About this tool
Viewers forgive soft video far sooner than bad sound. Tell the planner what you film, where, and your budget, and it splits the money across microphone, lighting, tripod or stabiliser, backdrop and extras in an order that suits your setup, with notes on what to look for in each. It is a planning guide that does not rate specific products.

Frequently asked questions
What should I buy first for video?
A decent microphone. Poor audio puts viewers off faster than a slightly soft picture, and a clip-on or close microphone is the biggest improvement per pound.
Do I need a camera as well?
Not at first. A recent smartphone shoots very good video if the light and sound are right.
Is the Video Creator Kit Planner free?
Yes. Video Creator Kit Planner is completely free with no sign-up, limits or watermarks.
Is my data private when I use the Video Creator Kit Planner?
Yes. It runs in your browser, so your input is not uploaded to our servers.
