Vortex Sound Research

Good morning,

I am trying to help someone start recording music for YouTube. I need equipment suggestions to make this happen. We'd like to obviously record sound and video. There are a lot of videos with overhead shots of the synthesizers, do you know what people are using and how they're getting that point of view? Also, any recording equipment suggestions in general are welcomed as I am very uninformed about all this.

I know this is vague, sorry. And thanks in advance.
