GUIDES

Creating your ideal YouTube setup

Find a camera that can shoot up
to 4K quality footage and offers
options for shooting at variable
frames rates such as 1080/60 or
1080/90. This will give your cam-
era room to grow along with your
channel.
Consider getting a camera with
a flip-out screen to help you frame
your shot.
Invest in a solid fast lens. We
recommend a 24 to 70mm 2.8 to
cover most of your shots.

QUIET ON SET
Now that you have a dedicated
camera, where are you going to
shoot? We recommend creating a
dedicated space for recording. This
is an essential part of creating your
ideal YouTube setup.
For an at-home production
space, you can convert a spare
bedroom into a YouTube studio.
It might be a good idea to get

creative and paint your walls, hang some contrast-

ing colored art and add some cool lighting, like some

Edison-style lighting in the background for bokeh.

Once you’ve done this, all you have to do is turn the

camera on, sit down and record.

Don’t have a room to spare? One simple trick is to

decorate a functional room in your home such as a

living room, bedroom or kitchen. Once the room is

designed to fit the feel of your channel, set up your

gear and record. Make sure to note where all of your

equipment is placed when recording to stay consis-

tent with each video.

If you don’t have a room that fits your channel’s

brand, you can always purchase a backdrop that you

can set up anywhere and anytime you need to record.

We recommend picking up a white backdrop and an

RGB light so that you can change the color of your

backdrop as you wish.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! BUT MOSTLY

LIGHTS...

Next step in ramping up your YouTube setup is to up

your lighting game.

If you’ve been using natural light, consider a

softbox or a ring light. Investing in lighting is a

great way to up your video game. We recommend
