Best YouTube Gear 2026 | Cameras, Mics & Drones We Actually Use

Thinking about starting a YouTube channel, travel vlog, cruise channel, or RV channel? In this PKAT Chat, we're pulling back the curtain and showing the cameras, microphones, drones, action cameras, and accessories we use to create our videos. From our early days filming with a Nikon DSLR and iPhones to our current setup featuring DJI, Sony, Insta360, GoPro, and Rode equipment, we share what worked, what didn't, and where we spent money that made a difference. We discuss the DJI Pocket series, Sony ZV-E10, Sony ZV-1, Nikon cameras, Insta360 X5, GoPro action cameras, wireless microphones, stabilization, audio quality, drone filming, underwater video, cruise ship tours, RV content creation, and more. If you're a content creator looking for gear recommendations, this live stream is packed with real-world experience and lessons learned. We also share stories from our daughter's recent wedding, upcoming cruise plans, travel adventures, and the evolution of our YouTube journey over the past several years. #YouTubeCreator #VloggingGear #TravelVlogger #DJIPocket3 #Insta360X5 #GoPro #CruiseVlogger #PKAdventureTravels
