Here's an overview of my setup:

Canon EOS Rebel T5i

This is the camera that I use for the overhead shots that look down on my desk.

Canon G7X Mark II

This is the camera that I use for the talking head portions of my videos, with the camera pointed directly at me.

Aputure AL-M9 LED Mini Light

These small lights are great for a light-weight setup. I picked up four of them.

Dinkum Systems ActionPod

This clamp + bendy arm is great for attaching the LED Mini Light to a table or shelf.

You can also attach the G7X Mark II to the ActionPod to position your talking head camera.

Neewer 660 LED Video Light

I recently picked up two of these powerful video lights for more flexibility with the strength and color of the light I use.

Manfrotto 244 Variable Friction Magic Arm

This heavy-duty friction arm (combined with this clamp) will allow you to get that video light (or your top-down camera) set up in just the right position.

These two accessories come in handy for attaching your light/camera to various surfaces and then pointing it in the right direction.

Manfrotto 386B Nano Clamp

Manfrotto 492 Ball Head

I've been using the Blue Yeti USB Microphone for years, and I still love it!

I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit my videos, which I have to access to through Adobe Creative Cloud - you can access the entire suite of Adobe products for a reasonable monthly price.
