My Vlogging and Blogging Equipment: Photography, Filming, Lighting, Editing and Sound

5 April 2016

My Vlogging and Blogging Equipment - Camera, Lighting, Sound, Editing, Photography, Computer and Filming for YouTube

I’ve been blogging for just under 5 years, and vlogging on YouTube for almost 4 years, so I thought it was about time I showed you my vlogging and blogging equipment. I often get asked questions about my cameras, photography tips, what I use to film my videos, what lighting I have, how I edit my photos and videos, so what better way to answer these questions than to put all answers in one place!

On the video below I talk about every single piece of equipment that I used (or have ever used) on my blog and YouTube channel. I’m quite a techy-girl and I love spending time (and money!) on cameras, computers and similar techy-stuff, so over the years I have acquired a fair amount of gear, which I now use to create my blog photos and YouTube videos.

[youtube=https://youtu.be/C5PWx9tusE0&w=1080] I’m very happy with my current equipment and everything seems to be up to my annoyingly high standards. Mind you, when you add it all up, this obsession of mine doesn’t come cheap, but to me it’s a hybrid between work and passion, so that’s my excuse.

If you’re just starting with blogging and making YouTube videos, you definitely do not need all this equipment. This is the product of 5 years worth of buying, selling, upgrading and investing in camera equipment! But if you’re looking to improve the quality of your photos or videos, or just want to get some ideas of the kind of things you could have, then this video will be right up your street.


Giveaway


As a bonus, and to say thank you for almost 20K subscribers on my YouTube channel (we’re so close, guys!), here’s a cheeky little GIVEAWAY for you!

If you want to be in with a chance of winning a WD MY PASSPORT ULTRA EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE, you can enter the giveaway on my Facebook page. All you have to do is like my page. Comment on THIS POST, telling me: if money was no object, what technology item would you buy? I’m already looking forward to reading your answers! Mine would be a time machine… or a more realistic one, a robot to do the housework! Maybe not so realistic after all!:) T&Cs can be found below this post and on my Facebook page.

I hope you enjoy the video and if you would like to see more blog posts and videos about my blogging equipment, do let me know on the comments below!

    OH -EM -GEEE! I mean…You have got strong nerves to work with all the equipment! Lol! But It is a very informative video for other bloggers. You always come up with something useful in terms of blogging help articles.
    I like the little remote control that has settings for taking photos and start-stop videos. I am using a Nikon Camera. Do you think it can work with that too?

    Hello Ysis, do you still have the Malm dressing table? If yes, could you please tell me the drawer’s height? I wonder if my camera can fit in it. Love xx

A whole week of you 🐶🤎 Here’s to more fun A whole week of you 🐶🤎 Here’s to more fun and laughter, more getting to know you and watching you run around the garden with the kids... and maybe a bit more sleep too?! ☺️✨

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎

Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to repre Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to represent 2021 for me and it couldn’t be more fitting.

Every time I find myself thinking things won’t work out before even giving it a chance, I repeat to myself “trust the process”. It gives me the strength I need to keep going and just like that... things do work out. Always.

This lockdown has been so much harder than the first one for me. How have you found it?

I thought it was going to be the same or easier than the first time because we’d done it before, but it’s actually been so much more testing.

The only way I’m getting through it is by 💫 trusting the process 💫
Pretty much where we’ve spent the last 2 days! 🐾🐶 Benji is settling in brilliantly and I’m so proud of the kids for showing him a lot of love and affection... and of course, plenty of playfulness! 🥰 Now we need to work on his nipping - those puppy teeth are sharp and it seems little kiddies’ wiggly toes are irresistible! Any tips? 🤎

Meet Benji 🐶🐾🤎 . Yesterday we added a lit Meet Benji 🐶🐾🤎
.
Yesterday we added a little furry friend to our family and he is just the most perfect little pup! 😍 We’re so in love with him already, the kids literally haven’t left his side. We’ve wanted a puppy since before we had kids, but decided to wait a bit.  Benji joining our family now couldn’t have come at a better time and he’s such a loving pup. Just look at that face! ☺️

He is a chocolate roan show cocker spaniel and he’s 8 weeks old today 🍫❤️ His first night went so well, I’ll have to tell you all about it at some point, but for now I’ll leave you with these pup pics to warm your hearts! 🥰
