My microphone and camera setup

Hello everyone!



I hoped you liked my latest ASMR video: Nurse ASMR Role-play.
In this blog post I want to show you how I setup my microphone and camera.
I have said it numerous times that I am not very pro in these things.
It takes me about 15 minutes to setup all my equipment.


So here is the setup:


The only way I can make the heavy mic stay up!

So in case you are wondering what you are seeing let me explain:

The tripod is at my height level and on the top I have an iPad clamp (from Ebay)
I used to record with my iPad but now I have switched to an iPhone 6s which works fine with this clamp too. 
The microphone is the well known 3DIO FreeSpace Pro. You can cannot really see it in the photos but I have another clamp (in the shape of a peg that holds the mic with the tripod).
Because the mic is heavy and tilts forward, I use a hair elastic to hold it upright :) hehe

In my latest video I used my new lights. I bought a softbox :)
What do you think?




My first selfie to see how I look in front of the softbox (wearing my pjs).


I was so SO SO so happy when I received the softbox, as I always had issues with my lights. Thanks to all the people that support me on Patreon and all of you of course <3 


And because you are here, reading this blog, I am going to give you a hint for my upcoming video.
It is mostly targeted to the ladies


Love,

Marianne

My Summer Holidays

Hello everyone!

I hope you had a lovely time these holidays! 


A few days before New Year's Eve I went to the Gold Coast, AU.
Gold Coast is one of the most popular tourist destinations here in Australia. It is quite hot, it has lots of beautiful beaches and of course... big theme parks.

Here are some pics:
Thanks to a photo filter I got a tan :)
The view from the hotel: the ocean 
Me posing but looking a bit stiff :P
Seaworld
Surfers Paradise
My only chance to wear a hat 

I also went to MovieWorld (movie-themed park) and to Wet n' Wild (water park). My favourite place by far was the water park! I am still a child when it comes to these activities. 


This cake is called Vasilopita. I made it :) Vasilopita is a traditional Greek cake served at midnight on New Year's Eve to celebrate the life of Saint Basil. After baking the vasilopita, a coin is inserted through the base and when cut the person who finds the coin is said to be granted luck for the rest of the year! (Thank you Wiki)
I didn't win but that's ok! 


Thank you so much for reading this post. I hope you enjoyed it. Currently I have some relatives from Greece staying at my house, which makes it hard to record a video. Hopefully I can make one by the end of the month. I say it all the time but thank you so much for your patience.

Love, 
M.
