PRO STUDIO KIT
The setup running channels above 50K subscribers.
Full-frame Sony body. Studio shotgun mic. Three-point Aputure lighting. The exact rig Aaron and his managed clients film @GotCoach with. This is what a $300K-per-year YouTube channel looks like behind the camera.
Past 10K subs, your gear should match your output. Bigger sensor cameras for cinematic depth of field. Audio that fills out a podcast as easily as a long-form video. Lighting that lets you film any room any time. The ROI math is simple: at this stage one missed lead from a video that looked amateur costs more than this whole kit.
