From lighting to deadcats, all types of equipment become key when vlogging. High-quality vlogs are more appealing and easier to watch; thus, investing in your kit is critical. Read about our recommendations for your Vlogging setup here.
What type of equipment do I need to start a vlog?
You could go in many directions when it comes to equipment. Our recommendation is first to sort out a camera and microphone and make sure that your set/location has good lighting. Then, before you splash out, make sure to test out filming with your phone and see how it goes. Be critical of your work but understand that you will only get better with more practice. Equipment is only good if the person using it knows how to use it well.
Is vlogging equipment expensive?
It can be, but it doesn’t have to be. If you’re using a phone that you already own, you are already there. You may need some lighting equipment, a tripod and a microphone which can come under £100 altogether if you look at the right places.
However, if you’re looking for a pro setup then it can cost you in the thousands of pounds. Great tripods alone can cost £300 and more, and when it comes to lighting kits these range in the thousands of pounds.
