AUDIO: A $70 podcast mic that is professional level and competes with far more expensive and complicated setups. Simply plug it into the USB port on your computer.

LIGHTING: At just $80, this 2-light kit is a huge step up from your room lights and even the common “ring” light.

Beginner – TOTAL $292
1.1 Camera 4K Web Cam (Obsbot) 130

1.3 Mic Pop Filter 10
1.4 Lights 2-Light Kit (LimoStudio) 82

MORE DETAILS: Many consumers make the mistake of thinking all 4K web cams are created equal. It takes a professional filmmaker to examine the actual specs and real life quality that this web cam delivers. We believe it is the best on the market compared to any web cam under $250.

You’ll notice that this $70 podcast mic is the same mic found in all of our packages, all the way up to the $9,700 pro package! The reason is because we’ve tested it against mics 10 times the price (and complexity!) and there is almost no noticeable difference, even to our trained audio technician’s ears. Listen to some of our professional podcast and film shoots on our site to see how incredilbe this super affordable and versatile mic is. You can use it with either USB connection simply plugged into your computer or with high end XLR recorders.

At just $80, this 2-light kit is a huge step up from your room lights and even the common “ring” light. The first thing you will notice when comparing these lights to others is the soft flattering light that can only be achieved from what’s called a soft boxes. The ones included with this kit do a good job of removing the dim or harsh peaks and shadows that come from amateur lights are good lights that don’t have a diffusion like a soft box.

Intermediate Level - $800

VIDEO: The camera ads a larger sensor, more light, crisper image, and modest blur to your background for a cinematic look.

LIGHTING: Upgraded lights and soft boxes produce more powerful, accurate and flattering light for skin tones.

AUDIO: A boom arm for close proximity to the mic, meaning increased fidelity and reduced background noise.

2.7 19″ Octagon Soft box (Ambitful) 50
2.8 2 Light Stands (EMART) 30

MORE DETAILS: At over double the price of our beginner web cam, this one is at least triple the quality because of it’s large Sony sensor and large aperture lens that together create a professional shallow depth of field, meaning your background will be more blurry than your subject for a cinematic and professional look.

Stepping up from $85 to $450 lights is a massive upgrade in this package. If you have the budget, it’s worth every penny as the much larger soft boxes and more powerful lights mean a more even and accurate color on you the subject. This flattering soft and even light can even reduce the appearance of blemishes like bags under your eyes.
