Hey everyone, do you have a canon
M6, or maybe a different model of camera, Sony and you want to use it for vlogging?
But when you flip your screen up
Your microphone is in the way
You can't see the screen the screen maybe won't flip upside down because it can't move it up all the way well today
I'm going to show you how to turn this into this and solve all your problems. So check it out
Hey everyone, I'm Ken from Northern Viking Everyday
And if you are new to this channel, it is all about reviews and how to's so please consider subscribing
It would really help me out today
We're talking about the canon m6 as well as other Canon cameras and Sony cameras
Especially these smaller mirrorless ones that when you flip up the screen
you want to turn this into a vlogging setup and then you go and buy your
Microphone and you put it on the top and you realize you can't see the screen anymore or the screen on these ones?
If it's not up all the way
It won't reverse so you won't be able to see the screen. You'll be upside down in it if you can see it
We're gonna solve this problem for you and I'll show you how to do it. It's really easy to do everything
I've got here today. I picked up on Amazon
The first one is the boya by-mm1 is a mini shotgun mic
You can pick that one up on Amazon
I'll put links below to all of this in the description if you do want to purchase them for yourself
And this is the Ulanzi triple cold shoe mount and you can pick that one up as well
And then I'm using my trusty
Joby Gorillapod
1k kit this seems to work really well for these smaller mirrorless cameras
If your have a bigger camera, you might want to upgrade to the 3k, but that's the 1k mount fit up
And those are the products we're going to be using today to turn this into your vlogging setup
So let's go ahead and look at these pieces a little bit closer and how we put this setup together
So let's have a look at the you Ulanzi triple cold shoe mount
It's the pt-3
If you have a look at the bottom here, you're gonna see the tripod screw mount which is really convenient for the gorilla pod
Or if you want to put this on a tripod
also the culture there's a couple of them here so you could add something like an LED light or
Other accessories if you want to as well besides the microphone
we're gonna flip over our camera and screw that right into the tripod mount at the bottom and
While we're doing that you can see there's actually rubber pads that go against the camera
So you're not gonna be scratching up your camera
Make sure that's good and tight and the cool thing because it does slide back and forth
You can still open up the door for your battery pack and pull that out very easily
super convenient and these you Ulanzi brackets look nice and sleek and they're only running for about
$13 right now on Amazon
So the next step is to install our microphone and this is the boya BY-
Mm1 Universal cardioid microphone has a removable cable at the back
It also comes with the cable to attach to your smartphone and it comes with this dead cat
These are currently running about 35 to 40 dollars on Amazon
You can also mount it on the side of the bracket here
But we're gonna mount it on the top because we have enough room to do so
You're just gonna screw that in there and you can go ahead and then plug it right into the microphone. Jack on
your camera
So the one thing I do want to mention is that I do have this microphone mounted slightly forward in the cold shoe
So that I can easily plug it into the camera if you're using other microphones such as the rode mic
I'm not sure on the width of these products
So if you're worried about that one option would be to buy a longer bracket
Which remove the microphone further away from the camera body
This Ulanzi bracket is about ten and a half centimetres long or four and eight inches
I'll leave some links below in the description to other brackets from different companies that are a little bit longer but have the same concept
So the last piece to our vlogging setup, is this Joby Gorillapod
1k kit these have really cool
flexible legs that you can wrap around
fences and post some different things as well as this ball head so you can level out your camera really easily and these are currently
running for around 40 dollars on
Amazon check those out and we're gonna just screw that right into the bottom of the Ulanzi bracket into that
tripod screw on the bottom there
That's where you'd also if you want to connect your camera to a tripod you'd screw that in there as well and it's real
Easy to do and you're all set
So there you have it. Our vlogging setup is complete the screen can come up all the way. Let's put our dead cat on there
and turn this on and
we can vlog till our hearts content and
Yeah, it seems like a quite a good setup
I've been using it now for a couple of weeks and it seems to work. Well again, we use the
Joby
1k
gorilalpod the Ulanzi PT-3 triple cold shoe mount
As well as the Boya
Universal
shotgun mic so we got a links are in the description below to Amazon if you want to pick those up for yourself and
I hope this helped you out in creating a blog and setup on your canon m6 or other canon cameras or sony cameras and
