It's easy to get carried away when it comes to gear. I try my best to keep things minimal so I thought you might be interested in what I use, especially when it comes to finding the balance between video quality and space-saving. In order of importance it's always AUDIO > LIGHTING > CAMERA QUALITY. (I've listed everything in the video description along with budget alternatives.

Love this! As a fellow YT-er, I'm always curious how others record their videos. It's remarkable how it all fits in one bag, but I do wonder: will you actually be traveling with the whole setup? I'm getting anxious just thinking about the backpack getting lost and it isn't even mine 😬! I've also put in so much time researching gear before I even started, but - constrained by my budget - ended up using my newly bought iPhone 12 Pro to shoot in 4K. I'm actually blown away by the quality of the footage especially after light color correction), as long as the lighting is decent. I have a couple of mics, but right now I'm using a lavalier mic. I agree with you, reliability is an issue. I've tried different methods (taped to my chest; clipped on t-shirt; etc), but ended up clipping it on a buttoned shirt. I'm actually content with the current setup because there's already a ton that I can learn this way. They say it's not the camera, but the what you _do_ with the camera, that makes the difference. And that's what I can play with. Over time, as my channel (hopefully) grows, I hope to upgrade my gear. Then I may look into shooting in s-log and a boom mic.
I'm probably super off here... but I noticed you say squid a lot. Where do you live where you are paying 30 squid for anything? Is this the fabled Atlantis?
Hi Daniel love your videos, and enjoy this video how you explain the whole concepts of your gear to make your videos, but can you do a Q&A video about family life in your new home and include family members especially the baby😎😉😊
I wish ppl would talk more about cooling a room especially for ppl that live i hotter states/countries without compromising audio quality. From expensive to cheap but still just as effective
As minimalist Thank you I just bought everything. I tried using all your link but some did not lead me to the specific thing(had to find them myself) I think you should edit the link so you cut paid too. I wish you had a video where you who is the angle you set the lighting
I do love your style and work folw, im kinda like you with wanting the most out of very little (maybe its a studio flat thing) but i just wanted to say thanks for the video
This is such a useful video for us youtubers, packed into your usual clean and elegant style. Thank you for revealing us your setup. I've been following you since literally your first video, before it blew up in the algorithm. I remember struggling to believe that such a high quality video had only a couple of thousand views. Luckily things went into place soon for you. Best greetings from Italy! Mary Jane
As a minimalist who is always trying to find the most compact video setup, this video is super helpful! Question: which picture profile are you using with the Sony A7siii? I have the A6400 and A7C but might one day upgrade to the A7siii
Great video on compacting your youtube A/V kit - but we definitely have very different definitions of "more affordable" so I appreciate that you also recommend just using your phone cam if you're just starting out. XD
That's so cool. Congrats for your organization. I do live streaming in events and meetings so I also but everything in a backpack a little bigger than yours and keeps me really focused
am not an architect nor a content creator, not a single creative gene in me, but I really enjoyed this vid, watched it many times; no clue why 😄 Thank you and keep it coming.
Where is your shirt from? Love the way the color is structured, looks like it could survive a few washes (unlike my luck with most of the popular brands).
