YouTube/Instagram Tools

I'm no longer using Amazon affiliate links. So if you want to find these products, give them a little Google.

Canon camera

Canon EOS M50 Compact System Camera

This is the camera I use for my YouTube videos and the photographs I take on Instagram. It has never failed me.

sigma lens

Sigma 302971 Lens 30Mm

I use this lens on my Canon camera. It allows me to achieve that blurry background look on my videos and Instagram photos.

RØDE Wireless GO II

RØDE Wireless GO II

This is the microphone I use for all my videos. I attach it to my clothing and link it up to my Canon so I can get it nice and close.

Tripod

K&F Concept 72" Overhead Tripod

This tripod has been so helpful when taking Instagram photos. I can angle it down for flat lay-style photos, and it can get real tall. I also use this for my YouTube videos.

Ulanzi Smartphone Tripod Mount

I attach this to my tripod so I can mount my phone for Instagram reels. It’s incredibly sturdy and hard-wearing - way better than a plastic one.

Neewer RGB Softbox Lighting Kit

Neewer RGB Softbox Lighting Kit

These are the lights I use for both Instagram and YouTube. You can control them via an app and have much better control over the general vibe of your video.

Epidemic Sound

Epidemic Sound

I use Epidemic Sound for the background music in every video I create. It saves me so much time searching for decent lofi background music.
