Starting out as a YouTuber, Vlogger or purely just someone who wants to create video content can be a bit of costly at the beginning.
But if you do your research well, you can be able to get some good and quality gear at a very reasonable price. But don’t get it twisted, video gear/equipment is not cheap, that is something you should know right ahead.
Below we have put together a list of good and affordable budget camera and gear you can buy just under R20 000 budget. The most important thing is mostly the camera which comes with a good lens. If you will be doing more tutorials and vlogging then include a microphone to get a good sound.
Don’t get it wrong though, having an expensive camera doesn’t mean you will have mind-blowing videos, cause shooting skills matter, editing matter, your content matter. So there are tiny details you need to pay attention to so you can be able to be the best video creator.
So do take a look at the best budget cameras and equipment:
