If you or your loved one is just starting out with podcasts or need a reliable microphone for work calls, the Thronmax Mdrill Dome Plus is a great option. It’s small, easy to set up, and does what it says on the tin — delivers great sound. The two recording modes are handy too; you can focus on solo recordings or capture group chats with ease. While it’s perfect for desktops, you might feel a bit limited if you need a more flexible mounting setup. Overall, it’s a solid option for those who want great sound without overcomplicating things.

The Rode NT-USB Mini is one of those “small but mighty” microphones. It’s easy to use and gives you clear, professional-sounding audio without needing loads of extra gear. The built-in pop filter is a nice touch, cutting down on those sharp ‘P’ (plosive) sounds, and the magnetic stand is super handy if you’re working at a desk. It’s not the most versatile option if you want lots of mounting choices, but for recording straight to your computer, it’s a fantastic pick for podcasters, streamers, and more.

For anyone who loves making videos on the go or who wants to level up their audio, the Rode VideoMicro is a great little mic. It’s small, light, and really simple to pop onto your camera or phone. The audio quality is a noticeable step up from built-in mics, and the windshield is brilliant for windy days. Just bear in mind that if you’re recording on a smartphone, you’ll need an extra cable to get it set up properly. Overall, this is a great choice for vloggers or travellers who want to improve their sound without carrying loads of gear.

If you’re looking for a mic that’s small but packs a punch, the Sennheiser XS Lav Mobile is a solid bet. It clips onto your clothing, giving you hands-free recording with clear, natural audio. The long cable is handy for flexibility, but it might need some extra tidying during use. This one’s perfect for vloggers or interviewers who want their mic to stay out of sight but still deliver professional-level sound. And if you’ve moved on to phones without a headphone jack (R.I.P. wired headphones), don’t forget to grab an adapter — or go for the USB-C version.

Lighting can completely transform the look of content into something professional. It’s small enough to carry around, but powerful enough to brighten up your videos or photos. The adjustable colour temperature is a nice touch, letting you create warmer or cooler tones depending on the mood you want. While it’s not the brightest light out there, it’s perfect for casual shoots or boosting the quality of your vlogs and product photos.

The Godox LED6R is perfect if you’re after a super-small light for your camera or phone. Despite its size, it’s surprisingly versatile, with adjustable brightness and colour settings to help you create the right vibe. It’s also rechargeable, so you don’t have to worry about batteries running out mid-shoot. It’s ideal for vloggers, party videos, or even just adding a bit of creative flair to your photography.

This kit is like a Swiss Army knife for content creators. The JOBY GorillaPod Creator Kit lets you set up on almost any surface, while the included microphone is a handy upgrade from your phone or camera’s built-in audio. It’s lightweight and easy to carry around, making it perfect for anyone who’s always on the move. Whether you’re vlogging, streaming, or just experimenting with your first videos, this kit gives you a solid starting point.

The Elgato Stream Deck Mini is a game-changer for streamers and video creators. Its six customisable keys let you do everything from switching scenes to playing sound effects with a single tap. It’s small enough to sit comfortably on any desk, making it ideal for tight setups. While power users might prefer a larger version, this mini deck is perfect for creators just getting into live streaming or anyone wanting simplicity and efficiency.

A solid phone holder might not sound exciting, but it’s an essential bit of kit for any smartphone content creator. The Hollyland Phone Holder is super simple to use and keeps your phone stable for steady shots. The integrated cold shoe is a nice touch, letting you attach a light or microphone to level up your setup. It’s a no-fuss, reliable tool that’s perfect for anyone shooting video or photos on their phone.

Along the same lines as the phone holder, having a gimbal for content filmed on a phone is a no-brainer. Its 3-axis stabilisation will make your videos smooth and professional-looking, which is perfect for everything from vlogging to cinematic travel footage. The built-in fill light is a clever addition, ideal for well-lit selfies and night-time shoots. Pair it with Zhiyun’s ZY Cami app, and you unlock a treasure trove of features—SmartFollow 3.0 for tracking subjects, MagicClone for creative compositions, and even a dolly-zoom effect for dramatic shots. Plus, the ergonomic design and foldable build make it a joy to use, wherever your creativity takes you. Whether you’re making TikToks, capturing family memories, or starting your vlogging journey, this gimbal makes it all a breeze.
