[@saintrighteous8416]

I make all my videos on my phone

[@giokinks6864]

Hello, I created all my videos using my IPhone 📲 As a beginner I think it is very important to start with what we’ve got !

[@seaman_ansari]

50+ videos

[@FoundationBibleStudies]

ALL my videos have been made on my phone.

[@NJCALI]

I have over 200 videos uploaded I have an iPhone

[@mrforeverfit4847]

I've had multiple people who own cameras comment positively on the video quality of my videos. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S10 recording in 4K. Always use the camera on the BACK of your phone. Can't wait to upgrade my audio with a better mic. Wishing all the smartphone content creators much success 💪🏾

[@PerrySkyePhoenix]

How do you shoot with the back camera when you can't see if you're in frame?

[@francisaiello289]

T.y.mr.4everfit and keep on gettin it bro.

[@DesharThomas]

Honestly, I’ve been using my phone for the past 4 months to record my basketball content, and the quality is awesome!!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

SWEET!!! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

killing it!

[@DesharThomas]

@@ThinkMediaTV trying too! Hopefully one of these days we can collab! Anyone in the studio a good shooter? 👀🏀

[@nhlanhlantando7045]

What is the name of your phone

[@TheRuthlessRabbit]

Thanks… What is niceyrig with the mirror setup? I can’t find at all I need that!!! Help please…

[@FantaandDarwin]

We kept waiting for the right time; the right gadgets; and the right software to start this channel. Did a lot of waiting and then we decided to just pick up our iPhone 12 and get started and stop waiting for the perfect storm. We have a camera now but our phone held it down!!! Edit: we still use our iphone especially for those times when lugging a big camera is awkward

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Crushing it guys!!

[@silentcry254]

Your channel is my number one online class since 2015. You do a good job. Keep doing what you love.

[@teslastepanovic9080]

Thanks!

[@sheriannwalker3263]

I started my KZbin channel on Monday. It was my birthday but more importantly it was my goal date to do my first video as I am finishing a book to be published a year from now. I want to build a community around my book and my mission. I wasn’t “ready”. I didn’t have anything other than my iPhone, a flexible little tripod (that sat on my table on a stool), my kitchen windows for light, my content written out and me. I only did it because I promised myself that I would. And I’m old enough to have learned a long time ago that 80% of good enough is better than 100% of nothing. So, I did it and it’s raw and unedited but I did it. I started and stopped a half dozen awkward starts and in frustration I put my notes aside and just spoke to one person in the camera. It wasn’t a specific person. It was just a person in my mind whom I want to reach with my messages. I’m not worried about the mistakes and the unedited beginning and end. Because I did it and I know I’ll get better. Love this channel and thank you for inspiring!

[@ithinkaboutthings9052]

Starting is probably the hardest part. For me, I’m working past being too critical of my videos. It’s a slow process for me, but I’m plugging along with my new hobby. I’m going to bounce to your channel for more details about your book project.

[@sheriannwalker3263]

@@ithinkaboutthings9052 thanks for your comments. I don’t know anything about editing (but I’ll learn). I was happy that I got it all successfully uploaded. Dozens of encouraging and personal responses from that rough first try. I learned a long time ago that 80% of good enough is good enough. Appreciate you taking the time!

[@BibleSymbolism]

Im an author too. Looked at your page and it’s showing no content. What happened?

[@thetruckerskitchen772]

Omar, of all the Think presenters, you are my favorite. Very concise and straight to the heart of things without being snotty or coming off with air of knowing it all. Great gear video, again. And great tips on using b-roll

[@crazymusiclady]

Omar, thanks for the informative video. I"m a beginner KZbinr. You're the first video I saw that actually showed where the micstand and phone is located when shooting a video live. I was so confused with other people who introduced the equipment they were using piece by piece, but you couldn't tell where their phone or mic was when shooting that particular video. Thanks so much for allowing me to see the full picture behind the scenes!

[@CreativeCashflow1]

Your biggest enemy is your own procrastination. Keep crushing it.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

You got it!!

[@TheOnlyTaps]

💯

[@justinansell]

100 percent agree.

[@eightsix73]

I almost skipped watching this because I thought it was another product review. This was genuinely helpfully. Probably saved me hours of frustration because other KZbinrs have said you can “just use your phone” which I’m now sure isn’t entirely true. To their credit they weren’t trying to tell you how to produce a video just that you don’t need a dslr. Thanks for the great video.

[@RaquelNavas]

I use my android phone to record videos , edit videos, upload to youtube. Been on KZbin for 3 years.

[@shannonskiptomylife]

So helpful! You guys are the only ones doing these kinds of vids for us. Thank u!

[@DesignAtelier]

Dude. I built my whole channel around my iPhone 8 and I’m still using it. Those lenses were all I needed.

[@TheQuantifiedScientist]

Thanks for the video! What is on top of the phone at 00:42 ? Also, is there some inexpensive accessory (e.g. some mirror attachment) that will allow you to see yourself when recording the "talking head" section on your phone with the rear camera?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

[@cahyo.wicaksono]

I think that is the one of the best accessory

Omar showed me step by step how to use tripods, 🎤microphones🎙 and camera📷 lenses when, for what and where to create really good and professional videos with my smartphone! Very clear and brilliant instructional video!

[@GivemChills]

Perfect timing, I just sold my A7ii and waiting on new camera releases to buy, in the mean time I have ben filming on my iPhone 12 Pro Max.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

If you crush it with your phone you will kill it with a camera! 💪🏼

[@TheLawnmowerLady]

I'm crushing it with my old Samsung Galaxy S4 - no joke, mounted in a 2-axis gimbal with a quick release mount easily to switch between steady handheld, and static shot mounted on a floor tripod.

[@webgeneral]

I'm still using an iPhone SE from 2016... but I'll buy the lens kit and just put them on my Super Nintendo to shoot my videos... Thanks for the advice man!

[@adhdtrader5748]

Tht phone is a beast! I had 128GB, shot a lot of awesome footage w/it, miss it

[@stephannagy657]

Think Media has the best advise ever....I am starting to make videos for my pest control business and with your help and advise, I will have great videos. Thanks Think Media Team

[@WisLockman]

I just bought the iPhone 12 Pro Max. I run Rode Microphones, Videomicro, Rode Go, NT- USB, TX-M2, Filmmaker Kit.

[@WisLockman]

I also upgraded from my iPhone 8 Plus to the 12 Pro Max.

[@ChrystalPaull]

I now have a Samsung Galaxy S21 ultra, but most of my videos were shot on my old Samsung phone (galaxy S7 edge). Lighting, audio (lav mic), and editing definitely helped with quality of the videos I shot on that phone. Now my videos are looking way more crisp with this new phone. The cameras are amazing!

[@wildclay]

Thanks for the informative video and equipment recommendations! I appreciate it. So far I've recorded all of my videos on one or both of our smartphones... fortunately, we have multiple tripods. Now I just need to choose a mic.

[@rvstewart4211]

Omar is awesome! Thanks to everyone on the team

[@honduranlinda]

Yooo that $25 lens kit is clutch! Thank you!! I’ve been postponing starting my channel but these tips have been helpful.

[@migosyrntakeoff2929]

I’ve been postponing too lol no more excuse

[@Boohooooo]

Best channel I’ve come across in this niche! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@b2tbpodcast257]

I use my phone and every video I made was with it. im impressed with the quality and how good the built in Mic is . more videos coming

[@CreativeThinking52]

Hi Omar, Thanks for sharing these awesome tips on You Tube equipment. Have a wonderful weekend. 🤗

[@TheBBQGamer]

I just started my channel in February. It a tough slog. However I use my Samsung S20 Ultra smart phone. The lenses, lighting and broll tips are of great value for me. Thank you.

[@echodesignstofit]

Same here, started February too and have been using my smartphone

[@TheBBQGamer]

@@echodesignstofit you shouldn't hide how many subscribers you have. It's counter productive.

[@echodesignstofit]

@@TheBBQGamer thanks but it's a choice

[@MaskedMarble]

I bought the $25 lens kit you have linked, but think I’m going to return it because the wide angle lens is blurry around the periphery - not clear like in your video above. My lens clip is a different shape than yours, so I wonder if the production quality changed?? This stinks.

[@RobertJamesGoddard]

Thank you for this! Just getting started vlogging for my business and this really helps

[@mindnificent-moneyandminds6608]

Amazing video as always! For those who started their KZbin channel, do not give up because your hard work will be rewarded!

[@ChichiGlobal]

Love This! Thanks Omar. All of your tips were very helpful and much needed. Shalom Yall!

[@GAMECLOSET]

I will be honest: I am having trouble with simple lighting. Sometimes I want a particular mood and I can achieve that fine. However, when I just want to do a straight host segment, I am having trouble and mostly that is because my studio is a very small room. So, my lights and camera don't have a lot of places to go. UGH. Additionally, the "studio" itself is pulling double duty being my eBay room for the time being and that is making things even tougher. Sometimes things look great. Other times they don't look as great as they could have been. Fine tuning the craft is work for sure. When it comes to editing, pre-production, and content, I am there. My channel has a comedy element to it as well and I have that down too- but the lighting/camera is making me crazy. BTW: I love your videos. Your on screen presence is nice, and informative. You present yourself like a teacher, not a game show host and I love that.

[@NaiomesPalace]

I own a 8plus . It shoots okay videos for now but I do want to upgrade phones soon . These tips are great. I’m definitely gonna get these items to make my video and audio quality better. Thank you so much

[@Harsfhduggj]

Love from India ♥️♥️♥️

[@morealtyteam]

Your delivery is on point. Love it and keep it up!! Wish I saw this last year, been using the selfie and didn't know about the mirror or cheap lighting.

[@MrDarshD]

Thank you Omar and Think Media team!

[@ManchesterTechGuy]

I'm using an s21 ultra and before that it was an S10. The Pro video mode is a godsend as I can manually change iso, white balance, etc. It's like filmic pro, but built in. Also, that lens kit looks really good for the price. Will definitely be picking that up.

[@brackdaddydomestic9033]

Thanks for the tips. I’m just starting out on KZbin and I’m using the 2020 iPhone SE. I’m still learning the ropes, but you guys really know your stuff!!

[@FoundationBibleStudies]

I appreciate y’all Omar, y’all are super encouraging.

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

The best thing that you can do with your smartphone is getting a gimbal and external microphone. The camera quality is already *high quality* but stability and audio are crucial elements that need to be maintained in order to retain audience retention. It will be your *best* investment when filming on your smartphone.

[@kurlymeka]

i use my phone and i agree with you

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

@@kurlymeka How is your channel going? :)

[@kurlymeka]

@@ThreeTwentyTech I am not sure if it is good or bad at this moment I have over 200 subs and over 500 hours watch time I started in May 2021. Would you say that’s good

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

@@kurlymeka that's honestly really impressive. You're on track to hit 1000 subs and get monetised within the next few months if you keep improving. My only advice to you is compare yourself to who you were yesterday and not to someone else. It's important to understand that everyone grows at different rates and comparing yourself to others will only leave a sour taste in your mouth. Goodluck!

[@kurlymeka]

@@ThreeTwentyTech awe thank you I will take your advice
