Hi everyone,
I’ve been thinking about stepping up the quality of my TikTok videos and I’m wondering what kind of camera setups you all recommend. Right now, I’m just using my phone (Samsung Galaxy S21), and while it does the job, I feel like the lighting and clarity could be better, especially for indoor recordings. Do you think it’s worth investing in a mirrorless/DSLR camera for TikTok, or are newer smartphones good enough if paired with proper lighting? Also, how do you handle stabilization — do you use tripods, gimbals, or just rely on built-in features?
On a related note, I came across TikTok 18, which is a modified version of TikTok designed mainly for adults. It offers fewer restrictions, extra features, and can be a good option if you’re looking to share or watch content that isn’t always available on the regular app. If anyone’s curious, you can check it out here.
Would love to hear your experiences or setups, whether you’re using budget gear or more professional equipment. Any tips for improving audio would also be great.
Thanks in advance!
