To bring or not to bring all action cameras, regular cameras, and cell phones? How about just one? Well, that's entirely up to you and the dynamics of your production set-up.

Have you ever recorded outside or used your device on a nice day, but the temperature took a toll on your device and overheated? I record outdoors often and that's the first thing I learned -beat the heat!
This came in handy when I sat outside at the lake or whenever I choose to visit a coffee shop.

Quality mics that serve their purpose without spending too much before you start monetizing your content. Oh yeah, use your phone. A quality phone with good storage works just as well as other content creation devices!
This has been the best upgrade I've made thus far. It's miniature with great sound quality and a lasting battery. I like the bundle for the versatility of jacks due to me recording from my phone, laptop, and tablet.
Hollyland Lark M2 Wireless Lavalier Mic
Use your phone to capture content. A quality phone + good sunlight creates the best view for
iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
I use to be a Samsung Galaxy user until I switched to another device. If I had to recommend anything about Samsung phones, they have the best cameras.

Just when you think everything is fine, your surprised by your device draining quickly.
This is my personal fave. A fairly fast charger that recharges rather quickly when the actual device is out of juice.

International Travel
It's better to be safe than sorry. Keep in mind that your homebase devices might not be universal or equivalent to power surges at your travel destination.
Always have a power adapter handy. You never know if hotels or airports will have charging stations that support your homebase charging port.
