I don’t have a public, definitive gear list out there yet, so I’ll share what I typically recommend and what’s standard for on‑camera hosts like me.

For video and lighting:

  1. DSLR or mirrorless camera (or a latest‑gen smartphone for social content)
  2. Softbox or ring light, plus natural light when possible
  3. Stable tripod and, if moving, a gimbal

For audio:

  1. Lavalier mic (wired or wireless) for interviews
  2. Shotgun mic for run‑and‑gun or red carpet
  3. Headphones to monitor sound

For appearance and prep:

  1. On‑camera makeup kit and blotting products
  2. A few “go‑to” wardrobe options that fit the brand
  3. Shot list or run of show, plus questions printed or on a tablet

Are you asking so you can build your own on‑camera kit, or are you curious specifically about what I personally use?
