Content Essentials
Clear audio can make or break your viewers attention.
Mini Vlogging Microphone
No body is tuning in to dark or washed out videos. You have to have a proper lighting situation.
Selfie Light
Help take your content to the next level but setting multiple scenes and backgrounds.
Photo Backdrop
This is what they mean when they say scroll stopping content. Something as simple as a smooth movement can be pleasing to the eye.
Motorized Rotating Display Stand
You don’t have to rely on natural lighting for great content. Invest in great lighting and you can shoot content any time of day.
Studio Lights
It’s a game changer to edit your content on a bigger screen. I made a promise that after my first big UGC check, I would reward myself with one.
Apple iPad 11-inch A16, 128GB, Blue
Don’t mess with the hassle of trying to clip your phone in anymore. A magnetized tripod is much more efficient.
Magnetized Tripod
No more shaky content with something next level like this.
Stabilizing Handheld Gimbal
For the GRWMs in the bathroom. You can achieve the perfect hands free angle.
Suction Cup Mirror Phone Holder with Light
Cost effective mount for on the go. Unfortunately it doesn’t attach to every surface so I believe there are better options out there for professionals. But a great gift idea for a young, aspiring content creator.
Magnetic Suction Cup Phone Mount
This I would say is another cost effective alternative but for a stabilizer attachment for your phone. Allows a little more comfort holding your device. Definitely recommend if you feel bigger equipment may feel daunting.
PopSockets Phone Grip with MagSafe
I love MagSafe for our quickly interchangeable your accessories can be. This back camera monitor allows you to be able to film yourself on your back camera but still see what you are filming.
MagSafe Vlogging Monitor Screen
THIS is the camera the girlies are talking about!!!! Think those best might out photos, real feel vlogging, and capturing a lived in feel. Trust me this will be a big step, but a life changing one!!
Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
You’re always going to need more storage. Call me old school, but having a hard copy is actually essential to a digital copy. God forbid you lose something precious. It would be too late!
SanDisk 256GB Memory Card
Make for transferring content a breeze directly from the card to your phone or iPad.
SD Card Reader for iPhone/iPad
