What Lights and Microphone Do I Need for Online Selling and Videos?
Quick answer

Viewers forgive an average picture but not bad sound. A ring light fixes dark, flat video, a tripod keeps the phone steady and a lavalier or USB microphone gives clear voice. Start with those, then add a shotgun microphone or an audio interface if you record music or podcasts. Test in the place you will shoot and check the microphone works with your phone or computer.

04Frequently asked questions

Which microphone for a phone?

A lavalier or a phone-compatible wireless set; check the connector (USB-C, Lightning or 3.5 mm).

Do I need an audio interface?

Only for XLR microphones on a computer; USB microphones plug straight in.

How bright should a ring light be?

Bright enough to fill your face evenly; adjustable brightness helps.

Is a gimbal worth it?

For walking shots, yes; for sales videos a tripod is often enough.
