What camera and microphone do you use?
It's an A7C actually; I got a new camera yesterday, so hopefully it's nice and high quality—you can see every ugly pore on my face. For the mic I use a Samsung Q2U; everything's all USB. I really just optimize for simplicity and convenience.

What camera and microphone do you use?
My camera is a Sony A7C and my microphone is a Samsung QTU. The perceived quality comes largely from AI post‑processing using the Phononic library for mixing and mastering. I also test each module iteratively—adding one, verifying inputs/outputs, then adding the next—to quickly isolate errors when debugging.

What hardware and software are you using to record your videos?
I record with a Sony A7 III (and sometimes the A7 C) paired with a light bar. I use an XP‑Pen tablet for drawing, a Samson Q2U microphone, and the Auphonic service to clean up the audio. For on‑screen annotations I use Presentify on macOS. The camera is high‑end but not required; you can get decent results with cheaper gear.

What microphone do you use?
I use the Samsung Q2U, which costs about $75 CAD on Amazon.ca (roughly $45‑$50 USD). It's the cheapest decent mic around, and with good settings it works very well. I also run my audio through a post‑processing library called Oonic, which I've been using for about a year after a podcaster recommended it.
