Getting started

The gear you actually need

Start with your phone, natural light from a window, and a quiet room. Add a small tripod or phone stand first, then a clip-on microphone if your audio sounds echoey.

The essentials

You can make good videos with just these.

  • A recent phone, with the lens wiped clean
  • Window light in front of you, not behind
  • A quiet room with soft furnishings to cut echo

Useful upgrades

Buy upgrades only when you notice a problem. A phone stand fixes shaky framing. A clip-on mic fixes hollow sound. A small light helps when you film after dark.

Apps

A free mobile editor covers trimming, captions and music. Use the in-app editors on TikTok and Instagram for quick posts.
