Creators' Must-Have Equipment
In the latest episode of our podcast, we dive into the essential equipment every content creator should consider. From lighting to storage solutions, we cover all the bases to ensure you can produce high-quality content without breaking the bank.
Lighting
Lighting is crucial, especially if you live in a place with less natural light. The host mentions, "I got this new light setting that I really wanted to show you guys." Investing in a small but powerful light can make a significant difference. The host uses a nail technician's light, which proves to be very effective.
Cameras
When it comes to cameras, the iPhone is a popular choice. The host shares their experience, saying, "For me, the best phone I've ever had is iPhone 13 Pro." They also note the importance of using the back camera for better quality and stability.
Tripods
A good tripod is essential for stable shots. The host advises, "Get something that's quite stable at the bottom as well." They recommend tripods with adjustable angles to save time and nerves.
Microphones
Microphones are a bit of a contentious topic. The host mentions, "In UGC world, we overuse the visible microphone." They suggest finding creative ways to hide the microphone or using less conspicuous options.
Storage Solutions
Storage is another critical aspect. The host shares their struggle with finding adequate storage, stating, "I did 4 TB of storage... it is so helpful." They emphasize the importance of organizing content and having multiple storage solutions to avoid losing valuable footage.
Avoiding Unnecessary Purchases
It's easy to fall into the trap of buying equipment you don't need. The host warns against purchasing items like the DJI gimbal, which they found to be a waste of money for their needs. "Do your research and ask around before making a purchase." They encourage listeners to reach out to the community for recommendations.
"Remember, the key to UGC is authenticity. Find what works for you and stick to it."
