I've been looking for a way to get rid of all the light and mic stands and get back some floor space. I bought these light brackets and they work great! I'll be doing the same for a ceiling mounted microphone (my 4th one on order), and maybe even use one to mount my camera. More in the description. ▼

I've been waiting for nearly 3 years for the Nano slider after seeing the prototype at NAB, and it does NOT disappoint.
At this price, the Nano slider has nothing to compare when it comes to ease of use, build quality, transporability, repeatability, and SMOOTH QUIET SHOTS.
Some reviewers had problems with shaky footage - that's because they did not properly adjust the top and bottom carriage plates - too tight or too loose - or didn't update to the latest firmware.
I am NOT being paid to say this, and yes, I love this slider.

Teleprompting made easy with tips and tricks. Really, this does NOT have to be hard if you have a phone, a free app, and something to mount the phone next to the lens on your camera. You don't have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a teleprompting system - all you need to do is PRACTICE. And practice ALL THREE - doing videos with a teleprompter and script, doing videos with some short notes, and dong videos off-the-cuff. That way you'll always be prepared (and practiced) no matter what situation you find yourself in.
=============================

I use the TelePrompter phone app (try the FREE one first). I have no association with this company, they don't even know I made this video, and I get nothing out of recommending them. I just like the app. https://teleprompterpremium.com/

NOTES:
----------------------------------------------
Ian Craig, a YouTuber and subscriber, did a review of a lapel from a company I've never heard of, MicBooster, and did some tests of the Clippy EM172 lapel mic. It was impressive.
I am STiLL looking for the perfect lav mic (still haven't found it), but this lav mic beats the pants off my other lapel mics, including the $249 Rode lav.
You can only order this direct from their website, located in the United Kingdom, there will be a small shipping charge, and it took about 10 days to reach me from across the pond.
I would highly suggest this lapel if you need one and DON'T CARE about the size. It's larger than all of them, so using this to hide on talent is not an option, but, out of the three compared, I like how this one sounds the best, and don't care if it's seen for my videos.
