Always wanted to be a vlogger but don’t know which equipment to get? Here are some quick tips to get you started.
If you’re reading this, chances are you already have the right equipment to be a vlogger. That’s right, your smartphone is capable of producing decent videos and images that are Youtuber-worthy.
Moreover, you don’t even need expensive gear or a high-end smartphone to start your vlog journey. Some mid-range smartphones, like the Samsung Galaxy A series, come packed with awesome features, large storage capacity, and long battery life, all for less than RM2,000!
Starting A Vlogging Career With Your Smartphone
1. Choose Your Camera
To make great content, you have to make sure that your audience can see you for who you are. That’s why a camera is the most important part of a vlogging setup, because nobody wants to see shaky, out-of-focus videos.
The Samsung Galaxy A series comes equipped with an awesome OIS main camera that is always sharp and steady even in Auto mode, so you don’t need to worry about fancy settings like ISO or apertures when you’re out shooting.
These phones support super phase detection auto-focus technology, so you’ll always be the star of the show in your vlogs. Not only that, you can also shoot in slow-motion with up to 480fps video recording while not compromising footage quality with the Dual Conversion Gain (DCG), giving you dynamic range and colour balance in uncompressed file formats.
2. Consider Battery Life
Want to vlog for the entire day, or even multiple days? Battery power is often a real concern when it comes to long periods of shooting, as it disrupts the flow and adds unnecessary delay to what should be a fun day of recording memories. When choosing your vlog setup, pay close attention to the battery capacity.
The Samsung Galaxy A series can hold up to 2 days of battery power on a single charge. Moreover, the phones also support fast charging so you can plug in, take a quick break, and then get out of the door to continue filming!
3. Editing and Post-Production
Once you’ve got your footage, you’ll need to edit them so that you can tell your story the way you want it to be told. With its extendable RAM that goes up to an impressive 16GB, the Galaxy A series allows you to edit your videos and photos on the same device.
You can run multiple apps at the same time without worrying about lag or overheating, as the higher specced Galaxy A73 5G comes with an effective cooling system that combines Heat Pipe and Vapour Chamber to disperse heat efficiently.
4. See Your Results
Now, your video is shot, edited, and ready for upload. When you’re doing a final review of your vlog, you’ll need to have a good display so that you don’t miss out on any mistakes.
The Galaxy A series comes with up to 6.7” sAMOLED Infinity-O displays (Infinity-U in the A33’s case), so you’ll always be able to see the bigger picture. With up to 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+, all your interactions with the screen will be buttery smooth.
The first step is always the hardest to make. Now that you’ve got the basics down, go forth and spread your story! As the saying goes, “sharp tools make good work”, so make sure you select the right equipment to start a vlog and create quality content for your audience.
