Video Production Equipment Checklist
Video Production Equipment for All Budgets
Nowadays, you don’t need a huge budget to make a video. There is good quality video gear available to you at all levels. And while it’s important to spend some money for quality, prices have definitely come down over the years making a lot of important video production equipment available to you.
There is no one gear package that will be right for everyone. It depends on your needs, your budget, and your skillset.
Here are my recommendations for some of the basic video production equipment you might need.

Editing
Once you’ve shot your video, you will need to put it together. While editing software may seem daunting, you can edit a professional video with some basic cuts and free software. Learning the basics is fairly easy with just a few beginner tutorials allowing you to get started right away. Editing software can include a lot of bells and whistles that you may never need or you can slowly learn as you go.
