So for a very long time I have been toying of taking SBS onto Youtube. NO! I would not discontinue
the Blog. In fact you would be able to simply open a new Post right here only to find both my write up and my Video and the others on the same post.
What tipped me into doing some homework on what to get to start up was that like many who got locked down with the C19 thing I got a total kiss off from my employer. At 73 there isn't a new well paid day job waiting for me! I have to get whatever to bring in a buck or two from wherever.
GEAR TO GO ONLINE
Well for a start you need a PC of some sort with Windows 10 or a Mac.(for most)
Editing software.
A webcam or DSLR camera.
A decent mic.
Some lighting.
A small mixer.
Misc. stands, cables etc.
The good news if you never have got into this is that compared to a few great pedals
it is damn cheap!!! Of course if you need certain mics you are stepping back into Guitarville
with it's big OUCH factor.
So you can get camera made by Logitech which is the Squier Strat of cameras or you can get Canon the American Strat of cameras. best of all unlike a guitar you do not have to get trapped into needing to impress your friends that you have a Cannon because they don't give a f*ck what camera you use!
KEEP IT SIMPLE
So I found what great video which covers not only the camera but all the bells and whistles that you need. Best of all the guy uses the stuff and it's dam cheap.
A second video shows you a few of the most popular camera options. Best of all you get to see them on a 4 way split screen.
CUT TO THE CHASE
On the first video start at 7:34 to nail down the must haves.
On the second the whole video is worth a peak.

CONCLUSION
If you are thinking about getting into Youtubing this is it.
Or alternatively you can scour thru the camera buffs video's.
If you choose any further research I recommend a large bottle of Acetaminophen with Codeine . LOL
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE
Well the general thought is that the best
value for a webcam is the Logitech C920
Walmart advertises them for $30.00 USD
so OK ...lets go!!!
BUT WAIT!!!!
Because of the C19 lockdown thousands of
workers are working at home and touching
base with this camera with their boss.
In fact most were told via the workplace to get
this exact model. Makes sense? Yes indeed.
BUT everyone is sold out and...
Amazon is posting prices of $300.00 USD
A DAY LATER
I have friends in China I can hit on some are even wholesalers.
They told me a few weeks ago it was $17 and is know $300. WTF!
