Just in case you were not aware, but ULANZI has used parts of your video for their product page.

It kind of seemed like first half of the video you didn't really need the $100 rig at all. Laptop was sitting on totally different stand, for audio you've used different arms, and for the light... you had to modify the rig with another adapter. Which reminds me... you didn't even use it for audio setup. It just kept going like that... buy more things to make it work theme. It's like watching a really long commercial of all the parts you should buy to make this thing work. To prove my point you have 7 links in your video description to all the extra things you need to buy. I get you need to make money but man... you really made sure to push tons of products on this video.

Caleb I absolutely love these different rigs and setups that you create and demonstrate. Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into these setups and videos, you have helped me (and I'm sure many many others based on the comments) SO MUCH. You're a champion. Cheers mate!

How does that Rode Video Micro sound better than my Rode VideoMic Pro?! That literally sounds as good as a Shure SM7B 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

I think this is exactly what I've been needing. I do a lot of facedown filming and have a need for a better mic position while filming. This is so helpful!Thank you SO much!

As a supporting gadget nerd, I like seeing videos like this because there isn't a lot out there in regards to setting up a rig to support cameras and other equipment.

Great Video!!! very well put together and great Editing! Just what I was looking for!

The Handy man of KZread for camera and filming category 💓🔥 Love your contact and your ideas and you are one of the people who made me know my purpose of life and what I love to do. ❤️

I always love seeing your ideas for setups. I get so much inspiration from your videos!

Thank you Caleb for all your awesome videos.

Always a pleasure to see new content from you. Even if it is a other DIY project.

Love these desk setup videos - keep em coming pls !

Love your videos on desktop rigs. Endless ideas 👊🏿

Literally perfect for what I want to develop my streaming setup into! Thx 🙏

Just what I've been looking for, thank you Caleb! 🙏🙏🙏

Nice video Caleb - we reviewed this product a while back and we are actually using it for product photography to hold things in the air - it can be pretty useful for that (and then remove the wires in post).

This is my set up. It is amazing. So many uses.

Always something amazing !!

Ordered 👌 Thanks Caleb 🙏

These videos are great!

I have bought one recently and highly recommend it!

Thanks man. Great thing

Thanks for the heads up.

What a fantastic video. Thanks.

I love these setup videos!

I love your build!

Great video! Love watching your content.

Ulanzi is my favorite budget camera gear brand. I been so happy with their products

Thank you!

thanks caleb, great video!

Just got one of these (through a EU provider) and I must admit that it's a super useful addition for my small home studio. I even use it to switch from my desktop and laptop settings. Had to find an extra screw adapter to attach my Blue Yeti mike on the arm, but it works fairly well. The only thing is, I can't attach my camera, because I have prompter and the weight of the whole gig would be too much. Still, great suggestion!

I have edited myself into movies and TV shows using some of your advice, tips and tricks so thanks!!!

This looks fun 🐙

I was thinking how it would manage my a7iii. but u answered it.. it may be wobbly I guess.. dont want to risk it. will look for the other video stand u showed in the video. thank u!

I really like how you ended this with you tucked away in the bottom right corner… The rest was really good too, but it was funny at the end. Cheers!

You are the Man ✊💪

Dude, when I first saw this, it looked like it was the spitting image of your original design! Ended up buying it for myself, though it hangs from a floating shelf above my desk..

He he he…the master of a thousend creative camera configurations! Nice!

Love the stand! Take my $

The joined arms like that instead of ball joints between the various arm parts like on Elgato seems very nice if you don't need the articulation that ball joints gives you, and you avoid the weakness of a ball joint at the same time.

Very cool and interesting Caleb. The audio from that little Mic. sounds great!

Wow that looks like a particular Spiderman villain with all those arms

Although they took the notepad from you but you support them how much I love you😄❤

That is crazy good sound with that mic

Love the opening when you look like you are 4 foot tall. Hahaha. Great tips.

I have lots of different mounts and small lights from them and they always have discounts, their VL49 RGB lights are great when on sale for 2 for $20 especially. I love my El Gato multi-mount, but if I didn't have that and a nice boom arm already, this would be a nice setup.

I would LOVE to see a rig like this that could be used for behind and angled down to show in front of you at a desk. Just your hands and items as if you were showing people a bunch of new baseball cards you just got or something similar that does not get in the way that can have video, lighting and mic attachments or least places for them :)

Fantastic flexibility in a single accessory. Thanks for the review! 👍

Great idea! Im still using your Canon R6. :D

It does look pretty useful for the price! Next up: Doctor Octopus backpack recording setup . ;D

This would be perfect for me

Good one

Excellent as always. Probably a little to flimsy for my live streams.

Purchased the Falcon Eyes RX T12 using the link above, something to note for anyone else who chooses this light. The spigot on the back of the frame for me was directly pointing out and wasn't at a right angle as per the video (maybe they've changed the way it's packaged). If you look closely, there's another screw thread on the spigot piece. If you unscrew it with the help of an alan key from the other side, you can switch this to a right angle as per this video which supports the setup better :-)

This video : I subscribe ! Very complete video

I'm impressed with how much the Rode mic is rejecting background noise in your piece - it's not that noticeable that you're sitting in a room with hard, parallel walls.

Okay, go off! These thumbnails can't be beat!!!

I would like to see you deep dive into professional overhead set up

SO, the Professor is finally reducing his caffeine intake and normal service will be resuming. Have enjoyed this mini-series, but have missed the reviews and comparisons. Thanks for all the different set-ups (shot taken).

Bro what the heck lol pretty awesome

That's a pretty solid rig for just $100! Mine is a free moving stand and it cost me over $250 to put together.

Fun fact: The brand name "Ulanzi" comes from the Chinese name 優籃子, which means "excellent basket." Guess they were pretty smart not to translate it directly, eh?

Still smart cuz u can put many stuff in it

if ulanzi design the clamp with 2 position to grip, and the column placed at the center between the grip position, it would be stronger and not woblle i think :)

I have one I use alongside a Viozon (the other setup he showed, mine is on wheels). The Ulanzi does wobble like a mofo. Still, the reach and adjustability of it's arms outweighs this if you're not going to be in contact with your desk, causing said wobble. I use the Ulanzi for top-down and lights and it's great for those.

Bro he really partnered with Wish for this one. Kidding aside, I actually appreciate this solid review - I’m usually a skeptic of these kinds of stands.

That Rode Micro is a decent sounding mic for the money!

In theory, could you use this on the video battle station you showed off last week in place of the monitor arm? For the wobble issue, could the pipe have the clamp removed and a plate bolted to it instead, which could then be bolted directly into the desk? Could a fourth arm with a VESA plate be added to the pipe for a monitor? The two projects combined could make a really powerful set of tools for a one-person crew!

Inspector Gadget attacks again!

Great desk rig setup! (as always). Love your videos - real pity this Ulanzi system is over $230 on Canadian Amazon - I'll have to get creative..!

That wobble killed it for me. I'd rather spend a little more and be wobble free.

What a neat rig! 💯 Just wondering, is there a maximum weight for each arm of this rig?

Yo Caleb! We think you would love our new All-in-One video rig that will be coming out soon!

Caleb thanks for the video setting up a secondary shooting spot. I noticed some wobble. How steady is the rig? I tested many products but not this one and found that some shake to much when you touch the desk for example. What is your opinion?

@getfmlr

I have it and I would say it will still wobble depending on how high you set each arm and how far out it extends coupled with how much weight you put on it.

Everything will wobble if you attach it to a desk. That's unavoidable. If you want to avoid the wobble, you can't attach it to a desk. (Unless the desk is a large block of concrete that absolutely won't move when touching. But even then, the wooden desktop on top of a concrete block will move slightly when leaning on it - even if it's bolted down.)

Caleb - you’re the undisputed origami studio guru.

your channel is AWESOME!! Let me say that first. One thing I would love to know your views about is an "outdoor Podcast setup'. I think I can follow your advice for inside and get myself a great setup, but for those of us who love talking about the outdoors, specifically lawncare and backyard stuff, what would you suggest? Maybe just a gopro or a cell phone? maybe best light settings or whatever you feel. I rely on your knowledge to help me a lot. :-)

great video as usual, just a pity that Amazon lists all but the electronic parts as out of stock (at least for me). Keep up the good work.

I like the little computer in the background. Not sure if it's an Apple or a Commodore though...

The link of arms for stand ?

Absolutely Amazing! Am in the UK and this link works, this is great as the Wali three tier arms are harder to get here. Caleb, I bought a pole already based on one of the previous videos, it's a Duronic 80cm and it has a teleprompter mounted (again, from another of your videos!). The width on this pole is 3.2cm where as the Ulanzi pole is 2.8cm. Do you think the arms would work on this please?

Very nice video explaining the basic set up choices! If you would throw in a FEELWORLD or Blackmagic switcher it would be more complete, right?

Love this! Anyone here ideas where to buy in Europe? Or at least a different kind of brand/setup that’s pretty similar? Been looking for over a year 😅🥲

Since you recommend Ulanzi, I'd love to hear all opinion on their customer service. The comments under their apps suggest it's non-existent which may be a bit troubling.

I wonder if it's possible to get the swivel arms only. I already have two monitor arms and don't really want to add more to my desk. However, being able to add a light, camera and microphone would be sweet.

I was literally about to build your previous desk setup. Do you like this one or the other one better?

I didn't realize the double meaning of your title until 8:42

Hey friend, nice video! I have no idea why but I just searched your page and reverse sorted by oldest video, *How to Get Macro Shots With Any Lens* 10 years ago! So who is _that_ guy and when did you replace him? Lol. Thanks for the great content! 👍

Im curious how the Elgato key light panel, which has inherent diffusing and different type of leds, would fair instead of the FalconEyes 12t panel. The 12t seems to have a really mixed bag of reviews. Not sure if Caleb has every tried or tested the elgato panel for this specific use case since it’s so compact.

cool!!! really cool!! and what about that little PENTAX... Which model it is??

Hi, awesome video as usual. What kind of base is holding the laptop?

This setup is cool but if I'm in the room with you I will be scared as I'm claustrophobic and anxious when it's dark

I have one.

Great info---as in all your videos-- I am going to flat on my back for 4-7 days recovering from a medical procedure..and guess what I'm going to be watching while I'm laid up?? Quick question from this episode-- Do you know of any kits like this that will fit the circumference of a Manfrotto Auto pole?? I found one at a "yard sale" for $15 and want to make good use of it... Thanks for all you do here,,,

Could you do a quick overview on how you process the audio coming from the Rode Video Micro? What are you doing in terms of EQ? I can never get mine to sound that crisp

Hi, could you please recommend a camera for this setup?

How do you shoot with one light and get this result ?

Is there one that goes in the wall or stabilized with a rod going to the floor, maybe?
