this is my go-to for my sit-down videos on youtube! very lightweight, great quality, & great for vlogging + short form too. AND THE PHOTOS!
Shop Canon EOS R50
this is the wide lens i use on the R50. perfect for vlogging, small setups, and cooler shots :)
Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 STM Lens
i have been vlogging exclusively with this for over a year. duh!
Osmo Pocket 3 - For Moving Moments
perfect for hands-free pov vlogging. super tiny & magnetic. not the absolute BEST quality, but for the size you can get good stuff. i'd look at youtube footage of this one.
Buy Insta360 GO 3S - 4K Small Camera
this is usually on my osmo pocket 3, so when i film outside, i can just mount the camera somewhere magnetic and not have to use a tripod or anything like that.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Magnetic Mount
lighting
the fill light you need. i am good for filming at 3am.
Up to 50% Off | Softbox Light
colorful bulbs i use in the lamps in my filming space. they can do both color and standard yellow/white lighting, are dimmable, and have preset scenes. i use these mostly for a color backlight.
LIFX
these are light, portable, and have a rechargeable battery source. if I’m filming outside of my usual space, or need something quick, this is my go-to.
LED Panel Lights | Video & Camera Lights
perfect for streaming, video conferencing, and when I’m filming a screen recording so the light is consistent on my face even when the screen is dark.
yAyusi Dual-lamp LED Video Conference Light
while there are a million lights like this, some bigger and brighter, this one does the job perfectly. literally old reliable. it isn’t loud & obnoxious when out in public, and fits in my purses without being in the way too much.
XINBAOHONG Rechargeable Clip Selfie Light
best inexpensive light! rechargeable, can be detached from the tripod, has multiple settings, etc.
Husky 800 Lumen LED Rechargeable Detachable Tripod Work Light K40526 - Home Depot
tripods, etc.
if you need a script, you need this.
Teleprompter for Camera
my absolute favorite tripod for both my phone and cameras.
EUCOS 62" Phone Tripod with Remote & Selfie Stick
sturdy & compact tripod. my go-to at home, but can also go outside for more demanding filming (when the tiny tripods won’t do.)
Manfrotto Compact Action Aluminum Tripod Kit
this is necessary to me. quickly release your camera from a tripod or other mount without unscrewing.
Quick Release Plate Arca Swiss QR Clamp
quick pocket tripod for your phone.
MOFT Phone Tripod Stand Selfie Stick iPhone
this is the foundation of my filming setup. everything is mounted to my desk so I don’t have to do anything to start filming. just press record.
VIVO All-in-One Studio Desk Mount, Dual Monitor, Mic Boom, Laptop Stand
audio
great audio. this is the mic i use in all sit-down YouTube videos. it is mounted to my desk for easy access/no setup.
MV7+ - Podcast Microphone
love this mic! cheaper alternative to dji or other wireless lav mics. the transmitters also have internal recording storage so you can capture audio directly without connecting to a camera.
NEEWER CM28 Wireless Lavalier Lapel Mic & Charging Case
i use this for work. this & the neewer cm28 have similar quality in my opinion. like the cm28, the transmitters also have internal recording storage so you can capture audio directly without connecting to a camera.
DJI Mic - Elevated Audio On the Go
storage
for quick transfers to your phone. has both lightning & usbc for whichever phone you have.
Sd To Lightning
ssd storage that i currently use as a working drive to store & edit.
Portable SSD T7 1 TB USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Gray)
i use this in my osmo pocket 3. 1tb is great storage & this one is reliable.
SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC 1TB + Adapter
apps + assets
this is my go-to editing software, for ALL videos. i edit on the computer 90% of the time.
Adobe Premiere Pro
I'm sure I don't have to explain this one but if you are a super beginner, I'd start here. I use this mostly on the phone but they do have a desktop app.
CapCut AI Video Editor
best free editing software in my opinion!
DaVinci Resolve
this is where i get assets for my videos like stock footage, royalty-free music, LUTs, video templates, fonts, etc.
Envato
if you think i'm using a LUT, it's likely this one!
The Everyday LUT
all of my copyright-friendly music on youtube & sponsored posts comes from here. my favorite place to find music.
