Content Creator Equipment & Software 🎬
My filming, photography, and streaming set ups are all designed to be super travel friendly.
Filming
I try to keep my filming and photography set up travel friendly, but I still prefer my umbrella lights at home, so its a work in progress.
I use the s22 because it was the best refurbished version available at the time. I film ALL my content on it, I hardly ever use my DSLR anymore. I'd get the s23 if i bought one today.
Powerful for their size. I have two I put on pocket sized tripods.
I have a few of these. I put my travel lighting and. my phone on them. Also great for getting shots out and about if your friends are bad at photography.
This is great because you can use regular lightbulbs and folds down to be reasonably compact. The ones that come with it aren't good, so I'll link what I switched them out for next.
These super bright bulbs in 4000k dramatically changed my video game. Editing was suddenly 10x easier. It really is crazy what good lighting can do.
Editing
I like easy to use editors that do well with portraits/people. I edit Mainly 10-20 minute videos, large photo sets, and TikToks.
The exact laptop model I use.
It can easily and pretty quickly render and compress 4k video while I watch YouTube in another window. I also stream on it.
I bought it refurbished too. Highly recommend 🌟

Probably the most powerful user-friendly video editor around. It has all the basics, plus decent beauty filtering, the best AI noise reduction I've ever seen/heard, and lots of fun effects.
Better than lightroom. More user-friendly, faster batch edit processing, and has some photoshop & facetune features on top of the basics!
Indispensable for compressing large video files without losing quality and its FREE
This is the best beauty filtering and light correcting phone app I've found. It can batch 9 photos at a time from your phone, and does video really well too.
It isn't designed for desktop though.

I use this for thumbnails, watermarking and the odd graphic asset here and there.
Streaming
I stream Just Chatting to 3 different platforms. See my laptop, cell phone, and lighting listed above which I also use in this set up.
This webcam really upgraded my stream even though twitch can only accept 1080p, you can tell the difference.
You guys are always asking me about my bed on stream 😅
Free software I use for streaming, also great for screen recording. Feel free to ask about plugins if your curious about one I'm using.
I use this to connect my webcam, and sometimes HDMI during streams. Also pretty helpful for general use.
This is great for having my phone and extra lighting on one tripod. The phone holder clip also clips on the the legs of my umbrella light tripod for a nice stable low angle when filming content.
Other Tools
Friendly to some higher risk industries and relatively easy to use.
Has some of the best analytics and customization options around.
