In this video, I will give you a tour of my minimalist YouTube studio setup for 2021. You'll get an idea of a home studio setup you can model as well as a YouTube background setup you could go for. I go through my desk setup, YouTube lighting, camera, mic, and other equipment to give you some ideas. If you've been looking for a home video studio setup that not only looks aesthetically pleasing on camera but also functional and time-saving, this equipment and setup will help your recording workflow more efficiently. For my YouTube studio, I went for a minimalist, dark, woody, but warm look. Watch this video tour if you want a simple setup that doesn't require thousands of dollars. The camera gear, lens, lighting, and audio/microphone produce high-quality videos for YouTube talking head and screen tutorial videos. The gear I use is ideal for beginners who don't want to spend too much but still want great quality videos. The main desk I use is a simple manual, height-adjustable stand up desk. The monitor, camera, and iPad all mount on a monitor pole to save desk and floor space, eliminating the need for a tripod. The background features a corner bookshelf from IKEA with some warm neutrals, wooden shelves and indoor plants to bring life into the backdrop. A list of equipment and gear I use is provided further down this description box. ▼ ▽ JOIN THE COMMUNITY - THE PRODUCTIVE DIGITAL CREATOR Join 10,000+ email subscribers who receive the latest tips and tutorials directly from me.
