The laptop also has a beautiful 16-inch Retina display with True Tone technology that provides crisp visuals; a Magic Keyboard equipped with the latest technologies, Touch ID security features, and an improved battery life of up to 17 hours. On top of this, its sophisticated Space Gray finish will make any agent look professional in any workspace. With this laptop, real estate agents can take their productivity anywhere!
An excellent, cheaper option camera. In fact, I've shot many of my YouTube videos on this as I've had my A7C in for repairs or waiting on a lens, etc... Honestly, most won't be able to tell the difference and it's less than half the price including my recommended lens, the Sigma 16mm 1.4. It comes in black also but it's OOS often right now.
This lens is super sharp, produces excellent bokeh (blurry background), and is extra-wide, which is great for talking head studio setups and even shooting the interior of a listing! This is the lens to buy for any crop-sensor Sony camera, including my recommendation, the ZV-E10.
Good audio separates the videos that get watched from those that get passed up. It amazes me that people will create video content but not invest in a quality microphone. This USB mic has excellent quality audio and best of all, plugs into your USB port on your computer. This is a great addition to a 1080p or 4k webcam. You can either have it sit on your desk or mount it on a mic arm (linked below). For nearly half of 2019, I rocked a webcam (linked below) and this mic for all my YouTube videos. This is the best audio quality you'll get for your video but is limited to mostly being used in a studio with a computer nearby.
The Rangers 56” Compact Travel Tripod is perfect for DSLR cameras. It is made of lightweight aluminum and has a specially designed ball-head that can rotate 360°, making it easy to get the perfect shot. The tripod fork is precision CNC machined for quality construction.
This ultra-rugged and sleek USB-C portable drive is ready to take on any challenge. From the office to the outdoors, it’s built to withstand a 6.6 ft drop onto concrete, crush resistance of 1 ton, and water resistance of IP56 (1 m for 30 min). Transfer data quickly with USB 3.0 speeds up to 130MB/s and use the reversible USB-C cable for connecting your latest computers. LaCie also includes a standard USB 3.0 adapter for legacy computers so you can easily access all your files from one device.
Perfect for shooting 4K UHD video(1) and sequential burst mode photography (1)Full HD (1920x1080) and 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) video support may vary based on host device, file attributes, and other factors.
A Zoom audio recorder can be an important tool for a real estate agent looking to create high-quality podcast recordings. It allows them to establish themselves as experts in the field, build trust with potential clients and generate leads.
It also allows remote recording which is useful for guests or co-hosts who are not able to meet in person. With a Zoom audio recorder, the agent can ensure that their podcast recordings are polished and professional, helping to stand out in a crowded market.
OneOdio Studio headphones deliver powerful bass and comfort, perfect for DJing, mixing, monitoring, or listening to music. The soft padded ear cushions are designed to monitor headphones' comfort and noise isolation. At the same time, the headband is adjustable and stretchable to find the desired angle you like to fit in.
With the DJ-style coiled cord (9.8Ft Stretched) quickly reaching from the TV or stereo to your chair, both the headphone cable and plug are completely detachable.
This EMART Photography Backdrop Continuous Umbrella Studio Lighting Kit is perfect for portraits and product shots! The kit includes a backdrop stand, a muslin green screen backdrop, two light stands, two lamp holders, two umbrellas, and two 45W studio light bulbs.
The seamless and crimped-edge muslin backdrop is 6 x 9 ft and can be used with the included clamps to prevent slippage. The photography light stand is adjustable from 26.8” to 79.9”, making it easy to find the perfect height for your shot.
The GVM RGB LED Video Lighting Kit is a set of three lighting kits that have been designed to be used in conjunction with your DSLR camera. The kit includes a key light, fill light, and backlight. These lights are multi-purpose and can be used for many different situations. Whether you’re shooting an interview, taking photos of your family, or even filming the latest viral video, these lights will bring it all together! I use two of these lights to add color to my background in my videos and one as a fill light in front of me.
2021 Upgraded Teleprompter from Desview Official - Comparing with Desview T2, the new teleprompters is designed with 2 cold shoe mounts to attach video accessories, supports larger prompting devices(up to 11”) & wider-angle lens(up to 24mm), and comes with more customized shading rings for phone & dslr to prevent light from sneaking around the lens and flaring the beamsplitter glass.
A real estate agent might need a portable laptop charger to keep up with their busy schedule. They often have to be on the go, meeting clients and touring properties, so having a mobile charger will ensure that they're able to stay connected and get work done while out of the office. It also allows them to access property information and other resources without having to rely on public Wi-Fi or unsecured connection points. Having a reliable source of power can help agents save time and be more productive when working remotely or in the field.
Newer Mac laptops don’t offer a variety of ports.
One solution to this USB C Docking Station. It not only provides an answer to the port problem but can charge your laptop at the same time using a single cord.
