This isn’t a tech review but instead more of a show and tell about what cameras, camera bags, easel and the rest of my setup that I use for filming my art videos for those who have been asking about what I use.

- Winsome Trading Barton Kitchen Cart in Bamboo https://www.amazon.com/Winsome-Wood-80434-WW-Barton-Kitchen/dp/B01JPHD8CU This one doesn’t seem to be available anymore but I’m linking it so you can see the details in the one I’m using. There are a ton of similar ones available though.
- Easel Light https://amzn.to/2TJiEi2
- Palette Lamp https://amzn.to/3oPGjvw
- Monitor wall mount (this is where I look at my reference photos) https://amzn.to/2U05Zrf
- Webcam – Logitech (no link, mine are both outdated and no longer sold from what I can see. I’m super helpful aren’t I?)
- I shoot the footage of art on a Canon VIXIA HF G20 HD camcorder. No link because it’s very outdated as well. It does its job and there is no reason to replace it yet, but you can get better for less than I paid for mine. Don’t feel like you need the newest and best tech for recording your videos. You really don’t! Most of what I have will last for many MANY years to come!
- I edit my videos and photos with Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Premier Pro https://bit.ly/2G0lLsk
