Professional Lighting:
Soft, natural, and even illumination for a polished look.
This setup is designed with flexibility in mind, ensuring that every piece of equipment you invest in can be applied to multiple scenarios. Whether you're filming interviews, training content, or live presentations, this gear will adapt to your needs.
The lighting setup provides a soft, natural look while remaining versatile enough to work in different environments. The COB light and modifier allow you to shape the light to suit the scene, and the practical background lighting adds depth, making the visuals more engaging.
For audio, the wireless lav kit ensures clear, hands-free recording, and with built-in internal recording, there’s always a backup. The system I’ve recommended allows you to scale up for multiple speakers while keeping things simple and efficient. The addition of shotgun microphones, extension cables, and boom stands means you have alternative options, whether recording a one-to-one session or a group discussion.
Ultimately, this setup isn’t just about high quality—it's about maximising your investment. Each piece of equipment serves more than one purpose, giving you long-term value and the flexibility to adapt as your content evolves

Camera
Any mobile phone OR Mirrorless Camera
Lighting
Why? Continuous Output (COB) LED lights are powerful and provide consistent, high-quality illumination.
Benefit: They ensure proper exposure, reduce graininess in video, and provide natural-looking light that enhances the subject. The 100-300W range offers flexibility for different shooting environments.
LIGHT MODIFIER
Why? A lantern modifier diffuses light in a 360-degree spread.
Benefit: It creates soft, even lighting that mimics natural ambient light, reducing harsh shadows and making subjects look more flattering.
LIGHT STAND
Why? A sturdy light stand is essential for securely mounting the COB light with lantern modifier.
Benefit: Prevents tipping over, ensuring safety and consistent lighting placement.
PRACTICAL LIGHTS
Why? Background lighting adds depth and warmth to the scene.
Benefit: Makes the frame look more visually appealing, adds dimension, and prevents the subject from blending into the background.
WIRELESS LAV
Wireless Lav Kit that can also perform internal recording, just in case there are drop outs.
Why? Wireless lavaliers provide freedom of movement while capturing clean, professional audio. Internal recording acts as a safety net if there are transmission dropouts.
Benefit: Captures high-quality voice audio without cables restricting movement, and internal recording ensures a backup in case of wireless interference.
PLEASE MAKE SURE: They accept 3.5 mm Lav Mics
Additional AUDIO
To get 4 speakers out of the Lav microphones
Why? These split one audio input into two, allowing multiple lav microphones to connect to the same recording device or transmitter.
Benefit: Enables capturing audio from multiple speakers with a single receiver setup, reducing the need for extra equipment.
4 X On-Camera Shotgun Microphone for Camera
Why? Shotgun mics provide directional audio capture, reducing background noise.
Benefit: Great for backup audio or capturing additional sound sources, especially for interview-style videos where lavs may pick up rustling noises.
4 X Audio Extension Cable 3m, 3.5mm Male to Female
Why? Allows flexibility in mic placement by extending the reach of lav or shotgun mics.
Benefit: Ensures better mic positioning without being limited by short cable lengths.
4 X Tripod Boom Microphone Stand
Why? Essential for mounting shotgun mics in the right position without being held manually.
Benefit: Keeps mics stable, positioned close to the speaker’s mouth.
4 X Ball Head Mount
Why? Allows flexible positioning of shotgun mics or other mounted gear.
Benefit: Ensures precise angling for optimal audio capture, especially when mounting on boom stands or tripods.
