Multimedia recording setup help needed

Pancani

Hi everyone,

I could use some advice on optimizing my multimedia setup for recording. I recently purchased the SONY ZV-1 camera and paired it with the SONY GP-VPT2BT Bluetooth wireless shooting grip and tripod. However, the tripod's height is a bit limiting.

Currently, I’ve configured the camera as a webcam using a capture card and a micro HDMI cable, and I’m working with a large monitor.

Question 1: Do I need an extension or additional equipment to position the SONY GP-VPT2BT grip behind my large monitor so the camera focuses directly on me? Placing the camera on the left or right side isn’t ideal.

Question 2: Can you recommend an effective lighting system that’s easy to position on a desk?

Thanks in advance for your help!
