Where can you get a camera and vlogging equipment from?
2. Walmart
3. Target
5. Websites that sell technology
2. Get a plan and a schedule
This means writing on a piece of paper the times that you plan on vlogging. Are planning on mondays, tuesdays? Or will you vlog on fridays and saturdays? You need to figure out what times you plan to vlog then you need to write it down in your notes, on a calendar, in your scheduler.
3. Get a angle
This means every vlogger knows how important it is to have an angle. What is an angle? It’s the direction and how you hold your camera. It’s how you position yourself in the camera. It’s how you film whatever you are trying to film, are you going to hold it vertically or horizontally?
4. Get a charger
If you are really trying to be a vlogger now, you need to charge and keep your camera and phone at 100%, but you also need to keep your charger with you, it would be really smart of you to get a portable charger or portable charging dock. You also need to get another battery if you need one or some and you also need some sd cards because vlogging takes up a lot of memory.

5. Get a tripod
The tripod is what holds your camera, what carries your camera, and what your phone or camera sits on. The tripod helps carry your phone or camera but it also helps with angling your camera and also can keep your camera secure from any shaking or moving around.

6. Get a camera case
You need a camera case for more than just your camera and so you don’t lose it, but you need a camera case for your charger, your battery and your sd cards. You need a camera case for your planner and calendar too.
7. Get a backup camera
You need a backup camera in case you lose your camera and are on a schedule or you want to keep vlogging so you can have it ( meaning the backup camera) ready in your camera case. You also need another camera in case your other camera is charging, broke, or you want a different look to your vlog.
8. Get a microphone
If you want what you are saying to be heard clearly, or better than the microphone on your actual vlogging camera, you should buy a microphone for your camera.
9. Get a flip screen if you can
This is so that you will be able to see yourself as you are talking into the camera. It’s not something that you have to have, but it is something that you should.
10. Get a strong arm and hand
Vlogging, if you do not have a tripod or even if you do have a tripod, requires a lot of holding, hand strength, arm strength for stretching out the camera for specific angles.
