While filming talking UGC, I'd want a simple mic like this to make my voice sound clearer and easier to hear.

These are perfect for elevating small products in a flat lay. I like the clean, organised look they give to skincare and beauty shots.

A little plant can make a product setup feel more lived-in and natural. I'd use it as a background prop, not let it cover the product.

A power bank is useful when I'm filming a lot of clips and don't want my phone battery to die halfway through a content day.

When I start collecting lots of raw footage, an external SSD would be so useful for keeping everything organised and freeing up phone storage

A desk lamp is a simple alternative to a ring light for smaller product shots. I'd use it with soft natural light for a cozy setup.
