Studio tour 2026: my full desk setup revealed
Every monitor, light, mic and cable in the Vlogsmith Studio — what I kept, what I replaced, and what was a waste of money.
About this video
After three years of incremental upgrades, the studio finally feels finished — so I filmed the whole thing. This tour covers the dual-monitor editing station, the filming corner with key and fill lights, and the sound treatment that killed the echo in my old room.
I also get honest about the purchases I regret. That motorised standing frame? Worth every cent. The third monitor I swore I needed? It lasted two months before going back in the box.

Creator tip: buy the monitor arm before the second monitor. A screen floating at eye level changes your posture more than any chair upgrade.
