Take a look at all the equipment I personally use. Yes, they’re a little pricy, but the quality of your content makes it worth it. Don’t feel like you need these to start (check out my other list, “So you're ready to be a Content Creator?” for more a...

Video Creation

Take your video content to the next level using my equipment!

My DJI Mic 2 kit is always with me. Its greatest advantage is its adaptability to any device—whether it's Android, iPhone, or my favourite camera. 

Another feature I appreciate is the flexibility—you don’t have to carry both mics and the case if you prefer to travel light. Often, I bring just one mic, and if its battery runs low, I simply recharge it with a USB-C cable.

I don’t own the creator combo (I purchased the camera separately since I already had the DJI Mic 2 kit), but if you’re looking for an all-in-one solution, I highly recommend it.

If you’re not interested in the creator combo, you can purchase the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 separately. I switched from using my phone to this camera for its external memory and to free up space in my phone’s gallery. 

Despite its compact size, the camera delivers impressive performance—recording up to 4K in landscape mode and 3K in portrait mode.

I’m new to using this drone, but it’s been surprisingly easy to learn. Of course, practice makes perfect—and I still have plenty of practicing to do!

An external hard drive is a MUST!!! I am no longer a believer in storing everything on your computer/hard drive, cause if your computer crashes or you run out of space, you will encounter a whole new level of irritation (take it from me 😅). Start bi...> other brands

Although I no longer own the Insta360 Go, I still use this tripod wherever I go. It's lightweight and supports the Osmo Pocket 3.

This dual-flash drive is great for saving your content on the go, regardless of which device you have. I prefer 1TB so I don't have to worry as much about space.

Although the Seagate external drive comes with a cable, I recommend picking up this one too. It’s more convenient, especially as more devices transition to USB-C.

I've bought these every time they go on sale for myself and even given them out as gifts. I believe you should always have a portable charger (or 2) on hand when creating content on the go.

I upgraded from a Blue Yeti to a Maono and so far I'm loving the quality and the sleek design.

I still haven't used this to its full advantage, but if I already own the mic and the boom arm, why not get an interface to tie it all together?!

This is my first time buying a boom arm, and I'm starting to see why other podcasters have one. It keeps the mic leveled and moves to where you are with ease. Having this is much better than me trying to stack my mic on books to raise it when working...

When doing interviews for my podcast, I switched from Zoom to Riverside. The video quality is excellent, and the AI features also provide a lot of content, making your post-recording workflow easier to manage.
