who else is starting a KZfaq channel in quarantine (good luck everyone )

I had 3 subscribers when I first watched Sean’s video.... now my silver play button is on the way! Thanks Sean!

Cameras, lighting, microphone etc is definitely quite intimidating to a beginner. I've tried to start by spending as little as possible, but there's so many good practical ideas here, it probably takes a little investment to film quality content.

thank you! i like that you get right down to it and don't include unnecessary banter. easy to understand, great and quick examples for the not-so-savvy tech person such as myself. now that schools are closed and we are teaching from home, i am want to up my video game. well, start my video game :)

This is genuinely the most helpful video in terms of filming with a smartphone. Thank you so much!

Bought the mic, light, and phone holder and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. Thank you Sean for these recommendations. They definitely give my videos a nice quality look to it!

To the person who's reading this, Uou will grow your KZfaq Channel one day don't give up ! ❤️

I’m a new you tuber on a budget & this video was superb I’m able to setup my home KZfaq space affordably!!!! Thanks Think Media!! You’re the Best!!!!

Me: sees title My broke a** : I’m listening

Finally, what I've been looking for!! Thank you so much! I've grown from 0 to 149 subs!!!❤️🙏

Thank you so much. This was a massive help. As my channel that is one that has just gotten started this is going to help out so much especially with audio. Again, thank you.

Thankyou so much Think Media. I am going to be starting my own personal educational and informational KZfaq channel in about six months on weightlifting, dieting, cardio, etc. I find this video very helpful on how to start from scratch

This guy gave me the guts to start my channel! I loaded my second vid today. Thanks Sean! This guy doesn’t leave anything out! Your the man!

I have watched you and two others for guidance as I start my YT channel journey! And thanks to your awesome suggestions I am at 535 subs in 6 weeks!! Thanks for helping us newbies!!!

This is exactly what I needed. I’m just getting started on KZfaq, thank you!

Hey Sean! not seeing the link to the second light that you used. The Rectangular one. Thanks, keep pumping out great content!

I used something similar to film a facility tour at work. A good point to add too is that as you build, even if you have a $2000 sometimes its not the best gear for the shoot. We chose phone over the 70D because we needed to work lite and fast so the best option was a phone. Great set up.

Love these videos of yours so much! They are so helpful for us smaller creators 🦋looking forward to watching this!

This channel is very helpful and supportive to all KZfaq creators.

Thank you! i bought the Valstar mount to switch from my phone to my GoPro im going to start there

The ring light and the external mic is what I needed! Thank you Sean! 🙏🏼👍🏼

Nice video as a blind KZfaqer your equipment recommendations are helpful and budget friendly

Great information for budget youtubers!!

One problem is I don't want something so noticeable when doing walking video. Problem with my smart phone is it doesn't record the way I want it to. It kind of crops the video so you don't get full picture when recording. Kind of makes video smaller. My only video is an example of that. Update: Aprently if I hold the phone upwards it doesn't record wide. If I hold the phone side ways and record it works very good 👍

Genuinely like this. I only record on my phone at the moment so this genuinely helped in terms of what gear to get. Thanks!

As always Sean, this video is very helpful. I like the most is that you make it much much easier and no excuse on which gear used to just focus on creating the content. Thank you very much.

Great to know for us new youtubers! All I use is my smartphone and tripod. Looking to upgrade my sound quality. Thanks for the video!

Best thing for tiktoks is lightycase.com. I got it for 3 months now and I can say it is awesome. Quality is Insane. My recommendation.

You're such a great educator. I wish you all the best.

So freaking helpful!! Thank u so much 😭❤️

That little cell phone holder is indeed awesome. I used one on travel and it was great. Light and really stabilizes.

I'm just starting to learn how to do vlogging during this quarantine and search for this kind of video for me learn more on it. I will be using my phone for vlogging and thanks a lot for the video really helpful! Cheers to all small youtubers that just started their vlog just like me. 😍

Sean thanks a lot for showing wonderful must have accessories. Will try to find them online. You and Benji have been a great motivator and helping me move towards my goal. Thank you

I started recording on smartphone and I can’t wait to keep getting better!

Thanks Sean for continuing to bring great advice to the rest of us YouTubbers. You always have good tips to help us level up no matter what level we are.

didn't know about that 4K format for recording, even with all the research I've done prior to stumbling across this video. thanks for the tip!

Thanks bro...I wanted to start creating more content but didnt have a good camera. U gave me confidence to jump in with my phone jus increased the quality💯

ah man! missed the premiere!!! Here for the replay! I love that you use your window as a light source at home. Like buttoned SMASHED! I'm still in the beginning stages of KZfaq, so I appreciate all the inexpensive recommendations!

Thank you for this video! So very very helpful, all of your videos are super! Thank you for being so willing to share all you know. As a retired person I really appreciate how clearly you explain the important details, I am just beginning on KZfaq and I'm not sure what I would have done without your help, thanks again!

You can also use the flash light on your phone when you record that works to

Good stuff, Father's Day is just around the corner my fellow dad creator's. Good gifts for dads.

I was just thinking a few days ago about the price and I knew I couldn’t get one I sure do hope I could win ❤️

Sean, I appreciate all the content both you, Omar & Rachel do together. This was extremely helpful.

Hey, just wanted to point out that the vastar smartphone mounts if you flip it over so the phone tightening knob is at the bottom, there is a 1/4" screw point that you can attach a cold-shoe mount like the SmallRig one then you can mount a microphone or light to that. You can see the mount point at 0:59. Also for connecting the TRS to the TRRS connectors, you can get one that splits out the microphone and headphone which lets you monitor the audio too without having to unplug and replug things.

Small up and coming vloggers looking for ideas on how to start this is a great video . . . Good luck to all the new KZfaqrs out there I wish the best on y'all journey let's all support each other 👍

This was super helpful! Glad I found this video before i invested in an expensive camera! Thank you

I love the advice you give on her I'm try to learn my self what light works best try to make my own set that works with my budget thanks for the advice ..

Thank you man! I'm a new KZfaqr going on my 3rd week! Your alls videos have been and are going to be a big help a long my crazy Journey on this platform. So yet again thank you very much for all of your all's content. I haven't even watched all the videos that I have seen that's going to help me grow my channel. But definitely know you all are going to be part of my playlist! Thanks again! The Loon with the Toons

I am thinking of starting my own KZfaq channel after my exams, wish me luck. Thank you Sean for Inspiring me!

One of my favorite accessories for creating content is my Shure Motiv MV88 it is not cheap but worth getting cause the sound quality is ten times better than using the built in mic on my phone!

Just bought all this stuff to start my own KZfaq channel. Really impressive and right to the point. Exactly the video I needed to jump right into it. Great links to Amazon as well. Got everything ordered in a matter of 10 minutes. Right on brother.

Super helpful video, started two weeks ago!

You read my mind with this video! Thanks!

Ulanzi mini mount is very good!! You have to add it in the list! Model ST-02S

Love the way you execute your videos. Spot on Love your drive. Peace my brother

Thank you for showing us this. Now i know how to install my camera with the small round lighting.

To be honest (and cheap) I found that the phone clip from a cheap selfie stick has a 1/4 20 thread on it. I put that right on my tripod and I'm good to go.

Thank you so much for this amazing tip☺️💜

He did this in under 10 minutes... This is the BIGGEST lesson I got from here.

Your videos are absolutely brilliant!! Clear, concise and very easy to watch and learn from. Thank You!!

Love to get those accessories. It's time I upgrade. Thank you for the information!

As always, so much value! Thanks for making videos

I have just started my own Chanel and have been watching your videos for a few weeks now. You have been a massive help. Thank you 🙏🏾

THIS IS PERFECT IM STARTING YT! AND THIS WAS JUST-YESSSSS AMAZING TYSMMM!

Awesome stuff Sean, I was looking into some stuff like this the other day. Thanks for the tips...!

Started KZfaq lately and you have been a great help! Thank you.

I LOVED this video. Thank you so much for being so helpful and informative! Definitely checking out the microphone video!

Sean, love your content man. One thing I notice a lot with the items you recommend from Amazon, is that they're not available for shipping to New Zealand and probably some other countries around the world. Would be awesome if you did a video on some of these things with only items that ship globally from Amazon. Keep up the great work!

Great video!! Just when i feel like i need to invest in a ton of tech....you remind me...i dont!!

I am new and this is the most helpful video in terms of filming with a smartphone. Thank you so much!

You inspired me to use much of what I already had phone tripod ect, to make my videos. You're awesome!

Great video. Appreciate all the great tips. Only comment.... the lighting from the Neewer light was a little too 'brassy' for my liking. Would there have been a way to tone it down with some sort of a gel set-up? Managed to low ball some of my own purchases even further: got a tripod from $5 Below (store), an $11 ring light on sale from K-Mart, invested in a stand alone Dockem Koala wall mount for around $15, and am currently working on buying an external mic. Will definitely be checking out your microphone video. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and expertise.

I like how he didn’t miss one link and I could get everything ,if you look in the description box he didn’t miss one thing 👍🏽👏🏽😂

Nice! we are actually at this point, new channel! this is very helpful

Always so helpful. Thank you👏👏

me: using anything tall in my house to support the phone 😂

His is a great video, I go the video rig, I’ll be getting the mic 🎤 and light 💡 soon. I got a Boya mic though. Wish the best to everyone creating content for KZfaq !! 🔥

Wow! A really good video... some great information, no fluff, and heavy advertising, all delivered by a really good on-camera talent. It is obvious you know your stuff, and I appreciate your sharing so well. I've used my iPhone 8 for a number of shots where our bigger camera would SCREAM "HEY GUYS! LOOK, A VIDEO CAMERA!" I've also shot some really excellent stills and could really benefit from some of the accessories you mention. I'm checking out the top 5 mics video next. I've got at least $2,200 worth of professional mics and gear, so I look forward to using it with the phone. Nicely done, so thanks again for a great job!

Quick and to the point! Love the video

Just Started KZfaq To Show My Family That I Can Be Someone

How many lights can attached to the UNAZI? I think I'll need to have two lights and a Mic sense my living doesn't have a ceiling light.

Thank you for sharing this video, I was looking for this! 🙌

After 3.6 years of searching KZfaq hands me this gem! Thank you so much Think Media :) you have a subber.

Im so thankful for this video! After a year and a half I'm getting back in to video blogging and I needed help and found this video Great job!!

I do a lot mobile filmmaking, so I keep an ulanzi STO-3, 2 moment lenses, a fotga nd filter, a Rode videomic me, and a joby 325 on me all the time. I just use available light, which means when the sun is gone I'm out of luck. Lol

‘Create content ‘ ... sitting on your backside talking to camera!😀

Thank you for this! This is the most informative video i have found. Beginner here!

One of the best explanations! Thanks 🙏

You're the best ❤️

U didn’t mention where to get the LED rectangular light!!!!!!!

Nice review, the light is this one. Neewer Dimmable 176 LED Video Light 5600K on Camera Light Panel with 2600mAh Battery and USB Charger for Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Panasonic, Sony, and Other Digital SLR Cameras for Photography

Thank you so much! I need tips which are easy, affordable and manageable, and this video is so helpful!

For some reason couldn't find the link for the lighting :( please provide

When you were running the TacStar Shotgun and iPhone8 were you also recording audio from the lavalier?

I am French and I just love your YT channel ! Thank you for your very good work.

Thanks so much Sean. I’ve been getting feedback from viewers reporting my light and sound is good but sometimes distracting. I’m following your suggestions! Please thinking of us "newbie KZfaqrs!"
