    camera Which small upgrade should come first?

    Yes. I'm aware of that. I just don't know how important it is for videos like mine. Also, I really don't know what's the minimal space I need to set it up.

    But what's the minimum required for 3 point lighting? And also - do I really need it? I know 3 point lighting is great for creating a cinematographic shot, but how important is it, really? How much will it actually improve my channel? (Yes, I totally think that a good image is important, I'm...

    I guess... I just really have no idea what to do. Not sure what I'm looking to achieve there, and definitely not how to go about doing it.

    MUCH easier said then done. Housing ain't cheap.

    Seems like some serious kit. Waay more than I have (or even think I need).

    I totally don't blame for it. In fact - I really appreciate your "approval" of my current sound quality. Lifts a significant burden off my chest. Of course I will upgrade that aspect, too, at some point, but to begin with - the was the only thing I purchased for my channel, so I'm glad I don't...

    Of course the second one sounds much better. I wouldn't dream of using my phone's built in mic. And I'm sure that with more research I can get better results, but I don't know that this is the best use of my time. After all, this is not going to be playing in cinemas near you. I want good sound...

    Thank you very much for the explanation. Two question: 1. I don't understand why a condenser is better for my situation. With a dynamic mic, I can eliminate nearly all of the noises (including echo) by placing it much closer to me. Not so with a condenser. Am I wrong? 2. I understand what you...

    So - just hang blankets in front of me? Any blanket? Maybe I didn't make my point clear. The point isn't that I don't know how to use the settings, but rather that I can play with them using the free apps that I have anyway. What will the paid app do differently here? Unfortunately, I don't...

    camera Which small upgrade should come first?

    Main problem with that is that I don't really have the space for a good 3-point setup. In front of me, I have a desk, and then a window. Behind me - I have stairs, so there's some distance between myself and the wall behind me, but I can't use this space to step back (or I'd fall down the...

    This video is with sound from my camera mic, which is why it sounds so awful. I didn't use my proper mic here, because it was just to give examples of the video quality. I don't feel that I have a need for a wireless mic. I'm guessing a wired one will be a lot cheaper and more reliable. The...

    Why? What were the arguments that I made?

    camera Which small upgrade should come first?

    Here are two examples that I made this morning to illustrate my point. One with low ISO (200), the other with higher ISO (1200). https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOItZo3k2k0BIO5-P2kTKN0TutJSJZbOzBBqGrFHHHc-ZQblV1cU8zWML_OHM1a3A?key=LTZjMW9zVDdENGRKY2JjZ010LU5uM1ZUaF9hMFl3

    camera Which small upgrade should come first?

    Well, we're arguing semantics. It's all a matter of how you define "mediocre" vs "great", and how that definition might change, depending on what it is that we're evaluating. It was a Samson Meteor. Also a budget phone, but supposedly quite good value for money. I'm sure it wasn't set up the...

    camera Which small upgrade should come first?

    Same is true for a mediocre camera. The thing is that you say (and are probably right) - that mediocre cameras don't really exist. What you're basically saying is that I have mediocre lighting and sound, and a very good camera. === When cameras were bad, lighting improved their performance...
