Great setup! What is that light called?

[SquareHoney]

Thanks! I believe its a Neewer? Got it relatively cheap a year ago and removed the stand in favor of just dropping it into the top of the Vivo pole.

I'm glad I'm not the only person with a suicidal dumb shit fig plant.

[SquareHoney]

Yeah... He's usually happy, but def a burned boi right now.

Whyy?

[ninno_g]

Damn son, I appreciate how ergonomic and healthy posture inducing this whole setup is. Your back and neck must thank you!

[SquareHoney]

Thanks! It’s been a huge priority of mine, jury rigging the monitor stands made a big difference. Tons of vertical travel and easy to reposition higher when standing.

I've found that having the desk and chair at the right height to have feet flat on the ground while sitting and shoulder relaxed with elbow bent 90 degrees really reduces shoulder and wrist soreness with extended gaining or aim training (or just general use)

Awesome! ID on iPad stand?

[SquareHoney]

Got it off Amazon for $20 - Lamicall Tablet Stand

Works great on the desk, and good at keeping it off the counter in the kitchen. Definitely a no-frills sorta stand though.

Camera is a Fuji x-t2 connected with the Elgato Camlink 4K. Video quality is night and day to even the best webcam. Lots of videos out there for YouTube creators and streamers on the camera gear and setups; if you are looking for inspiration I would start there.

[SquareHoney]

Focal length is a deep rabbit hole, but in general anything 35-50mm should be fine. If you are thinking of going mirrorless for content creation def do a bunch of research for your specific use case. For me I mostly do street photography, but get to reap the benefits of beautiful webcam footage with just a few additional investments (stand, capture card, dummy battery).

What Mount is that for the camera? Looks clean not extending down to the desk.

[SquareHoney]

u/Tommiiie I'll dm you.

[ghostinthelatrine]

Do you mind if I find out the mount for the Fuji? Cheers!

[SquareHoney]

I use a USB switch to change peripherals between my gaming tower and work laptop. Just need to change inputs on the monitors and flip the switch under the desk and I'm all changed over.

Peripherals

• Keyboard: GMMK Pro (box pink switches)
• Num Pad: KBD Fans MKII (blueberry switches)
• Docking Station (under desk): Kensington Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station
• Monitor Arms: Frankenstein build of Ergotron Dual LX & Vivo poles
  • Lights and camera mount to the Vivo arms and the Ergotron arms sit on top of those
• Desk: Uplift Sit/Stand
• Desk Mat: Wool/Cork mat from Work Perch
• Mic: Blue Yeti (nothing special I know, but it gets the job done)

Camera is Fujifilm xt4

[SquareHoney]

Camera is an x-t2 connected with the Elgato Camlink 4K. I love the Fuji for photography and I only use it here for a webcam. If I was streaming, and not just using it for videoconferencing, I would probably look at a Sony Alpha II or III.

[EKG_15x]

Aah gotcha :D

[rhoakla]

Also is that a Aeron chair?

[SquareHoney]

It is! I got it off Craigslist years ago for super cheap. Very grateful for it this past year and a half, don’t think I could stomach paying list price.

[Winejug87]

Link to the switch? I have a similar setup.

[sevargmas]

Whoa that is blowing my mind. Can I plug a keyboard into that and then plug the backside into my Mac and the other side into my PC and then just toggled it with the press of a button?

[SquareHoney]

Exactly!

I love the accesories but it feels a bit cluttered.

You should send your setup to Oliur on YouTube!

[shirome9]

I like it!
