Set-Up
There are different ways to record a video for YouTube. The method would
depend on the type of camera you have and the kind of video you intend to
shoot. There are so many options when it comes to the type and brand of
camera to use for recording videos. Instead of contemplating and worrying
about camera brands, lens kit, and accessories, focus on the content and just
use what you currently have. It could be an entry-level DLSR, a smartphone,
a handheld camera, or a webcam. As long as it can record in high definition,
it would do.
The important thing is to understand and master the basics of video
recording. You only need to have a foundational knowledge of the camera
and equipment to get started with video recording.
If you’re just starting and don’t want to spend a lot of money, you could buy
the camera that’s within your budget and just upgrade to a better camera that
would satisfy your video recording needs.
