Remote Video Recording – Desktop Video Kit Equipment Suggestions

In Resources by A. Lee Judge

To dramatically improve the video and audio of your desktop video recording session, you need these four items:


Camera: OBSBOT Meet 2-4K Webcam

https://amzn.to/43rzwOH

We recommend this webcam due to its high resolution and plug-and-play capabilities. The lens does not distort the face. It adjusts well to indoor and low lighting conditions when needed.

Microphone: ZAFFIRO USB Lavalier Microphone

https://amzn.to/4nxiYMm

This simple, low-cost microphone serves the purpose of getting the microphone close to your voice, without picking up distant sounds. It allows for exact placement and eliminates the risk of a desk mic being too far away or getting bumped during recording. (Alternative if unavailable: https://amzn.to/4oh4gdB)

Light: RALENO LED Video Light

https://amzn.to/4nrQeV3

The difference between grainy/webcam-looking video versus sharp, professional-looking video is properly placed adequate lighting. This small and flat LED light sits on a mini-tripod, allowing you to easily move the light and direct it towards your face as needed.

Mini Desktop Tripods (order 2): ZOINSHOT mini-tripod

https://amzn.to/4ohdOFq  

Order 2 of these, one for your camera and one for your light.
Important: Having the ability to move and place your camera and lighting makes a huge difference in your final video. They allow proper height, eye-line, and angles to make your video look more professional. (Alternative if unavailable: https://amzn.to/4qB4BJy)


Optional: Travel Case

Small enough to pack all the items and throw them in your backpack with protection.
