We’re back after a refreshing little break for the holidays! What would you like to see from us in 2022?

[MatthewEncina]

Good tips. Especially that heavy duty clamp. I've been using lighter weight versions of that, but that setup looks like it can handle almost anything.

[tombuck]

A hand vac with dogs is a 100% requirement. Great list of gear that’s often overlooked!

THOSE SIDO CRATES!!!! I'm out here ready to drop $300 on boxes now lol.

[HiethGeorge]

Just what I need will use some of these tips to try and make the small space in my garage better 😉

Great video . The storage bins are a must . I have smaller ones that stack on top of each other for all the real small fiddly bits .
After every shoot, you gotta tidy up and put everything back where it belongs too . Staying organised goes a long way .
Killer post Beck ! ✌🏼✌🏼

Great video! We’re going to be moving out of our small rental office/studio in the Spring when we move into our new condo (work from home). We have many of the things you recommended, but I love the look and idea of the charging wall (that’s something we need to work on for sure) and those fancy bins with dividers looked really cool as well! A rolling desk is a great idea as the room we plan on using as our video room, will also be used for our other hobbies and working out, so having the flexibility to move the table around would be perfect. Thanks for the video, and loved your look here, Becki!

I just refreshed my studio, Now I’m working on making a storage / tools closet for all my gear. I LOVE those crates!

I made my own charge wall after seeing your video and it's by far my most useful studio addition. Drone batteries, controllers, camera batteries, camera accessories, you name it; it can be mounted.
Thanks for these super consistent tips!

[IBrew-UBrew]

Super helpful video! My favorite tip was having a desk on casters, which makes for such easy movement and transition. Also could be done with a single person and no scuffing of the floor required. Win-win!

[excessorizeme]

Those bins are clutch with dividers, thanks for the helpful tips!!!

All great pieces of advice for the home studio or any studio. Another few options on the lighting front would be a Godox SL60 or SL200 or GVM 80W COB. Being cheaper, the build and fan noise aren't as good as a 120D or Amaran, but I've used both a lot, and they provide great light for a very approachable price if people are just getting started. Both have Bowens mounts and umbrella holders, so you can slap a source of diffusion on them as well.

Great as always. I love the work you put out Becki, and I always get excited when I see a new episode of the podcast pop on my podcast app. Thanks for doing your thing!

[crusader]

Definitely will be taking notes for the future. Thanks for the insightful vid! Keep it up 💪

[enduringdaddy]

Thanks for another awesome video guys. Currently cutting the final edit to my home office/studio renovation video which includes inspiration from many of yours including a backlit version of the charging wall and the Mahogany No. 3 candle. Thanks for all the help and guidance as its really helping both with the video ideas as well as the process involved in post!

[RobertGossCreator]

Thanks so much Becki it looks amazing love your videos

[JoJotheTechie]

Love the manfrotto arm idea for a top down setup. I've been experimenting with different ways of mounting my ZV-1 and it's light enough that this would definitely work.

[KimberlyLloyd]

Happy New Year’s to both of you. Thank you for all the great work you share.

[keysncoffee]

Literally looking to hit record again this week after setting up a couple more things. Thanks for the video guys!

[SamTavrs]
