Which camera do I need to get started? Which lens? Sound? Tripod? And what else is important?
In this video, some of the best-known and best German-speaking content creators (both filmmakers and photographers) share their personal tips for getting started in 2024. What would they decide if they were starting over again...?
Be sure to also watch the second part of this video on @mikesuminski's channel. It addresses the question of how all these creators would launch their careers if they were starting over again today.

My recommendations:
🚁 For all drone owners, I can also offer a special deal for highly recommended liability insurance at Helden.de. Using the following link, you'll permanently (forever, for life) pay only eleven months' membership fee instead of twelve. That's a permanent savings of almost 10% on what I consider to be one of the best insurance policies in this sector.

🎥 Other clever insurance policies (not only) for professional filmmakers that I also use myself: office and equipment insurance, as well as professional liability insurance with passive legal protection.

With the Heldencode "3N5Y1," you'll also permanently save a full month's premium every year.
