Hey #Facilifam, if you’re looking to level up your setup - to look sharper, sound clearer, and run smoother sessions - this week might be your moment.

I’m not here to shout "PRIME DEALS! BUY NOW!" in all caps.

Just a friendly heads-up: many of my favorite tools are on sale, and they genuinely help you show up more confidently and professionally in every virtual session.

🎙️ Sound First - Audio Matters Most

Still using your notebook mic and wondering why people keep asking, "Sorry, can you repeat that?"

Your voice deserves clarity and depth - no robot vibes allowed. Here are some deals to save your audience from auditory discomfort

Shure MV7+ - Premium Powerhouse ✅ Broadcast-quality sound with USB/XLR flexibility ✅ Ideal for podcasting or advanced audio setups 👉 Speak Like a Pro

Elgato Wave: Neo - Budget-Friendly Upgrade ✅ USB-C mic with 24-bit audio and cardioid pickup ✅ Plug-and-play for clear, focused voice 👉 Upgrade Your Voice

Sony WH-1000XM5 - The Facilitainer Ones ✅ Industry-leading noise cancelling and all-day comfort ✅ Immersive sound for deep work, focus, and travel 👉 Silence The World

No bells and whistles necessary - just one that’s better than whatever you're using now. They'll hear the difference the moment you speak. 🤤

🎥 Look Sharp Without Trying

Using your built-in camera needs to stop. NOW! 🤬

Enough with the blurry, grainy, or off-center you! Your audience deserves crisp, clear video (and so do you!)

Elgato Prompter - The Lifechanger ✅ Bright LED panel with adjustable color temperature ✅ Control via app or Stream Deck in real time 👉 Master Your Eye Contact

OBSBOT Meet 2 - Smart, Compact Upgrade ✅ 4K webcam with AI auto-framing and gesture control ✅ Keeps you clearly in frame even if you move 👉 Stay in Frame

Elgato Facecam MK.2 - Clarity Meets Control ✅ Full HD 60fps, settings via Camera Hub software ✅ USB-C, plug-and-play, crisp and consistent image 👉 In Your Face

Treat yourself to some sharpness and flexibility. You'll feel the difference - and so will your audience. 😀

💡 Let There Be (Great) Light

Darkness is your friend - but only if you're Batman. 🦇

Bad lighting makes even the best camera and content feel flat. Balanced, soft light helps you look energized and clear.

Elgato Key Light (Original) - My Top Pick ✅ Bright, LED panel with adjustable color temperature ✅ Controlled via app or Stream Deck for adjustments 👉 Brighten Up

NEEWER NL‑288 - Budget-Friendly Option ✅ Soft bi-color panel, powerful and remote controled ✅ Stand not included - use with tripod or light arm 👉 Light on the Wallet

Elgato Key Light Neo - Compact & Reliable ✅ Clean, app-controlled lighting in a smaller footprint ✅ Great for desks, travel setups, or hybrid spaces 👉 Shine Bright

Even the Dark Knight knows: 3-point-lighting starts with one good light. One step at a time. 🛋️

🎛️ Control Upgrade - Just One Button Away

If your virtual facilitation feels more like digital gymnastics, it's time for an easier path. 🤸‍♂️

Stream Decks make everything simpler, smoother, and one-button-easy.

Stream Deck Plus - Premium Control ✅ Buttons and dials for audio, scenes, apps, and more ✅ Ideal for hybrid setups and hands-on workflows 👉 Take the Wheel

Stream Deck Pedal - Hands-Free Workflow ✅ Trigger actions with your foot - like controlling slides ✅ Frees your hands while presenting or facilitating 👉 Foot-Controlled Freedom

Stream Deck Mk2 - Best All-Around ✅ Customizable keys for Zoom, OBS, Miro, and beyond ✅ Sleek design with swappable faceplate 👉 Push the Button

One tap is all it takes - save your energy for audience engagement. IYKYK. 👇🏽

🤤 Tips and Temptations

I've updated my full gear list with all the tools above - plus a few extras worth exploring.

It’s a curated hub of what I use, trust, and recommend - whether you’re just getting started or upgrading piece by piece.

​

💡 Some tips before you click around:

👉🏽 If you're not picky, check different colors of the same product - prices often vary.

👉🏽 All links should lead to your local Amazon store automatically, but deals and availability may differ by country.

​

😅 Oh ... and one last thing ...

Feeling the urge to buy everything? You might be experiencing G.A.S. - Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

It’s the very real urge to buy gear you don’t need ... but definitely want.

​

That being Said ...

Happy facilitaining!
