These are some tools I use on a regular basis. I’ve broken this down into two lists: One for those of you who are interested in just writing. And one for folks who want to pursue photography and video. Note: Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may make a small commission at no cost to you. I appreciate your support!
Writing gear
MacBook Pro 14-inch
Otter app: It transcribes an interview and distinguishes between the speakers while you are conducting the interview. Total game changer! I use the free version.
Hard drive to back up my files
iPhone
Photography and video
Here’s a recent Instagram reel that features most of the gear my husband and I use to shoot. Keep in mind: You only need a phone to get started as a content creator; we slowly got this gear along the way.
MacBook Pro
Peak Design Travel Tripod (Pick the carbon fiber one if you want to go more light weight. They also have a new one that Jimmy Chin helped design.)
iPhone
Sony E-Mount Camera Lens: FE 24-70 mm F2.8 G Master
Capcut Pro
Adobe Creative Cloud
