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:
- Quality audio is more important than quality visuals - usually you should upgrade your microphone first, then lighting, then camera.
- If you’re just starting out - the best gear is the gear you’ve got!
- 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 😊
Camera
The best camera is the camera that you’ve got!
- Start with your phone camera (back facing)!
