My Content Creator Toolkit — What I Actually Film With
15
items I create fashion and beauty content full-time from the French Riviera — daily stories, Reels, and UGC videos for brands. This is the gear I actually use: nothing fancy for the sake of it, just the tools that survive daily filming, outdoor shoots in t...
Proof that you don't need to spend a fortune on a tripod — this one is $35, sturdy, and does the job for filming try-ons and talking-to-camera content. One tip: pair it with a simple phone mount adapter if you film with your smartphone like I do. Nea...
Sunpak PlatinumPlus 58" Tripod
This changed how I film alone. The ActiveTrack feature means my phone literally follows me as I move — walking shots, outfit spins, beach content, all without anyone behind the camera. Buttery-smooth footage that instantly makes Reels look profession...
DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Smartphone Gimbal
The unglamorous hero of my kit. This little metal stand sits on my desk for filming voiceovers, GRWM close-ups, and skincare demos — anything where I need the phone steady at eye level, hands-free. It costs $10 and gets used almost daily. Sometimes t...
Entronix Metal Adjustable Phone Stand
My insurance policy against bad lighting. I prefer natural Mediterranean light whenever I can get it, but for evening filming, GRWM videos, or grey days, this ring light saves the shot. The 10-inch size is the sweet spot: big enough to flatter, small...
On-Stage 10" LED Ring Light Kit
My favorite creative tool in the kit. This little light tube fits in my shoot bag, runs on its own battery, and does two jobs: soft fill light for product close-ups, and full RGB colors when I want a Reel or evening story to have a mood. Nanlite is a...
Nanlite PavoTube II 6C LED Tube Light
The best $35 I've spent on my content. The Mediterranean sun is gorgeous but brutal at midday — the diffuser panel softens it instantly, and the gold side gives that warm glow in golden hour shots. This version has hand grips and a clamp, so I can ac...
Neewer 22" 5-in-1 Collapsible Reflector
he upgrade that made the biggest difference to my video quality — and it wasn't the camera, it was the sound. This tiny wireless mic clips on and delivers clean, professional audio even outdoors with wind and waves in the background. It pairs seamles...
DJI Mic Mini Wireless Microphone
Handmade in the US by a small maker, and it shows — the hand-dyed texture gives photos a depth that vinyl backdrops never achieve. I use mine as a backdrop for product shots and as a styling surface for skincare flatlays, so it does two jobs. It roll...
Goldy Way Hand-Dyed Canvas Photo Backdrop
The secret behind polished skincare flatlays. These double-sided mats — linen on one side, suede on the other — give products something beautiful to sit on, and they roll flat with zero wrinkles, unlike fabric. A trick from wedding photographers that...
Olive & Oak Double-Sided Flatlay Styling Mat
Time to share a trade secret: that effortless wind-in-the-hair movement in fashion Reels? It's this. Not a regular pocket fan — this is JISULIFE's turbo model, powerful enough to actually move hair and fabric from a distance, which the cheap ones can...
JISULIFE Ultra2 Handheld Turbo Fan
Filming drains a phone battery terrifyingly fast — this lives in my bag permanently and has saved more shoots than I can count. The clever part: it's a 2-in-1, a wall charger and power bank in one. It charges itself plugged in at home, then comes wit...
Anker Prime Power Bank (9.6K, 65W, Fusion)
The one thing you should never buy cheap: your storage. Losing footage from a shoot because of a corrupted no-name card is a mistake you only make once. SanDisk Extreme PRO is the industry standard — fast enough for 4K video, reliable enough to trust...
SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC Memory Card
One plug, three devices charging at full speed — phone, laptop, and my lights or gimbal all at once. As a creator, everything I own needs charging constantly, and this ended the nightly game of musical chairs with outlets. Compact enough for travel, ...
Anker Prime Charger (100W, 3 Ports, GaN)
Everything on this list has to travel — beach shoots, city walks, spontaneous golden-hour sessions — and this is what carries it all. Padded compartments keep the gimbal, mic, lights and cards organized instead of tangled at the bottom of a tote. Low...
Lowepro Tahoe Camera Backpack
An add-on, not a standalone mic — this tiny wired lapel mic plugs into a DJI Mic 2 or Rode Wireless GO transmitter, so the visible part on your collar is nearly invisible and the transmitter hides in a pocket. A small pro touch for talking-to-camera ...
Neewer LM5 Wired Lavalier Mic (DJI/Rode Add-On)
