    If you're using traditional velcro, give some thought as to which side goes on what. I always use the "soft" loop side on objects that may get stuffed into a bag so it won't snag the bag or snag other objects in the bag. I always use the "crunchy" hard hook side on the furniture or walls or frame elements.

    I use the wall tip, except I ceiling mount using a baby wall plate and good drywall screws. At one point I used a podium mic mount base with a mic stand boom arm to place my shotgun over my desk for the live stream studio. I use Velcro, but I also love the Nite Ize gear ties. I also built a crazy thing on wheels out of wood which I attach all kinds of useful stuff to. I'll probably feature it at some point in a video. I have painted the wall a complementary color to my skin before, but I just painted a wall for my new DT studio just a few days ago.

    Great stuff!
    Completely agree with everything, also something I try and do for my main channel is create multiple sets in my 3m X 4m space. It's tough but as someone with a disability it's a lot easier to move the camera to two or three areas of your space than try and create different scenes with the one angle.
    Plus a table on wheels is crazy useful, especially if you can create different 'tops' for it. I use mainly different coloured foamboard but also threw together a rustic vibe by screwing together some pieces of pallet wood. Everything can be easily stored and you can drastically change the feel of a shot really quickly.
