We have been getting a lot of questions about what equipment we use to film our instructional videos, so we did a live cast! Here is a re-play of the live cast, below the video you will find a list with links to every product we mention. We are not being endorsed by any of these manufacturers (although we probably should be!).
NOTE: We apologize for the poor audio quality- all of our primary, high quality equipment was on display in this video, so was not being used for the livecast. Instead we were stuck with the quality of our laptop's web cam and microphone, and accompanying laptop fans.
