A fantastic pro DSLR / Mirrorless camera! Be aware that currently, availability on gear is low. Other alternatives if you have trouble are Sony a6400 and the Sony ZV-E10.
In order to connect a camera that is NOT USB (like a DSLR), you’ll need a Capture Card. You can get an Elgato Cam Link that allows your Level 2, 3 or 4 setup to bring in an HDMI camera for your LIVE Videos.
This mount attaches to your desk and holds your camera. The Flex Arm is optional but gives you flexibility for positioning your camera where you want it!
This is a solid, low cost USB microphone that sounds good with most voice types. If you want to spend a little extra for more button controls, the Wave:3 is a great upgrade!
This kit will give you two lights for each side of your face, giving you more coverage to fill in shadows. Comes with light stands. If you want to lessen the footprint on the floor, you can upgrade your setup with more desk mounts or Varipoles (tension poles that go floor and take up less space).
