This setup is really solid allowing me to boom the camera pretty far over the desk without issue.įor my video courses I will often have a third camera just off of the desk to get a close ups And this is just done with a cheap tripod. On the end of the boom arm I’ve used a Rapid Baby adapter and Ball Head to mount the camera. For this I either the A7 IV or A7s III with a Tamron 28-75mm zoom lens. This camera mounted a stand setup which consists of an Impact C-Stand with this Impact Boom Arm. Sometimes I use a second camera when I need a top down shot of the desk. You watch a comparison between this filter and no filter here. I also have a Tiffen Black Pro Mist 1/8th filter which softens the highlights just a bit. That said, This thing is a beast and you can mount A TON of weight on or under it and I love the giant size.įor this setup I primarily use a single Sony A7 IV with the Sony 35mm F1.8 mounted to an E-Image GH06. ![]() Needless to say this thing is way overkill now as I could have just used a regular desk or this budget desk on Amazon. I ended up adding a grey vinyl wrap over the desk as the white was acting as a fill light which didn’t look good on the old chin! Originally I had plans to move the desk around and change heights a lot, but after a while I settled into this one spot. The Deskįor the desk I went with the Uplift Commercial C Leg desk with an 80×30″ white top. See the diagram above to see the final layout of the setup with the blankets in place. On the wall next to the desk I just hung blankets from the ceiling as I had no need to move these. I’ve done a dedicated video on these and they are one of the best investments in my studio. These can be moved around the studio for better sound or used as a bounce or negative fill light modifiers. To separate the studio area from the rest of the room (which is about 1000ft²) I built several rolling stands made of two 80×80 black and white sound blankets. The only downside to this is that it looks a little sloppy and might not absorb as much sound as my seamless solution. I love how the ceiling turned out but a much simpler method would be to buy these 24×48 inch blankets and mount them with a S-hooks and clips to the ceiling. From there I designed and 3D printed some simple washers and mounted the blankets with a 1/4 20″ bolt and nut. I found this simple 3D printed mount model that allows you to mount a 1/4 20″ bolt to traditional drop ceiling rails. ![]() Ceilingįor the ceiling, I took several full size blankets and cut little slits so I could mount them to my drop ceiling. I would take a $50 microphone and a well treated room over a $5000 microphone in a poorly treated room. If you take anything away from this video and article let it be this… Spending money on acoustic treatment will increase the quality of your videos more than just about anything else mentioned here. Take note of the black and white blankets as I will be referencing that here in a bit.įor sound treatment I decided to go exclusively with Producers Choice Sound Blankets as I’ve tried foam and wood framed panels but nothing has been as cost and result effective as these blankets. Here is a top down view of my entire setup to give you an idea of where everything sits in the space. While the larger size is nice, you could easily scale this setup down to suit your space. The space I’m using is a 16×18′ (288ft²) corner of my studio with thin office carpet, drop ceilings and no windows. Read/watch on to see how I’ve set things up and what gear I use to make better videos faster! The 2019 harvest was one of the earliest we had on Iona.This is a studio setup I’ve been working on since I started DSLR Video Shooter in 2010. The season allowed us to pick fruit at optimal ripeness, with low alcohol and pH levels and balanced acidities. The growing season was characterised by dry, cool conditions and smaller yields, which resulted in concentrated fruit, with intense flavour. December and January were characterised by cool growing conditions, with January being especially cool. The consequences of uneven budding and flowering were reduced crop levels and reduced berry size. Strong winds during end of October and early November also led to long and uneven flowering. The warm July led to very early budding, especially on the Chardonnay vineyards, which was followed by a cold August and September (both months about 2☌ cooler than the previous year). This was followed by the warmest July on record (3☌ warmer than the long-term avg.) with rainfall far below the long- term avg. The 2019 season started with a cold June month, with average rainfall.
