Hi, friends! In this video, I’m finally sharing my compact iPhone camera setup for filming aesthetic vlogs—aka the exact tools I keep reaching for when I’m filming on the go. I get asked all the time how I film my cozy apartment vlogs and little life moments without hauling a bulky camera, and honestly… my iPhone setup is still my go-to because it’s lightweight, convenient, and it just makes me want to create more. I walk you through the little pieces that make a big difference: how I stabilize my shots with mini tripods and mounts, when I’ll use a gimbal, and what I do for clean audio (because pretty footage is great, but good sound makes the whole vlog feel elevated). I also share the mic I’ve been using (the Hollyland Lark C1), plus a few practical add-ons like cases and a power bank so I’m not stressed about battery while filming. My biggest takeaway: don’t feel intimidated by tech gear. Start with what you already have (your phone), build your kit slowly, and choose tools that won’t weigh you down—especially if you’re traveling or filming everyday life. Create videos you genuinely love, and keep it simple.
