Here’s what we recommend as your core kit:

• Camera: A DSLR or mirrorless camera with video capabilities (e.g. Canon EOS R50 or Sony ZV-E10).

• Lenses: A versatile zoom lens or a 50mm prime lens for crisp visuals and depth of field.

• Tripod: A sturdy tripod or gimbal stabiliser for smooth, professional framing.

• Audio Gear: A reliable external microphone (like a Rode VideoMic) to ensure crystal-clear sound.

• Lighting: LED light panels or soft boxes to brighten your subject, especially for indoor shoots.

• Editing Software: Beginner-friendly programs like Adobe Premiere Rush or DaVinci Resolve.

• Storage: High-speed SD cards and external hard drives to manage your footage securely.
