I want to start a Youtube channel, but I'm not sure about the equipment or what skills I need. Could I just record using an Iphone 15 or do I need some sort of mirrorless camera?My budget is $500 tops.Could go to $1000, I guess I'll need a tripod and microphone? I'm planning on recording voice over the scenes.
>>4339505you can use your iPhone for everything, just buy a light or twoalso next time you have a stupid question ask in the stupid questions thread
What you should really do:1. Use your iPhone. Go to Walmart and buy some of their cheap video lights, tripods, etc. GET A DECENT MICROPHONE.2. Start making videos. 3. You're going to suck. Buy some books on how to make better videos. "How to Shoot Video That Doesn't Suck" is a good start.Start investing in good lighting.4. You'll start getting good.5. ONLY THEN buy a GH5 or GH5ii, and buy a nice lens with it, the 12-60mm Leica branded one is a good start.What you're actually going to do:1. Blow your entire budget on the most expensive Sony camera you can with the cheapest lens you can.2. Struggle to get even 5 followers, four of them are people you begged. The fifth is probably a bot.3. Get depressed. Give up.4. Set the camera on your shelf. Occasionally remember it exists and play with it for 5-10 minutes reminiscing over what could've been.5. Become a /p/ shit poster.
It all depends on how entertaining your content is. You could get away with a potato if you are interesting enough.
