    If you've dreamed of starting a UA-cam channel but haven't got an expensive camera and gear yet, this video's for you. We talk over my top tips for filming quality videos with your iPhone / Android using the app Filmic Pro. The audio is probably the most important part - I'd highly recommend using the Rode VideoMicro to start with, and you can always graduate to an external audio setup (like I have) later on. Good luck with your journey!

    Thanks for getting me moving Ali!

They're not professional quality but you can go a long way with basically no gear or extra software.

If I can figure out the camera setup on my Android phone I'd be more than happy with the quality of the video even without spending £££ on super fancy cameras.
