I dive into my current setup, including:
Camera App: How I use the Blackmagic Camera app (and why it works surprisingly well with my DJI Osmo Mobile 8 gimbal). Learn about its features like gesture control and external monitoring!
Video Editing: My go-to mobile video editor, VN Editor, for quick and efficient editing on my iPad Pro.
Audio Setup: My affordable Hollyland Lark H1 microphone setup and how it integrates with my phone.
Thumbnail Creation: Discover Photopea, a free Photoshop alternative I use for designing all my YouTube thumbnails.
My Workflow: A full breakdown of how I move files from my iPhone (13 Pro) to my iPad Pro and MacBook for editing and uploading, including backup strategies.
Budget Breakdown: A detailed look at the cost of my entire setup, proving you don't need expensive gear to get started.
