the scenes look at my YouTube setup.
Check out the Maidesite S2 Standing Desk (paid link): shrsl.com/3yde7

This is a behind the scenes look at where I record my videos. I started with with a very cheap setup and have slowly upgraded components over time to what I consider an "enthusiastic amateur" level.
If you've ever thought about making your own videos this will give you a glimpse into what is involved; as well as what lighting, camera, lens, microphones, and software I'm using, and why I selected them.
