We Just Upgraded Our Audio-Video Arsenal! (Patreon)

Check this stuff out! Super happy with our equipment setup these days. The set wall is done, as many of you know, but we've next got to sand, stain, and finish the official set desk (seen in the above photo in its unfinished form).

Anyway, here's that audio system we've been talking about! A pair of Sennheiser G3 wireless lavs with a Zoom H6N recorder, making for insane audio quality. Very excited about the forthcoming videos. We just shot 3 tonight, prepping to shoot another soon.

The camera is the same Canon XA20 we've been using for a while, but our coupling with four lights (2x 500 LED wide lights, 2x 600 LED side/fill lights) means that its quality is finally being fully realized. I also just upgraded the internet connection (no fiber yet -- but soon) to 40/5 which, sadly, is among the fastest options we have right now. Google Fiber is expected for early next year. 

We've been shooting 1080p60 for a while now, but the faster uprate (5Mbps vs. the old 2Mbps) means we're able to upload 28Mbps videos pretty quickly.

Overall, a big quality boost -- a lot of it is thanks to your ongoing support. As always, sharing the content is the single biggest boon we get short of the Patreon-channeled donations. Let folks know about the stuff we do that you like.

Thanks again, all.
