The recording equipment that I use is basic and works well for developing educational videos, podcasts, web conferencing, streaming and so forth. My goal was a simple and universal setup that could also become portable as needed.

Microphone

Here is the microphone I use for recording or the upgraded version with cool RGB control


Mic Stand

This Desktop-attaching mic stand is what I use to clamp to my table, but you might consider this standalone option if you don’t have a good place to clamp to or a larger more professional stand for ultimate flexibility.


Headset

I’m now on my second HyperX Cloud II headset and have loved both. These are comfortable enough to wear for hours and the microphone quality is good enough for standalone use.


Editing Software

I edit my videos with Camtasia

If you’re looking for something that is beyond entry-level, I suggest that you check out the equipment a colleague of mine uses for producing videos, podcasts, and streams:
