We recently constructed a studio at our Southwest Michigan 10-acre homestead to make it easier to do all our videos and podcasts.

And we also have a mobile setup we use when traveling in the RV.

In answer to the many emails we've received, here is a tour of our studio and the gear we use. If enough express interest, we can do a follow-up report on what we use on the road.

If you want to look at the gear, check out the companion video below from our RV Lifestyle YouTube Channel.

Starting our Video Podcast Studio Tour – My Computers

We begin with the computer system. For my main video editing and studio work, I use the Mac Studio with Apple's powerful M2 Chip. It has 64 Gigabytes of RAM and a terabyte of SSD Memory. 

My Mac Studio has been a powerhouse for me, very compact, and able to handle even the most demanding edit projects. My only regret is I wish I had bought more storage capacity… 2 Terabytes or even 4.

I shoot so much video that I fill up the 1 terabyte SSD drive on the Mac Studio. That's no big deal, but for convenience's sake, I wish I had 4 terabytes of internal memory on the Mac Studio.

The reason it's no big deal is because of this…the 4 GB SanDisk portable SSD drive. I just move those files from the Mac to the portable every month or so. And when this is filled, I'll just get another.
