YOUTUBE STARTER KIT
Phone-first. Lead-ready. Under $500.
Everything you need to film 30 videos at a quality your audience will respect. No camera. No excuses. The phone in your pocket plus the right $50 mic does more for your channel than a $2,000 camera ever will.
This is the kit Aaron tells every new client to start with. The phone you already own shoots in 4K. Add a wireless mic so people can hear you. Add a tripod so you can stop holding the camera. Add a soft light so your face does not look like a hostage video. That is it. Everything else is procrastination disguised as preparation.
