ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) videos have become extremely popular over the last few years. This has led to an increase in microphones aimed at producing great audio for this type of activity. There are microphones for everything: from voice recording to instruments, and all of them are different. There are many possible choices out … Read more
When I wanted to get started as an aspiring vlogger, the first problem I had was the initial money I had to invest in equipment. Thankfully, the options new vloggers have are much better than when I started almost 10 years ago. Nowadays, I like recommending cameras around $500 because it’s the best range to … Read more
Ever since I started recording videos for YouTube, I never liked camcorders. But they can still be a good option. In fact, one of the biggest YouTubers—PewDiePie—has been using camcorders since he started. So who am I to judge? I will explain briefly the reasons why I don’t like them in this post. But I … Read more
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: GoPros are cool cameras, but they’re not for all types of vloggers. They’re really good if you need to mount your camera to a helmet, or if you can’t hold the camera while recording. But there are a number of reasons they’re not the best for … Read more

When I first started on YouTube, equipment starter kits weren’t a thing. This would have helped me a lot. Nowadays, I wouldn’t get one because I’ve got plenty of equipment—from cameras to mics, lights, filters, and tripods— lying around. But if I were to start, I would just go for one of these. To help … Read more
There are 2 main reasons why you should use a tripod for vlogging: 1. Stability: Holding your camera on a tripod will make the camera move less when walking. The combination of a tripod (or even better, a gimbal) and a camera with image stabilization is what makes video smooth. 2. It will make your … Read more
At the moment Panasonic is the camera brand I’m using the most. I wasn’t too convinced about their smaller sensors, but it turns out that using Micro 4/3 sensors comes with tons of benefits for vloggers like myself.
