I use a series of iPhones to film my videos, and RØDE Wireless Go II mics for the audio.
As I do a lot of editing while I commute, I use an M1 MacBook Air (in Rose Gold) as my main machine!
Editing on a commute wouldn’t be possible without good noise-cancelling headphones (especially for ASMR videos!), for which I use AirPods Pro.
Of course, I wouldn’t be able to edit without saving my footage first, but no amount of built-in storage would really be enough for the amount I film though, so I edit off a 1TB SanDisk Extreme SSD.
(keyboard: A1048, mouse: wired Mighty Mouse).
I did have to splurge on a Caldigit TS3 Plus dock (again bought second hand) so that I can plug in more hard drives at once; something that’s quite important when I’m making compilation videos from footage I took years ago!
Another thing I invested in was a nice chair; I have a Haworth Zody which is probably the most comfortable chair I’ve ever owned.
If I’m filming any videos at home, I also sometimes use a Blue Yeti for the audio instead of the RØDE mics, depending on whether I’m speaking close to the mic or not.
Other than that, I sometimes borrow my boyfriend’s MacBook Pro to render videos as this can take a while when the video was shot in the dark I’ve done some heavier de-noising and colour grading.

Having all my footage and DaVinci projects on an SSD really helps in this aspect as I can get the same environment just by plugging my hard drive.
I’m not a big fan of subscription software in general, so my thumbnails are made in Affinity Photo and my editing is all done in DaVinci Resolve!
For Davinci Resolve, I initially picked it because it was free and seemed a bit of a step up from iMovie, but I bought the Studio version when I had some footage with flickering and I needed the deflicker effect.
