- Smartphones: Can serve as primary or secondary cameras, but may require adapters for optimal audio quality through external microphones.
- Podcast Mic Kits: Provide great audio quality, especially from a seated position, and are effective in removing background noise. They require the speaker to be close to the microphone.
- Tripods: Essential for holding cameras or smartphones, with options ranging from portable, adjustable tripods to ultra-compact table tripods.
- Smartphone Shoes: Useful for holding a smartphone on any tripod and come with a shoe on top to attach a microphone.
