       | people. I'm currently running a Sony ILME-FX3 with the standard
       | FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 lens, hooked up to an Elgato Cam Link 4K._

       | There's nothing worse than a remote coworker who spends less than
       | PS4,000 on a full frame webcam setup.

         | Obviously in this case my setup is... overkill! But I think you
         | can do a lot better than the average laptop camera with a
         | Logitech C920 or Brio, and a Yeti Snowball or similar - I
         | started there and worked my way up to where I am now, and was
         | lucky enough to have been donated a rather nice DSLR along the
         | way.

         | unfairly reduce your influence as a remote employee than crappy
         | audio and to a slightly lesser extent, crappy video. Do it for
         | yourself.

           | 100% agree. I can't stand to interact with some people who
           | have desk mics with a noisy pet. Just fork over 50-100 USD
           | for a decent headset.

       | I was with you until I saw your downright brutish treatment of
       | the Audioengine A2+ speakers.. Poor things, you even bought them
       | stands! For what ? To aim that lovely HF at the back of your
       | monitor ? You brute!

         | Ha! You're totally right, I feel bad about this most days!

         | I haven't worked out a decent answer yet - part of the
         | complication is the desk is sit/stand so if they don't move
         | with it, it gets weird when I stand up.

           | them out to either side. If you search on amazon you can find
           | a bunch. I use the one that is only articulated in one
           | direction (not the fancy ones). Works great.

           | Apart from audio world high monitor stands, not much you can
           | do.. I've been adding to basket/removing from basket that
           | particular monitor for months, but speaker placement is
           | always abort, abort, abort! I'm an Audio programmer, and
           | headphones get tiring, I like the air interface.. That said,
           | I have just ordered a VideoMic Go II based upon your article
           | ;)
