Video camera The type of camera you choose will depend upon the theme of your vlog and your experience working with and editing film. Really though, any camera that has a film capacity and can connect to your computer will work, although you will want to make sure that your option supports HD (1080p) footage. When choosing the camera you will sue, pay attention to the following video quality aspects: Vlogging Style/Genre Camera quality to look for Indoors, at night Low light performance Outdoors, travel, sports Optical image stabilization, lightweight Beauty, food 4k or Ultra HD camera Tripod Unless you are planning to use your laptop’s built in webcam, it’s a good idea to invest in a tripod for your camera. This way, you don’t have to deal with shaky footage or worry about dropping your device. Lighting Some cameras come with light adjustment features for use when you are filming in a darker environment. However, it also helps to establish your own source of light, especially if your vlog takes place indoors. Usually, an overhead light will do. Microphone Attaching a microphone to your camera will help you pick up your audio, making it a lot easier for you to later edit your footage. Consider using a microphone if you are filming outside, or in a crowded street or room.
