The popularity of Vlogging has grown massively recently, with people creating their own YouTube channels and uploading videos that document their daily lives in order to become the next YouTube sensation.

It seems that everyone does, some vlogging daily, while others post vlogs from time to time showing the most interesting activities they have engaged in over a period of time.

If you are thinking of becoming a vlogger, you will need certain pieces of equipment that will help you run your vlogging adventure.

Without these essential equipment, you can’t record your daily posts and you can’t do great vlogs, right? Before you start brainstorming for your vlog, take a look at all the essential equipment you will need to share your unique personality with the world.

 

Camera

This is pretty obvious, isn’t it? You know you need a camera for your vlogging project, but there are so many different options out there, it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you.

The key is to start with any room that will provide you with high quality videos, because if you stay with vlogging as a hobby or even a career choice, you can rest assured that you will improve your room as you go.

Therefore, you don’t need a ridiculously expensive camera to start vlogging. You can create great videos using the built-in webcam on your computer and you can even use your smartphone. Again, when it comes to a good vlogging camera, you can choose an entry-level DSLR, a video camera, a mirrorless camera or even the popular wild GoPro camera. The one you choose depends mainly on your own preferences and experiences and, most importantly, on the type of videos you will create.

 

Tripod

Even if you have the best camera available, you need to invest in a good tripod. Without it, your videos might prove to be shocking, which viewers won’t like. In this case, a good camera is as good as the tripod to which it is attached, if you have a heavier camera, it is even more vital to have a good quality tripod so that the video content is flawless.

If you keep your camera on the desk, make sure you mark the spot with tape, for example, so that all your videos are always consistent. Also, if you’re shooting a few GoPro cameras on the go, make sure you have a selfie stick, as this will create much better videos.

 

Microphone

People will tolerate, or may not even watch, poor quality videos, but poor quality sound is enough to make people stop. Good quality sound is vital, with this your audience will follow you everywhere, despite the image not being as good.

If there’s something that people can’t forgive so easily, it’s a bad sound. This is why you need to have a microphone in hand to ensure that your sound quality is always at a high standard. To do this, you should use an external microphone because they are the best vlogging microphones.

Those built into the cameras or computers can’t really record high quality sound. You can choose between a shotgun microphone, a USB microphone or a lavalier microphone.Lighting When it comes to indoor shooting, while you should definitely make sure you work with as much natural light as possible, you should have extra lighting if you want to get a professional look and avoid having shadows on your face.
