My Camera Gear for YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok Videos
Camera Gear
One of my most frequently asked questions is what is my camera gear for social media: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and the blog! Here is a comprehensive list of equipment I currently use and love in 2020!
Best NEW Compact & Travel-Friendly Gear
If you’re just starting out with content creation in 2020 or you’re looking for the MOST COMPACT high quality camera set up, look no further! The new Sony ZV-1 (currently on pre-sale) paired with the Rode Wireless Go is a game-changing compact set up! See my Amazon Live Stream demo HERE
Main camera and lens for YouTube videos and Instagram photos:
The main camera I’ve used since 2016 and it shoots stunning photos. Although it is heavy for vlogging, it shoots beautiful cinematic 4K videos and the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, perfect for professional use.
Best microphone for crisp and clear audio
Having great quality audio is important to any video!

Vlog Camera
I’m always on the hunt for the BEST compact vlogging set up. I purchased this February 2020 and find it difficult to use in low light because of the f/4 lens. I do love the wide framing and 4k capability of the Canon M50.

IGTV & TikTok Camera Gear
Vinyl Backdrop
I love these vinyl backdrops, they’re light weight and super portable. I’ve always struggled with finding the perfect location for a flatlay but these backdrops make shooting content so much easier! I’ve had mine for 4 years and it’s held up very well! I have a 5x7 and would recommend something larger if you plan to shoot video.
