Everyone RAVES about this camera so I just had to have it! I haven't used it yet but will update when I do!
DJI Osmo Pocket 3
 
Kiara profile picture
Small, but powerful vlogging camera and perfect for taking pictures as well. I use it on my trips when I'm traveling and I can easily give it to my friend(s) to take my pictures because it's user friendly!
Canon EOS R50

My 2nd DSLR and my baby! Had this for years and it's the camera I really learned to hone in on my craft.
Canon EOS 6D Mark II DSLR Camera Body Wi-Fi

Also my baby! I love this camera because it is so lightweight and very discreet when it comes to taking it places. It's small but powerful and OVERLY gets the job done on pictures and vlogging.

Whenever I just want to film something quick, I just use my phone! Back camera is the best to use, but front camera with good lighting does the trick!
iPhone 16 Pro Max

I don't have the creator combo, but I've heard really good things about it! I only opted out of this because I already have a mic and didn't feel the need to have everything in the combo

My favorite camera bag I've owned and has never let me down! I love it because it has adjustable sections on the inside where you can personalize how you want things to go, but also it has a zipper part for your iPad or computer!

Haven't got to use it yet- will update when I do!

Using a wagon to carry my equipment has been a GAME CHANGER. I do not like taking multiple trips or having to carry heavy things so this is SO useful.

I haven't owned many light stands, but these are my favorites. I've went through a few flimsy stands from Amazon and these are worth the money! You don't want to keep buying bad equipment so investing in a good one will save you money in the long run...
Flashpoint Pro Air-Cushioned Heavy-Duty Stand 9.5'
 
Kiara profile picture
Very durable (and heavy) strong C-Stands! Don't cheap out on something that is going to hold your EXPENSIVE gear! I gravitate towards using these in studio

Lighting

Lighting also make or break your videos! Here's what I use to take my videos to the next level!

Small and powerful light! I also love that it comes with its own carry case so that I don't have to lose anything! It doesn't have a Bowen's mount, but there's an Bowen's mount attachment you can use for it.
Flashpoint XPLOR 300 Pro TTL R2 Portable Monolight

Not the exact light that I got from TikTok shop, but similar! It has a lot of different modes and is very powerful.

Editing

What I use to edit my videos! YouTube & YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels.

I haven't used this since it's most recent BIG update, but I've ALWAYS loved FCP. It's very beginner friendly and I love the interface.
Final Cut Pro
 
Kiara profile picture
CapCut really is just TOOOOO good. I love using it to edit on my phone. I haven't fully used the desktop version, but I've heard good things about it!

I've been using Canva for SO long and it's really THAT GIRL! I use it to edit YouTube thumbnails, reel and TikTok covers. You can do SOOOO much with it and the Pro version is WORTH IT!

Audio

Audio is probably the most important part of filming. So, having CLEAR/CLEAN audio is SUPER important.

Using this mic has SIGNIFICANTLY upped my audio. It's so clear and great at tuning out the background noise. A true MUST HAVE
DJI Mic Mini - Carry Less, Capture More - DJI United States
 
Kiara profile picture
The mic I was using before I switched to the DJI Mic Mini. It's a good mic and does the job before needing to upgrade.

Hard Drives

 
Kiara profile picture
Best hard drive I've used yet. I love that it is very compact and easy to take with me. I have a few of them and they've done me well so far!
SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD

Camera Lenses

 
Kiara profile picture
I don't personally own this lens, but I've used it for a full day of photoshoots and when I tell you it is a BEAST of a lens. It pains me that it is SO expensive, but I fear it is worth it. It is SO sharp and buttery.
Canon RF24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM Lens
 
Kiara profile picture
LOVE this lens! I very rarely take it off as it does everything I need.
Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Canon

The good ole NIFTY FIFTYYYYY! It was my first lens purchased when I started photography and it's a beast! You cannot go wrong with purchasing this lens.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens, Black
 
Kiara profile picture
I don't use this lens as much as I used to because I use my 24-70mm lens BUT it's a beast! I went from my 50mm to this and it was my favorite lens at the time until I upgraded!

Loveee this desk! I love that you can set the height for both sitting and standing! Just press a button and it goes back to the height you set it for when sitting or standing! Not only is it good for getting out of the bed/ sitting around all day, bu...
