Hey there! 👋🏻 These are my recommendations for YouTube gear suitable for a low to medium budget! 😊

I’ll put a star in front of the ones that I currently use.

Remember the 3 key principles of gear:

1. Quality audio is more important than quality visuals - usually you should upgrade your microphone first, then lighting, then camera.
2. If you’re just starting out - the best gear is the gear you’ve got!
3. It’s crucial to know how to use gear properly to make the most of it! There are plenty of YouTube videos about how to get the best of the gear - I’d recommend looking those up and having a watch 😊
