Unboxing my video gear!

Well, before I can start recording videos, I figured I needed to buy a basic inexpensive webcam, headset, tripod, and adjustable LED lamp to set up at my sewing desk!

I really went for the bare minimum here folks! If people actually decide to watch any of my videos, then eventually maybe we can upgrade. For now, this is good enough for something to do to help us all pass the time stuck in our homes during this long Covid Winter of our discontent...

Ignore the cut-off top of the LED lamp. It isn't very exciting. Just an oblong oval with a thin flexible arm.

I decided to get a very simple manual-focus webcam so I can just set that camera to be focused right at my sewing machine's foot for a clean project view.

Obviously, I can also move the tripod and change the focus around for projects that aren't at my sewing machine. I got a USB extention cable so it should be easy enough to move around and change position.

Once I get my sewing desk cleaned up, I'll take a photo of how it all looks together in that room. :)
