In this video, I show you how you can create a Youtube studio with a budget of $0, a budget of $25.000, and a lot of steps in between. I will talk about low budget cameras, microphones, lights, and about better quality gear to make your final result more professional.
After watching this video you will know what kind of result you can have with the budget you have! But more important than the budget is YOU! You can film yourself using your smartphone and have an amazing result.
Below you see a list with all the links to the gear I talk about. Some links are affiliate links and give me a commission when you buy them through my link. You don’t pay more :). Thank you for that!

Dear Ferdy! Can you tell me what is the brand your beautiful back decor little round lamp? Thank you your kind reply!
Great video, I really enjoyed it. I too hate tripods and was wondering if you could let me know the name of the overhead framework for your lighting rig? I need this in my life! Thank you
Hi can you provide a name or a link to the panels you used, please?
Hi Ferdy, super gaaf dat je deze video hebt gemaakt. Heel leerzaam! In het overzicht van de spullen zie ik audio-diffuser wanden niet staan. Mag ik vragen waar je die vandaan hebt? Thanks!
Hi Ferdy! Amazing video 🙂 I love your studio! I have question: How it is possible that you are recording everything on your laptop and we are not hiring the fan? When i Try to record the screen on my mac the fan is running so loud that is very naoticible. .. Tell me your way of doing it. Cheers Bro 🙂
You are amazing Ferdy. Love you brother.
