Best Vlogging Accessories
DigiPower Selfie Extreme Stick.
This stick extends to 5 feet and is enough to stabilize a shot.

I can never have enough memory cards. Sandisk extreme reads speeds up to 90MB/s; write speeds up to 60MB/s
PopSocket is a must for any selfie taking Instagrammer.

Video Editing
Apple MacBook Air 11.6-Inch Laptop:
This laptop I take with me on all my travels. Light-weight, small, thin; it’s exactly what I need to conduct things on the fly.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac
I’ve been Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for years. I’ll be needed ot upgrade to the creative cloud pretty soon. Adobe Premiere isn’t the most intuitive video editing software out there, but it does the job needed of professionals.
I always take 2 hard drives to back up my video and photos. Seagate is a highly recommended brand for stability. The weight is around 2x an iPhone 6
I always pack a USB card reader for transferring footage from my memory cards to my laptop/external hard drive.
Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD (2TB)
By far the smallest, lightest and rugged portable external drive I’ve owned yet! It’s an SSD vs HDD so storage is safe. Waterproof, dust and shock proof. Almost the size of a credit card. Read my review here.

WordPress Every blog is born from a WordPress theme. This is a must for every blogger. WordPress is free to download and easy to start a blog on. It offers many free and paid pre-made themes to choose from and will house your blog until it grows.
Hostgator is my favorite hosting company and great for bloggers starting out. They have cheap monthly prices, an easy interface and good customer service. I have a Baby Gator plan which houses multiple sites for around $71/ six months. I recommend them.
This website design is designed with Impreza Theme, a Themeforest theme for WordPress. It is sold through Envato, a marketplace of plugins and themes. Impreza feels easy to learn with some WordPress knowledge. Their support is really responsive and good- highly recommended.
