I watched this video, and I really appreciate that you caught this line and reflected on it. I have a question though about your media setup, would you mind messaging me, or just responding. Your lighting is great! I’m looking to get started on YouTube to describe my cancer journey.

Thanks friend. In regards to the lighting - it's not the professional way to do so. I have a good camera that is excellent in low light so I just went into my dark garage, put on a two Ikea lights and then had the one Ikea light on in my background.

Ah, I see. So, it’s probably a fairly expensive camera. I’m looking for a decent, yet economical, media setup to start doing some videos. Your videos look and sound great! 🙂

Yeah it's middle of the road for sure - there are way more expensive cameras. I have the Sony a6700 and I am using a sigma 16mm lens. My advice is shoot with your phone, any new phone has a great camera and if you make sure you have enough light on your face, the camera will look great.
