Ever since I watched the DSLR Video Shooter – Full Youtube Studio on ONE SINGLE STAND! I knew that if or when I had the space that this would be my next video setup. Since we moved in July I now not only have the space I have several different settings that I can use my video setup on a single stand.
I have just started testing the setup and the following is how I used this stand in my backyard to run a class meeting. I have an assortment of options on how I can configure this stand since I have used Manfrotto super clamps and other higher-end accessories. I went with a bit heavier stand than what Caleb in the DSLR Video Shooter video had recommended and while the weight and size are a bit of an issue the stability and ease of use are great. I wanted to have a stand that I could use in as many settings and my initial tests are confirming the heavier stand was a good choice.
We have an amazing backyard and garden so while I can, I am enjoying the sun and shade and will be running my class meetings and shooting my next few series of instructional videos outside.
I will be recording several videos for some new courses I am developing so I will be testing out this stand and will be experimenting with a variety of configurations. Adding my DSLR and teleprompter will be as easy as clamping on another super clamp and ball head and then adding the camera.
Once I get things sorted out I will be adding another section to my Dwayne’s DIY Video Setup series. Looking forward to sharing what I learn.
