Elgato Stream Deck Pedal
I use WhisprFlow for all my prompting, brainstorming, and note-taking. Otter .ai for conversations, calls, and longer sessions. But WhisprFlow with a keyboard shortcut, or, if you want to be SPECTACULARLY nerdy, the Stream Deck Pedal (non-ironically, it's amazing)
Aputure Amaran 100
Neat! I got the Amaran lights here too, and I recommend getting a Light Dome that fits them, it's great for diffusion :)
RodeCaster Pro
I got the Rodecaster v1 and it's amazing. I hear even better things about the v2 and the recently released smaller version. Onboard amp, EQ, Noise Gate, high pass and the Aphex stuff is really good. And recording a backup stream directly to SD is chefs kiss.
Shure SM7B
There, it joins the audio from a @shure SM7B that goes into a @rodemics Rodecaster Pro.
Sony A7C
For video, I run a @Sony A7C with a Sigma 24mm lens into a @AtomosGlobal Ninja V and then via @elgato Camlink into a Mac Mini.
Elgato Prompter
I talk into an Elgato Prompter and am surrounded by 3 @AputureLighting lights: an Amaran 100, some other, (forgot, lol) and an Infinibar PB6.
DJI Mic
The fun part: the DJI mic pictured here allows for an actual lapel mic with a cable to be plugged in and still have the whole thing be wireless. Get an under-shirt small mic and plug it in. Magic.
Ceiling Rail Mounting System
Did some upgrading in the studio. The ceiling rail mounting system is now in place, holding most of my lights. I'll be adding a few more things (mics and cameras) to this over time. So much more space to walk with the clunky light stands out of the way.
Sony ZV-1
With the ZV-1, I had an always-on HDMI-based setup. No need to do the USB data thing. My USB only charged the camera, which I never turned off and thus didn't have to change zoom settings. Grabbed a capture card and a microHDMI cable and BOOM. HD video, never needed to touch the camera, could even mount a prompter and use an iPad beneath it.
