This course is perfect if you’re ready to create your YouTube channel, but aren’t sure how to go about it WITHOUT fancy equipment. The good news is, if you already have a smartphone with a decent camera, you’ve got the equipment you need.

For this course all you need is a smartphone and a version of InShot, plus a stylus pen and/or tripod/selfie stick (optional). I purchased InShot Pro, but there is also a free version. I highly recommend using some sort of tripod for filming, but it isn’t necessary. To film I use the video record feature on my Samsung Galaxy S10. I also use my Tribit bluetooth headphones for voice over recordings, but you can use the mic on your phone or any headphones that you have. The stylus pen doesn’t need to be high quality, but I find it helps when making smaller adjustments to the video.
