Gear For Zoom Hosts and Participants
USB Microphones
Our Blue Snowball has been a good microphone for Zoom and computer recording.
We are considering upgrading to a Rode NT-USB.
Webcam
We are very happy with our Logitech C922 Pro Stream Webcam 1080P! You can see how to set up and use it in our YouTube Video.
Gear For Video Creators
Lavalier Microphone
The Boya BY-M1 is super affordable and makes a huge difference in the videos we film using a smart phone.
Phone Holder for Tripod
The Ailun Tripod Phone Mount Holder securely holds our smart phone on our camera tripod.
Overhead Video Stand
We use the Arkon Pro Phone Stand HD8RV29 for holding a smart phone to film overhead videos.
Lighting
To help avoid glare in Marcia’s glasses, we use lighting that is reflected instead of direct. The kit we have is the CowboyStudio Photography & Video Portrait Umbrella Continuous Triple Lighting Kit.
