Struggling to find the right recording gear for short-form video? In this solo episode, I break down my favorite tools—tripods, mics, lighting, and more—to help you create high-quality videos without breaking the bank 

Some of the things I highlighted:

🔹 Stability matters – A good tripod or phone mount keeps your video looking professional and smooth, one of my favs is the SMALLRIG

🔹 Audio is key – Wireless lav mics like the Hollyland Lark make a huge difference in sound quality

🔹 Lighting can make or break your video – Natural light is best, but clip-on LED lights are a great backup.

🔹 Desktop mics elevate voice quality – A budget-friendly Blue Snowball is a solid choice, while the Blue Yeti offers pro-level sound.

🔹 Start small, upgrade later – My strategy is to start with affordable gear and invest in one premium tool at a time, usually on sale.
