DJI OSMO POCKET 3
The best filming camera for social media right now, plus some must have accessories.
Not gonna lie, the price hurts a little 😬 but I reach for this camera every time. It’s small, easy, and just works when I don’t want to think too hard about filming. I don’t regret buying this and it’s regularly on sale for under $600!

You cannot record without this! The osmo pocket 3 supports microsd cards up to 1tb, so this one at 512gb is a good compromise. You’ll still get plenty of recording time with it.

These are some lesser priced alternatives if you’re not ready to make a big investment yet, but still want to level up your quality!
Aside from the xtra muse logo and the silver camera (instead of back) this looks and operates exactly like the Dji osmo pocket 3! I recommend setting a price alert for it, because you can get these for as low as $419!

This is compatible with both the osmo pocket 3 and the extra muse! I consider this battery brio essential and this one is much cheaper than the official one from dji.

Editing
What I like to edit on and with.
I prefer editing on a desktop computer (vs my phone or a laptop) and the Mac mini is always my top choice. You can use it with any monitor and you can customize it to your needs.
