I've had so many ask me what kind of cameras, audio equipment, TV screens, vido wall converters, mounts, lights and whatnot it takes to produce my content for the youtube channel. In this video I show you guys pretty much every piece of equipment I have.
AS OF TODAY Since October 4th 2019 (When I was monetized) my youtube channel has made me $107,128.62 total. Most of the early content was shot with my Note 9, then my note 10+ , then a mix of the S20 ultra + A6500. I don't feel anything here has been ultra expensive other than the S20 & the TV wall, and I really don't believe any of it was 100% needed for success, but with me trying to increase the quality greatly, I wanted to showcase what equipment I'm doing now.
I also didn't mention it in the video, but I am using Davinci Resolve to edit everything, AND IT IS FREE.
Here's the current full camera rig I use to take content when I'm not on the move. It consists of a A6500, Sony Lens, HDMI Monitor, a USB battery pack (To run the HDMI screen and keep the camera charged), and a super cheap/basic tripod.
**My monster camera rig**
Sony 16mm/2.8f lens
Toguard portable 7" IPS HDMI Monitor
Rhode VideoMic ~$200
Anker 20,000mah battery pack
**Overpriced cell phone I use for tiktok**
I use my cell phone to record b-roll for the video, since I don't feel like using the A6500 camera to do it, the stabilization is garbage and no one complains about the color difference/lighting difference between the two (I get plenty of complements anymore).
Samsung S20 Ultra
The much cheaper Note 10+
**The Gopros**
I see myself filming more and more content with the go-pro, especially getting the selfie stick and hero 9 into places I can't physically fit. I'll likely mount one of the Ulanzi lights (Below) to the stick so I have light AND a stick for those hard-to-reach places.

Gopro Hero 8 Black

**Lighting**
Here's all the lights I use, this video was shot with only two, but when all the lights are on, and not in use at my homeschool co op , it makes the studio look REAL nice.
Viltrox L116T Ultramobile light (No mount)
Neewer dimmable LED softbox (non mobile)
Neewer dimmable 460LED light (Mobile w/ batteries)
Ulanzi VL49 2000mah rechargeable light w/ cold shoes
**Video Wall*
I've easily had 100 people ask me about the HDMI matrix I use for the video wall and can never remember the name of it. It's very straight forward : Mount 4 TVs, plug them in , connect your PC to it and go.
2x2 HDMI matrix for the video wall
Z440 refurbished offlease governmentstyle work station PC w/ a boatton of ram. Amazon now has these roughly for the same price as Ebay does, at one time Ebay was half the price, so you'll want to monitor both websites for the best possible deal
4k HDMI Capture card - This is what I use for my twitch/studio content that's live. You can just plug the A6500 right into it , set it up on OBS and go. Pretty straightforward to use overall.
