Phone, light, and mic: the only gear most UGC creators need to start in India.

Background that helps

Phone

Creator gear tiers under Rs 500, 2000, and 5000
Start with what you have. Upgrade after paid deliveries.

Recent mid-range or flagship phones are enough. Clean the lens. Shoot 1080p minimum.

Light

Face a window for free key light, or use a ₹500-2000 ring light. Avoid overhead yellow room lights only.

Audio

Quiet room beats expensive mic. Closer phone = better audio. Lav mic optional for upgrades.
