Requirements
Whether you’re just starting your YouTube journey or looking to take your videos to the next level, this class breaks down everything you need to know about gear. Without the fluff, the hype, or the pressure to spend a fortune.
I’m Edi, and over the last few years, I’ve built my YouTube setup piece by piece. Not all at once, not with a massive budget—but slowly, by making intentional upgrades, learning from mistakes (and even a bit of heartbreak when my gear got stolen), and figuring out what actually matters.
In this class, we’ll explore gear at three different levels:
– Level 1: Just starting out or planning to start
– Level 2: Some experience under your belt, ready to level up
– Level 3: Advanced creators who want to push their quality even further
We’ll cover everything from cameras, lenses, lighting, and microphones to editing software and strategic non-physical upgrades that improve your workflow. I’ll also share tips for different filming styles like vlogging, talking-head videos, and cinematic content, because the right gear depends on your goals.
It’s not about buying everything or keeping up with the latest trends. Instead, it’s about learning what gear will truly make a difference for your specific needs and goals. I’ll guide you through the process of making thoughtful, intentional purchases that fit your content style and budget.
