What is my lite/travel Recording Setup?
Although I record in three separate locations regularly for my tutorials and guides, I always need to travel light. Here is my recording kit for a light setup that weighs in at less than 2-3KG (more if you factor tablets or laptops) and is designed with value in mind.
