Electronics
Apple products all the way especially for social media filming because of the exceptional video quality and memory capacity.
I've been using iPhones exclusively and they've never failed me in the photo-taking, video-capturing capacity. The quality is at the professional level. If you're looking to film social media content, I'd recommend an iPhone with the max memory avail...
iPhone 16 Pro
Beautiful, sleek, and compact laptop for at home use or on the go. I only travel with this laptop because it's reliable and sturdy.
MacBook Pro
This small but mighty tablet does it all when I'm traveling or need to do some graphic designs. It also functions as my kids' tablet when we're on the airplane. I'd recommend the pencil and keyboard accessories so you can type or draw more easily.
iPad Air
Filming Equipment
You definitely don't need all these equipment just to start content creation. But if you want better sound and video quality, then I'd suggest you invest in a wireless mic and a ringlight of some sort.
Affordable wireless, magnetic, noise cancelling mic for the on-the-go voice/video recording.

This tripod rotates with you while you film and you can set it on the table or floor.
Auto Face Tracking Selfie Stick Tripod 70.9"
If you want a kit that includes everything, then this is your best deal. It comes with 2 mics, tripod, and ring lights.
Content Creator Starter Kit
If you want a portable ring light for on the go, this is great to use to illuminate your face or the product you're filming.
60 LED Portable Selfie Light with Clip
This popular wireless mic is superb in quality, and many influencers actually use this, but it is on the pricier side. Many say this is worth the investment for the quality you get.
DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case)
Apps
These apps have been a big learning curve, but definitely worth the time to learn the basics of. They will go a long way to improve the quality of your videos.
I use this video editor tool on the desktop for convenience, but I film first with an iPhone and then import it to my laptop.
CapCut: Video Editor
I use this app to film because it's free and it comes with a teleprompter. I can also edit my videos right in the app if I'm on the go. This app is native to Instagram but you can download the edited videos to be uploaded to other platforms like TikT...
Edits: Video Editor
I use canva to do graphic design or find templates for my thumbnails. The free version is enough most of the time for what I need.
