People have been asking what I use to record my videos and Podcast. Today I'll be discussing the recording gear I use for the my creative process. You really don't need to run to the store and buy the big camera, lenses and microphone when starting to record. I personally started with just my phone and progressed into a larger camera, today's phones are capable of getting your projects started!
I use a Cannon T6I- EOS Rebel and is about $700, but you can find them for lower if you look around. I only use this camera, this new camera has been recorded with the T6I and it shoots up to 1080p. 4K is something i don't do right now, because everyone hasn't switched over to 4k. If I was going to start over, I would have order it online via Amazon. If you're all new to this, I recommend purchasing a bundle. I didn't get a bundle because I had things prior to upgrading to this camera.
Cannon 24mm pancake lens is what I use for my photos and recording. Having a nice lens enhances your quality, but you don't have to buy a new lens the first time you get a camera. You can use the stock lens and wait until you can afford a higher quality lenses.
I use the mini-mic that's perfect for video podcast or blogs. The larger microphones will work better for interviews, but the mini-mic is something that's commonly used by other YouTubers.
My suggestion is start out simple and build from there! Just get it done, you can make really good quality items with just this simple set up. You don't have to put yourself in debt to just get started. If you've never used the fancy camera or set up, you may not make anything better than what you would with something simple. Crazy creative and beautiful is something that comes with time when building your Podcasts, YouTube videos, and other videos.
Yo! I'm just a normal dude sharing my life experience with you.
