Gear List

Choosing and learning to use the right camera, mic, and lights make all the difference!

In the sections below, I'll provide categorized purchase links to all the equipment I personally use for my videos.

I found as many of the products as I could on Amazon so you can easily make one order from one source and get fast shipping! Wherever possible, I have chosen the official vendor's Amazon store to ensure authenticity.

EACH LISTED ITEM BELOW IS A CLICKABLE LINK!

CAMERA, LENS, and accessories

While you can get started using an iPhone, graduating to the right DSLR or mirrorless camera will help make your video quality look as good or better than the pros!
