This is the complete guide to the best YouTube equipment setup in 2025.
Since I get people in my audience asking me what YouTube gear I use, I decided to put together this super useful resource list.
In this ultimate guide you’ll learn exactly what equipment I use to record YouTube videos (while traveling and living in different locations around the world).
I’ll also share the best budget YouTube equipment needed for a pro setup, and much more.
Always remember that you don’t have to spend a lot of money as you get started, and you can upgrade your equipment and setup over time (that’s what I did after all).
Let’s get started.

What is the best YouTube Equipment Setup?
Here’s what my current professional YouTube equipment and setup looks like in 2025.
Now, let’s dive into some more details to go over every part of my professional YouTube equipment setup.
📹 Cameras
My current main camera, the Sony a6700, is perfect for content creation. I previously had the more expensive Sony a7R V, but I prefer the a6700’s smaller size and lightweight lenses, which make it much easier to travel with as a digital nomad.
I use the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 to document almost everything, from daily routines, vlogging to travel adventures. Its compact design and powerful stabilization make it a versatile tool for video creation.
I use the iPhone 15 Pro Max for high-quality photos, videos, and content creation on the go. Its advanced camera system and performance make it a reliable tool for creators.
📸 Lenses
This is the main lens I use with my Sony a6700 for talking head videos and summit interviews. It’s great for getting a nice blurry background and professional-looking results.
I previously used the Sony 16-55mm f/2.8 G with my Sony A6700 and plan to get it again. Its sharp optics, versatile zoom range, and constant f/2.8 aperture make it a perfect all-purpose lens.
