Hi guys

I am looking to set up a simple studio in my home to shoot reviews. I am looking for your recommendations and advice on where & how to get started. The studio room has few windows and the view is mostly blocked by the lower level roof so i have little sunlight.

I am looking to do product reviews within the studio. From my research i have gathered you would need :-
For Medium/Cowboy shot
- lighting with softbox preferably 2
would i need to opt for the adjustable led bicolour ones? or would a adjustable singular colour one will do?
- tripod with fluidhead
as a tripod would be great but since shooting videos, it would be better to get one with a fluidhead so i can do smooth & stable video shots too.
- mic
would i need a shotgun mic attached to a boom pole for this or would the rode video micro suffice? im just having the camera across from me, separated by the coffee table which i will be doing the review on.
Overhead/Unboxing shot
so far i have found these two to be the most practical and adaptive rigs. Please do let me know what you think.

wouldn't normally work on a coffee table but i guess when the channel monetizes and i can afford a better desk to shoot at then okay.

the other is this

Please do let me know what you think and if you have any reccomendations of where i can get these items from.
I am looking to start up so i would like to keep costs low, setup simple and minimal. Easy to learn, use and store.
Thanks for the help
