hey miles here miles Becker calm and in
this video I'm going to show you my
vlogging rig which is essentially the
camera the lighting and the microphone
that I'm using to create these YouTube
videos and I've got it kind of dialed in
a way that it all fits together it's
really compact it's extremely
lightweight which makes it incredibly
travel friendly I've got a couple of
speaking engagements coming up in Asia
this fall and winter and my goal has
my gear to pretty much as small as
possible so it can fit in my backpack
along with my clothes and minimize what
I'm having to carry with me while still
giving me that kind of production
quality that I really desire now when
you're doing video whether it's a vlog
or just talking head videos like these
there's two main components aside from
the video itself that really enhance and
make your video pop right it's lighting
and audio most people don't realize that
when you feel when you're watching a
video they like wow that felt that was
really a good production it's because
they've taken time to dial in their
audio and to dial in their lighting now
all of my talking head videos are shot
on cellphones and that's exactly what
I'm going to show you here so this is
kind of a perfect cell phone vlogging
rig once it's all together I'm not going
to show you the pieces I'm going to put
it all together and show you how it fits
together and all of the components that
I'm using for this you'll find a link in
the description that will take you to an
Amazon cart and it's got all of the
different individual items I don't
remember their exact model numbers and
whatnot I'll give you what I remember
off the top of my head but no the
description will have the precise exact
components that we're using so the first
piece is and I've got it all in front of
me here so if you see me look down and
reach down I'm just grabbing them to
show you the first piece is what's
called a grip now a grip is something
that's designed to hold the camera and
you can kind of build off of it in order
to create your rig right there are some
grips that are very expensive being they
were Kickstarter someone can go to $300
this thing I believe was under $50 it's
made by mobo again links going to be in
the bottom and for the example I'm
shooting on my Nexus
s my Nexus 6p and for the example I'm
going to show you on my wife's iPhone s
E and some of these parts are not i
phone friendly and some of them are
iphone friendly and i'll distinguish
which is in which isn't so the first
thing we do here is it's really simple
this grip has a little spinner on top
it's got a spring in it so I slide the
phone in it and then I just simply
tighten down on the top and what it does
is it physically grips the phone and
this is kind of designed to be able to
be held it gives you a better way to
hold your camera so if you're out
walking around you're taking shots you
can do it this way and obviously you can
do the selfie shot this way and this
added piece on the bottom adds a little
bit of weight it's just a better way of
holding your camera versus the kind of
like wobble cam this way but that's not
how I use that this is just the starting
point the next piece that I add on to
this is a little tripod a flexible
tripod so this lower weighted portion
unscrews and it has a tripod mount on
the bottom and this if you saw my video
where I was at Old Faithful doing the
marketing lesson from Old Faithful this
is essentially the rig how it was set up
and any time I'm not walking around in
nature taking a video this is how it's
set up now I use this job or Joby Mike
it's Jo py is a gorilla pod you're
probably familiar with it it's a very
common vlogger set up here and it's the
good old selfie shot right you kind of
hold it out at arm's length you really
get a nice frame shot you can keep an
eye on what's going on behind you and
for a lot of my videos that is enough
this also works and I use this the same
way on a standard tripod like I'm on a
tripod right now I'm using a reveille
which is kind of the Amazon cheapo
special I am going to upgrade my tripod
to something that's lighter weight and
even more compact I'm probably going to
go with a Manfrotto
but it's going to be literally like 10
times as expensive the Ravelli tripod
it's on the $20 tripod this is about
3035 if I were to do this again I would
get the one that has a ball head so I
can swivel the head and make it vertical
but that's kind of another story I'm
going to set
the starting point to our rig down now
and we're going to talk about
microphones because that's the next
component that we need to take care of
and the first microphone you've probably
heard me talk about this one before
it's the iRig mic lab now this is a
really simple lavalier microphone that
plugs into the kind of earbud pork in
your camera right into your cell phone
so I'm actually using it now I'm going
to stand back and kind of get on my
tippy-toes and you can see it's right
here it's pinned on to my shirt
I usually pin it on just below the shot
so it's out of the shot but what it does
is it really helps kind of limit the
echo and it's a really simple setup it
does have a cable on it so this is what
I use this is Android friendly it works
on Android it's also iPhone friendly up
through the iPhone 6 and 6s level the
iPhone 7 got rid of that little earbud
port so if you're on an iPhone 7 you got
to use something different which I will
show you in a quick minute here but this
microphone I think is $35 and it's great
for what it is for its price point it is
outstanding it's not a professional
level microphone but it is hundreds of
times better than the standard cell
phone audio and really being able to
limit that and kind of control that
audio takes your videos to the next
level it performs really well in a
slight breeze and in the wind as well I
was pleasantly surprised with it so what
I'm using right now I'm in a very echoey
room right now you probably get a little
bit of the echo but if I unplugged it
you would be like whoa you're in an echo
chamber dude so controlling your audio
is important now let's talk about the
next one the iPhone friendly one this is
made by sher and this is a new
microphone if you saw the episode on
this channel where I interviewed my wife
Melanie about social media marketing
this was the microphone that we are
testing now this is about a two hundred
dollar microphone if my memory serves me
correctly and sure if you're not
familiar with sure-sure is an industry
standard microphone for musicians the
shure 58 XLR microphone has been used by
singers and vocalists and rock stars for
30 plus years it is the industry
standard for musicians so this is you're
really getting into kind of like
super high quality professional stuff
now as we open it you'll see it's a very
nice and compact setup and what I like
about this one is it doesn't have a
cable and it actually fits into the
phone now it's got a big kind of fuzzy
windscreen on I'm gonna take that off
real quick and you're going to see that
it is able to be kind of turned and
angled it's got two microphones so it's
got a left and a right so it's really
really powerful for picking up great
stereo kind of input and you'll notice
it's got a Apple lightning port on the
bottom so I'm gonna bring back in my rig
and here's my rig and I simply plug it
into the Lightning port here snaps in
and that's it so one of the real real
benefits of this is that I'm now free
from the microphone and if I have other
people around me I'm able to kind of
really get a great audio sound without
being tied into it which is pretty
fantastic
this microphone I believe it is like I
said about $200 this is the one that we
tested I'm using this for my podcasting
when I'm doing just audio podcasting
we're also testing this for our my wife
and my business we sell mp3s and this is
literally the new mic that we're using
for that entire business it is one of
the top quality mics I've ever had it
was between this and a road and I'm
really thankful we went with this mic
because it is fantastic so at this point
we have one more component we have to
dial in and that is the lighting and
before I had to really tall lights that
stood on their own separate tripods
which meant I had to carry not only two
big lights but also the tripods and the
cords etc now at this point I have found
a new light from the same manufacturer
and this is it it is much smaller much
more compact you can see it's very thin
I've got the battery on the back the
batteries are sold separately with this
company it's I believe
300 or 360 LED lights and it is a really
really simple setup but it's really
powerful at the same time listening can
go blinding I've got it set really low
so you can kind of see it work this is
not set full blast but you can tell it
really even on a low setting is kind of
really common
credibly powerful on the back you can
see when you turn it on you can see that
it's got this entire gauge you have two
different color temperatures you just
spin the dial to increase and decrease
it as you choose and it's really getting
the lighting dialed on your videos is
really a way to get it to a professional
level to where you really look great and
oftentimes when I'm out in nature if you
see my videos in nature it's the fact
that I've got a light running that
really is taking those shots to the next
level because I'm illuminated and then
in the background you can see all the
nature illuminated both things get
picked up the cat by the camera really
well and that's what makes kind of a
professional looking production from a
very standard simple cell phone so how
does that work with the cell phone rig
well it's actually pretty special the
mobo has what's called a cold shoe on
top of it and this is a cold shoe if
you've ever seen on like DSLR cameras
how they got the spot for the microphone
or the lighting on top those are
generally hot shoes which means they
have power since this is a cold shoe it
means there's no power so I simply slid
that in and I tighten this down and at
this point my rig is complete now I'm
generally not going to be walking around
with this it's a little bit heavy but
it's not out of control I very well
could I also like to set this on like I
said a standard tripod so it's just
standing up but this is the move you
simply get it going you get your
temperature and your lighting dialed and
this is ultimately a professional level
vlogging rig or YouTube marketing rig
that will break down and fit in a
backpack it's super lightweight it's
really high quality it really makes your
videos pop to that next level and this
is exactly what I'm using when I'm on my
Android foam which I'm on right now I
don't use this mic I do use the iRig mic
lab the light was probably about 75
dollars plus the cost of the battery the
mobo kind of grip in the middle I think
was somewhere around the 30 to 50
dollars 30 to 50 for this the microphone
the iRig about 35 I think this was about
200 so you can
kind of piece it together as you see fit
for your particular needs if you're on a
budget there is a really easy way to do
this on a budget but all in all this is
what I'm using creating great results
the videos are coming out absolutely
fantastic and it's amazing when you take
just that little bit of time and energy
to really kind of dial in your lighting
in your audio that quality goes up to
the next level and as a content creator
myself I honestly look when you're
putting out videos that you like the
quality of it just feels better you're
more engaged you're more energetic with
it I think this is a perfect digital
nomad setup if you're someone who
travels full time like my wife and I do
you know you're always kind of got
mindful of how much space and how much
weight am i taking up right so this is
really the most compact and those
professional rig setup that I've been
able to come up with so that's it if you
enjoyed the video give me a thumbs up
here again you can find the different
items of the specific items on Amazon in
the link in the description if you're
using different components or if you
have questions of these components hit
me in the comments below I'm happy to
connect with you there and answer as
best I can
and if you think you've got a setup
that's superior to this let me know what
you're using I'd love to take a look at
your setup I've got a couple of months
before I head over to Asia and if I need
to fine-tune this at all I'm always
interested in in geeking out and my
lighting in my mics and learning a
little bit more about what you're using
and I just hope this has been helpful
for you took me a long time and a lot of
research to dial all these components
together to really minimize the the
space and the weight of this and I hope
you found that to be helpful and if you
have any questions let me know look
forward to connecting with you on the
next video be well
