It does not happen with everybody but in this post, you will be able to make a mind setup that what you should use for vlogging at the very beginning if you haven't a big budget.

Have you ever noticed most of the YouTubers and the vloggers are still upgrading their vlogging quality through different aspects? You may have noticed a renowned vlogger started their vlogging journey with basic setup at the starting.

All we should care about in vlogging is the thing that we want to deliver to the viewers and the technique we are adopting to vlog. The basic gears which you can use at the very beginning of your Vlogging career.
The main thing is your creativity and technique to use small things in order to get a very beautiful output from those gears. 

Gears for Vlogging

You should always know the optimum output of your gears. Then only you can give the best to your viewers. 


1. Cameras ( best cheap camera for vlogging )

The camera is the first essential to start vlogging. Here we are going to talk about your smartphone Cameras. Someone has said the camera which you own is the best camera in the world. Just you should have to keep in mind that you must use it optimally. Nowadays mobile phone cameras are being very best. It is true that DSLRs are best in comparison to the mobile phone cameras but mobile phone cameras are not so back now, they are upgraded.

You can shoot 4K videos on mobile phone cameras. You can make motion hyper-lapse, you can shoot in 60, 120, 240 frames per second(fps) with your Smartphone. You can find different modes in your smartphone camera among them wide-angle mode helps you to create beautiful vlog with your face in the camera frame. And another benefit is that they are not even costly. You can easily get them in your budget. 



You have to purchase that phone which consists of a wide-angle camera with a depth sensor and as much as high megapixels. The sensor of your camera plays a very important role in your photo and videography. Here you can find the best smartphones under 15000 in 2020.



2. Gimbals/Tripod 

Stabilizing your video is very important. You can shoot your videos in different modes like B - roles, Selfie shoot, tracking, pan follow, and so on. Every gimbal has its own feature and its own guide of use. If you can afford the little big amount of money you can use gimbal of any brands like Zhyun's, Moza Mini, Dji Osmo mobiles, etc. There are many brands of gimble are available in the market from higher to lower prices, you can choose one. I recommend the three brands I named it just above.

If you can't afford such gimbals you can use tripodes like gorilla tripodes. Join them with your smartphone and start facing the camera. This tripod also helps you to make your video more stable.

I found these two gimbals with the best features and under a small budget. This is not the only way to make your video stabilize, you can use a simple tripod at the beginning and upgrade it later.

3. Microphone (audio quality of vlog)

When you are using the smartphone you may notice the background noise which disturbs your sound quality. You should make your audio quality best rather than video. Your audio is very necessary to be of high quality. You can make your audio better by using your brand's earphone's mic. If you can invest some money on the microphone it will be very fruitful. There is a problem, you can't find a cheap wireless microphone for your mobile in the market. In Nepal, a simple one-channel wireless microphone of Saramonic and Boya costs more than 30 thousand. It's too much for you when you are setting up your gears in a low budget. 




You can apply a technique. If you have any kind of phone which can record your voice in the SD card, you can use it to improve your audio quality. All you have to do is that start recording with a phone and keep it in your front pocket and start vlogging. You can get good audio even your camera is far from you. Finally, when you edit the video clip you can attach the audio recorded in your phone to your video. It's a simple technique when you are taking shoot from long distances. 

If you have an extra budget of 5-6 thousand more you can invest in microphones of Saramonic brand which gets attach to USB c port (charging port) of your smartphone and get very high-quality audio. 

But you can purchase a mic of Boya named Boya M1 Lavier mic which is not wireless but you can connect it to your smartphone and paste it in your tripod. Because it is a very powerful mic it can get your voice well from some distance easily and it cancels background noise too. It is 20m long too. You don't need to recharge it if you use it on your smartphone.


4. Confidence 

Your confidence decorates your vlog. You should have to go in the public and talk to your camera so you should develop your confidence high. You should be more socialized and start interacting with people. This can lit on your vlogging.


5. Shooting on Rain and Underwater

When you are traveling somewhere you may face a raining and highly foggy nature which can damage your gears. In such case you should have to manage your gears to face such problems. You can easily find the plastic pocket specially made for phones to waterproof them. You can carry such gears with you, they don't costs high. If you are shooting in pool you can easily use it and take underwater footage. 

Upgrading Your gear?



If you have some budget, you can buy a GoPro Hero series camera which very small in size. It is portable too. You can use it in your helmet also by mounting it. It costs high also. It is totally waterproof. 

If you are reading this from Nepal you can easily buy all the products from Oliz Store and if you are reading from other countries you can order from Amazon, Flipkart, etc (price may vary)
