I am in the process of making some tutorials for one of my classes that consist of assembling some basic components on a desk. Holding a phone with one hand and building everything with my other three hands isn't working very well, so I need some kit to help out and I'm curious if anyone here has suggestions.
I need some sort of rig to hold the camera (probably just a phone for the time being) and some basic lighting. Something like a Glide Gear overhead rig looks like a good idea - the rig just needs to span a desk and can sit on the desk itself. I know people go to school to learn how to light things correctly and I'm clueless where to start on that side - it doesn't need to be premium lighting equipment, just something I can move around to try to minimize shadows and so forth.
Total budget is probably $500, but piecing together equipment over time is an option too. I am finding myself falling down every rabbit hole, so any tips are welcome.
