**My YouTube Starter Kit Setup**

I'm excited to share with you my new YouTube starter kit setup that I've been working on. As an avid YouTube creator, I needed a reliable and convenient way to film high-quality videos. After researching and testing various products, I'm pleased to show you the equipment I've chosen.

**The Tripod**

My first stop is the tripod, which is essential for stabilizing my camera. I've chosen the AmazonBasics 60-inch Lightweight Tripod with Back. This tripod is very lightweight, making it easy to carry around, and has a sturdy design that can support a lot of weight. I'll be using this tripod to mount my phone or camera, depending on the type of video I'm filming.

**The Comstock Mini Ball Head with Lock and Hotshoe**

Next, I have the Comstock mini ball head with lock and hotshoe. This small but mighty accessory allows me to attach a variety of devices to my tripod, including my phone and camera. The ball head has a lock mechanism that ensures everything is secure and stable, even when moving between different angles or shots. With this little guy on my tripod, I can connect my phone or other device directly to the tripod, making it easy to film high-quality videos.

**Phone Mounts**

I've also purchased two phone mounts: the AmazonBasics Phone Mount Product Model C4 Mobile and a Vaster as well. These mounts allow me to attach my phone to the tripod or other devices, giving me more flexibility when filming videos. The phone mount with the model number C4 is particularly interesting, as it has a built-in mount on the bottom that screws into the tripod, and another mount for my phone that can be unscrewed and clamped onto.

**Softbox Lighting**

Lighting is crucial for creating visually appealing and professional-looking videos. I've chosen the newer 160 LED Softbox, which comes in a compact and portable package. This softbox light is designed to produce a soft, even illumination that reduces harsh shadows and highlights. The LED light is energy-efficient and easy to use, making it perfect for long filming sessions.

**Testing the Setup**

Now that I have all my equipment assembled, let's test out how well everything works together. First, I plugged in the Comstock mini ball head with lock and hotshoe into the tripod, attached my phone to the Vaster as well mount, and plugged in the mic. To my delight, the video might go recognized the microphone correctly, which is a must for high-quality audio.

**Using the Softbox Light**

Next, I decided to test out the softbox light. With the LED light turned on, I was able to achieve some amazing results. The soft, even illumination reduced harsh shadows and highlights, making my skin look smoother and more natural. The softbox light also created a beautiful rim light effect, which adds depth and dimensionality to my videos.

**Final Thoughts**

Overall, I'm thrilled with how this YouTube starter kit setup turned out. Each component has its own unique features and benefits, and together they provide me with the flexibility and quality I need to create engaging and high-quality content for my audience.
