Taking PRO-Level selfies or phoneography can be much easier when you have the right equipment.
Here are some quick links for you to take a look at what I use for making my selfies and phoneography a breeze. I only share links to the things I have tried and tested and then implemented into the way we do things here at Peary HQ. Full disclosure, these links are affiliate links.
Keeping Things Steady
Efuytech Selfie Stick Tripod
A great multi-purpose selfie stick with an added tripod. A great tool to have if you want a solid all-rounder to begin getting better at shooting selfies.
The Bluetooth remote is such a clever tool to be able to set your phone up steadily then step back and get a great group shot.
Yarrashop Selfie Stick with Fill Light and Wireless Bluetooth Remote Control
Same functionality as the other selfie stick I have, but this one is a bit more girly. A good choice if you like to make a statement with your gadgets.
Tarion Overhead Tripod Mount Articulating Arm Phone Holder
SUCH a helpful clamp to have your phone as a webcam, or to make your working day more ergonomic.
OMOTON Adjustable Cell Phone Stand
Really handy gadget to shoot selfies and keep your phone at eye level when at work. I've used this with a macro lens to get a really close up flat lay with steady support instead of a tripod.
The Pod R0017 B Camera Platform Red & Black
The more sophisticated version of using a bean bag or a bag of rice to balance your phone when you are in a bind. You will be suprised how much you use this as a reliable piece of your selfie kit. I promise!
Best Magnetic Car Phone Holder
If you fancy embracing the car-selfie or car-vlog (please drive safely) this is a great place to start.
Smartphone Handheld Filmmaking Video Rig
If you want to work on getting consistent before spending big (always the right order by the way) on a fancypants vlog set up this piece of kit helps you transform your phone into a solid filming rig.
Ailun Phone Holder
For those times when you need to hold your phone secure for longer than your hand and arm can manage. I love that I can attach this to my tripods AND to my desktop clamps.
Keeping Things Lit
QIAYA Selfie Light Ring Lights LED Circle Light
I love having one of these in my handbag for a night out. It makes the selfies SO MUCH BETTER because you don't have to rely on a poor quality built-in flash.
Neewer Camera Photo Video Lightning Kit
It is really hard to find a well-priced ring light for selfies that has enough power to really make a difference. This one has that level of power and comes with a good stand too.
Ring Light, ZOMEI 10" LED Ring Light, Dimmable Desktop USB
It may seem excessive but having an additional desktop ringlight just makes things easier and more fuss-free for me (who wants to be setting up and re-positioning a ring light before EVERY Zoom meeting). I love that I can easily click the strength of this light up and down depending on how the sunlight is affecting the look of how I'm showing up on Zoom calls.
Professional Photo Light Box
When you are on a budget, and you need some good product shots that you want to begin shooting on your own, this is the piece of kit I recommend. Perfect for small to medium products.
Keeping Things In Focus & Looking Pro
APEXEL Camera Lens Kit
A lot of people ask me about the right direction to go in when it comes to upgrading the lens capability on their mobile phones. You can get a bunch of really cheap ones, that are unpredictable and tend to break quickly. This is a great collection of not-too-pricey lenses that you can use to level up your skills before investing a lot.
APEXEL 120 Degree Wide angle Lens
Extra Wide crop shots are impossible on a normal built-in mobile camera lens. With this nifty addition, you can catch better landscapes, bigger group shots and capture more in your shots without having to climb a ladder to get everything in.
LUXSURE HD Phone Lens Clip on Camera Lens Kits
An easy starter set of lenses to kick off your improved selfies and DIY phoneography.
General Photography Equipment
WEX - WAREHOUSE EXPRESS UK
The first place I go to when hunting for new equipment is Warehouse Express, a really friendly company based in Norwich. They have such a nice team, they do trade in's and you can buy a wealth of good quality second hand too.
This takes you to my Mention Me account with WEX so you can get £20 off your next order.
