From booking cheap accommodations to finding the right software, everything is listed below.

What Camera do I use?
The question almost everyone asks me is what camera do I use.
I started Vlogging with my Mobile camera but within a few months, I upgraded to an Action Camera. I wanted a cheaper option than GoPro but wanted a comparatively good quality output. After weeks of research, I ended up on Xiaomi Yi 4K.
Now Yi 4K serves as my go-to camera for all the adventure and underwater shots and for all the main vlogging purpose I have my Canon G7X Mark II.
For all the professional Projects, I go with my Sony A7iii. Its Compact, lightweight and gives me the best output.
Yi 4K Action Camera
I Prefer this cam for all my action shot, let it be trekking, underwater, while driving bike, cycling etc. It’s Rigid and easy to carry around and can be mount anywhere we want.
Canon PowerShot G7x Mark ii
This is the main camera I prefer to use for Vlogs. It’s Super Compact, easy to carry, easy to play around and it gives amazing output.
Sony A7 Mark iii

Camera Accessories
It’s always necessary to have the right pieces of equipment for the right shot. So, here are few of my equipment
Monopod
I personally prefer using a monopod when vlogging because it’s sturdy and it gives me leverage to extent the camera away from me or keeps it close without taking help from others
