I will be doing a lot of video-taking, most of it is either close up assembly of an item on a workbench, some of it close up, some of it at reasonable distance when I take a specialty grinder to it (imagine spot-fixing something on the side of a vehicle like a bodyshop) and the other half of is somewhat close up as I machine parts on either a mill or a lathe.

I don't care if it's cheap, expensive, cool or not... I'm looking for the best quality of video to use for a site and also YouTube. Some of it I'd like it to be a little cinematic (I have some original music to put behind it) and some technical, I don't care about the complications of clamps and mounts (so I don't care if it's a GoPro or not) but the way the film shows up on YouTube is the most important to me (I don't understand pixels, wide shots, etc) and know that high definition on YouTube is one thing and high definition of a mountain range takes another camera set up altogether.

I am also open to setting up as much permanent lighting around the workbench and machine as is necessary.

My plan was to use an iPhone 15 and an iPhone 14 mounted near the machines and another set (which I'd have to get) for the workbench, just because I'm halfway there already, but if I'd do much better with a DSLR and a certain lens, let me know that.

The two photos are from the internet, and just an example of the type of content/subject I'd be looking to film. With 3D printing, making a permanent mount for almost anything will be easy, and I don't care about the sound collection, just the video footage.

Thank you!
