Lights
This is a very affordable Ring Light for when natural light just won’t do. Works great with SmartPhones.
This mid-range LED light is a good step-up from the ring light. But you'll need a lighting stand to go with it.
When you are ready to go full steam ahead, this cracking Godox VL150 will do the trick. Very powerful indeed!
You will need to pair the Godox light with a softbox, and we’d recommend this model.
This lighting stand will work well for both the LED and Godox lights.
Audio
A great entry-level microphone that will work with SmartPhones and cameras alike. For an iPhone though, you'll need an adaptor.
iPhone Lightning adaptor to pair with the entry-level microphone.
This is one of the best Apple-only directional microphones you can get for an iPhone.
Professional grade, unbelievable quality audio from these little wireless units. They're very well priced and will give you maximum flexibility with their great range.
A nice little case to keep the Wireless kit safe and protected.
Stuff
Stability is key when filming. This is a very basic tripod which will do the trick if you are on a budget.
If you'd like sturdier tripod investment, then this model will last you for years. It's a travel tripod too, so combines a lightweight design with sturdy reliability.
Using Zoom a lot and want to have some background options ? This GreenScreen kit will work wonders. You can get cheaper options, but you'll need stands and clamps too - this is an all-in-one solution.
Don't shun the infamous Selfie Stick - we use this all the time for quick iPhone videos, especially when stability is needed ... or when both hands are needed!
