Lighting
Lighting is key. Since the rise of the influencer, blogger, vlogger, YouTuber and video content creator, companies are creating professional video and photo lights for this specific niche. The most popular is a ring light set. If you search on Amazon, it seems impossible to know which ones are any good.
My favorite ring light is the Aduro U-Stream Studio 10” Ring Light and it comes with a tripod that has an impressive adjustable height. The tripod adjusts from 18”- 52” which will come in handy more than you know. It has three different lighting options: white, warm yellow and warm white and ten different levels of brightness. My fave combo is white and max brightness.
If you’re spending money on a professional camera, you gotta invest in lighting. You can set your camera up on another tripod, angle your ring light to face you straight on, or stream or film from your phone by placing it in the ring light’s adjustable phone holder right in the center. It’s USB powered so no worries about running low on battery, just make sure you have a USB port to plug into and you’re ready to start creating or streaming the next big thing.
