After doing some research on VAT as a US seller here is what I have learned:

1) if your sales don't exceed $35,000 you don't need to collect or pay VAT
2) except sometimes you do
3) this is all changing July 1, 2021
4) this is not tax advice, go talk to your local tax specialist

speaking for myself, if my options were to make all those choices myself or buy a box where those choices were made for me by someone who actually knew what they were doing, i'd opt for the latter

Yeah I hear you.

Interestingly, photo booths have a similar problem and have recently begun to productize similar kits:

you say that, but even within the camera/teleprompter/screen category there's so many different options. Do you want a DSLR? webcam? How about the screen, is it a generic monitor? iPad?

I could see putting together a kit with a USB webcam and small 7" monitor, but that's only going to be useful in certain cases too. Trying to make something packaged up with a DSLR is just not really going to be possible.

i get that lighting and so on is highly variable, but for camera/teleprompter/screen i would pay a lot of money to not have to not wire it together myself.

put it all in a box with an optional tripod and they’d sell.

I second the thoughts here and also vouch, definitely should chat with @aaronpk.

Speaking of which... I had the "meetup" recording pack pretty well organized (per many of Aaron's suggestions) and kept thinking, maybe this gets turned into a packaged option.

Yeah there's a lot to it, there isn't really a one size fits all which is likely why this isn't more packaged up. And even if there was, it'd be really expensive, likely way out of the price range of what people expect.

i thought the developer experience gap was bad until i had to wire together a DSLR, teleprompter, teleprompter display, mic and lighting.

how has someone not packaged all of this up in a single vendor solution yet?

Are there any android tablets that have gotten the main software updates every year for the past 7 years?

I ask only because the iPad Air 2 still gets iPadOS 14 and all the updates.

I got a youtube comment commending me on the content and precision of my videos, but he refuses to follow me because my icon has a mask on and I’m promoting something with such “low efficacy”. I just… I mean… there are SO MANY things wrong with that post. *sigh*

It's okay, youtube will follow you for him
